In this clever and swoonworthy new novel from the New York Times and Sunday Times bestselling author of The Love Hypothesis, lifes moving pieces bring rival chess players together in a match for the heart. Mallory Greenleaf is done with chess. Every move counts nowadays; after the sport led to the destruction of her family four years earlier, Mallorys focus is on her mom, her sisters, and the dead-end job that keeps the lights on. That is, until she begrudgingly agrees to play in one last charity tournament and inadvertently wipes the board with notorious Kingkiller Nolan Sawyer: current world champion and reigning Bad Boy of chess. Nolans loss to an unknown rookie shocks everyone. Whats even more confusing? His desire to cross pawns again. What kind of gambit is Nolan playing? The smart move would be to walk away. Resign. Game over. But Mallorys victory opens the door to sorely needed cash-prizes and despite everything, she cant help feeling drawn to the enigmatic strategist... As she rockets up the ranks, Mallory struggles to keep her family safely separated from the game that wrecked it in the first place. And as her love for the sport she so desperately wanted to hate begins to rekindle, Mallory quickly realizes that the games arent only on the board, the spotlight is brighter than she imagined, and the competition can be fierce (-ly attractive. And intelligent... and infuriating...)This novel is suitable for both young adult and adult audiences.

Una emotiva obra de teatre duna autora cabdal de les lletres catalanes.El Rafael, un home gran amb una afecció cardíaca, i lHermínia, també a linici de la vellesa, shan conegut en una clínica. Al mateix centre hi ha ingressada lAgnes, una jove turmentada per un passat fosc. La quotidianitat de tots tres esta determinada per les visites dels familiars i del personal de lhospital, i les relacions que sestableixen entre ells faciliten la comunicacio; gairebe sense adonar-sen, els passats respectius dels protagonistes afloren, i entre els personatges es van trenant un seguit de vincles que poden resultar guaridors i que obren una escletxa desperança.Publicada lany 2001 i reescrita per a la present edicio, aquesta obra de teatre es un exemple palmari de lenorme traça de lautora per capturar el batec intim dels personatges.

A story of migration, identity and belonging, drawing on the stories of people from Audrey Oslers mixed-heritage family, over three centuries. Whether or not we trace our families from beyond the shores of Britain, we British people deserve a better understanding of our shared past, and opportunities to explore and recognise the complexities and contractions of empire. Careless or wilful amnesia has allowed the British migration narrative to begin in the mid-twentieth century, with migrants from India, Pakistan and the Caribbean forming the foundation of present-day multicultural Britain. A racist fixation means that some twenty-first-century Britons fantasise that people of colour arrived after World War Two, without any link to the country, to exploit the British welfare state and British hospitality.For people of colour the questions, Where are you from? No, where are you really from? often imply more than simple curiosity. They are political questions of identity, since the assumption (naive or aggressive) is that to be British and to belong you must be white. Says Audrey Osler: The British Empire frames and shapes my familys history. Whether born in Britain, like me or my father, or in some other distant British territory, like my mother, we all continue to experience the legacy of this same empire and the impact of its ambitions, politics, and economics. My family story, back to the eighteenth century, across every generation, is one of migration in different directions, over four centuries, journeys prompted by war, study, a global economic crisis, a fresh start, love, and even child abduction. The stories I tell here reveal as much about Britain as they do about the countries of the British Empire. This is not just my history, it elucidates the largely untold history of a nation and of its citizens, both people of colour and white.
