"There's nothing like being told that in three months you'll be dead to make you think about what you really want in life... Jennifer Cole has just been told that she has a rare and terminal blood disorder. She has 90 days to say goodbye to friends and family, and to put her affairs in order. Focusing on the positives (she won't have to go on in a world without Bowie or Maya Angelou; she won't get Alzheimer's or Parkinson's, or teeth that flop out at the mere mention of the word apple), Jennifer realises she only has one real regret to address: the relationships she's lost. So rather than running off to complete a frantic bucket list of exotic experiences in tropical holiday destinations, she chooses to stay put and write a letter each to three people - her overbearing, selfish sister, her jelly-spined, cheating ex-husband, and her charming, unreliable ex-boyfriend - finally telling them the truth. After all, what is the worst that can happen to you when you have nothing left to lose? At first, Jennifer feels cleansed by her catharsis. Liberated, even. Her ex-boyfriend rushes to her side and she even starts to build bridges with her sister Isabelle (that is, once Isabelle's confirmed that Jennifer's condition isn't genetic). But once you start telling the truth, it's hard to stop. And as she'll discover, the truth isn't always as straightforward as it seems."--Publisher description.

La calunnia è come un incendio. Basta una sola scintilla, e rimpiangerai tutta la vita di aver ceduto alla tentazione. Perché il silenzio è d'oro. Ma il gossip può essere mortale. Flintstead-on-Sea è una di quelle cittadine inglesi così piccole, così silenziose, così tremendamente perfette, che le vite dei suoi abitanti sono strette come in una morsa, tra la pioggia incessante e il mare sempre grigio. E per Joanna Critchley, mamma single che vi è appena tornata con il suo bambino, la morsa è ancora più dolorosa: non conosce più nessuno in città, e trova difficile farsi accettare dalle temibili mamme della scuola. È per questo che, quando per caso sente dire da una di loro che la famigerata Sally McGowan, che a dieci anni commise un terribile omicidio e da allora ha vissuto sotto altra identità, si è ritirata proprio a Flintstead, non resiste alla tentazione di usare quell'informazione. È la sera del book club, e, sentendosi ancora una volta esclusa, Joanna butta lì il suo prezioso pettegolezzo. Quella che innescherà è una spirale crescente di sospetto, follia e paura, che ben presto le sfuggirà di mano. E mentre diverse donne vengono accusate, e Jo si sentirà sempre più in colpa per aver diffuso la voce, una verità molto scomoda si farà strada. Una verità pericolosa, sia per lei che per il suo bambino. E Joanna imparerà a sue spese che quando si mettono in giro le voci sbagliate, dopo non si torna indietro.

Kniha Česko navazuje na úspěšné tituly Země, Zvíře a Člověk, které vydal Knižní klub v uplynulých 3 letech, a současně na řadu encyklopedií Universum. Česko je původní encyklopedie, věnovaná českým reáliím. Obsahuje přibližně 8 000 abecedně řazených hesel zahrnujících hlavně medailony 3 500 českých osobností (nebo těch, které se zapsaly do naší historie), dále zde najdeme charakteristiky kolem 2 000 významných českých, moravských a slezských měst a obcí s aktuálními údaji o počtu obyvatel z roku 2005 nebo 2004. Pro tuto oblast je obzvlášť významná i obrazová složka knihy, neboť většina z 2500 fotografií představuje současnou tvář země v srdci Evropy. Důležitou součástí encyklopedie jsou i události, které tvoří naše dějiny. Přidanou hodnotu knihy tvoří 35 syntetických tematických kapitol, které charakterizují celá významná odvětví české reality. Vedle základních textů zahrnují i některá dílčí hesla např. osobností, která jsou pak v abecedním korpusu řešena odkazem. Dále obsahují mapy, tabulky a jiné obohacující doplňky k danému tématu.
