Texas, 1943. Eva har altid drømt om at flyve, og med nazisternes hærgen i Europa, får de kvindelige piloter endelig en chance. Kvinderne danner stærke bånd, og med luft under vingerne og en mand, hun elsker, at vende tilbage til, er hver tur i luften en drøm, indtil det hele styrter i grus – og Evas fly styrter ned. Eva vågner, men hendes minder om uheldet er borte.Los Angeles, 1977. Eva er en helt almindelig husmor, gift med sit livs kærlighed og med en familie at være stolt af. Alligevel hjemsøges hun stadig af den nat for over 30 år siden, og en ulykke, hun ikke kan huske. Hvorfor har hendes søster-piloter aldrig svaret på hendes breve? Har hun gjort noget, der var så utilgiveligt, at alle hendes gamle venner brød med hende? Og hvad skete der i virkeligheden, den nat hendes fly forulykkede?Ella Carey har udgivet en lang række bestsellere, og hendes bøger er oversat til mange sprog. Hendes romaner tager ofte udgangspunkt i virkelige hændelser eller i historiske begivenheder.

Gennem mere end 10 år har forfatteren Robert Zola Christensen rejst i hælene på den kendte danske klimaforsker Sebastian H. Mernild. Sammen har de to været på ekspedition til nogle af verdens mest fjerne egne for at dokumentere, hvad det forandrende klima gør ved vores klode. For der hersker ingen tvivl. Klimaet er under enorme forandringer. Der bliver målt stigende vandstande mange steder, det er blevet varmere, og isen smelter på polerne. Konsekvenserne er enorme.I Da kulden forsvandt tager Sebastian H.  Mernild og Robert Zola Christensen os med ud på Indlandsisen for at bore efter is i flere kilometers dybde, vi er fanget i en snestorm højt oppe i Andesbjergene, og så møder vi de mennesker, der må forlade deres hjem, fordi klimaet tvinger dem væk.Bogen er en barsk og samtidig livsbekræftende reportagerejse til klimafronten, hvor to venner – naturvidenskabsmanden og humanisten – dokumenterer den brutale og uundgåelige udvikling, vi alle er vidne til, og sammen reflekterer de to over, hvad der skal til for at fylde fremtiden med håb.

Dallas Stovall havde ikke forestillet sig, at skæbnen ville føre hende hjem, men da hun pludselig stod tilbage uden en krone på lommen, gravid og med en eksmand i fængsel, var der kun et sted at tage hen: Poplar Falls.Nu, seks år senere, har Dallas én vigtig livsmission: at være en god mor for sin søn, Beau. Om det så er på bekostning af hende selv – eller for den sags skyld hendes kærlighedsliv. Hvad skal man også bruge mænd til, når man har en kærlig familie? Og ikke mindst venner som Myer Wilson. Myer, som altid står klar med en hjælpende hånd, uanset om Beau har slæbt endnu et ”kæledyr” med hjem, eller trucken igen har givet op på livet.Det kan godt ske, at Dallas har lagt mænd på hylden, så hun kan være der for sin søn – men hvorfor er det så svært at få Myer ud af hovedet? Hvad nu hvis Myer er en ny chance, som kan hjælpe Dallas med at lade fortid være fortid? Hvis ikke den når at indhente hende først.Kolde Hjerter er den anden, fritstående bog i Poplar Falls-serien om den lille by, hvor hjerter tabes, og følelser blomstrer.

Kvinderne i Bodine Longbows familie har i generationer drevet et resort i det stille, naturskønne Montana. Men idyllen brydes brat, da en ung kvindes lig bliver fundet, og en frygt spreder sig gennem lokalsamfundet.Kort efter dukker en dybt traumatiseret kvinde op ud af det blå. Hun viser sig at være Bodines moster Alice, der forsvandt sporløst for 25 år siden.Har mordene noget med Alices mystiske forsvinden at gøre? Hvem iblandt dem er i stand til den slags ondskab?Samtidig er Bodines teenagecrush, Callen, tilbage i byen og gamle, uafklarede følelser vokser frem, mens de to i fællesskab forsøger at afdække sandheden – før morderen slår til igen ...Når solen går ned er endnu en stemningsfyldt, romantisk spændingsroman af bestsellerforfatteren Nora Roberts. “Det, der gør denne roman så fængslende, er Roberts’ evne til at fylde sin fortælling med et rigt detaljeret familieliv, sydende romantik og spænding.” – Publishers Weekly“I Når solen går ned er handlingen dybere, mysteriet har flere lag, og med Alice rammer Roberts et nyt niveau, når hun udforsker fysiske og psykiske traumer og familiens og kærlighedens kraftfulde, helende kraft. Roberts bevæger sig som forfatter ud i mere komplekst og mørkere land med fantastisk effekt.” – Kirkus Reviews“Når solen går ned er indbegrebet af Nora Roberts med sin jordbundne heltinde, en medrivende handling krydret med hverdagsliv og sine lige dele nervepirrende spænding og sexet romantik.” – Booklist

Vil man overhovedet sætte et barn i verden, hvis denne verden er uden fremtid? Bærer selve ideen om kernefamilien en stor del af ansvaret for verdens udarmede forfatning? Og findes der andre samlivsformer og fællesskaber, der muliggør en smukkere og mere bæredygtig fortsættelse af menneskeslægten?

"Nestled behind a leafy courtyard in San Francisco's Mission District, with the warm glow of lanterns illuminating well-worn wood counters, Rintaro is a beautiful escape; familiar and unexpected, bold and restrained. And its food is straightforwardly delicious: dashimaki tamago, juicy and piping hot, pork gyoza, each dumpling held together by a web of crispy batter, udon with hand-rolled noodles and a hot-spring egg, and a towering melon parfait with bright melon jellies that all but burst in your mouth. This is food that tastes both like Japan and California -- not fusion food -- but the food that you'd expect if the Bay Area were a region of Japan. Rintaro, the debut cookbook from this groundbreaking restaurant, translates the experience of a Tokyo izakaya to the home kitchen. Beautiful and idiosyncratic, Rintaro is both a master class in making homemade udon noodles, and plumbs the depths of true comfort in food, with recipes like its curry rice. With over 70 recipes showcasing inspiration and detailed instruction in equal measure, Rintaro is a book for anyone who loves Japanese food, from the curious novice to expats craving the tastes of home. It is a book that blends careful mastery with the pure delight of making the tastiest food, it encourages you to find the beauty in your own terroir and the heart in your own cooking." --
