Een winter in Parijs
Paras is een jong racepaard dat ten westen van Parijs woont. Op een middag duwt ze haar staldeur open en dwaalt ze nieuwsgierig naar het duizelingwekkende Parijs. Ze is verblind en verbijsterd door de geluiden en geuren om haar heen, maar ze is niet bang. Al snel ontmoet ze een Duitse hond, die weet hoe hij zich moet redden zonder de aandacht van achterdochtige Parijzenaars te trekken, twee onstuimige eenden en een eigenzinnige kraai. Ze geniet van het vrije leven met haar nieuwe vrienden in de parken van de stad. Alles verandert wanneer Paras een jongen ontmoet, Étienne. Terwijl het koude kerstweer nadert, bloeit er een onwaarschijnlijke vriendschap op. Maar hoelang kan een kleine jongen een weggelopen paard in Parijs verborgen houden?

Barn Blind
‘Smiley’s achievement is to communiate so successfully the failure of communication. She has anatomised a network of relationships, focusing with almost impossible subtlety on the gaps between people.’Lesley Glaister, The Times ‘Entirely gripping… This book is so alive in its detail that you can practically smell the tack and the straw and hear the animals shifting in their stalls. Jane Smiley’s unobtrusive prose is very good at evoking the bleakness of the heart, but it can also illuminate moments almost beyond articulacy.’Anita Mason, Independent on Sunday

Lucky
From the best-selling, Pulitzer Prize–winning writer, a soaring, soulful novel about a folk musician who rises to fame across our changing timesBefore Jodie Rattler became a star, she was a girl growing up in St. Louis. One day in 1955, when she was just six years old, her uncle Drew took her to the racetrack, where she got lucky—and that roll of two-dollar bills she won has never since left her side. Jodie thrived in the warmth of her extended family, and then—through a combination of hardwork and serendipity—she started a singing career, which catapulted her from St. Louis to New York City, from the English countryside to the tropical beaches of St. Thomas, from Cleveland to Los Angeles, and back again. Jodie comes of age in recording studios, backstage, and on tour, and she tries to hold her own in the wake of Janis Joplin, Joan Baez, Judy Collins, and Joni Mitchell. Yet it feels like something is missing. Could it be true love? Or is that not actually what Jodie is looking for?Full of atmosphere, shot through with longing and exuberance, romance and rock 'n' roll, Lucky is a story of chance and grit and the glitter of real talent, a colorful portrait of one woman's journey in search of herself.
