THE
PRIVILEGES by Jonathan Dee $29.99 TPB 9781849014052
(Corsair)
The Privileges opens with the wedding of Adam and
Cynthia Morey, two young, smart, socially gifted and chronically
impatient people who are utterly perfect for each other in ways both
good and bad. It's not long before they become young parents and, armed
with a vivid faith in their future, they first become rich and then very
rich. As the years pass and Adam tempts fate by insider trading, their
children struggle to deal with the life of privilege into which they
have been born: their daughter, April, through an embrace of excess, and
their son, Jonas, via a pilgrimage into the world of art that becomes
so authentic that it very nearly gets him killed. The Privileges is
beautifully written and brilliantly imagined; it's a startling look at a
family's realisation that the only thing they can truly count on is
each other.
NEW MOAN The First Book in the Twishite Saga - A Parody by
Stephfordy Mayo $16.99 PB 9781843174448 (Michael O'Mara)
Heffa
Lump is a selfcentred 17-year-old who needs to grow up and get a life.
Fortunately, the Spatula Academy of Fictional Excellence specialises in
helping characters from kids books cross over into adult fiction.
Unfortunately, she's distracted from her attempts to leave adolescence
behind when she meets Teddy Kelledy, an impossibly gorgeous boy who
never goes out in daylight. Soon, Heffa finds herself harassed by
supernatural forces on all sides. Will Heffa be able to narrate herself
out of danger? And what will happen when the New Moan rises? New Moan is
guaranteed to make any fan laugh out loud with its irreverent and
clever take on the hugely popular Twilight series.
