Everybody's fave agony queen is back - just ask Amy!Haute couture, gorgeous garçons, lush accents, the Eiffel Tower... Paris - c'est magnifique! With her mum's wedding fast approaching, Amy is on a mission to find the perfect bridesmaid dress. And what better place than the fashion capital of the world! She and Clover are on the plane quicker than you can say va-va vroom. But there's trouble in store when they meet a certain Parisian garçon. Ooh-la-la! Hold on to your beret - les filles are on their way.

Unable to bring her questions about boys to her sassy teenage aunt who works as an advice columnist, Amy decides to trust her own counsel when tackling sticky dilemmas about family, friends and romance.

Thirteen-year-old Amy is spending a miserable two weeks on a tiny Irish island with feuding relatives when she and her seventeen-year-old Aunt Clover, with whom she writes an advice column, get sent to Miami, Florida.

Amy’s mom’s wedding is fast approaching — and where better to find the perfect bridesmaid dresses than on a spontaneous trip to Paris? It seems that nobody has time for thirteen-year-old Amy these days! Her boyfriend, Seth, is preoccupied with his mom’s health. Amy’s dad barely knows she exists after her half-sister is born prematurely (thanks so much, Amy, for getting your stepmother to the hospital on time!). And Mom is having meltdowns about her impending wedding. So a whirlwind trip to Paris with Amy’s cool teenage aunt, Clover, couldn’t come at a better time, especially since the school’s French class (and Amy’s beau) happen to be there as well. Now why wouldn’t her boyfriend enjoy having Amy track him down by GPS and surprise him in the City of Light? Hold on to your beret, les filles are on their way!

The instant New York Times bestseller from Chris Cleave—the unforgettable novel about three lives entangled during World War II, told “with dazzling prose, sharp English wit, and compassion…a powerful portrait of war’s effects on those who fight and those left behind” (People, Book of the Week). London, 1939. The day war is declared, Mary North leaves finishing school unfinished, goes straight to the War Office, and signs up. Tom Shaw decides to ignore the war—until he learns his roommate Alistair Heath has unexpectedly enlisted. Then the conflict can no longer be avoided. Young, bright, and brave, Mary is certain she’d be a marvelous spy. When she is—bewilderingly—made a teacher, she finds herself defying prejudice to protect the children her country would rather forget. Tom, meanwhile, finds that he will do anything for Mary. And when Mary and Alistair meet, it is love, as well as war, that will test them in ways they could not have imagined, entangling three lives in violence and passion, friendship, and deception, inexorably shaping their hopes and dreams. The three are drawn into a tragic love triangle and—as war escalates and bombs begin falling—further into a grim world of survival and desperation. Set in London during the years of 1939–1942, when citizens had slim hope of survival, much less victory; and on the strategic island of Malta, which was daily devastated by the Axis barrage, Everyone Brave is Forgiven features little-known history and a perfect wartime love story inspired by the real-life love letters between Chris Cleave’s grandparents. This dazzling novel dares us to understand that, against the great theater of world events, it is the intimate losses, the small battles, the daily human triumphs that change us most.

Anthony Powell’s universally acclaimed epic A Dance to the Music of Time offers a matchless panorama of twentieth-century London. Now, for the first time in decades, readers in the United States can read the books of Dance as they were originally published—as twelve individual novels—but with a twenty-first-century twist: they’re available only as e-books. The ninth volume, The Military Philosophers (1968), takes the series through the end of the war. Nick has found a place, reasonably tolerable by army standards, as an assistant liaison with foreign governments in exile. But like the rest of his countrymen, he is weary of life in uniform and looking ahead to peacetime. Until then, however, the fortunes of war continue to be unpredictable: more names are cruelly added to the bill of mortality, while other old friends and foes prosper. Widmerpool becomes dangerously entranced by the beautiful, fascinating, and vicious Pamela Flitton; and Nick’s old flame Jean Duport makes a surprising reappearance. Elegiac and moving, but never without wit and perception, this volume wraps up Powell’s unsurpassed treatment of England’s finest yet most costly hour. "Anthony Powell is the best living English novelist by far. His admirers are addicts, let us face it, held in thrall by a magician."--ChicagoTribune "A book which creates a world and explores it in depth, which ponders changing relationships and values, which creates brilliantly living and diverse characters and then watches them grow and change in their milieu. . . . Powell's world is as large and as complex as Proust's."--Elizabeth Janeway, New YorkTimes "One of the most important works of fiction since the Second World War. . . . The novel looked, as it began, something like a comedy of manners; then, for a while, like a tragedy of manners; now like a vastly entertaining, deeply melancholy, yet somehow courageous statement about human experience."--Naomi Bliven, New Yorker “The most brilliant and penetrating novelist we have.”--Kingsley Amis
