      A young man takes three journeys, through Greece, India and Africa. He travels lightly, simply. To those who travel with him and those whom he meets on the way - including a handsome, enigmatic stranger, a group of careless backpackers and a woman on the edge - he is the Follower, the Lover and the Guardian. Yet, despite the man's best intentions, each journey ends in disaster. Together, these three journeys will change his whole life. A novel of longing and thwarted desire, rage and compassion, "In a Strange Room" is the hauntingly beautiful evocation of one man's search for love, and a place to call home.

Tales of dwarfs and frost giants, of treasure and magic, and of Asgard, home to the gods: Odin the all-father, highest and oldest of the Aesir; his mighty son Thor, whose hammer Mjollnir makes the mountain giants tremble; Loki, wily and handsome, reliably unreliable in his lusts; and Freya, more beautiful than the sun or the moon, who spurns those who seek to control her. From the dawn of the world to the twilight of the gods, this is a thrilling, vivid retelling of the Norse myths from the award-winning, bestselling Neil Gaiman. *This book has been printed with two different cover designs.

      In Ga heen, zet een wachter komen vele personages uit Spaar de spotvogel voor, maar het verhaal speelt zich twintig jaar later af. Jean Louise Finch (of Scout, zoals ze wordt genoemd) keert terug naar haar geboorteplaats Maycomb om haar vader te bezoeken. Wanneer ze haar vaders kijk op de maatschappij probeert te doorgronden, wordt ze gedwongen persoonlijke en politieke dilemma's onder ogen te zien. Daarbij moet ze haar gevoelens onderkennen omtrent de plek waar ze haar jeugd doorbracht. Harper Lee laat in deze roman zien hoe de personages uit Spaar de spotvogel zich aanpassen aan de turbulente gebeurtenissen die Amerika halverwege de jaren vijftig transformeerden. Het ontroerende en meeslepende Ga heen, zet een wachter biedt een fascinerend nieuw perspectief op Harper Lee's moderne klassieker en is een uitmuntende roman op zichzelf.
