Tug of Love
by Allie SpencerLove, lust and litigation - a riveting romance so addictive it should be illegal! Unsurprisingly, divorce barrister Lucy Stone is a bit of a cynic when it comes to love. And working with egotistical weasel Hugo Spade doesn't help matters. Then Mark comes along, ticking all the boxes, and Lucy can't believe her luck. But when Lucy has to choose between the man of her dreams and the career opportunity of a lifetime, it seems there really is no justice in the world. And the re-appearance of sexy-ex Jonathan is the last thing she needs. Is Lucy about to be found guilty of making the biggest mistake of her life?
Tuiteando en tuk tuk
by Alvaro Soldevila Ribelles Stefan MeyEste libro cuenta la historia de una persona que se fue a la India a trabajar y allí encontró algo muy diferente. Esto puede resultar algo familiar, pues no pocos libros, no pocas películas, no pocas historias han tratado de gente que viaja desde occidente al lejano oriente y alcanza allí la iluminación espiritual. Pero no hay que preocuparse, este libro se esfuerza en ser diferente, ya que ha surgido más o menos sobre la marcha. Al principio fueron los tuits y las entradas en Facebook con los que el autor quería llamar la atención del mundo hacia sus experiencias; entonces surgió un blog… y cuando a su regreso a occidente se dio cuenta de que incluso los más fieles y pacientes de sus amigos acababan huyendo de las cuatro horas de monólogo sobre Shiva y perros callejeros en respuesta a la típica pregunta "¿Cómo están las cosas realmente en India?" decidió fundir todas sus experiencias en un libro. Principalmente para que sus amigos no tuvieran que escucharle más tiempo. Como corresponde a la oscura historia de su nacimiento, este libro se lee de forma diferente a la literatura tradicional sobre viajes. "India 2.0 - Tuiteando en tuk tuk" es como una tableta de chocolate. Esto significa que se puede disfrutar de tres maneras: Se puede leer de principio a fin, como se aprendió en la escuela o se puede abrir en cualquier punto al azar y empezar ahí a disfrutarlo. Los breves capítulos de esta "novela de autodescubrimiento en redes sociales" pueden entenderse también como pequeñas anécdotas en lugar de como una historia completa; pueden leerse tranquilamente entre el último tuit y el siguiente e-mail, porque viajamos con el espíritu de la época: en una era en la que los vídeos de YouTube no deben ser de más de 90 segundos, el consumidor de información medio tiene un margen de atención equivalente a un pez de los canales de Ámsterdam. Y por supuesto quedaría aún una tercera posibilidad: leer el libro, comprar un billete y

by A.B. YehoshuaA “spryly amusing [and] deeply affecting” novel of a Tel Aviv family coping with the sudden mental decline of their beloved husband and father (Kirkus Reviews, starred review).A National Jewish Book Award FinalistUntil recently, Zvi Luria was a healthy man in his seventies, an engineer living in Tel Aviv with his wife, Dina, visiting with their two children whenever possible. Now he is showing signs of early dementia, and his work on the tunnels of the Trans-Israel Highway is no longer possible. To keep his mind sharp, Zvi decides to take a job as the unpaid assistant to Asael Maimoni, a young engineer involved in a secret military project: a road to be built inside the massive Ramon Crater in the northern Negev Desert.The challenge of the road, however, is compounded by strange circumstances. Living secretly on the proposed route, amid ancient Nabatean ruins, is a Palestinian family under the protection of an enigmatic archaeological preservationist. Zvi rises to the occasion, proposing a tunnel that would not dislodge the family. But when his wife falls sick, circumstances begin to spiral . . .Wry, wistful, and a tour de force of vital social commentary, this is “a fabulous portrayal of a long marriage . . . a novel so intimate and vivid that past and present and future merge in ways that generate surprise and delight” (The Arts Fuse).“The Tunnel — translated smoothly from the Hebrew by Stuart Schoffman—is about how one couple copes with the initial news that from now on, everything is going to be different.” —The New York Times Book Review
The Tunnel of Love: A Novel
by Peter De VriesA comic novel of ambition and infidelity in the suburbs by &“the funniest serious writer to be found either side of the Atlantic&” (Kinglsey Amis). Harking from the golden age of fiction that skewered the middle-class American dream—the school of John Updike and John Cheever—this novel by the author of Slouching Towards Kalamazoo looks with laughter upon the lawns, cocktails, and creature comforts of suburbia, as well as the antics and anxieties that lurk just beneath its manicured facade. De Vries&’s classic situation comedy The Tunnel of Love follows the interactions of a socially insecure, pun-loving family man, an officious lady caseworker from an adoption agency, and a chauvinist pig—all of whom are neighbors who know far too much about one another&’s private lives. In this farcical tale of marital quibbles, De Vries employs his verbal fluidity and singular gift for wordplay to offer readers &“his Scarlet Letter, in which adultery leads not to a consciousness of sin and repentance but to a neurotic guilt and the delicious enjoyment it affords&” (D.G. Myers, from the introduction).
The Tunnel of Love: A Novel
by Peter De VriesHarking from the golden age of fiction set in American suburbia--the school of John Updike and Cheever--this work from the great American humorist Peter De Vries looks with laughter upon its lawns, its cocktails, and its slightly unreal feeling of comfort. De Vries’s classic situation comedy The Tunnel of Love follows the interactions of a socially insecure, pun-loving family man, an officious lady caseworker from an adoption agency, and a chauvinist pig--all suburban neighbors who know far too much about one another’s private lives in this goofy and gently hilarious tale of marital quibbles. Noted as much for his verbal fluidity and wordplay as for his ability to see humor through pain, De Vries will delight both new readers and old in this uproarious modern masterpiece.

It’s going to be hard for Stephanie to keep her hands off all that ice cream, and even harder for her to keep her hands off Ranger.

Turmoilin
by Jan DrabekTurmoilin is a satire on many levels – it deals with the post-Communist world, Africa, diplomacy, but above all with human relationships. A North American umbrella salesman with Czech roots returns to Prague to teach English at the Czech Ministry of Foreign Affairs and finds himself appointed Ambassador of the Czech Republic to an African country called Turmoilin. Accompanying him to his new post is his glib wife Ginny, who helps him out of numerous scrapes. Along the way, our hero must deal with many problems, such as his inability to grasp the fundamentals of the secret code and the strange ways of his mysterious neighbors. Among the characters he meets are the outspoken hard-line conservative black U.S. ambassador to Turmoilin and a senile papal nuncio who keeps mistaking him for a Romanian soil erosion expert. Amongst problems he also must deal with is the separation of his country into The Czech Republic and Slovakia; also with his first secretary who causes a diplomatic incident by copulating in the tall grass of another embassy.

Turns Out, I'm Fine: How Not To Fall Apart
by Judith LucyWhen the relationship Judith Lucy thought was The One broke down, her world fell apart. Not only was she single again and about to turn fifty but now that she didn&’t have a partner to buy gourmet sausages with at Farmers' Markets, she realised how much her relationship had enabled her to avoid dealing with: everything from her brother&’s death to her doubts about doing comedy in an increasingly serious world situation. Why was she so floored? Did all these problems have something in common? Judith went back to the start to try and work that out. In her most candid and insightful book yet, Judith looks at her family and relationships to understand how despite being a feminist, her hopes and expectations have been shaped by men – whether it was thinking that she needed Mr Right to 'complete her' or struggling for male approval in most aspects of her life, including her work. Having diagnosed the disease, Judith sets about healing. She explores other ways to get outside herself and make the most of the time she has left – community, volunteering, climate action and the natural world. And although things will doubtless keep going wrong (like covid!), it turns out … she&’s fine.
