Set in a New York apartment building, Fourteen Days is an irresistibly propulsive novel with an unusual twist: each character in this diverse, eccentric cast of neighbours has been secretly written by a different, major literary voice - from Margaret Atwood and John Grisham to Emma Donoghue and Celeste Ng.
One week into lockdown, the tenants of a run-down apartment building in Manhattan have begun to gather on the rooftop each evening and tell stories. With each passing night, more and more neighbours gather, bringing chairs and milk crates and overturned pails. Gradually the tenants – some of whom have barely spoken to each other before now – become real neighbours.
A dazzling, heartwarming and ultimately surprising narrative, Fourteen Days is an ode to the power of storytelling and human connection.
Includes writing from: Charlie Jane Anders, Margaret Atwood, Jennine Capo Crucet, Pat Cummings, Joseph Cassara, Angie Cruz, Sylvia Day, Emma Donoghue, Dave Eggers, Diana Gabaldon, Tess Gerritsen, John Grisham, Maria Hinojosa, Mira Jacob, Erica Jong, CJ Lyons, Celeste Ng, Tommy Orange, Mary Pope Osborne, Doug Preston, Alice Randall, Caroline Randall, Ishmael Reed, Roxana Robinson, Nelly Rosario, James Shapiro, Hampton Sides, R.L.

From the #1 bestselling author of Little Fires Everywhere, a deeply heart-wrenching novel about the unbreakable love between a mother and child in a society consumed by fear.
Twelve-year-old Bird Gardner lives a quiet existence with his loving but broken father, a former linguist who now shelves books in Harvard's library. He knows not to ask too many questions, stand out too much, stray too far. For a decade, their lives have been governed by laws written to preserve 'American culture' in the wake of years of economic instability and violence. To keep the peace and restore prosperity, the authorities are now allowed to relocate children of dissidents, especially those of Asian origin, and libraries have been forced to remove books seen as unpatriotic - including the work of Bird's mother, Margaret, a Chinese American poet who left the family when he was nine years old.
Bird has grown up disavowing his mother and her poems; he doesn't know her work or what happened to her, and he knows he shouldn't wonder. But when he receives a mysterious letter containing only a cryptic drawing, he is drawn into a quest to find her. His journey will take him through the many folktales she poured into his head as a child, through the ranks of an underground network of librarians, into the lives of the children
who have been taken, and finally to New York, where a new act of defiance may be the beginning of much-needed change.
Our Missing Hearts is an old story made new, of the ways supposedly civilized communities can turn a blind eye to the most searing injustice. It's a story about the power - and limitations - of art to create change in the world, the lessons and legacies we pass onto our children, and how any of us can survive a broken world with our hearts intact.

One of the promises of Brexit was to allow the UK to regain its
legislative sovereignty from the EU. However, after Brexit, UK data
protection law must remain in line with EU standards in order not
to lose the adequacy status that allows personal data to be
transferred from the EU. This circumstance generates tensions
between the EU, which is committed to preserving its digital
sovereignty by ensuring an adequate protection of personal data
even beyond its borders, and the UK’s ambition to become a
champion of the digital economy by adopting an innovative and
pro-business legislation in the digital field. The book analyses
the latest legal and policy developments in this context, focusing
on data protection but also exploring its intersection with other
related regulatory areas, such as artificial intelligence and
online safety. Renowned international experts contextualise current
regulatory trends and policy proposals to understand whether a new
UK model in the field of digital regulation is emerging and to what
extent this will exacerbate existing tensions between the UK and
the EU. The book includes an accessible and detailed analysis of
the major judicial decisions, laws, and current bills offering an
invaluable guide to academics, practitioners, and policymakers
navigating the complex issues of cross-border data protection
post-Brexit.
'Just read it...Outstanding' Matt Haig 'To say I love this book is
an understatement...It moved me to tears' Reese Witherspoon
'Beautifully written, completely charming, and extremely wise on
the subject of adolescence and influence' Nick Hornby Everyone in
Shaker Heights was talking about it that summer: how Isabelle, the
last of the Richardson children, had finally gone around the bend
and burned the house down. In Shaker Heights, a placid, progressive
suburb of Cleveland, everything is meticulously planned - from the
layout of the winding roads, to the colours of the houses, to the
successful lives its residents will go on to lead. And no one
embodies this spirit more than Elena Richardson, whose guiding
principle is playing by the rules. Enter Mia Warren - an enigmatic
artist and single mother- who arrives in this idyllic bubble with
her teenage daughter Pearl, and rents a house from the Richardsons.
Soon Mia and Pearl become more than just tenants: all four
Richardson children are drawn to the mother-daughter pair. But Mia
carries with her a mysterious past, and a disregard for the rules
that threatens to upend this carefully ordered community. When old
family friends attempt to adopt a Chinese-American baby, a custody
battle erupts that dramatically divides the town - and puts Mia and
Elena on opposing sides. Suspicious of Mia and her motives, Elena
is determined to uncover the secrets in Mia's past. But her
obsession will come at an unexpected and devastating cost... What
readers are saying: 'Highly recommended, beautifully written and
thought-provoking' 'An engrossing read' 'Absolutely brilliant'
'Great characters, interesting plot that leaves you desperate to
read more and written beautifully. I loved it and highly recommend
it!'
Bringing together a multidisciplinary group of scholars from around
the world, Netflix’s Chilling Adventures of Sabrina: Hell’s
Under New Management presents perspectives on the television show
that situates it within contemporary discourses of genre, form,
historical place, ideology, and aesthetics. The essays collected by
editors Cori Mathis, Stephanie A. Graves, and Melissa Tyndall
illustrate that the series is not simply interesting in the context
of its status as an extension of Riverdale's narrative or as a
reimagining of the popular 1990s sitcom Sabrina the Teenage Witch.
Instead, with its unique blend of the Gothic, horror, and melodrama
to approach the coming-of-age narrative, the series is a complex,
enduring work and a significant part of the teen television canon.
This thought-provoking essay collection provides multiple entry
points into television studies for scholars and students alike.
