National Bestseller Winner of the Brooklyn Public Library Literary Prize for Fiction Shortlisted for the Governor General's Award for Fiction Shortlisted for the Reading Women Award “This amazing, sad, shocking, but touching novel, based on a real-life event, could be right out of The Handmaid's Tale.” --Margaret Atwood, on Twitter "Scorching . . . Women Talking is a wry, freewheeling novel of ideas that touches on the nature of evil, questions of free will, collective responsibility, cultural determinism, and, above all, forgiveness." --New York Times Book Review, Editor's Choice One evening, eight Mennonite women climb into a hay loft to conduct a secret meeting. For the past two years, each of these women, and more than a hundred other girls in their colony, has been repeatedly violated in the night by demons coming to punish them for their sins. Now that the women have learned they were in fact drugged and attacked by a group of men from their own community, they are determined to protect themselves and their daughters from future harm. While the men of the colony are off in the city, attempting to raise enough money to bail out the rapists and bring them home, these women-all illiterate, without any knowledge of the world outside their community and unable even to speak the language of the country they live in-have very little time to make a choice: Should they stay in the only world they've ever known or should they dare to escape? Based on real events and told through the “minutes” of the women's all-female symposium, Toews's masterful novel uses wry, politically engaged humor to relate this tale of women claiming their own power to decide.

A Novel

INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER The #1 New York Times bestselling author of It Ends with Us—whose writing is “emotionally wrenching and utterly original” (Sara Shepard, New York Times bestselling author of the Pretty Little Liars series)—delivers a tour de force novel about a troubled marriage and the one old forgotten promise that might be able to save it. Quinn and Graham’s perfect love is threatened by their imperfect marriage. The memories, mistakes, and secrets that they have built up over the years are now tearing them apart. The one thing that could save them might also be the very thing that pushes their marriage beyond the point of repair. All Your Perfects is a profound novel about a damaged couple whose potential future hinges on promises made in the past. This is a heartbreaking page-turner that asks: Can a resounding love with a perfect beginning survive a lifetime between two imperfect people?

"Saints love to hate sinners, and sinners love knowing that the saints are all secretly sinning too." Kallum Lieberman is an ex-boyband member now known exclusively for hooking up with bridesmaids at weddings. He's even considered a lucky charm: he's such a fail-safe one-before-you-find-the-one that people have started seeking him out. Winnie Baker's reputation is the exact opposite: she married her childhood sweetheart and became a star of many popular - although very reserved - Hope Channel movies, while still avoiding the downfalls of adolescent fame. Except neither of them want these lives anymore. And what better way to change their reputations and bring them both back into the spotlight than to star in a steamier-than-steamy Christmas movie, filming in none other than Christmas Notch, the cute, cosy town where it's Christmas everyday? But Winnie can't act a pleasure on screen she's never experienced in real life. When she decides some pleasure 'research' - purely for science and artistic authenticity, of course - is the only course of action, she realises there's no better research partner than every bridesmaid's favourite, Kallum himself. But suddenly Kallum's teenage crush on Winnie is bubbling to the surface, and he's struggling to keep this 'research' purely professional... They say opposites attract, but is this holly jolly ever after really ready for its close-up? EVERYBODY LOVED A MERRY LITTLE MEET CUTE 'Funny and saucy, this certainly puts the X-rated into Xmas' Heat 'The audacity of this magical author duo to sneak in and steal Christmas in the sexiest way possible . . . the charming holiday romp you absolutely need in your life!' TESSA BAILEY 'The holiday romcom of my dreams! Sexy, progressive, hilarious, and full of good cheer' HELEN HOANG 'A merry little masterpiece . . . this is a read for those who want a winter romcom but with some X-rated antics' Metro 'The holiday rom-com of your dreams!'

Brand new book! Full collection of Diego Rivera’s murals with beautiful pictures and history. 

Mammoth Hardcover (8 to 10 lbs)

Un auténtico héroe popular en América Latina y el artista más importante de México, junto a su esposa, la pintora Frida Kahlo, Diego Rivera (1886-1957) tuvo una vida apasionada dedicada al arte y el comunismo. Tras pasar unos años (en la década de 1910) en Europa, donde se rodeó de otros creadores y abrazó el movimiento Cubista, regresó a México y comenzó a pintar los murales a gran escala que le hicieron famoso. En ellos abordó temas sociales y políticos relacionados con la clase trabajadora, ganándose un estatus profético entre los campesinos de su país. Fue invitado a crear piezas en el extranjero, especialmente en Estados Unidos, donde provocó controversia al retratar a Lenin en un mural para el Rockefeller Center de Nueva York (que fue destruido antes de que se terminara). La obra más notable de Rivera es su Detroit Industry (Industria de Detroit) de 1932, un grupo de 27 frescos en el Detroit Institute of Art en Michigan. Este volumen presenta numerosos detalles a gran escala de los murales, permitiendo que sus diversos componentes y sutilezas sean examinados de cerca. Además de los estos, se incluye una gran selección de pinturas, fotografías de época, documentos y dibujos de colecciones públicas y privadas de todo el mundo, muchos de los cuales eran hasta ahora desconocidos para los estudiosos y cuya inclusión ha sido posible gracias a la más intensa investigación realizada sobre el trabajo de Rivera desde su muerte. Los textos incluyen una biografía ilustrada y ensayos de destacados historiadores del arte que ofrecen interpretaciones de cada mural. No se puede pedir un estudio más completo de la obra de Rivera. Finalmente su trabajo tiene la retrospectiva que merece.
