Nunchi (noon-chee): ‘eye measure’; the subtle art of gauging other people’s thoughts and feelings to build harmony, trust and connection. Ever wondered about that good-not-great colleague who gets promoted ahead of everyone else? No, they’re not sleeping with the boss, they’ve just got great nunchi. Or that friend-of-a-friend you’ve just met but already instinctively like? How about the family member who seems to understand what you need before you’ve worked it out yourself? They’re nunchi ninjas, even if they don’t know it. Nunchi is the guiding principle of Korean life, considered essential for survival, happiness and success. It’s the art of instantly understanding what other people are thinking and feeling, helping you improve your relationships in life. Korean parents believe that teaching their children nunchi is as important as teaching them to cross the road safely. With great nunchi, it feels like the world is on your side. Without it, you might get hit by something you never saw coming. Honing your nunchi can help you find and connect with the right people in everything from love to business, make you shine at work, and reduce your social anxiety. People will take the side of a nunchi master, even when they’re not sure why. And it’s a skill you can learn no matter who you are, where you are, or where you want to go. All you need is what you already have – your eyes and ears. Improve your nunchi, improve your life.

A hilarious, straight-talking read for anyone who's ever despaired at the politics of the school run. Maia Etxeleku is a cleaner for ladies who lunch. With mops and buckets in tow, she spends her days dashing from house to house cleaning up after them, as they rush from one exhausting Pilates class to the next. But an unusual inheritance catapults her into the very exclusive world of Stirling Hall School - a place where no child can survive without organic apricots and no woman goes a week without a manicure. As Maia and her children, Bronte and Harley, try to settle into their new life, Maia is inadvertently drawn to the one man who can help her family fit in. But is his interest in her purely professional? And will it win her any favours at the school gate? Previously published as 'The Class Ceiling'.

De verwende miljonairsdochter Ruth Kettering krijgt van haar vader een wereldberoemde robijn: het 'Vurig Hart'. Zoals van veel beroemde edelstenen wordt verteld, zou ook de robijn zijn eigenaar echter ongeluk brengen. In dit geval klopt dat. Ruth wordt, terwijl ze op weg is naar de Franse zuidkust, vermoord. Dat haar moordenaar tenslotte wordt ontmaskerd, is te danken aan een van haar medepassagiers in de trein: niemand minder dan Hercule Poirot.

"When Framboise Simon returns to a small village on the banks of the Loire, the locals do not recognize her as the daughter of the infamous woman they hold responsible for a tragedy during the German occupation years ago. But the past and present are inextricably entwined, particularly in a scrapbook of recipes and memories that Framboise has inherited from her mother. And soon Framboise will realize that the journal also contains the key to the tragedy that indelibly marked that summer of her ninth year."
