The Cost of Living
Living Autobiography 2Deborah Levy is a most generous writer. What is wonderful about this short, sensual, embattled memoir is that it is not only about the painful landmarks in her life - the end of a marriage , the death of a mother - it is about what it is to be alive. I can't think of any other writer aside from Virginia Woolf who writes better about the liminal, the domestic, the non-event, and what it is to be a woman... This is a little book about a big subject. It is about how to find a new way of living

The Fate of Mary Rose
She was dead even before I became aware of her existence...[large quote, designed up]A child has been abducted from a sleepy Kent village, her face plastered across the media. As the crime unleashes a wave of hysteria, the claustrophobic world of Rowan Anderson and his inscrutable wife begins to disintegrate. Consumed by her macabre fixation, Cressida is determined to save their sickly daughter, Mary Rose, from the same fate - and perhaps even from Rowan himself.With caustic wit and pitch-black brilliance, Caroline Blackwood creates a skin-crawling - and utterly compulsive - story of repressed violence, female rage, and maternal obsession.'One of the greatest, darkest writers who ever lived' Virginia Feito'Caroline Blackwood sits firmly alongside the greats like Shirley Jackson and Patricia Highsmith' Araminta Hall'A devastating investigation of neurosis, hysteria and cruelty' Observer'A winner . . . Guaranteed to disturb' Sunday TimesWith a new introduction by Camilla Grudova

Die Häutungen
»Es gibt Bücher, die liest man, und es gibt Bücher, die man spürt. Dieses hier ist von der zweiten Sorte.« Jarka Kubsova, Autorin von Marschlande Die Häutungen ist ein Fest der Verdammten - zwei Frauen, die vier Jahrhunderte versetzt leben, streben nach der Befreiung aus dem Patriarchat und gehen dafür waghalsige Risiken ein. Sie sind entschlossen, Feuer mit Feuer zu bekämpfen. 1639 sieht sich Deborah Moody gezwungen, England zu verlassen und in die nordamerikanischen Kolonien, in die Nähe von Salem, zu flüchten. Sie trägt ein Geheimnis mit sich, und versteht es, sich aus den patriarchalen Strukturen zu befreien. Mit ihrer Gründung einer von Frauen geführten Kirche geht sie für die männlichen Glaubenshüter ihrer Zeit einen Schritt zu weit. Sie wehrt sich - und wird als die »gefährlichste Frau der Welt« in die Geschichte eingehen. Sommer 2014. Eine junge Spanierin befreit sich aus einer toxischen Beziehung und flieht von Barcelona nach Madrid. Auch sie trägt ein Geheimnis mit sich und die Überzeugung, dass die Apokalypse nah ist. Was verbindet diese beiden Frauen? Ihre sich kreuzenden Geschichten handeln von Hexen und Heilerinnen, von einem frühen und einem späten Feminismus. Mit furioser Erzähllust und einem Sinn für Humor und Horror entführt uns Lucía Lijtmaer in eine Orgie der Rachelust.
