Review\n"I read this straight through and in places shed tears; this moved me and I wholeheartedly recommend it." —Pete Adams, multi-award-winning author\nPostal worker Jenny’s life is in the doldrums. Her daughter is all grown up and ready to face the world, her marriage is falling apart, and now her best friend and colleague tells her he plans to retire. So, when a postcard from Australia, begging the recipient for forgiveness but marked ‘insufficient address’, lands on her sorting table, she does the unthinkable – she slips it up her sleeve, with the intention of delivering it herself.\nJenny sets off on a journey around the Isle of Wight, determined to find the recipient, and with the help of the locals she hopes to reunite the long-lost lovers. Will she be able to give them the happy ending she didn’t allow herself to have?\nSet against the backdrop of the strikes in the 1980s, Missing Words is a heart-warming journey about self-discovery, the power of family ties, and the strength needed to face whatever life throws your way.

A dead man's house. A dead man's clothes. And a dead man's wine cellar... It's 1960s Mallorca. Thomas Sebastian, an English conman, is hiding out in the house of the late Senyor Rodriguez - carousing, partying, and falling in love with his beautiful but impossibly young neighbour, Isabella Ferretti. As the boundary between lies and reality blurs, Thomas' fiction spirals out of control in ways that are quite unexpected.

The Tale of Senyor Rodriguez

Gilmond, Lou

<div>When Tito is a child, his grandmother teaches him how to weave magic around the ones you love in order to keep them close. She is the master and he is the pupil, exasperating Tito's put-upon mother who, although exhausted from working long hours, is usually the focus of their mischief. As Tito grows older and his grandmother's mind becomes less sound, their games take a dangerous turn. They both struggle with a particular spell, one that creates an illusion of illness to draw in love. But as the lines between magic and childish tales blur, so too do those between fantasy and reality. In this beautifully told drama of the bond between grandson and grandmother, J. T. Torres delicately explores the complexities of family bonds - in which love is need, and need becomes manipulation, along with the pain and difficulties of dementia and mental ill health.</div>

Historical

For many of us, concern for the planet and our footprint upon it is a part of everyday life. Our newsfeeds are full of reports of climate disaster, plastic pollution in our oceans and a collapse in worldwide biodiversity. We know 'something must be done'. But this is a complex and confusing proposition. What exactly must be done? By whom? And in a world of eight billion people, what can any one of us do that can genuinely make a difference? Based on her own journey trying to 'tread more lightly on the Earth', Lucinda provides: * A crash course in the facts of the problem, separating wild prophecy from scientific fact, and political agenda from truth.* Tips on reducing your carbon footprint, plastic use and impact on biodiversity.* An honest exposition of the struggles Lucinda faced in her own journey fighting against a 'system' set up to promote plastic and carbon-intensive consumerism.* Advice on how to combat the 'rebound effect' so that your personal efforts are not undone by others, plus how to generate ripples that have a bigger impact than just your own actions.* Tips on how to stand firm in the face of naysayers, deniers and those who want to deflect you from your path.
