Djävulsdansen
Djävulsdansen är en passionerad berättelse om familjehemligheter, förbjuden kärlek och kvinnor som pressas till det yttersta. En het sommardag i Strasbourg 1518 börjar en ensam kvinna dansa på torget. Och hon slutar inte, hon dansar i dagar. Fler och fler kvinnor ansluter och snart är de flera hundra. Myndigheterna kallar in musiker för att spela Djävulen ur kvinnorna. En bit utanför staden bor Lisbet med sin man och svärmor där de är verksamma som biodlare. I kölvattnet efter danspesten på stadens gator återvänder Lisbets svägerska Nethe från bergen där han avtjänat ett straff för ett brott som ingen vågar nämna. Lisbet är fast besluten att avslöja Nethes hemlighet. Medan staden rämnar under tusen stampande fötter trasslar hon in sig i ett nät av svek och hemlig passion men det är en dans med farliga steg. KIRAN MILLWOOD HARGRAVE (f.1990) är poet, dramatiker och författare bosatt i Oxford. Hon har skrivit flera bästsäljande YA-böcker som också prisbelönats. Hennes debutroman för vuxna, The Mercies, blev en Sunday Times-bästsäljare och valdes ut i den brittiska radion BBC:s bokklubb.

The Girl of Ink & Stars
A beautifully written story of friendship, discovery, myths, and magic that the London Times called 'reminiscent of fantasy greats such as Philip Pullman and Neil Gaiman.' Legends say that the island of Joya was once a place where songbirds sang in every tree and the islanders were free to come and go as they pleased. That was before the harsh-ruling Governor arrived, and ravens drove out the native birds. Now there are no songbirds, and the people are forbidden to travel beyond the forest that separates them from the rest of the island. But for Isabella, the legends of her island home have always seemed like more than just stories. And when a series of mysterious events shakes the community, it's Isabella--daughter to the island's only mapmaker--who will lead a party of explorers into the forest in search of answers. As the group ventures deeper and deeper into the island, dark secrets begin to surface, and the legends Isabella has listened to all these years show signs of coming to

The Inheritance of Loss
Winner of the Man Booker Prize and the National Book Critics Circle Fiction Award, Kiran Desai's extraordinary novel of love and loss, now reissued with a new introduction by the author Published to astonishing acclaim, The Inheritance of Loss heralds Kiran Desai as one of our most insightful novelists. In a crumbling, isolated house at the foot of Mount Kanchenjunga in the Himalayas, an embittered judge wants only to retire in peace when his orphaned granddaughter, Sai, arrives on his doorstep.
