Ulysse Ducerf va passer le bac. Les maths ne le passionnent guère, mais impossible de se défiler quand on est promis à un brillant avenir : l’École polytechnique puis la reprise, un jour, des cimenteries familiales. Telle est la volonté du père d’Ulysse, mais ce dernier est rattrapé par de graves accusations : 10 ans plus tôt, son entreprise aurait participé à l’effort de guerre allemand. La famille s’installe en Bourgogne, où Ulysse fait la connaissance d’un homme bourru et secret. Le choc est immédiat : Cyrano et la grande cuisine vont bouleverser à jamais la vie d’Ulysse... Ce récit culinaire dans la France des Trente Glorieuses mettra en appétit ses lecteurs tout en posant des questions aussi nécessaires qu’universelles : qu’est-ce que le plaisir ? Où se trouve l’épanouissement... et comment l’atteindre ?

From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo and Daisy Jones & The Six comes an epic new novel set against the backdrop of the 1980s space shuttle program and the extraordinary lengths we go to live and love beyond our limits. Joan Goodwin has been obsessed with the stars for as long as she can remember. Thoughtful and reserved, Joan is content with her life as a professor of physics and astronomy at Rice University and as aunt to her precocious niece, Frances. That is, until she comes across an advertisement seeking the first women scientists to join NASA’s Space Shuttle Program. Suddenly, Joan burns to be one of the few people to go to space. Selected from a pool of thousands of applicants in the summer of 1980, Joan begins training at Houston’s Johnson Space Center, alongside an exceptional group of fellow candidates: Top Gun pilots Hank Redmond and John Griffin, who are kind and easy-going even when the stakes are highest; mission specialist Lydia Danes, who has worked too hard to play nice; warm-hearted Donna Fitzgerald, who is navigating her own secrets; and Vanessa Ford, the magnetic and mysterious aeronautical engineer, who can fix any engine and fly any plane. As the new astronauts become unlikely friends and prepare for their first flights, Joan finds a passion and a love she never imagined. In this new light, Joan begins to question everything she thinks she knows about her place in the observable universe. Then, in December of 1984, on mission STS-LR9, everything changes in an instant. Fast-paced, thrilling, and emotional, Atmosphere is Taylor Jenkins Reid at her best: transporting readers to iconic times and places, with complex protagonists, telling a passionate and soaring story about the transformative power of love, this time among the stars.

Hur hittar vi vår väg i detta hus? Vart ska vi gå, till vem, till vilken sal? Jag, varm och svettig och med samvetskval. Ur Torborg Anneli Furmarks Kattflickan och andra berättelser är en samling serienoveller. I en historia möter vi Ylva och Danne som tappar bort varandra mitt i livet, på en festival. Där, bland kattflickor, tält och havsorkestrar, tar sig känslorna upp till ytan igen. Varför följer det allvarliga barnet med kattsminkat ansikte Ylva vart hon än går? I en annan novell får vi träffa Gerd som är åtta år och ska flytta till Kanada. Hon är inte döpt och livrädd för mylingar. I den tecknade sonetten Torborg ska Gunnel sova sin första natt på det nya hemmet - men någon bor redan i hennes rum och verkar ha gjort det länge. I berättelsen Kung och fosterland strosar Anneli i franska Flandern och känner krigets spöken och fasor in på skinnet. Till sist gör Anneli Furmark en serietolkning av teckningslärarinnan Maja Beskows dagboksanteckningar om ett förbjudet kärleksmöte på järnvägsstationen i Långsele vid förra sekelskiftet. Hon reste i tredje, och jag i andra klass. Och jag måste riktigt slita min hand ur hennes, så hårt höll hon i min då vi skildes. Det förvånade mig, förr var det tvärtom. Jag höll längst i. Ur Maja Beskows dagbok 1912 I fem sällsamma noveller skildrar Anneli Furmark i Kattflickan och andra berättelser stilla uppbrott genom livets alla skeden. Med den känsla för färg, stämning och humor som bara Furmark har berättar hon om det stora i det lilla. Om frukostflingor, skräck, tegelhus och prydnadsföremål - om kärlek, krig och fred. Och om död.
