YA rising stars Sarah Crossan and Brian Conaghan join forces to
break readers' hearts in this contemporary story of star-cross'd
lovers. Jess would never have looked twice at Nicu if her friends
hadn't left her in the lurch. Nicu is all big eyes and ill-fitting
clothes, eager as a puppy, even when they're picking up litter in
the park for community service. He's so not her type. Appearances
matter to Jess. She's got a lot to hide. Nicu thinks Jess is
beautiful. His dad brought Nicu and his mum here for a better life,
but now all they talk about is going back home to find Nicu a wife.
The last thing Nicu wants is to get married. He wants to get
educated, do better, stay here in England. But his dad's fists are
the most powerful force in Nicu's life, and in the end, he'll have
to do what his dad wants. As Nicu and Jess get closer, their
secrets come to the surface like bruises. The only safe place they
have is with each other. But they can't be together, forever, and
stay safe - can they? An extraordinary, high-impact, high-emotion
collaboration between two Carnegie honoured rising stars of YA.
Perfect for fans of Patrick Ness, Malorie Blackman, Rainbow Rowell
and John Green. Sarah Crossan received the 2016 CILIP Carnegie
Medal for her astonishing novel One, which also won the YA Book
Prize,CBI Book of the Year Award and the CliPPA Poetry Award. Brian
Conaghan's powerful debut, When Mr Dog Bites, was shortlisted for
the CILIP Carnegie Medal, Peters Book of the Year and CBI Book of
the Year Award.
V januári 1965 Gabriel García Márquez cestoval s rodinou na
dovolenku do Acapulca, keď odrazu dostal nápad. Začul vravu
mestečka Macondo. Už vedel, ako napíše svoj nový román. Vrátil sa
domov, zatvoril sa do pracovne, a keď z nej po osemnástich
mesiacoch vyšiel, v ruke držal 1 300 strán rukopisu a bol šťastný.
Román Sto rokov samoty prvý raz vyšiel v roku 1967, Márquez mal
vtedy 39 rokov a svet si navždy zapamätal jeho meno. Dnes je román
považovaný za jedno z najvýznamnejších diel latinskoamerickej a
svetovej literatúry. Je komponovaný z množstva reálnych aj
fantazijných epizód a rozpráva o pôvabných i krutých príhodách
šiestich generácií rodiny Buendíovcov z fiktívneho mestečka
Macondo.
