Hotel Portofino
Romance, intrigue, and dangerous ambitions combine to create the perfect escape: welcome back to the beautiful Hotel Portofino on the magical Italian Riviera. HOTEL PORTOFINO: LOVERS AND LIARS IS OUT NOW! ***NOW A MAJOR ITV DRAMA*** A heady historical drama about a British family who open an upper-class hotel on the magical Italian Riviera during the ‘Roaring 20s’. Hotel Portofino has been open for only a few weeks, but already the problems are mounting for its owner Bella Ainsworth. Her high-class guests are demanding and hard to please. And she’s being targeted by a scheming and corrupt local politician, who threatens to drag her into the red-hot cauldron of Mussolini’s Italy. To make matters worse, her marriage is in trouble, and her children are still struggling to recover from the repercussions of the Great War. All eyes are on the arrival of a potential love match for her son Lucian, but events don’t go to plan, which will have far reaching consequences for the whole family. Set in the breathtakingly beautiful Italian Riviera, Hotel Portofino is a story of personal awakening at a time of global upheaval and of the liberating influence of Italy’s enchanting culture, climate and cuisine on British ‘innocents abroad’, perfect for fans of Downton Abbey and The Crown.
Kamishibai Man
Author: Allen Say
language: en
Publisher: Houghton Mifflin Harcourt
Release Date: 2005-10-24
The Kamishibai man used to ride his bicycle into town where he would tell stories to the children and sell them candy, but gradually, fewer and fewer children came running at the sound of his clappers. They were all watching their new televisions instead. Finally, only one boy remained, and he had no money for candy. Years later, the Kamishibai man and his wife made another batch of candy, and he pedaled into town to tell one more story—his own. When he comes out of the reverie of his memories, he looks around to see he is surrounded by familiar faces—the children he used to entertain have returned, all grown up and more eager than ever to listen to his delightful tales. Using two very different yet remarkable styles of art, Allen Say tells a tale within a tale, transporting readers seamlessly to the Japan of his memories.
The Last Homeland
The epic second novel in an internationally acclaimed trilogy, set in the rugged mountains of the Veneto Winter 1868. On the rugged, breathtaking mountains of the Veneto, the De Boer family are holding on to their tobacco farm, scratching out a lonely existence. But when tragedy arrives, and their precious tobacco-smuggling gold is stolen by bandits, twenty-year-old Jole De Boer must face the disaster alone, armed with only her father's old rifle. During the chase, Jole traverses snow-covered forests and deserted villages on a journey that will force her to go further than she ever imagined. For she soon learns that the border between good and evil is often indistinguishable, and that her own survival depends on uncovering the truth. This is the second novel in the internationally acclaimed Soul of the Border trilogy. Matteo Righetto is an award-winning author and professor of literature who lives between Padua and the Dolomites. Many of his works take place in beautiful mountain landscapes that he knows deeply, having visited them since childhood backpacking with his father. The Last Homeland is the second title in his internationally acclaimed trilogy. The first title in the trilogy, Soul of the Border, was published by Pushkin Press in 2018, and the final volume, The Promised Land, is forthcoming, also from Pushkin Press.
