Reese Witherspoon's March Book Club Pick!'Big-hearted, earthy and funny... A rattlingly good story' Deborah Moggach, The Best Exotic Marigold HotelEvery woman has a secret life...When Nikki takes a creative writing job at her local temple, with visions of emancipating the women of the community she left behind as a self-important teenager, she's shocked to discover a group of barely literate women who have no interest in her ideals.Yet to her surprise, the white dupatta of the widow hides more than just their modesty - these are women who have spent their lives in the shadows of fathers, brothers and husbands; being dutiful, raising children and going to temple, but whose inner lives are as rich and fruitful as their untold stories.

Austen''s most popular novel, the unforgettable story of Elizabeth Bennet and Mr. DarcyFew have failed to be charmed by the witty and independent spirit of Elizabeth Bennet in Austens beloved classic Pride and Prejudice. When Elizabeth Bennet first meets eligible bachelor Fitzwilliam Darcy, she thinks him arrogant and conceited; he is indifferent to her good looks and lively mind. When she later discovers that Darcy has involved himself in the troubled relationship between his friend Bingley and her beloved sister Jane, she is determined to dislike him more than ever. In the sparkling comedy of manners that follows, Jane Austen shows us the folly of judging by first impressions and superbly evokes the friendships, gossip and snobberies of provincial middle-class life. This Penguin Classics edition, based on Austen''s first edition, contains the original Penguin Classics introduction by Tony Tanner and an updated introduction and notes by Viven Jones.

"L'arte della gioia" e un libro postumo: giaceva da vent'anni abbandonato in una cassapanca e, dopo essere stato rifiutato da molti editori, venne stampato in pochi esemplari da Stampa Alternativa nel 1998. Ma soltanto quando usci in Francia ricevette il giusto riconoscimento. Nel romanzo tutto ruota intorno alla figura di Modesta: una donna vitale e scomoda, potentemente immorale secondo la morale comune. Una donna siciliana in cui si fondono carnalita e intelletto. Modesta nasce in una casa povera ma fin dall'inizio e consapevole di essere destinata a una vita che va oltre i confini del suo villaggio. Ancora ragazzina e mandata in un convento e successivamente in una casa di nobili dove, grazie al suo talento e alla sua intelligenza, riesce a convertirsi in aristocratica attraverso un matrimonio di convenienza. Tutto cio senza smettere di sedurre uomini e donne di ogni tipo. Amica generosa, madre affettuosa, amante sensuale: Modesta e una donna capace di scombinare ogni regola del gioco pur di godere del vero piacere, sfidando la cultura patriarcale, fascista, mafiosa e oppressiva in cui vive. "L'arte della gioia" e l'opera scandalo di una scrittrice. È un'autobiografia immaginaria. È un romanzo d'avventura. È un romanzo di formazione. Ed e anche un romanzo erotico, e politico, e psicologico. Insomma, e un romanzo indefinibile.

Winner of the Reddit Fantasy Award for Best Debut 2018 'The best fantasy debut of 2018' - WIRED A brilliantly imaginative epic fantasy debut, inspired by the bloody history of China's twentieth century and filled with treachery and magic. When Rin aced the Keju - the test to find the most talented students in the Empire - it was a shock to everyone: to the test officials, who couldn't believe a war orphan from Rooster Province could pass without cheating; to Rin's guardians, who had hoped to get rich by marrying her off; and to Rin herself, who realized she was finally free from a life of servitude. That she got into Sinegard - the most elite military school in Nikan - was even more surprising.But surprises aren't always good. Because being a dark-skinned peasant girl from the south is not an easy thing at Sinegard. Fighting the prejudice of rival classmates, Rin discovers that she possesses a lethal, unearthly power - an aptitude for the nearly-mythical art of shamanism.Exploring the depths of her gift with the help of psychoactive substances and a seemingly insane teacher, Rin learns that gods long thought dead are very much alive - and that mastering these powers could mean more than just surviving school. For while the Nikara Empire is at peace, the Federation of Mugen still lurks across a narrow sea. The Federation occupied Nikan for decades after the First Poppy War, and only barely lost the continent in the Second.And while most people calmly go about their lives, a few are aware that a Third Poppy War is just a spark away...
