A number 1 bestseller in France and translated into over twenty-five languages, Billie is one of the most beloved French novels to be published in recent years. A brilliant evocation of contemporary Paris and a moving tale of friendship, Anna Gavalda's new novel tells the story of two young people, Billie and Franck, who, as the story opens, are trapped in a gorge in the Cevennes Mountains. Billie begins to tell stories from their lives in order to calm herself and Franck as darkness encroaches. In alternating episodes, the novel moves between recollections of the two characters' childhoods and their dire predicament.Franck's life has been impacted by a childhood spent with a perennially unemployed father who toyed with Christian extremism and a mother aestheticized by antidepressants. A bright kid, Franck's future was menaced at every turn by the bigotry surrounding him. As for Billie, her abiding wish as an adult is to avoid ever having to come into contact with her family again. To escape from her abusive and alcohol-addled family, she was willing to do anything and everything. The wounds have not entirely healed.At the heart of Gavalda's moving story lies a generosity of spirit that will take readers' breath away, and an unshakable belief in the power of art to lift the most fragile among us to new vistas from which they can see futures full of hope, love, and dignity. Billie is a beautifully crafted novel for readers of all ages and from all walks of life that conveys a positive message about overcoming life's trials and tribulations.

Few people have crammed so many lives into one: when your first line of cocaine is aged 16 with Freddie Mercury, where do you go from there?I Don't Take Requests is Fat Tony's breathtakingly candid and outrageous memoir of a life of extremes.

Han kæmper stædigt mod minderne fra sin fortid, og spøgelsernes ustandselige besøg i hans sind. Samtidig forsøger han at holde sin sande natur, sin fortid og sin kæreste hemmelig for de få mennesker, han kalder sine venner. Han savner sin søster, som er den eneste overlevende slægtning, han har - og som han ikke ved, hvordan det er gået i årene efter, han blev nødt til at flygte fra hjemlandet.Masoods anonyme, stille og ubemærkede eksistens bliver sprængt fra hinanden efter en voldsom hadforbrydelse en aften, hvor han skal møde sin kæreste. Han bliver pacificeret, og hans kæreste, som har sine egne ting at kæmpe med, bliver ufrivilligt indhentet af Masoods fortid.Tingene udvikler sig efter overfaldet, og han må indse, at hans sande natur ikke er så hemmeligholdt mere. Uanset om han vil det eller ej, bliver Masood nødt til at konfrontere det, han flygtede fra; både for at komme ud af sin pacificering, og for at redde sit eget og sin kærestes liv ... Hvis han ellers er i stand til at bevæge sig ...- Over ham pulserede et hvidt lys, der kaldte på ham. Det insisterede ikke, men hvis han ville, kunne han svæve op imod det. Var det hans eget valg? Kunne han selv bestemme, hvad han ville? -

Had mig, elsk mig er en rørende ungdomsroman om identitet, seksualitet og hate crime af Tomas Lagermand Lundme. "Bjørn ryster spraydåsen med den sorte maling. Så skriver han med store bogstaver ”BØSSE” på asfalten. Bøsse. Så går han lidt tilbage og betragter sit værk. Det var sådan, det skulle være. Det var sådan her, han skulle gøre det. Han tjekker sin mobil. Nej, der mangler noget. Så skriver han ”JOHAN ER“ foran bøsse. Nu har han gjort, som de sagde, han skulle. Snart er han ligesom dem." Bjørn og Johan går i 9. klasse. Lige inden sommerferien sprang Johan ud som bøsse, og det har Bjørn virkelig svært ved at håndtere. For hvad betyder det for deres venskab, og hvad skal Bjørn stille op med de andre, som hader Johan og ønsker, han bare skal dø?

På vej hjem i toget møder Julian og bedstemor tre fabelagtigt flotte kvinder, klædt ud som havfruer. Deres hår changerer i smukke nuancer og tøjet glimter af perler og pailletter – og kjolerne munder ud i elegante fiskehaler. Julian kan slet ikke holde op med at tænke på dem, og da han kommer hjem, piller hans bedstemors gardin ned og draperer den som en fiskehale om sig. Men synes bedstemor mon, dét er sjovt? En strålende kulørt og kærlig bog om accept. The New York Times skrev: “Dette er Jessica Loves debut-billedbog, og hvert og ét af de valg, hun træffer – den sparsomme tekst; den på én gang dæmpede og livlige farvepalet; fuldfarve opslagene der får både togkupeer og dagligstuer til at virke så store som oceaner – tilfører historien charme, følsomhed og humor … Sammen med Julian lærer læseren, at alle kan være en havfrue: Det eneste, det kræver, er kærlighed og accept, en lille smule fantasi og en stor, brusende hale."
