Paperback. Etat : Very Good. Winner of the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction and Richard and Judy pick. From the author of the acclaimed Year of Wonders and People of the Book, a historical novel and love story set during a time of catastrophe on the front lines of the American Civil War. Set during the American Civil War, March tells the story of John March, known to us as the father away from his family of girls in Little Women, Louisa May Alcotts classic American novel. In Brookss telling, March emerges as an abolitionist and idealistic chaplain on the front lines of a war that tests his faith in himself and in the Union cause when he learns that his side, too, is capable of barbarism and racism. As he recovers from a near-fatal illness in a Washington hospital, he must reassemble the shards of his shattered mind and body, and find a way to reconnect with a wife and daughters who have no idea of the ordeals he has been through. As Alcott drew on her real-life sisters in shaping the characters of her little women, so Brooks turned to the journals and letters of Bronson Alcott, Louisa Mays father, an idealistic educator, animal rights exponent and abolitionist who was a friend and confidante of Ralph Waldo Emerson and Henry David Thoreau. The story spans the vibrant intellectual world of Concord and the sensuous antebellum South, through to the first year of the Civil War as the North reels under a series of unexpected defeats. Like her bestselling Year of Wonders, March follows an unconventional love story. It explores the passions between a man and a woman, the tenderness of parent and child, and the life-changing power of an ardently held belief. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition.

Paperback. Etat : Very Good. An entertaining memoir of a rollicking life in New York of an Irish immigrant. The title is derived from the young Malachys mishearing of the words amongst women in Hail Mary.

Here he tells the story of his own hell-raising days when he left Ireland and went in search of fame, fortune and fun in New York. The Exuberance of the Irish lifestyle in New York is matched with the scenes of rollercoaster emotional life, and a fair amount of alcohol. A MONK SWIMMING, the story of a life lived uproariously, is light-hearted and immensely readable, outrageous and comic. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Paperback. Etat : Very Good. Shortlisted for the 2017 PEN Ackerley Prize The thing to remember about this story is that every word is true. If I never told it to a soul, and this book did not exist, it would not cease to be true. I dont mind at all if you forget this. The important thing is that I dont. On a hot still morning on a beautiful beach in Jamaica, Decca Aitkenheads life changed for ever. Her four-year-old boy was paddling peacefully at the waters edge when a wave pulled him out to sea. Her partner, Tony, swam out and saved their sons life then drowned before her eyes. When Decca and Tony first met a decade earlier, they became the most improbable couple in London. She was an award-winning Guardian journalist, famous for interviewing leading politicians. He was a dreadlocked criminal with a history of drug-dealing and violence. No one thought the romance would last, but it did. Until the tide swept Tony away, plunging Decca into the dark chasm of random tragedy. Exploring race and redemption, privilege and prejudice, ALL AT SEA is a remarkable story of love and loss, of how one couple changed each others lives and of what a sudden death can do to the people who survive. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.
