'BEAUTIFUL' Jodi Picoult, 'UPLIFTING' i, 'BRILLIANT' Daily Mail, 'AMAZING' Joanna Cannon, 'ABSORBING' New York Times, 'THOUGHT-PROVOKING' Independent
Nora's life has been going from bad to worse. Then at the stroke of midnight on her last day on earth she finds herself transported to a library. There she is given the chance to undo her regrets and try out each of the other lives she might have lived. Which raises the ultimate question: with infinite choices, what is the best way to live?
À trente-cinq ans, Nora Seeds a l'impression d'avoir tout raté. Lorsqu'elle se retrouve un soir dans la mystérieuse Bibliothèque de Minuit, c'est sa dernière chance de reprendre en main son destin. Si elle avait fait d'autres choix, que se serait-il passé ?
Avec l'aide d'une amie bibliophile, elle n'a qu'à prendre des livres dans les rayonnages, tourner les pages et corriger ses erreurs pour inventer la vie parfaite. Pourtant, les choses ne se déroulent pas comme elle l'imaginait.
Avant que minuit sonne, pourra-t-elle répondre à l'énigme la plus importante : qu'est-ce qu'une vie heureuse ? « Une lecture étonnante, pleine de chaleur et d'humour, et un éloge vibrant du pouvoir qu'ont les livres de changer le cours de nos vies. »Sunday Times

HOW MANY LIFETIMES DOES IT TAKE TO LEARN HOW TO LIVE?
Tom Hazard has a dangerous secret. He may look like an ordinary 41-year-old history teacher, but he’s been alive for centuries. From Elizabethan England to Jazz-Age Paris, from New York to the South Seas, Tom has seen it all. As long as he keeps changing his identity, he can stay one step ahead of his past – and stay alive. The only thing he must not do is fall in love.
But what if the one thing he can't have just happens to be the one thing that might save him?
À 24 ans, souffrant d'anxiété et de dépression, au cours d'un séjour en Espagne, Matt Haig s'est retrouvé au bord d'une falaise, les pieds à moitié dans le vide, sur le point de se précipiter... Rester en vie... cela paraît si difficile à celles et ceux qui sont au fond de l'abîme, qui ne voient poindre aucune lueur.

The world is messing with our minds.
Rates of stress and anxiety are rising. A fast, nervous planet is creating fast and nervous lives. We are more connected, yet feel more alone. And we are encouraged to worry about everything from world politics to our body mass index.
– How can we stay sane on a planet that makes us mad?
– How do we stay human in a technological world?
– How do we feel happy when we are encouraged to be anxious?
After experiencing years of anxiety and panic attacks, these questions became urgent matters of life and death for Matt Haig. And he began to look for the link between what he felt and the world around him. Notes on a Nervous Planet is a personal and vital look at how to feel happy, human and whole in the twenty-first century.
OR IS THERE?
After an 'incident' one wet Friday night where Professor Andrew Martin is found walking naked through the streets of Cambridge, he is not feeling quite himself. Food sickens him. Clothes confound him. Even his loving wife and teenage son are repulsive to him. He feels lost amongst a crazy alien species and hates everyone on the planet. Everyone, that is, except Newton, and he's a dog.
What could possibly make someone change their mind about the human race. . . ?
'Profound, witty and uplifting' Observer
'Full of eloquent, cogent and positive reminders of the beauty of life' Independent

WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO FEEL TRULY ALIVE?
Aged 24, Matt Haig's world caved in. He could see no way to go on living. This is the true story of how he came through crisis, triumphed over an illness that almost destroyed him and learned to live again.
A moving, funny and joyous exploration of how to live better, love better and feel more alive, Reasons to Stay Alive is more than a memoir. It is a book about making the most of your time on earth.
'I wrote this book because the oldest clichés remain the truest. Time heals. The bottom of the valley never provides the clearest view. The tunnel does have light at the end of it, even if we haven't been able to see it . . . Words, just sometimes, really can set you free.'

Meet the Hunter family: Adam, Kate, and their children Hal and Charlotte. And Prince, their Labrador.
Prince is an earnest young dog, striving hard to live up to the tenets of the Labrador Pact (Remain Loyal to Your Human Masters, Serve and Protect Your Family at Any Cost). Other dogs, led by the Springer Spaniels, have revolted. As things in the Hunter family begin to go badly awry – marital breakdown, rowdy teenage parties, attempted suicide – Prince’s responsibilities threaten to overwhelm him and he is forced to break the Labrador Pact and take desperate action to save his Family.
Audrey’s father taught her that to stay human in the modern world, she had to build a moat around herself; a moat of books and music, philosophy and dreams. A moat that makes Audrey different from the echoes: sophisticated, emotionless machines, built to resemble humans and to work for human masters.
Daniel is an echo – but he’s not like the others. He feels a connection with Audrey; a feeling Daniel knows he was never designed to have, and cannot explain. And when Audrey is placed in terrible danger, he’s determined to save her.
ECHO BOY is a powerful story about love, loss and what makes us truly human.
Wenn Liebe die Zeit besiegt
Seit kurzem lebt Tom Hazard wieder in London, wo er die faszinierende Camille kennenlernt. Auf Anhieb fühlt er sich zu ihr hingezogen. Doch er trägt ein Geheimnis in sich, von dem niemand etwas wissen darf: Tom sieht aus wie 40, in Wirklichkeit aber ist er schon über 400 Jahre alt. Er hat die Elisabethanische Ära in England, die Expeditionen von Captain Cook in der Südsee, das Paris der 20er-Jahre erlebt und regelmäßig eine neue Identität angenommen. Eins war er dabei über die Jahrhunderte hinweg immer: einsam. Während er Camille nun näherkommt, verändert sich für ihn alles.
