With neither friends nor family, Lucy Snowe sets sail from England to find employment in a girls's boarding school in the small town of Villette. There, she struggles to retain her self-possession in the face of unruly pupils, a headmistress who spies on her staff, and her own complex feelings: first for the school's English doctor and then for the dictatorial professor, Paul Emmanuel.

Story26
When Marilyn Kleinman is caught making out with the rabbi’s son in front of the whole congregation, her parents ship her off to her great-aunt Ada for the summer. If anyone can save their daughter’s reputation, it’s Philadelphia’s strict premier matchmaker. Either that or Marilyn can kiss college goodbye. To Marilyn’s surprise, Ada’s not the humorless septuagenarian her mother described. Not with that platinum-blonde hair, Hermès scarf, and Cadillac convertible. She’s sharp, straight-talking, takes her job very seriously, and abides by her own rules…mostly.

Some melodies are never meant to be finished, only remembered. Elara Matthews once believed music was her future. Now she runs a quiet bookshop by the harbor, surrounded by other people’s stories and the silence she’s carefully built around her own. Years ago, she walked away from a promising career and from the unfinished song that tied her to the one collaborator she never quite forgot.

Anvers, années 70. Le jeune Bennie Goodman sait que son père Moshé aimerait mieux le voir à la synagogue qu'à fureter dans les ruelles du quartier des diamantaires. Mais c'est plus fort que lui : la prière l'ennuie, le diamant le fascine. Après tout, c'est dans ce secteur que son grand-père Yéhuda a fait fortune, et quoique le patriarche ait coupé les ponts avec son fils et son petit-fils, ce dernier ne peut réprimer sa fascination. Des ateliers de taille aux vastes salles de négoce de la Bourse, Bennie ne renoncera devant rien pour se faire sa place et un nom.

Ohne Geld und mit wenig vorzuweisen nach seiner Ausbildung an der Kunsthochschule, nimmt Cal die Fähre nach Hause auf die Insel Harris und all das, vor dem er nach Edinburgh geflüchtet war, ist wieder da: das karge Leben auf den Hebriden, der windgepeitschte Kreislauf aus Schafzucht und Nächten am Webstuhl, die Enge der Inselgemeinschaft. Sein Vater hat ihn nach Hause in sein altes Leben beordert. Sie sind einander so nah und kennen sich so wenig, blind für das wohlgehütete Geheimnis des anderen.

In Boyfriend Material, Luc and Oliver met, pretended to fall in love, fell in love for real, dealt with heartbreak and disappointment and family and friends...and somehow figured out a way to make it work. Now it seems like everyone around them is getting married, and Luc's feeling the social pressure to propose. But it'll take more than four weddings, a funeral, and a bowl full of special curry to get these two from "I don't know what I'm doing" to "I do". Good thing Oliver is such perfect Husband Material.

It is Beijing in the 1970s, and Lai lives with her parents, grandmother and younger brother in a small flat in a working-class area. Her grandmother is a formidable figure - no-nonsense and uncompromising, but loving towards her granddaughter - while her ageing beauty of a mother snipes at her father, a sunken figure who has taken refuge in his work. As she grows up, Lai comes to discern the realities of the country she lives is. But she also goes through what anyone goes through when young - the ebbs and flows of friendships; troubles and rewards; and the first steps and missteps in love.
