Page, author of The LidoPraise for The Miseducation of Evie Epworth &‘Tight, clever and riddled with wit. Like discovering Adrian Mole or Bridget Jones for the first time.&’ Joanna Nadin, author of The Queen of Bloody Everything &‘A sweet, fizzy sherbet dib-dab of a book - deliciously nostalgic, hugely funny and ultimately heartwarming. The perfect book for our times.&’ Veronica Henry &‘Such a joyful and uplifting read. Just the sort of thing that people will want to be reading right now.&’ Anita Rani, Radio 2 Book Club 'Full of fabulous characters, sprinkled with joy and drenched in wit.' Milly Johnson 1972. Ten years on from the events of The Miseducation of Evie Epworth and Evie is settled in London working for the BBC. She has everything she's ever dreamed of (a career, a leatherette briefcase, an Ossie Clark poncho) but, following an unfortunate incident involving Princess Anne and a Hornsea Pottery mug, she finds herself having to rethink her life and piece together work, love, grief and multiple pairs of cork-soled platform sandals. Ghosts from the past and the spirit of the future collide in a joyous adventure that sees Evie navigate the choppy waters of her messy twenties. Can a 1960s miseducation prepare her for the growing pains of the 1970s? Big-hearted, uplifting, bittersweet and tender, All About Evie is a novel fizzing with wit and alive to the power of friendship in all its forms.Capria 1 - Despierta tu magia (Capria #Volumen 1)

Riftspawn, mage Lyuc is tired and ready to back away from the concerns of humanity. But the world isn’t done with him yet. While traveling with a merchant caravan, Lyuc encounters Yan, an Unnamed, the lowest caste in society. Though Yan has nothing but his determination and spirit, he reminds Lyuc what passion and desire feel like. While wild magic, a snarky, shapeshifting, genderfluid companion, and the plots of men and monsters seem determined to keep Lyuc from laying down his burden, only Yan’s inimitable spirit tempts him to hang on for another lifetime or so. All Yan wants is to earn the sponsorship of a guild so he can rise above his station, claim a place in society, and build the family he never had. After hundreds of years of self-imposed penance, all Lyuc wants is Yan. If they can survive prejudice, bandits, mercenaries, monsters, and nature itself, they might both get their wish… and maybe even their happily ever after.O palácio de papel

BESTSELLER #1 DO NEW YORK TIMES Alguma vez se chega a esquecer o primeiro amor? Décadas de segredos e mentiras…
conduzem Elle a este dia. E sobram-lhe apenas vinte e quatro horas para tomar a decisão que mudará a sua vida para sempre. Numa manhã perfeita de agosto, antes que alguém acorde, Elle Bishop sai para nadar na lagoa do «Palácio de Papel» - uma casa em Back Woods, Cape Cod, onde a sua família, há muitas gerações, passa todos os verões. Ao passar em frente à casa, Elle vê, no alpendre fechado, a mesa desarrumada com as coisas do jantar da véspera: copos de vinho vazios, a cera das velas na toalha, ecos das gargalhadas de familiares e amigos. Quando mergulha na lagoa, lembra-se do que aconteceu na noite anterior: o encontro secreto e apaixonado com o seu companheiro de infância, atrás da casa, enquanto o marido, a mãe e os convidados conversavam lá dentro. Assim começa uma história que se desenrola ao longo de vinte e quatro horas; Elle terá de decidir entre o mundo que construiu com o seu amado marido, Peter, e a vida que sempre imaginou que teria ao lado do seu amor de infância, Jonas, se um acontecimento trágico não tivesse mudado para sempre o curso das suas vidas. Fascinante e surpreendente, O palácio de papel ilumina, de forma brilhante, as tensões entre desejo e segurança, legado e tragédia, e os segredos que todas as famílias escondem.
