In 1944 Henry Tillotson brings his new wife, Mararet, home to his farmhouse in the English countryside. Margaret is a strange, unpleasant woman, determined, it seems, to make Henry's life miserable. 'Poor Henry!' say his friends, as they visit at weekends and holidays. 'What an awful life he has!' But Henry is not at all the sad and disappointed man we might expect him to be. He manages to enjoy life, and indeed, has quite a lot of fun, one way and another ... Mary Wesley's story takes a sharp but light-hearted look at love, sex, and marriage - and the things people will do to get what they want

Written during the final stages of her illness, "The Garden Party and Other Stories" is full of a sense of urgency and was Katherine Mansfield's last collection to be published during her lifetime. The fifteen stories featured, many of them set in her native New Zealand, vary in length and tone from the opening story, "At the Bay, " a vivid impressionistic evocation of family life, to the short, sharp sketch "Mrs. Brill, " in which a lonely woman's precarious sense of self is brutally destroyed when she overhears two young lovers mocking her. Sensitive revelations of human behaviour, these stories reveal Mansfield's supreme talent as an innovator who freed the story from its conventions and gave it a new strength and prestige.

When James and Matthew spent the weekend with Henry Tillotson in 1954, they took an instant liking to the country house that Henry had inherited from his father. His wife was a bit odd though - she never seemed to get out of bed. Gossip suggested that Henry had inherited her as well.

Patrick Aldermann, an accountant with a company that makes toilets, is passionate about his roses, which he prunes ruthlessly, 'deadheading' any blossoms a minute past their prime so as to make space for the younger blooms. Not much of a gardener, Dalziel views Patrick as a strong contender for the title of Most Boring Man in Yorkshire. Pascoe, though, has noticed that senior executives at the toilet company 'gentlemen, you might say, just a minute past their prime' have an unlucky habit of dying. And when they do, it's all but inevitably Patrick who, like a lucky young bloom, is poised to take their place.

Sinds drie dagen immobiliseert de sneeuwstorm de grote Amerikaanse stad en dreigt het immense, ultramoderne vliegveld te verlammen, dat al niet meer toereikend is voor het verkeer. De directeur, Mel Bakersfeld, vreest een ramp en vraagt tevergeefs om hulp: geen budget, "los het zelf op", wat hij doet, gesteund door sommigen en gehinderd door anderen. Hij kan rekenen op een kleurrijke teamleider, een ware kracht van de natuur, en op een vrouw wiens diepe betrokkenheid en scherpe intelligentie hem van onschatbare waarde zijn. Hij moet op zijn hoede zijn voor een piloot die hem niet mag en zich zorgen maken om zijn broer, een traumatische radarcontroller die ooit een luchtbotsing heeft veroorzaakt. Daarnaast moet hij het opnemen tegen de agressieve advocaat van de bewoners die gefrustreerd zijn door het lawaai van de vliegtuigen. En moet hij ook vrezen voor een kleine, vreemde man met een aktetas die aan boord gaat van een langeafstandsvlucht? Een suspense in de stijl van Hitchcock, met tragische en ontroerende situaties, allemaal in de ruimte van één enkele nacht... Achtergrond van deze meeslepende roman is het vliegveld, een monsterlijk organisme met een eigen leven en geheimen.
