Meet Margaret. She's going through all the same things most teenage girls have to face; fitting in, friendship and first bras. Life isn't easy for Margaret. She's moved away from her childhood home, she's starting a new school, finding new friends - and she's convinced she's not normal. For a start she hasn't got a clue whether she wants to be Jewish like her father or Christian like her mother. Everyone else seems really sure of who they are. And, worst of all, she's a 'late developer'. She just knows that all her friends are going to need a bra before she does. It's too embarrassing to talk to her parents about these things. So she talks to God instead - and waits for an answer . . . This is a 50th anniversary of Judy Blume's bestselling classic teen novel, Are You There, God? It's Me, Margaret featuring a fresh, contemporary cover look and a letter from the author.

"De haciënda" is de fascinerende en exotische autobiografie van Lisa St. Aubin de Terán, die op zestienjarige leeftijd op straat in Londen de Zuid-Amerikaanse aristocraat en bankrover Don Jaime Terán tegenkwam, met wie ze trouwde en door Italië trok. Later volgde zij haar echtgenoot naar zijn familielandgoed, een haciënda diep in de Venezolaanse Andes. Lisa, die alleen een soort bandieten-Spaans vol krachttermen beheerste, was in eerste instantie te verlegen om haar mond open te doen in het gezelschap van haar schoonfamilie. Die veronderstelde prompt dat ze doofstom was, waardoor Lisa goed kon volgen wat ze van haar vonden. "De haciënda" vertelt hoe Lisa er het beste van maakte, hoe ze La Dona werd en het landgoed bestierde, haar eerste kind kreeg, hoe ze door eenzaamheid en heimwee gedreven haar schrijverscarrière begon, hoe haar echtgenoot steeds geesteszieker en gewelddadiger werd, en hoe ze zeven jaar lang tussen la gente leefde, ongeletterde mensen die volgens haar eigen zeggen 'de grootste invloed op mijn leven en werk hebben uitgeoefend.
