A bit of everything. King was back with his new crime fiction Finders Keepers, Lee Child brought us new thriller Personal, Ian McEwan – a touching Children Act, whereas John Cleese, cofounder of the legendary Monty Python’s Flying Circus, surprised us with his autobiography entitled So Anyway.
What a book!
Mr. Mercedes by Stephen King proves its ingenious author’s brilliance not only in the horror fiction genre but also in building dreadful criminal plotlines. Readers awaiting the last volume of The Century Trilogy by Ken Follet could finally get the new release, Edge of Eternity. The year was also marked by the release of Mario Puzo’s The Godfather audiobook, a grand production which involved several dozens of actors and had Janusz Gajos as the leading character.
As for team Albatros, we made our debut as directors of a concert and flash-mob event at the Warsaw Central Station. This, being part of a promotional campaign of a composer Burt Bacharach’s biography, was certainly a memorable moment!
Long-awaited new novel…
… entitled And the Mountains Echoed by Khaled Hosseini, author of an acclaimed The Kite Runner, was finally released. Jöel Dicker’s novel The Truth About the Harry Quebert Affair, a French-language bestseller, which was shortlisted for the Prix Goncourt, turned out to be a sensation on our market. Your favourite writers didn’t let us down either: Lee Child, Guillaume Musso and Stephen King.
And we were asking ourselves the entire year: how many broken hearts did Jöel Dicker leave upon his visit to Poland?
