The Cazalet Chronicles: Five Novels in One Collection (The Cazalet Chronicles #1)
by Elizabeth Jane HowardFor fans of Downton Abbey: A multigenerational saga of an upper-middle-class British family before, during, and after World War II by a bestselling author. As war clouds gather on England&’s horizon, the Cazalet siblings, along with their wives, children, and servants, prepare to leave London and join their parents at their Sussex estate, Home Place. Thus begins the decades-spanning family saga that has engrossed millions of readers. The Light Years: Hugh, the eldest of the Cazalet siblings, was wounded in France and is haunted by recurring nightmares and the prospect of another war. Edward adores his wife, a former dancer, yet he&’s incapable of remaining faithful. Rupert desires only to fulfill his potential as a painter, but finds that love and art cannot coexist. And devoted daughter Rachel discovers the joys—and limitations—of intimacy with another woman. Marking Time: Narrated primarily through the voices of teenagers Louise, Polly, and Clary, the second novel details the continuing story of their fathers. With the outbreak of war, Edward is determined to do his bit for England. But Hugh, injured in World War I, must sit back and watch other men fight for their country, including his brother Rupert, who enlists and goes missing in action. Confusion: As the world reels in the aftermath of Pearl Harbor, the Cazalets are dealt a tragic blow, and a new generation struggles to find peace with each other, a peace that seems to prove as elusive as it is in the larger world. Casting Off: The war is over, but for the Cazalets—and England—the challenges continue. Against the backdrop of a crumbling empire, the family soldiers on in the wake of disappointment, heartbreak, and tragedy. But the family comes together again as three generations of Cazalets struggle to hold onto Home Place, the beloved Sussex estate that has been their refuge and their heart. All Change: In 1956, the death of eighty-nine-year-old matriarch Kitty &“the Duchy&” Cazalet marks the end of an era—and the commencement of great change for the family. And Home Place, the beloved Sussex estate where the Cazalets have gathered for years, is now a beloved relic that, with its faded wallpaper and leaky roof, has aged along with its occupants. A rich historical read for those who love E. M. Forster, Evelyn Waugh, or Downton Abbey, this is the story of a family &“[rendered] thrillingly three-dimensional by a master craftsman&” (TheSunday Telegraph).

C'è Sempre Spazio per i Cupcake: Sta risolvendo casi un cupcake alla volta
by Bethany LopezUn giorno stavo ballando al ritmo del be-bop, ascoltando la musica nella mia testa mentre mi chiesi se le mie cosce potevano permettersi un cupcake prima di tornare a casa. E senza accorgermene, il mio intero mondo crollò e bruciò. Un tempo mi svegliavo di notte sudando freddo, piangendo perché sognavo che mio marito mi tradiva, o che mi odiava e provava rancore per i miei figli. Mi abbracciava sempre forte e mi diceva che era solo un sogno, che amava me e la nostra famiglia, e che non mi avrebbe mai lasciata. Era un dannato bugiardo. Ora passo le mie giornate a scattare foto di fecce come lui, cercando di essere un modello per le donne sfruttate dai perdenti della nostra città, e le mie serate a essere una madre single di bellissimi gemelli. Ho degli amici fantastici su cui posso sempre contare, e un uomo sexy e misterioso che continua ad apparire quando ho bisogno di lui. Le cose stanno iniziando a mettersi bene. E una cosa è certa… C’è sempre spazio per i cupcake.
