The First Time I Saw You

'Quirky, clever, and original, this will break your heart, but put it back together again' Katie Fforde 'This is a very special book indeed: funny, powerful, heart-wrenching and so poignant' Jo Thomas 'One of my favourites of 2018' Amazon reviewer Fans of Jojo Moyes, Cecilia Ahern and Marian Keyes will love The Songs of Us by Emma Cooper, a laugh-out-loud, funny and heartbreaking novel of love, loss and what it means to be a family. If Melody hadn't run out of de-icer that day, she would never have slipped and banged her head. She wouldn't be left with a condition that makes her sing when she's nervous. And she definitely wouldn't have belted out the Arctic Monkeys' 'I Bet You Look Good on the Dancefloor' in assembly at her son's school. If Dev hadn't taken the kids to the zoo that day, then the accident wouldn't have happened. He wouldn't have left Flynn and Rose without a dad. Or shattered the love of his life's heart. But if they hadn't seen the missing person report that day, they might never have taken the trip to Cornwall. And, in the last place they expected, discovered what it really means to be 'Us'. Readers love The Songs of Us: 'Rarely does a book come along that is as unique and mesmerising as The Songs Of Us' 'Reminiscent of (and in my humble opinion right up there with) Me Before You by Jojo Moyes and Cecilia Ahern's PS I Love You' 'It had me laughing and crying in equal measures' 'The Songs of Us will soften your heart and make you smile' 'Get your hands on a copy now. TRUST ME.' 'This book is something really special, I might even venture to say, perfect' 'I laughed, cried, felt sad and felt heart-warmed in equal measures' 'I could not put it down ... I really do highly recommend this book'

Doch als die Kings auf eine Vermisstenanzeige stoßen, die auf Melodys Mann passt, werden sie mit einer Wahrheit konfrontiert, die ihr Leben komplett auf den Kopf stellt ...

The Alternative Kitchen Garden is an evolving idea of what a kitchen garden could be in the twenty-first century: organic, environmentally sustainable, resilient, and about localizing at least some of our food production. It's also a place not only for learning and practicing growing skills but also for enjoying ourselves and having fun. The Alternative Kitchen Garden is the ideal companion for anyone getting dirt under their fingernails for the first time and full of fascinating ideas and experiments for the adventurous gardener. A self-confessed "cyber geek," Emma documents the transformation of her "ropey old lawn with potholes and brambles" into a fertile and abundant permaculture plot via Internet radio and a popular blog site. Eight years of her postings and stories have been collected in here, illustrated with beautiful color photographs and arranged into easily accessible alphabetical order. The Alternative Kitchen Garden: An A-Z covers subjects as diverse as growing achocha (a forgotten Incan crop) to zucchinis. Emma's style, is light and friendly, yet at the same time informative and based on personal experience--you feel you could actually be sitting in the garden chatting face to face as she shares her knowledge and experience.

An A-Z

The Alternative Kitchen Garden

Az élet egyetlen szívdobbanással kezdődik, és ugyanúgy is ér véget: mindnyájunknak egyéni lüktetése, saját dallama van. Ha Melody kocsijából aznap nem fogy ki a fagyálló, talán nem is csúszik el a jégen, és nem szenved fejsérülést. És nem is fakad dalra a sérülés egyik komplikációjaként, valahányszor feszült lelkiállapotba kerül. Például biztosan nem adja elő az I Bet You Look Good on the Dancefloort az iskolában, a fia szülői értekezletén. Ha Dev aznap nem vitte volna el a gyerekeket az állatkertbe, nem szenvednek balesetet. Flynn és Rose nem maradnak apa nélkül. És Dev élete szerelmének sem törik apró darabokra a szíve. Ha azonban nem akadtak volna rá annak az eltűnt személynek az adatlapjára, talán sosem utaznak el Cornwallba, hogy a legvalószínűtlenebb helyszínen végre megtapasztalhassák, mit is jelent összetartozni. Jojo Moyes, Cecelia Ahern és Marian Keyes rajongói bizonyára Emma Cooper regényét, a Dalban mondom el...-t is örömmel olvassák majd: kacagtatóan szellemes, ugyanakkor szívszorító történet szeretetről, veszteségről és újrakezdésről.

Dalban mondom el

"Nossa vida — não importa o que aconteça entre o início e o fim — começa e termina com uma batida do coração: nosso próprio ritmo, nossa própria música." A vida da heroína de O som do nosso coração, Melody King, não é nada fácil. Afinal, desde que sofreu um acidente e bateu a cabeça, ela adquiriu um estranho distúrbio: ela canta quando está ansiosa. E não só canta — alto, bem alto e às vezes errado —, como dança, faz performances e emenda uma música na outra, com letras sempre relacionadas à situação em questão. Como se isso já não fosse ruim o bastante, Melody está constantemente ansiosa. Seu marido, Dev, desapareceu há onze anos sem deixar rastros, e ela tem dois filhos adolescentes problemáticos: Flynn — que vive se envolvendo em brigas na escola por causa do bullying que sofre — e a caçula Rose — a supergênia e aluna exemplar que não consegue superar o desaparecimento do pai. Apesar da vergonha constante que sentem da mãe — certa vez, ela cantou uma música do Arctic Monkeys na frente dos colegas de turma de Flynn! —, eles são uma família unida e relativamente feliz, até Rose encontrar um relatório no site de pessoas desaparecidas de alguém cuja descrição bate com a do pai. Será que Dev está vivo, afinal? Ou tudo não passou de uma grande coincidência? Melody pode estar muito perto de encontrar as respostas que têm procurado nos últimos onze anos. Mas ainda que a verdade seja libertadora, também pode destruir tudo o que ela construiu. Será que Melody está pronta para isso? O som do nosso coração é uma história emocionante que cativa o leitor desde a primeira página e que agradará fãs de Jojo Moyes, John Green Nicholas Sparks, Brittainy C. Cherry e Carina Rissi. "Inspirador, tocante e absurdamente lindo. Ainda não consegui superar esse livro." – Carina Rissi "Romântico, bem-humorado e emocionante, o livro de Emma Cooper ficará em seu coração por muito tempo." Josie Silver, autora de Um dia em dezembro "Original e inteligente, este livro vai partir seu coração, depois juntar todos os pedaços de volta." — Katie Fforde, autora de Uma pitada de amor
