Vi lever i en tid besatt av fysisk skönhet. Fotografier - hur vi ser ut på bild - har blivit allt viktigare och kommit att uppta allt större plats i vårt medvetande. Vi kommunicerar genom bilder, dejtar genom bilder, följer andras liv och berättar om vårt eget genom bilder. Alla går runt med en kamera i handen. Vi har alla förvandlats till voyeurer, fast det vi betraktar är oss själva. Sexighet har förvandlats en diffus form av status och kompetens. Samtidigt som kvinnlig fysisk skönhet är mer spridd och dyrkad än någonsin, genom miljarder fotografier och selfies, är skönheten hotad, eftersom den approprierats av kapitalismen och gjorts till ett konsumtionsobjekt. Med hjälp av av filosofiska och sociologiska teorier speglar Liv Strömquist vår tids upptagenhet av att vara snygg, och berättar om några kvinnor genom historien vars liv styrts av deras yttre. Gamla Testamentets Rakel, som Josef gifte sig med eftersom hon var vackrare än sin syster. Kejsarinnorna Sisi och Eugénie som tävlade i vem som hade den smalaste midjan och fick hela Europas adelsdamer att följa efter. Snövits mamma som försöker hitta ett sätt att förhålla sig till den fysiska skönhetens förgänglighet. Marilyn Monroe som blev fotograferad naken sex veckor innan sin död, Kim Kardashian som fotograferar sig själv och bysten av drottning Nefertiti som fyller alla som tittar på henne med en känsla av ett gåtfullt, meningslöst begär.

En roman om kärlek, ordentliga verktyg och vikten av att alltid köra Saab Ove är 59. Han kör Saab. Folk kallar honom "bitter" och "grannarnas skräck". Men Ove är fan inte bitter, grymtar han. Han går väl bara inte runt och flinar jämt! Varje morgon tar Ove sin inspektionsrunda i kvarteret. Flyttar cyklar och kontrollerar källsorteringstunnorna. Trots att det är flera år sedan han avsattes som ordförande på bostadsrättsföreningens årsstämma. Eller "den där statskuppen", som Ove själv bara minns den. Men bortom den vresige ordningsmannen finns en historia och en sorg. Så när de nyinflyttade grannarna i radhuset mittemot en novemberdag råkar förstöra Oves brevlåda blir det upptakten på en komisk och hjärtevärmande berättelse om tilltufsade katter, oväntad vänskap och den uråldriga konsten att backa med släp. Som kommer förändra en man och en bostadsrättsförening i grunden. Fredrik Backmans debutroman om den arga äldre mannen i grannhuset präglas av pricksäker humor och hög igenkänningsfaktor. En underhållningsroman som både lyckas skapa sitt eget humoristiska universum och berätta något viktigt om oss själva och vår tid. Det är en underhållande feel good-berättelse i samma anda som Hundraåringen som klev ut genom fönstret och försvann och filmen Livet från den ljusa sidan.

"A thrilling departure: a short, piercing, deeply moving novel about the death of Shakespeare's 11 year old son Hamnet--a name interchangeable with Hamlet in 15th century Britain--and the years leading up to the production of his great play. England, 1580. A young Latin tutor--penniless, bullied by a violent father--falls in love with an extraordinary, eccentric young woman--a wild creature who walks her family's estate with a falcon on her shoulder and is known throughout the countryside for her unusual gifts as a healer. Agnes understands plants and potions better than she does people, but once she settles with her husband on Henley Street in Stratford she becomes a fiercely protective mother and a steadfast, centrifugal force in the life of her young husband, whose gifts as a writer are just beginning to awaken when his beloved young son succumbs to bubonic plague. A luminous portrait of a marriage, a shattering evocation of a family ravaged by grief and loss, and a hypnotic recreation of the story that inspired one of the greatest masterpieces of all time, Hamnet is mesmerizing, seductive, impossible to put down--a magnificent departure from one of our most gifted novelists" -- prové de l'editor.

"Sommarboken" handlar om tre människor som bor på en ö i ett nordligt hav: barnet Sophia, hennes pappa och hennes farmor. Det är mest av allt en bok om vänskapen mellan en mycket gammal kvinna och en mycket liten flicka, som lever inten-sivt nära varandra, omgivna av den dröm om sommaren som endast kan finnas här i norr, en dröm som är så svårfångad att den ständigt förblir stark. Tove Jansson skriver klart och osentimentalt om ålderdom och barndom, hennes sommarbok är även i de allvarliga ögon-blicken stödd på en varm och glad livskänsla.

En höstkväll 1993 står Hedwig Johansson i fönstret och hör skinnhuvudena skandera nedanför på gatan: Sieg Heil! Sieg Heil! Återigen hör hon de röster som för mer än femtio år sedan skrek detsamma, men då på en gata i Mainz i Tyskland. Hedwig förstår att nu är tidpunkten inne att berätta den historia hon så länge burit på, nu när det finns röster som dagligen påminner henne om den tragedi hon bevittnade på så nära håll.Vibeke Olssons roman "Molnfri bombnatt" fick ett stort genomslag hos läsare och kritiker när den utkom första gången 1995. Det är en drabbande skildring av tiden kring och under andra världskriget i Tyskland, en berättelse om kärleken mellan Hedwig och SS-mannen Wilhelm Schurbiegel, om att byta medborgarskap och plötsligt vara främling. Det är också en berättelse om ett Sverige då och nu, en historia som aldrig får upphöra att engagera.
