Krátky popis
The image of the young girl is sideways. Her blue eyes are clouded like they've been submerged in milk. They stare into the lens of the camera and it's as though she's looking directly at me, calling out for help, twenty-three years too late - like the light of a star that's already exploded, finally reaching our eyes.Beth's life hasn't worked out the way she planned. After her father walked out on their family with a note simply saying 'I'm sorry', she became obsessed with finding him. An obsession that destroyed her relationship with her husband and her daughter. She just has her dying mother left, Beth taking care of her as best she can until she breathes her final, shocking words:Your father. He didn't disappear. Don't trust...Still processing these words, Beth receives a surprise call to say her sister has been attacked and rushed to hospital. Soon after, she finds both estranged sister and brother moving back into the family home. She makes sure to lock her bedroom door at night. Her sister can't be trusted.Desperate to revisit happier memories, the siblings find themselves watching home videos of their childhood. It feels like a good idea, until the footage cuts to a dead girl in the woods at night, their father covered in blood, their mother's voice panicked. They'd love to believe it's fake, but they know the little girl in the video. It's their old neighbour, Emma Harper, who vanished in 1999.Burying their mother is already hard enough, but will Beth and her siblings survive the truth of what really happened to that little girl?Read what everyone is saying about Home is Where the Bodies Are:'This book is Jeneva Rose AT HER FINEST.'

Odysseia XIII-XXIV
Slepý Melésigenés s ťažkosťami hľadal prostriedky na živobytie, no na druhej strane si získaval čoraz viac obdivu a sympatií u ľudí, ktorí sa ho snažili povzbudzovať a podporovať. V Kýme na maloázijskom pobreží ho nahovorili, aby požiadal o pomoc mestskú radu a stal sa básnikom mesta na útraty obce. Rada však návrh odmietla s tým, že „homérov“ (slepcov) živiť nebude. Odvtedy ostalo Melésigenovi meno Homéros. Z Kýmy následne odišiel do Fókaie, potom na ostrov Chios, kde sa živil ako učiteľ a básnik. Na Chiu prežil šťastné obdobie života, zložil tu mnoho básní a stal sa známym v celej Hellade. Neskôr cestoval po rôznych krajoch Grécka, zložil eposy Ílias a Odysseia. Svoj život zakončil na ostrove Ios. V druhej polovici Odysseie, ktorá sa k vám v tejto knihe dostáva, Faiáci doplavia Odyssea do vlasti. Po príchode na Ithaku stretáva bohyňu Athénu, ktorá mu radí, aby nešiel hneď do paláca, ale ako žobrák najskôr zistil stav vecí vo svojom kráľovstve, a dodáva, že má pre neho pripravený plán pomsty spupným ženíchom. Odysseus dá na rady bohyne a s odhodlaním sa púšťa do príprav na boj so ženíchmi o svoje postavenie vo vlasti a o svoju rodinu. Medzitým sa z ciest po Sparte a Pyle vracia domov jeho syn Télemachos a Odysseova manželka Pénelopé v paláci statočne odoláva ponukám ženíchom na vydaj. Publikácia obsahuje aj Hérodotov Homérov životopis a druhú časť štúdie Ivana Janeka Homérova Odysseia, ktorá približuje jednotlivé časti eposu.
