uncertain game, used by the houses of Neville, York and Lancaster alike.

The Help - Kathryn Stockett
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.
The Lovely Bones - Alice Sebold
The Lovely Bones
is the story of a family devastated by a gruesome murder -- a murder
recounted by the teenage victim. Upsetting, you say? Remarkably,
first-time novelist Alice Sebold takes this difficult material and
delivers a compelling and accomplished exploration of a fractured
family's need for peace and closure.
The details of the crime are
laid out in the first few pages: from her vantage point in heaven,
Susie Salmon describes how she was confronted by the murderer one
December afternoon on her way home from school. Lured into an
underground hiding place, she was raped and killed. But what the reader
knows, her family does not. Anxiously, we keep vigil with Susie,
aching for her grieving family, desperate for the killer to be found and
punished.

blessed her with dangerous gifts—and a violent destiny. If she chooses
to stay at the convent, she will be trained as an assassin and serve as a
handmaiden to Death. To claim her new life, she must destroy the lives
of others.
Ismae’s most important assignment takes her straight
into the high court of Brittany—where she finds herself woefully under
prepared—not only for the deadly games of intrigue and treason, but for
the impossible choices she must make. For how can she deliver Death’s
vengeance upon a target who, against her will, has stolen her heart?
A Discovery of Witches - Deborah Harkness (Book #1 in The All Souls Trilogy)
When historian Diana
Bishop opens an alchemical manuscript in the Bodleian Library, it's an
unwelcome intrusion of magic into her carefully ordered life. Though
Diana is a witch of impeccable lineage, the violent death of her parents
while she was still a child convinced her that human fear is more
potent than any witchcraft. Now Diana has unwittingly exposed herself to
a world she's kept at bay for years; one of powerful witches, creative,
destructive daemons and long-lived vampires. Sensing the significance
of Diana's discovery, the creatures gather in Oxford, among them the
enigmatic Matthew Clairmont, a vampire genticist. Diana is inexplicably
drawn to Matthew and, in a shadowy world of half-truths and old
enmities, ties herself to him without fully understanding the ancient
line they are crossing. As they begin to unlock the secrets of the
manuscript and their feelings for each other deepen, so the fragile
balance of peace unravels...
The Luxe - Anna Godberson (Book #1 in The Luxe Series)
Pretty girls in pretty
dresses, partying until dawn. Irresistible boys with mischievous smiles
and dangerous intentions. White lies, dark secrets, and scandalous
hookups. This is Manhattan, 1899.
Beautiful sisters Elizabeth and
Diana Holland rule Manhattan's social scene. Or so it appears. When the
girls discover their status among New York City's elite is far from
secure, suddenly everyone--from the backstabbing socialite Penelope
Hayes, to the debonair bachelor Henry Schoonmaker, to the spiteful maid
Lina Broud--threatens Elizabeth's and Diana's golden future. With the
fate of the Hollands resting on her shoulders, Elizabeth must choose
between family duty and true love. But when her carriage overturns near
the East River, the girl whose glittering life lit up the city's gossip
pages is swallowed by the rough current. As all of New York grieves,
some begin to wonder whether life at the top proved too much for this
ethereal beauty, or if, perhaps, someone wanted to see Manhattan's most
celebrated daughter disappear... In a world of luxury and deception,
where appearance matters above everything and breaking the social code
means running the risk of being ostracised forever, five teenagers lead
dangerously scandalous lives. This thrilling trip to the age of
innocence is anything but innocent.
Dark Places - Gillian Flynn
Libby Day was just seven years old when her evidence put her fifteen-year-old brother behind bars.
Since
then, she has been drifting. But when she is contacted by a group who
are convinced of Ben's innocence, Libby starts to ask questions she
never dared to before. Was the voice she heard her brother's? Ben was a
misfit in their small town, but was he capable of murder? Are there
secrets to uncover at the family farm or is Libby deluding herself

She begins to realise that
everyone in her family had something to hide that day... especially Ben.
Now, twenty-four years later, the truth is going to be even harder to
find.
Who did massacre the Day family?
