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

"Oh, how delightful it is to fall in love for the first time! How exciting to go to your first dance when you are a girl of eighteen! But life can also be hard and cruel, if you are young and inexperienced and travelling alone across Europe ... or if you are a child from the wrong social class ... or a singer without work and the rent to be paid. Set in Europe and New Zealand, these nine stories by Katherine Mansfield dig deep beneath the appearances of life to show us the causes of human happiness and despair." Publisher description

For fifty years after Dr Watson's death, a packet of papers, written by the doctor himself, lay hidden in a locked box. The papers contained an extraordinary report of the case of Jack the Ripper and the horrible murders in the East End of London in 1888. The detective, of course, was the great Sherlock Holmes - but why was the report kept hidden for so long ?

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.
