123,95 kr. At fifty-something, Rob has reached a twilit crossroads. A recent divorcee, he's fled Houston to settle in St. Petersburg, Florida. Now, peering up at the mockingbird singing in a banyan tree, he wonders whether he could have done things differently.Across the road, The Moon looms. Week after week, as autumn fades into winter into spring, Rob finds himself sat at the cosy bar, watching locals and out-of-towners drift in and out, their spectral lives affording brief glimpses into other worlds.Rob talks and listens-he meets UFO conspiracists, South African ship-builders, aging artists, college students, the ill, the mourning-while, out in the world, Houston is swallowed by floods, the #MeToo movement shakes America, and, beyond the Florida coast, Hurricane Irma grows ever closer.Savoring each fleeting encounter, Rob ponders the changing world and his own place within it. By the time Irma hits, plunging Florida into chaos, he barely recognizes himself-and when the mockingbirds gather once more in the banyan tree, he realizes an even greater change is yet to come.

129,95 kr. It should have been a day to remember: in the meadows beyond the school summer camp, Bobby had his first kiss. But when a slung rock shatters his friend Breck's front teeth, Bobby must be punished… He'll spend the rest of his life trying to forget Assistant Principal Diabolus and the terrible things that happened in that lonely cabin.The years pass in a haze. Diabolus haunts Bobby and his friend Willis like a specter, preying on their bodies when backs are turned. By the time he graduates, Bobby is a shell of the man he might have been; he spends his days and nights stumbling between college bars, his thoughts drifting again and again to suicide.But when Ardee, an old girlfriend on her way home from college, finds Bobby passed out in the street, his journey toward recovery-and revenge-can finally begin.Bobby's Socks is the moving story of one man forced to confront his abusive past, and is a sober reminder that, through love and healing, suffering can be transcended-and evil confronted.
