Let bestselling author Lindsey Hutchinson transport you back in time to Marshall’s Children’s Home, for this heart-warming and unforgettable tale from the Black Country. The Fitch children are finally safe, after they and their friends were rescued from the grim orphanage Reed House by Minnie and Billy Marshall. Their children’s home Marshall’s is full of love and laughter, and a world away from their terrible ordeal of being sold to Una Reed for five shillings. There are many more children who still need a home, especially in a world where the workhouse is the last option for desperate families, and so Minnie makes it her mission to build Marshall’s into a refuge for all the waifs and strays. But kind hearts can be taken advantage of, and before long, Marshall’s in under attack. Can Minnie and Billy keep their family together and keep all the children safe, or will they be torn apart again? The Queen of the Black Country sagas is back with a heart-warming, unputdownable and unforgettable tale of triumph against the odds. Perfect for fans of Val Wood and Lyn Andrews.

Surmahaigus
Elin on töötanud perearstina kaks aastakümmet. Pea sama kaua on ta olnud abielus Akseliga. Kuid enne Akselit oli Bjørn, kes ilmub ootamatult välja Facebookis ja pöörab kogu elu pea peale. Elin kolib elama oma arstikabinetti, kus kogu päeva marsivad sisse-välja tema patsiendid. Ja kodumaja terrassil istub vihane Aksel, kui ta just ei ole nende lahutatud naabrinaise Groga voodisse läinud.
„Surmahaigus“ on romaan eneseunustamise needusest ja eituse õnnistusest. Selle raamatuga nihutab Nina Lykke meditsiiniteemalise romaani piire. Tema teos on sotsiaalse satiiri ere näide, keskeakriisi ja purunenud abielu meeleolukas „kliiniline ja satiiriline“ analüüs, mille teeb särav arstikitlis peategelane Elin. Nina Lykkel on tänapäevase Jane Austenina imeline võime tüüpilisest universaalsest rumalusest läbi näha ja selle üle ironiseerida. Kirjeldades valge keskklassi elu talumatut kergust, näitab autor meile selle aja rumalust, milles me elame, minetamata sealjuures empaatiavõimet. Kui hea kirjanduse eesmärk on panna lugejat oma ellusuhtumist muutma, siis on Lykke oma „Surmahaigusega“ selle saavutanud.
Nina Lykke (s 1965) debüteeris 2010. aastal kriitikute tunnustuse võitnud novellikoguga. Tema romaan „Oppløsningstendenser“ (2013) pälvis samuti kiitvaid arvustusi. 2016. aastal ilmunud „Nei og atter nei“ sai Lykke läbimurderomaaniks. „Full spredning – en legeroman“ („Surmahaigus“) on Nina Lykke neljas raamat ja selle eest pälvis ta 2019. aastal Norra kirjanduse Brage auhinna
