Bagi kita mungkin ia sosok orangtua, guru, atau teman sejawat. Seseorang yang lebih berumur, sabar, dan arif, yang memahami kita sebagai orang muda penuh gelora, yang membantu kita memandang dunia sebagai tempat yang lebih indah, dan memberitahu kita cara terbaik untuk mengarunginya. Bagi Mitch Albom, orang itu adalah Morrie Schwartz, seorang mahaguru yang pernah menjadi dosennya hampir dua puluh tahun yang lampau.Barangkali, seperti Mitch, kita kehilangan kontak dengan sang guru sejalan dengan berlalunya waktu, banyaknya kesibukan, dan semakin dinginnya hubungan sesama manusia. Tidakkah kita ingin bertemu dengannya lagi untuk mencari jawab atas pertanyaan-pertanyaan besar yang masih menghantui kita, dan menimba kearifan guna menghadapi hari-hari sibuk kita dengan cara seperti ketika kita masih muda?Bagi Mitch Albom, kesempatan kedua itu ada karena suatu keajaiban telah mempertemukannya kembali dengan Morrie pada bulan-bulan terakhir hidupnya. Keakraban yang segera hidup kembali di antara guru dan murid itu sekaligus menjadi sebuah "kuliah" akhir: kuliah tentang cara menjalani hidup. Selasa Bersama Morrie menghadirkan sebuah laporan rinci luar biasa seputar kebersamaan mereka.
Laugh-out-loud funny from the author that bought you Mum On The Run. Fiona’s writing deals with the real life cringe-worthy moments we all know so well…Hannah’s getting married… and has serious pre-wedding jitters. She adores Ryan but can’t figure out how to fit into his grown-up, family-sized life. There’s that fridge, for starters. That, too, is family-sized, with a gadget on the front that spits ice in her face. More alarming still are Ryan’s children, Daisy, 10 and Josh, 13, who clearly don’t relish the prospect of Hannah, a free-spirited greetings card illustrator, becoming their step-mum.So she fires off invitations to a hen weekend – just the ticket to get her into the marrying mood. Trouble is…New mum Sadie is leaving her twin babies for the very first time with their terrified dad…Lou is unaware that her long-term man Spike is desperate to bundle her onto that Glasgow-bound train so he can hot-foot it round to see his secret fling Miranda…And, unbeknown to the girls, Johnny, their sexy upstairs neighbour from their art college days, is still frequenting those haunts, desperately in need of a little magic to happen.Perfect for fans of Jane Costello, Kate Long and Tess Stimson.
Three ordinary women are about to take one extraordinary step.Twenty-two-year-old Skeeter has just returned home after graduating from Ole Miss. She may have a degree, but it is 1962, Mississippi, and her mother will not be happy till Skeeter has a ring on her finger. Skeeter would normally find solace with her beloved maid Constantine, the woman who raised her, but Constantine has disappeared and no one will tell Skeeter where she has gone.Aibileen is a black maid, a wise, regal woman raising her seventeenth white child. Something has shifted inside her after the loss of her own son, who died while his bosses looked the other way. She is devoted to the little girl she looks after, though she knows both their hearts may be broken.Minny, Aibileen's best friend, is short, fat, and perhaps the sassiest woman in Mississippi. She can cook like nobody's business, but she can't mind her tongue, so she's lost yet another job. Minny finally finds a position working for someone too new to town to know her reputation. But her new boss has secrets of her own.Seemingly as different from one another as can be, these women will nonetheless come together for a clandestine project that will put them all at risk. And why? Because they are suffocating within the lines that define their town and their times. And sometimes lines are made to be crossed.
