Story
Als der elfjährige Lev über Wochen ans Bett gefesselt ist, wird ausgerechnet die schlaue, aber von allen gemiedene Kato geschickt, um ihm die Hausaufgaben zu bringen. Zwischen dem ungleichen Paar entsteht eine unverbrüchliche Verbindung, die den beiden Heranwachsenden im kommunistischen Vielvölkerstaat Rumänien Halt bietet. Ein halbes Leben später läuft Lev noch immer die Pfade ihrer Kindheit ab, während Kato schon vor Jahren in den Westen aufgebrochen ist. Geblieben sind Lev nur ihre gezeichneten Postkarten aus ganz Europa. Bis ihn eines Tages eine Karte aus Zürich erreicht, darauf nur ein einziger Satz: "Wann kommst du?"

Story
When you're as big and rough as Jack Reacher - and you have a badly-set, freshly-busted nose, patched with silver duct tape - it isn't easy to hitch a ride. But Reacher has some unfinished business in Virginia, so he doesn't quit. And at last, he's picked up by three strangers - two men and a woman. But within minutes it becomes clear they're all lying about everything - and then they run into a police roadblock on the highway.

Alentejo Blue is the story of the Portuguese village of Mamarrosa told through the lives of those who live there and those who are passing through: men and women, children and old people, locals, tourists, and expatriates. An old man reflects on his long and troubled life in this beautiful and seemingly tranquil setting, and anticipates the return of Marco Afonso Rodrigues, the prodigal son of the village and a symbol of this now fast-changing world.

Story
Ruth Patchett never thought of herself as particularly devilish. Rather the opposite in fact - simply a tall, not terribly attractive woman living a quiet life as a wife and mother in a respectable suburb. But when she discovers that her husband is having a passionate affair with the lovely romantic novelist Mary Fisher, she is so seized by envy that she becomes truly diabolic. Within weeks she has burnt down the family home, collected the insurance, made love to the local drunk and embarked on a course of destruction and revenge.

"La danseuse arrivait, le matin, à sept heures quarante-cinq, gare du Nord. Ensuite le métro jusqu’à la place de Clichy. Le bâtiment du studio Wacker était vétuste. Au rez-de-chaussée, une dizaine de pianos d’occasion, rangés en désordre comme dans un dépôt. Aux étages, une sorte de cantine avec un bar et les studios de danse. Elle prenait des cours avec Boris Kniaseff, un Russe que l’on considérait comme l’un des meilleurs professeurs… Une odeur particulière de vieux bois, de lavande et de sueur."
