It is a few hours a day ... What can happen ?? now the time passes and we do not know anything about it ... suddenly we find the hour indicates the fifth ... then we look at the hour we find it at one in the morning ... then What can happen in a novel .. You talk about a few hours ?? !!. A question I asked for myself .. And until now I did not find an answer to it .. So why are we not looking for the answer together?

(Hebta) takes us to that world that everyone has destroyed in search .. that world that despite the repeated stories and novels of his stories, but everyone in it falls into the same mistakes, restores the same events, and the same pain suffers .. during a six -hour lecture that takes us (Osama) the lecturer. To rare cases ... and despite its scarcity, you will only be able to find yourself in it .. in the world of love, hope and pain .. through cases we live and understand from them those seven stages that summarized all the rules .. the rules of "Hebta" ..

"Cut all those fake lines that link you with a fake reality, and close your eyes one minute .. And now .. Tell me .. What is the goal of all this?" This is what (Hussein Aref) wrote in an attempt to know things that is impossible to realize its truth .. He is a thirty man He decided to find answers to all the questions that everyone is afraid to ask themselves to themselves, and to escape from them always .. only three hours left.

Yes, I am telling you .. In your hands, now a novel that you do not like the frequencies .. A written story for the lovers of madness and amateurs of breaking the rules .. A story that I wrote with my soul and my body until I was burned .. I wrote it with one hand, insisting that you will reach you with all the difficulties and everything I faced and what I had to sacrifice it in exchange for you to read a narration that you did not read like before .. a novel about me .. and what is around you .. and about you .. my question to you now, my friend .. What do you want more than this? "Hazem Kamkhada"

Some photographs hold more than light.Nora Quinn restores old photographs for a living — and sometimes, when she touches an image, the frozen moment moves. She sees the seconds after the shutter closed. She calls it her curse.When she arrives at a remote coastal signal-house to catalogue the archive of legendary photographer Miriam Kessler — dead three weeks from a fall off the headland — she finds a mystery hidden in Kessler's most famous image for fifty years. A girl in the background of Regatta Day, being pulled into shadow, her face frozen in terror. Kessler had found her too. Her last undeveloped roll proves it. And then she died before she could tell anyone what she discovered.Now Nora must follow the photograph's secret to its source — before whoever silenced Kessler comes for her next.A cozy mystery with atmosphere, heart, and a heroine unlike any other. Perfect for fans of Jacqueline Winspear and Susanna Clarke.The photograph has kept its secret for fifty years. Nora Quinn is about to develop it.

After five years of dark, Nell Cutler wanted a wedding. A proper one. The kind you plan because you believe in the future.The autumn of 1944 brings something the women of Sparrow Street have not permitted themselves to feel for five long years: real, bright, fragile hope. The Allies are winning. Paris is liberated. The blackout is easing, a thin strip of light allowed back into London's streets for the first time since 1939. And Nell Cutler — who has run this corner shop through the worst of it, who has held this street together through the Blitz and the grey middle years and more loss than any woman should carry — looks at her found-again daughter Margaret, glowing with her David, and announces that what Sparrow Street needs now is a wedding.A proper wartime wedding, planned for November, with a real cake and real flowers and the whole street gathered to celebrate — because after five years of snatching joy in the dark between the bombs, they are going to plan a joy, a whole full certain future joy, and they are going to believe in it.But the war is not quite done, and it reminds them of that. The V-weapons come — first the doodlebugs, droning and cutting out, then the V-2 rockets falling without warning from a clear sky — and the street behind Sparrow Street vanishes in an instant, and three weeks before the wedding David Ross runs toward the rubble.And still, the wedding comes. Because that is what the women of Sparrow Street do: they hold on, and they come through, and they celebrate the joy that love insists on, even now, even here, even in the last spiteful months of a five-year war.A Wedding on Sparrow Street is the seventh book in The Sparrow Street Girls World War Two saga — the most joyful and hopeful book in the series. A wartime wedding story, a testament to the love that endures the unendurable, and the first bright light of the peace that is finally, really, coming.A historical saga for fans of Dilly Court, Ellie Dean, and Annie Groves — and for anyone who has held on through the long dark and believed, against everything, that the dawn was coming.It is never too late for joy. Nell Cutler toasted the whole street on that November day, and the whole street believed her. The peace was coming. The lads were coming home. And after five years of dark, the light was nearly there.

Every book remembers who held it last. And some of those memories can kill.Cass Ravel has a gift she'd rather not have: when she touches an old book, its pages whisper back the last secret its owner carried to the grave — words that bloom in wet ink, then vanish as if they were never there. It's a talent that ended her career in London and earned her a reputation she can't outrun. So when a wealthy, reclusive bibliophile summons her to restore the library at remote Aldworth Hall, she comes for the work, the fee, and the quiet.But the man who wrote to her is already dead.They're calling it a weak heart. The books say otherwise. As Cass sets to work among the dust and candlelight of the finest private library she's ever seen, the volumes give up their secrets one by one — a forged signature, a poisoned glass, a will that has quietly gone missing. Someone inside the Hall smiled at their host across the dinner table and watched him die. And now that someone knows exactly what Cass can do.Trapped by the fen mists with a house full of polished liars — and a watchful librarian who may be the only person she can trust — Cass must read the truth out of the ink before the killer closes the book on her for good.If you love:- Atmospheric country-house whodunits and classic closed-circle mysteries- A clever, prickly heroine with a touch of the uncanny- Gothic candlelit libraries, old secrets, and a slow-burn romance- Poison, forgery, and a puzzle that plays fair to the last page- Cozy mysteries with a whisper of magic and no gore or spiceA haunting, twisty standalone mystery for readers who like their tea strong, their houses grand, and their secrets deadly.Open the book. See what the ink knows.

London, summer 1947. Two years into the peace, Sparrow Street is a street transformed — the men home, the marriages mended, the children growing up free of the war their mothers lived through, and a whole new generation being born into a world worth the winning.When Margaret and David welcome a baby girl, they name her Dawn — for the new world rising, at last, from the ashes of the old. For Nell Cutler, the street's fierce, warm-hearted heart and soul for thirty years, that small arrival closes a circle of loss and love thirty years in the making.As Sparrow Street gathers for a joyful summer celebration — the returned men, the healed marriages, the widows and the peace babies, all together at last — Grace Bellamy looks back on the whole extraordinary journey that brought them here, and forward to a new world rising: a fairer Britain, a National Health Service born free for everyone, and a street that never stopped holding each other up.A warm, moving chapter in the saga of the women who carried Sparrow Street through its darkest years — and into the dawn.Book Ten in the Sparrow Street Girls saga. Can be read as part of the series or enjoyed on its own.

She was pegging out the washing when the war began. She was standing in Nell's shop when it ended. And between those two moments, she had become someone she had never imagined — and everything she had ever wanted was finally, truly, coming home.The news comes over the wireless on an ordinary spring evening in May 1945: Germany has surrendered. The war in Europe is over. And Grace Bellamy, who has waited five and a half years for these words, stands quite still in her little kitchen as the mending slides from her lap, and can only think one thing: Tom's coming home. For good. Forever.She runs to Nell's shop — of course she does, it is where Sparrow Street runs when the news is too big to bear alone — and finds the whole street already gathering, women weeping and laughing and holding each other, saying it over and over as if to make it real: it's over. We won. It's over at last. And Nell Cutler, who has held this street together through the whole long war and the war before it, stands behind her counter with tears streaming down her broad grey face and raises her hands and says, in a voice shaking with six years of held-back feeling: "e;Well, girls. We did it. We came through."e;What follows is VE Day itself — the great table in the street, the dancing, the music, and then, one by one through that glorious long day, the soldiers of Sparrow Street coming home. And the harder, quieter, more important thing that follows the celebration: the real homecoming, the patient loving work of helping men come home not just in body but in heart, of learning each other again across the distance the war has made.Victory on Sparrow Street is the eighth book in The Sparrow Street Girls World War Two saga — the triumphant, deeply felt, emotionally complete conclusion to the wartime years of Sparrow Street. A story about VE Day, about homecoming, about the women who held the home front through the whole long war and now win the harder, quieter victory of the peace — and about Grace and Tom, who dreamed of their after for six long years, and are finally, truly, living it.A historical saga for fans of Dilly Court, Ellie Dean, and Rosie Hendry — and for anyone who has ever waited a very long time for the dawn, and found it sweeter than they ever imagined for the waiting.She waited five and a half years for him to come home. And the whole ordinary lovely life they had dreamed of — the little house, the family, the peace — began at last, in the autumn of 1945, in the first winter of the light coming back on.
