The moment I set my scuffed sneaker on Cadieux Island for College, my fate was sealed, but there’s no way I could have prepared for what was coming.

Josephine began to suspect something was wrong with the crumbling gothic monstrosity next door when its family fled in the middle of the night, the children screaming, the mother crying. They never came back. No family stays at Marwick House for long. No life lingers beyond its blackened windows. No voices drift from its ancient halls. Once, Josephine swore she saw a woman's silhouette pacing through the upstairs room… but that's impossible. No one had been there in a long, long time.

Sophie's world is shattered when disaster bankrupts her family. She's still reeling when she's offered an unexpected solution: Mr. Argenton, a wealthy stranger, has asked for her hand in marriage.

В сборник "Рандеву" английской писательницы Дафны Дюморье (1907–1989) вошли рассказы, написанные в конце 1920-х – начале 1930-х годов и в десятилетие между 1937 и 1947 годом. Как и вся новеллистика Дюморье, эти четырнадцать историй поражают разнообразием сюжетов и жанров. Выдержанный в готической традиции "Эскорт" соседствует с театральными, в духе Чехова, "Примой" и "Прирожденным артистом"; психологический этюд "За закрытой дверью" – с поучительным анекдотом "Оплошность"; своеобразно обыгрывающие форму сказки или притчи "Пресвятая Дева".

Имя Дафны Дюморье (1907–1989) мир узнал в 1938 году, после выхода в свет романа "Ребекка", седьмой по счету книги молодой английской писательницы. Всего же за долгую творческую жизнь она выпустила полтора десятка романов, несколько сборников рассказов (новелл, повестей – в разное время Дюморье по-разному именовала произведения своей малой прозы), а также три пьесы, биографии и книгу о Корнуолле. Сборник рассказов Дафны Дюморье, в 1977 году озаглавленный по знаменитой новелле "Птицы", впервые был опубликован в 1952 году под названием "Яблоня", а в 1953-м – "Поцелуй меня еще раз, незнакомец".

It's 1825, four generations after Berggrund Island's women stood accused of witchcraft under the eye of their priest, now long dead. In his place is Pastor Silas, a widower with two wild young daughters, Beata and Ulrika. The sisters are outcasts: imaginative, oppositional, increasingly obsessed with the lore and legend of the island's dark past and their absent mother, whom their father refuses to speak of. As the girls come of age, and the strictures of the community shift but never wane, their rebellions twist and sharpen

Moving in with the Kings of Aventine was supposed to be simple: get close enough to find out what happened to my sister and get the hell out. Yeah, that's not what happened. Like, at all. Now I'm falling hard for Rock, a golden retriever with the body of a god, and Oscar, the pierced brooder who takes pictures of me when I'm not looking. Even Neo, my bully and stepbrother, isn't off limits because, apparently, my body is a thirsty traitor. Still, there are advantages to having the Kings on my side, especially since I'm now the proud owner of a rage-filled stalker.

1887, the Cornwall coast.
