A hilarious, straight-talking read for anyone who's ever despaired at the politics of the school run. Maia Etxeleku is a cleaner for ladies who lunch. With mops and buckets in tow, she spends her days dashing from house to house cleaning up after them, as they rush from one exhausting Pilates class to the next. But an unusual inheritance catapults her into the very exclusive world of Stirling Hall School - a place where no child can survive without organic apricots and no woman goes a week without a manicure. As Maia and her children, Bronte and Harley, try to settle into their new life, Maia is inadvertently drawn to the one man who can help her family fit in. But is his interest in her purely professional? And will it win her any favours at the school gate? Previously published as 'The Class Ceiling'.

A volte, se lo decide il destino, il passato e il presente s'intrecciano e riaccendono sentimenti e paure che sembravano cancellati per sempre. Framboise Dartigen aveva solo nove anni quando gli occupanti nazisti arrivarono a Les Laveuses, il paesino sulle rive della Loira dove viveva con la mamma e i fratelli maggiori Cassis e Reinette. In quei giorni sospesi tra la fiaba crudele dell'infanzia e la tragedia della storia accadde qualcosa di terribile. Ora Framboise, che è ormai una donna matura, è tornata a vivere nella vecchia fattoria, ma in incognito. Il segreto di quegli anni lontani non deve assolutamente tornare alla luce.

Conosciuto anche con il pomposo nome di "Treno dei miliardari", il Treno Azzurro unisce nella notte Londra con le spiagge assolate della Costa Azzurra. Sulle sue lussuose carrozze si possono incontrare tutti i protagonisti dell'alta società: miliardari americani, nobili europei, ereditiere e anche investigatori famosi come Hercule Poirot. La presenza di quest'ultimo, tuttavia, per quanto casuale, deve per forza essere colegata qualche dellitto. E infatti, puntualmente, il delitto avviene. La giovane e bella Ruth Kettering, figlia del miliardario Van Aldin e moglie infedele del corrotto lord Kettering, viene ritrovata strangolata nel suo scompartimento e, per di più, senza la preziosa collana di rubini che aveva con sé. Gli indiziati sono numerosi: il marito, suo erede universale; il suo amante, sedicente conte ma in realtà abile truffatore; la sfrenata ballerina Mirelle; il misterioso "Marchese", un imprendibile ladro internazionale. Chi di loro ha compiuto il terribile crimine? La polizia brancola nel buio, ma Poirot riuscirà a individuare una pista...

Nunchi (noon-chee): ‘eye measure’; the subtle art of gauging other people’s thoughts and feelings to build harmony, trust and connection. Ever wondered about that good-not-great colleague who gets promoted ahead of everyone else? No, they’re not sleeping with the boss, they’ve just got great nunchi. Or that friend-of-a-friend you’ve just met but already instinctively like? How about the family member who seems to understand what you need before you’ve worked it out yourself? They’re nunchi ninjas, even if they don’t know it. Nunchi is the guiding principle of Korean life, considered essential for survival, happiness and success. It’s the art of instantly understanding what other people are thinking and feeling, helping you improve your relationships in life. Korean parents believe that teaching their children nunchi is as important as teaching them to cross the road safely. With great nunchi, it feels like the world is on your side. Without it, you might get hit by something you never saw coming. Honing your nunchi can help you find and connect with the right people in everything from love to business, make you shine at work, and reduce your social anxiety. People will take the side of a nunchi master, even when they’re not sure why. And it’s a skill you can learn no matter who you are, where you are, or where you want to go. All you need is what you already have – your eyes and ears. Improve your nunchi, improve your life.
