Elfride's life has been a sheltered one, spent alone with her father - a parson with high social pretensions - until she meets and falls in love with an inexperienced youth, whose inferior birth prevents their marriage. This tender first love is overshadowed when Elfride is thrown into the company of the fascinating, though sexually immature, Henry Knight.

About a Boy / Nick Hornby. - London : Penguin Books, 2000. - 278 s. ; 20 cm.
(Penguin Fiction)
Will is thirty-six but acts like a teenager. Single, child-free and still feeling cool, he reads the right magazines, goes to the right clubs and knows which trainers to wear. He’s also dicovered a great way to score with women at single parents’ groups, full of available (and grateful) mothers, all waiting for Mr Nice Guy. That’s where he meets Marcus, the oldest twelve-year-old in the world. Marcus is a bit strange: he listens to Joni Mitchell and Mozart, he looks after his Mum and he’s never even owned a pair of trainers. Perhaps if Will can teach Marcus how to be a kid, Marcus can help Will grow up and they can both start to act their age.

(Penguin Classics)
When her family becomes impoverished after a disastrous financial speculation, Agnes Grey determines to find work as a governess in order to contribute to their meagre income and assert her independence. But Agnes’s enthusiasm is swiftly extinguished as she struggles first with the unmanageable Bloomfield children and then with the painful disdain of the haughty Murray family; the only kindness she receives comes from Mr Weston, the sober young curate. Drawing on her own experience, Anne Brontë’s first novel offers a compelling personal perspective on the desperate position of unmarried, educated women for whom becoming a governess was the only respectable career open in Victorian society. This edition also includes Charlotte Brontë’s memoir of her sisters, the "Biographical Notice of Ellis and Acton Bell". Angeline Goreau examines Anne Brontë’s complex relationship with her sisters and her unhappy career as a governess as influences in writing "Agnes Grey".

Brace yourself. Clarkson's back. And he'd like to tell you what he thinks about some of the most awe-inspiring, earth-shatteringly fast and jaw-droppingly cool cars in the world (oh, and a few irredeemable disasters...).

Matters such as: • The prospect of having Terry Wogan as president • Why you'll never see a woman driving a Lexus • The unforeseen consequences of inadequate birth control • Why everyone should spend a weekend with a digger. „Driven to Distraction” is Jeremy Clarkson at full throttle. So buckle up, sit tight and enjoy the ride. You're in for a hell of a lot of laughs.

Emma / Jane Austen. - London : Penguin Books, 2006. - 507, [1] s. ; 18 cm.
(Penguin Red Classic)
She’s beautiful, rich and clever, and has decided she’s perfectly happy with the single life. What Emma does love, however, is interfering in other people’s business (and she is always convinced she’s right). When she ignores the advice of her friend Mr Knightly and insists on matchmaking for her friend Harriet, her carefully laid plans go disastrously wrong. Is Emma so wrapped up in other people’s love lives that she fails to spot happiness when it’s right under her nose? Perhaps, when it comes to affairs of the heart, she can’t control everything at all...

Northanger Abbey / Jane Austen. - London : Penguin Books, 1994. - 235, [1] s. ; 18 cm.
(Penguin Popular Classics)
Catherine Morland, an unremarkable tomboy as a child, is thrown amongst all the 'difficulties and dangers' of Bath at the ripe age of seventeen. Armed with an unworldly charm and a vivid imagination, she must overcome the caprices of elegant society, encountering along the way such characters as the vacuous Mrs Allen, coquettish Isabella and the brash bully John Thorpe. Catherine's invitation to Northanger Abbey, in her eyes a haven of coffins, skeletons and other Gothic devices, does lead to an adventure, though one she didn't expect, and her misjudgement of the ambitious, somewhat villainous General Tilney is not wholly unjustified. However, with the aid of the 'unromantic' hero Henry Tilney, Catherine gradually progresses towards maturity and self-knowledge.

Why do we fall in love with the people we do? Why do we visit our mistakes on our children? What makes life truly beautiful? Set in New England mainly and London partly, "On Beauty" concerns a pair of feuding families - the Belseys and the Kippses - and a clutch of doomed affairs.

Eight years ago, Anne rejected the man she loved because her friends and family persuaded her that he wasn’t rich or important enough.

With her snobbish father and spoiled sister always ready to embarrass her in polite society, and her refusal of Wentworth still fresh in everyone’s mind, Anne wonders if she’ll ever find the courage to follow her heart again.

Rachel's Holiday / Marian Keyes. - London : Penguin Books, 1997. - 625 [2] s. ; 20 cm.
(Penguin Fiction)
‘How did it end up like this? Twenty-seven, unemployed, mistaken for a drug addict, in a treatment centre in the back arse of nowhere, with an empty Valium bottle in my knickers…’ Meet Rachel Walsh. She has a pair of size 8 feet and such a fondness for recreational drugs that her family has forked out the cash for a spell in Cloisters - Dublin’s answer to the Betty Ford Clinic. She’s only agreed to her incarceration because she’s heard that rehab is wall-to-wall jacuzzis, gymnasiums and rock stars going tepid turkey - and it’s about time she had a holiday. But what Rachel doesn’t count on are the toe-curling embarrassments heaped on her by family and group therapy, the dearth of sex, drugs and rock’n’roll - and missing Luke, her ex. What kind of a new start in life is this?

A Short History of Tractors in Ukrainian / Marina Lewycka. - London : Penguin Books, 2005. - [8], 325, [1] s. ; 22 cm.
"Two years after my mother died, my father fell in love with a glamorous blonde Ukrainian divorcee. He was eighty-four and she was thirty six. She exploded into our lives like a fluffy pink grenade, churning up the murky water, bringing to the surface a sludge of sloughed-off memories, giving the family ghosts a kick up the backside." When their recently widowed father announces he plans to remarry, sisters Vera and Nadezhda realize they must put aside a lifetime of feuding in order to save him. His new love is a voluptuous gold-digger from the Ukraine half his age, with a proclivity for green satin underwear and boil-in-the-bag cuisine, who stops at nothing in her single-minded pursuit of the luxurious Western lifestyle she dreams of. But the old man, too, is pursuing his eccentric dreams - and writing a history of tractors in Ukrainian. A wise, tender and deeply funny novel about families, the healing of old wounds, the trials and consolations of old age and - really - about the legacy of Europe's history over the last fifty years.

(Penguin Fiction)
Die-hard romantic Elizabeth has always wanted two things in life - an Italian husband and a lots of rosy-cheeked babies. When she meets fabulously sexy Roberto, she glides down the aisle and dreamily pictures holding their first little bundle of joy. But instead they end up running Roberto’s family business, where Elizabeth finds there’s more to living in Italy than enjoying ice cream in sun-drenched piazzas. She doesn’t need to be fluent in the language to understand that her scheming mother-in-law and Roberto’s beautiful, significant ex are hellbent on destroying her marriage. And when Elizabeth finds herself craving the company of a gorgeous American stranger, she knows her filthy, flirty thoughts about him are totally inappropriate. But there’s no denying he sets her temperature rising… Could it be that Italy is turning Elizabeth’s love of romance into a desire for something far more scandalous and passionate?
