A warm and uplifting novel about an isolated witch whose opportunity to embrace a quirky new family--and a new love--changes the course of her life. As one of the few witches in Britain, Mika Moon knows she has to hide her magic, keep her head down, and stay away from other witches so their powers don't mingle and draw attention. And as an orphan who lost her parents at a young age and was raised by strangers, she's used to being alone and she follows the rules...with one exception: an online account, where she posts videos pretending to be a witch. She thinks no one will take it seriously. But someone does. An unexpected message arrives, begging her to travel to the remote and mysterious Nowhere House to teach three young witches how to control their magic. It breaks all of the rules, but Mika goes anyway, and is immediately tangled up in the lives and secrets of not only her three charges, but also an absent archaeologist, a retired actor, two long-suffering caretakers, and...Jamie. The handsome and prickly librarian of Nowhere House would do anything to protect the children, and as far as he's concerned, a stranger like Mika is a threat. An irritatingly appealing threat. As Mika begins to find her place at Nowhere House, the thought of belonging somewhere begins to feel like a real possibility. But magic isn't the only danger in the world, and when a threat comes knocking at their door, Mika will need to decide whether to risk everything to protect a found family she didn't know she was looking for....

Los fines de semana, en sótanos y aparcamientos, jóvenes oficinistas se quitan las camisas y pelean entre sí hasta la extenuación. Los lunes regresan a sus despachos con los ojos amoratados, algún diente menos y un sentimiento embriagador de omnipotencia. Estas reuniones clandestinas son parte del plan con el que Tyler Durden, proyeccionista, camarero y oscuro genio anárquico, aspira a vengarse de una sociedad enferma por el consumismo. Una de las novelas contemporáneas más originales, que ha llegado a convertirse en un clásico underground.

A Ilíada é o primeiro livro da literatura europeia e, sob certo ponto de vista, nenhum outro livro que se lhe tenha seguido conseguiu superá-la – nem mesmo a Odisseia. Lida hoje, no século XXI depois de Cristo, a Ilíada mantém inalterada a sua capacidade de comover e de perturbar. As civilizações passam, mas a cultura sobrevive? É nesse sentido que parece apontar a mensagem deste extraordinário poema épico, que decorre durante o décimo ano da guerra de Tróia, tratando da ira, do heroísmo e das aventuras e desventuras de Aquiles (em luta contra Agamémnon), apresentando-nos personagens como Heitor, Eneias, Helena, Ájax e Menelau, bem como episódios que marcam toda a história da nossa civilização. Nas palavras de Frederico Lourenço, é um «canto de sangue e lágrimas, em que os próprios deuses são feridos e os cavalos do maior herói choram». «A Ilíada, primeiro livro da literatura europeia, terá surgido no século VIII a.C., no fim de uma longa tradição épica oral; extraordinário canto de sangue e lágrimas, em que os próprios deuses são feridos e os cavalos do maior herói choram, este poema de guerra em 24 cantos mantém inalterada a sua capacidade esmagadora de comover e perturbar. O título remete imediatamente para Ílio ou Ílion – Tróia – e, embora tivesse sido possível, num poema com 16.000 versos, narrar toda a guerra de Tróia, Homero isola um período de pouco mais de cinquenta dias, já na fase final das hostilidades, do qual nos descreve, em termos de acção efectivamente narrada, catorze dias. Concentra, assim, simbolicamente uma guerra de dez anos em duas semanas. Repetindo a proeza alcançada com a sua magnífica Odisseia, Frederico Lourenço oferece-nos agora a primeira tradução integral portuguesa, em verso, desta obra máxima da literatura mundial.»
