The most exciting historical retelling of 2023: a subversive, powerful untelling of Romeo and Juliet by New York Times bestselling author Natasha Solomons Was the greatest ever love story a lie? The first time Romeo Montague sees young Rosaline Capulet he falls instantly in love. Rosaline, headstrong and independent, is unsure of Romeo's attentions but with her father determined that she join a convent, this handsome and charming stranger offers her the chance of a different life. Soon though, Rosaline begins to doubt all that Romeo has told her. She breaks off the match, only for Romeo's gaze to turn towards her cousin, thirteen-year-old Juliet. Gradually Rosaline realizes that it is not only Juliet's reputation at stake, but her life .With only hours remaining before she will be banished behind the nunnery walls, will Rosaline save Juliet from her Romeo? Or can this story only ever end one way? Shattering everything we thought we knew about Romeo and Juliet, Fair Rosaline is the spellbinding prequel to Shakespeare's best known tale, which exposes Romeo as a predator with a long history of pursuing much younger girls. Bold, lyrical, and chillingly relevant, Fair Rosaline reveals the dark subtext of the timeless story of star-crossed lovers: it's a feminist revision that will enthrall readers of bestselling literary retellings such as Hamnet by Maggie O'Farrell and Hester by Laurie Lico Albanese. "Irresistible. An excellent spin on a timeless classic." —Jennifer Saint, Sunday Times bestselling author of Ariadne "I have not been able to stop thinking about this book . . . Fair Rosaline is a gripping, spellbinding and wonderfully immersive book - and one that truly makes you think. I would be very surprised if everyone is not talking about it.." —Elodie Harper, Sunday Times bestselling author of The Wolf Den "A brilliant, feminist re-imagining of Romeo and Juliet, Fair Rosaline is a gorgeously written version of Verona from Juliet's cousin, Rosaline's, point of view. What does Romeo truly look like through the eyes of a woman on the periphery of the original story? Natasha Solomons skillfully shows us another version of the star-crossed lovers - and the Romeo --we all think we know. I absolutely devoured this thought-provoking, female-centric take on Shakespeare." — Jillian Cantor, USA Today bestselling author of Beautiful Little Fools

House of Gold

By: Natasha Solomons

THE INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER From the New York Times bestselling author of The House at Tyneford, an epic family saga about a headstrong Austrian heiress who will be forced to choose between the family she's made and the family that made her at the outbreak of World War I. The start of a marriage. The end of a dynasty. It's 1911 and Greta Goldbaum is forced to move from glittering Vienna to damp England to wed Albert, a distant cousin. The Goldbaum family are one of the wealthiest in the world, with palaces across Europe, but as Jews and perpetual outsiders they know that strength lies in family. At first defiant and lonely, slowly Greta softens toward Albert, and as the wild paths and untamed beauty of Greta's new English garden begin to take shape, so too does their love begin to blossom. But World War I looms and even the influential Goldbaums cannot alter its course. For the first time in two hundred years, the family will find itself on opposing sides, and Greta will have to choose: the family she's created, or the one she left behind.

Mr. Rosenblum Dreams in English

A Novel

By: Natasha Solomons

In her tender, sweetly comic debut, Natasha Solomons tells the captivating love story of a Jewish immigrant couple making a new life -- and their wildest dreams -- come true in WWII-era England. At the outset of World War II, Jewish refugees Jack Rosenblum, his wife Sadie, and their baby daughter escape Berlin, bound for London. They are greeted with a pamphlet instructing immigrants how to act like "the English." Jack acquires Savile Row suits and a Jaguar. He buys his marmalade from Fortnum & Mason and learns to list the entire British monarchy back to 913 A.D. He never speaks German, apart from the occasional curse. But the one key item that would make him feel fully British-membership in a golf club-remains elusive. In post-war England, no golf club will admit a Rosenblum. Jack hatches a wild idea: he'll build his own. It's an obsession Sadie does not share, particularly when Jack relocates them to a thatched roof cottage in Dorset to embark on his project. She doesn't want to forget who they are or where they come from. She wants to bake the cakes she used to serve to friends in the old country and reminisce. Now she's stuck in an inhospitable landscape filled with unwelcoming people, watching their bank account shrink as Jack pursues his quixotic dream.

Great Choreographers-Interviews

By: Natasha Hassiotis

In this book, the reader will find some of the most important choreographers, artists who helped to shape the dance scene as it is today, from icon Pina Bausch to still-thriving figures such as Xavier Le Roy, Sasha Waltz, and more. Through this compilation of interviews conducted over the course of twenty years, Natasha Hassiotis aims to show on the one hand the choices made by the audience, the agents, and the festivals, and on the other hand, to show through discussions with choreographers what they have to say about their relation to their art, their audiences, and their dancers. A readable material by specialists and non-specialists alike, this work may help people who think of contemporary dance as a difficult-to-decipher idiom to familiarize themselves with this very old and popular art form.

La viola de Tyneford House

By: Natasha Solomons

Primavera de 1938, Viena ha dejado de ser un lugar apacible tras la llegada al poder de los nazis. La única salida es marcharse, pero no es fácil. Elise Landau lo consigue por medio de un anuncio de trabajo: en la mansión isabelina de Tyneford, en la lejana Inglaterra. Hija de un escritor y de una cantante de ópera, hermana de una virtuosa instrumentista, mimada desde su infancia, Elise tendrá que trabajar de camarera. Ella, que siempre tuvo servicio en casa, no sabe cocinar, ni dar brillo a la plata, ni cera a los suelos, ni servir el té. Tampoco se maneja bien en inglés. En Tyneford se enfrentará a los celos y las envidias, a las humillaciones clasistas, pero también descubrirá el amor. Sus únicos lazos con su hogar son las cartas de su hermana y una viola en la que su padre escondió un manuscrito antes de partir. La guerra se acerca, el mundo está cambiando y Elise también.

Casa Tyneford

By: Natasha Solomons

È la primavera del 1938 quando Elise Landau arriva a Tyneford House, sulla costa del Dorset. È in fuga dall’Austria, e dal nazismo ormai al potere. Tra le stanze in penombra dell’antica dimora inglese, dove prende servizio come cameriera, solo un filo di perle della madre, indossato sotto la divisa, le ricorda la vita scintillante di Vienna, e l’ambiente vivace e mondano della ricca borghesia ebraica cui appartiene. Aggrappata al ricordo, e a un’immagine di se stessa che non c’è più, Elise vaga come uno spettro in una casa dove non ha un posto: a disagio con il resto della servitù, subalterna al padrone, l’affascinante vedovo Christopher Rivers, la giovane donna impara presto a dimenticare il passato, o a nasconderlo. Finché un giorno a Tyneford House giunge Kit, il figlio di Mr Rivers. Tra lui ed Elise sboccia un amore limpido e intenso, e la vita sembra tornare piena di gioia. Ma la guerra sta per raggiungere l’Inghilterra, pronta a spazzare via le certezze di tutti, incurante dei destini dei singoli. Kit viene chiamato al fronte e i due giovani amanti sono costretti a separarsi, senza sapere cosa ne sarà del loro futuro. Perché il mondo come lo conoscevano è sul punto di cambiare irrimediabilmente: ed Elise sarà costretta, per sopravvivere, a cambiare anche lei. A diventare un’altra. Imparando che, nel corso di una vita, si può essere più di una persona. E, forse, si può amare più di una volta.
