Skøn og topcharmerende roman af den britiske bestsellerforfatter Jenny Colgan om et storslået gods ved Loch Ness, en usædvanlig butik med bøger og en enlig mor på udkig efter nye eventyr. Zoe vil gerne begynde på en frisk med sin lille fireårige søn – langt fra Londons pulserende liv, sin lillebitte lejlighed til ågerpris og de højrøstede fodboldfans, der underholder ved nattetid. Så da hun pludselig får tilbudt et drømmejob i det skotske højland, slår hun straks til. Hendes lykke er gjort, da hun derudover også tilbydes logi på et ægte gods – dog mod at passe familiens tre børn. Men selvom Skotland er alt, hvad Zoe nogensinde har drømt om – skyfri himmel, frisk bjergluft og idyllisk stilhed – er der alligevel skår i glæden. Godset er storslået, men faldefærdigt, børnene er blevet smidt ud af skolen, og deres far er helt ude i tovene. Hvordan skal det nogensinde lykkes Zoe at skabe et nyt liv med sin lille søn? Vil bøger, bjergluft og naboernes betænksomhed være nok til at give den lille familie en ny begyndelse? Pressen skriver: »Morsom« **** - Femina »Hjertevarm, rørende og fin« - Julies bogblog

Lorna bor på den lilla skotska ön Mure. En fridfull plats, där alla hjälper sina grannar. Men när den lokala läkaren ska gå i pension, finns ingen som vill ta hans plats. Mure är för litet och ligger alldeles för avsides. Långt därifrån i ett överfullt flyktingläger håller Saif på att behandla en pojke som skurit sig illa i handen. Saif är själv flykting, men han är också läkare och precis det Mure behöver. Saif anländer till Mure och välkomnas med öppna armar. Men kommer han att kunna gå vidare trots sina tunga minnen och svåra erfarenheter? Den här sommaren gör Saif sitt bästa för att känna sig som hemma i en ny och obekant miljö, och för Lorna kommer ingenting mer att bli sig likt. En avlägsen kust är en kortroman som utspelar sig på samma plats som serien om Flora och serien om den lilla ön i havet. Men i den här historien är Saif och Lorna huvudpersoner.

Joulunaika on saapunut Mount Polbearnen pikkukylään Cornwallissa. Ystävät ja perheet kokoontuvat yhteen, ruokapöydät notkuvat. Kylän tuuliset kadut on koristeltu kimaltavan kauniiksi, ja kauppojen ikkunoissa hehkuvat houkuttelevat asetelmat. Niin myös Pollyn pienessä leipomossa, josta leviää ulos houkutteleva piparkakkujen ja muiden jouluisten herkkujen tuoksu. Vaikka sesonki pitää Pollyn työn touhussa, järjestää hän silti aikaa mehiläistenhoitajapoikaystävälleen Hucklelle. Polly on onnellinen voidessaan viettää joulua tänä vuonna Hucklen kanssa ja odottaa innolla jouluaaton suloisia yhteisiä hetkiä takan äärellä. Auvoinen ilo muuttuu kuitenkin pian paniikiksi, kun myrsky katkoo kylän yhteyden mantereeseen. Koko kylän asukkaiden on nyt työskenneltävä varmistaakseen, että kaikilla on hyvä joulu.

The New York Times bestselling author of 500 Miles from You tells the hilarious and heartwarming story of twin sisters who set out to London in hopes of leaving their mark on the world, in this "gorgeous, glorious, uplifting" novel (Marian Keyes). They may be twins, but Lizzie and Penny Berry are complete opposites. Penny is the life of the party--loud and outrageous, while quiet and thoughtful Lizzy is often left out of the crowd. The one trait they do share is a longing to do something spectacular with their lives, and as far as these two are concerned, there's no better place to make their dreams come true than London. Presented with a once-in-a-lifetime house-sit at their grandmother's home in a very desirable London neighborhood, it finally seems like Lizzie and Penny are a step closer to the exciting cosmopolitan life they've always wanted. But the more time they spend in the big city, they quickly discover it's nothing like they expected. They may have to dream new dreams...but are they up to the challenge?

Tag med Flora MacKenzie tilbage til den lille skotske ø Mure, der ved juletid er kold, forblæst og fuldstændig vidunderlig. Julen står for døren, og nu skal der hygges med familie og venner foran brændeovnen med en god kop te og en whisky … medmindre man, som Flora, er blevet gravid med sin tidligere chef, Joel, og nu er bange for at fortælle ham det. Julen burde jo være glædens højtid, men vil Joel nu også blive glad for den gode nyhed? Det er også første gang, øens læge Saif skal holde jul på den vindblæste ø langt mod nord. Efter at være flygtet fra Syrien er han nu endelig sammen med sine to sønner igen – dog uden sin kone, der stadig er meldt savnet. Vil det mon nogensinde lykkes den lille familie at opnå lykke og en smule julefred? Pressen skriver: »Den helt perfekte sammensætning af drama, humor og kærlighed« – Bogblogger.dk

Queen of Christmas and Sunday Times top 5 bestselling author Jenny Colgan's slice of festive delight will warm your heart this winter

Julen är en tid för att mysa framför brasan och kanske njuta av en skotsk sirapskaka med hutt - om du inte råkat bli gravid med din före detta chef förstås, och inte vet hur du ska berätta det för honom. Kommer Flora kunna samla modet och avslöja sanningen för sina nära och kära? Och kommer hennes pojkvän Joel glädja sig åt nyheterna - eller kommer den här julen att bli lika grå och kall som högländerna i midvintertid? Samtidigt försöker Saif, läkare och flykting från det krigshärjade Syrien, njuta av sin första västerländska jul tillsammans med sina söner. Hans fru är dock fortfarande saknad och hennes frånvaro påverkar dem alla. Kan familjen finna tröst och glädje ändå? Följ med till ett vackert nordligt hörn av världen, till gemenskapen på Mure, och upplev en höglandsjul du sent kommer att glömma!

Julen på den skotske øya Mure er kald, forblåst og utrolig vakker. Nå er tiden for å kose seg foran peisen med en god kopp te eller kanskje en liten whisky, sammen med de nære og kjære – med mindre man, som Flora, er gravid med den tidligere sjefen sin og redd for å fortelle ham om det. I det som skal være fredens og gledens høytid, vil Joel synes at Flora kommer med godt nytt? I mellomtiden prøver Saif, lege og flyktning fra krigsherjede Syria, å feire sin første jul i Vesten sammen med sønnene, mens kona hans fremdeles er savnet. Er det mulig for den lille familien å finne en form for lykke?«Sjarmerende – en absolutt glede å lese!» Sophie Kinsella«Ingen skriver koselig og avslappende romantikk som Jenny Colgan.» Sunday Express«En smellbongbong!
