Eine einsame Hütte in den Weiten Kanadas, atemberaubende Natur und ein heißer Ranger. Die prickelnde Romance von Helen Paris! Ein Jahr Auszeit inmitten der Wildnis West-Kanadas klingt perfekt für Hotelmanagerin Sara. Die Luft ist wie erwartet frisch und rein, doch das Leben ohne Strom und fließend Wasser stellt sie vor ganz neue Herausforderungen und bringt sie oft an ihre Grenzen. Das nächstgelegene Dorf nimmt sie zwar herzlich auf, aber es liegt zwei Stunden Bootsfahrt entfernt. Ihr Nachbar Matt, ein Ranger, ist hingegen gar nicht begeistert von der neuen Gesellschaft.

Ava and her best friend Debs arrive in Paris just as the snow starts to fall. The Eiffel Tower glitters gold, but all Ava can think about is Leo, her no-good, cheating ex. Debs is on a mission to make Ava smile again, and as they tour the Christmas markets, and eat their body weight in pain-au-chocolat, Ava remembers there’s more to life than men... Until they cross paths with sizzling hot, oh-so-mysterious photographer Julien, with his French accent and hazelnut eyes that seem to see right inside her.

Una famiglia del Nord Italia, tra l'inizio di un secolo e l'avvento di un altro. I Sartori, quattro generazioni, dal 1917 al 2012, dal Friuli rurale alla Milano contemporanea, dalle guerre mondiali alla ricostruzione alla globalizzazione, dal lavoro nei campi alle scrivanie delle multinazionali. Romanzo storico e corale, vasto ritratto narrativo del Novecento italiano, forse il primo di uno scrittore sotto i quarant'anni, il racconto dei Sartori affronta il fardello di un'eredità che sembra andata in malora. Se gli errori e le sfortune dei padri ricadono sui figli, come liberarsene?

Only when eventually back in London does he complete the proposal of marriage that was interrupted at the start.
