Скачать книгу - The Lonely Passion of Judith Hearne
A timeless classic dealing with the complexity and hardships of relationships, addiction and faith.Judith Hearne, a Catholic middle-aged spinster, moves into yet another bed-sit in Belfast. A socially isolated woman of modest means, she teaches piano to a handful of students to pass the day. Her only social activity is tea with the O'Neill family, who secretly dread her weekly visits.Judith soon meets wealthy James Madden and fantasises about marrying this lively, debonair man. But Madden sees her in an entirely different light, as a potential investor in a business proposal. On realising that her feelings are not reciprocated, she turns to an old addiction – alcohol. Having confessed her problems to an indifferent priest, she soon loses her faith and binges further. She wonders what place there is for her in a world that so values family ties and faith, both of which she is without.

Год издания: 

Many women, driven by a need for change in their lives, contact a marriage agency. These are their stories – ironic, woeful, romantic, and often very funny – as varied and as wonderful as the women themselves. Working as a matchmaker in the 1990’s Irina had seen a lot related to the international dating phenomenon, particularly as it was viewed through the eyes of Russian Women. The author is a Russian, but she has written these stories in a charming idiosyncratic English.


Appassionata Appassionata

Автор: Mart Laur

Год издания: 

On 1974. Pietro Salvari, andekas muusikaopetaja, kelle kulm ratsionaalsus voib olla sama havitav kui tema sisemised vastuolud ja talitsematu saavutusjanu, leiab end vaikesest Itaalia magikulast, kus tema saabumine rebib lahti vanad haavad ning ahvardab pinnale tuua aastakumneid varjatud saladused. Intriigide hamaruses saab Pietro majakaks erakordne mees, kelle voimuses on anda elu suurmeistrite sundimata muusikale, ent kes peab selle eest maksma ranka hinda… Samal ajal kaivitab Roomas plahvatanud autopomm uleriigilise otsingu terroristi tabamiseks ning jaljed osutavad tundmatule, kelle uks varjunimesid on Salvari. Viiskummend aastat enne seda astub aga noor Silvia Manzo Napoli uduses sadamas viimasele laevale, mis viib pogenikke Uude Maailma, aimamata, et teda ootab ees suurim proovilepanek, mille ta eales labi teeb… Mart Lauri debuutromaan Appassionata palvis Tanapaeva 2011. aasta romaanivoistlusel teise koha.
