At just fifteen years old, Lulu, a "round, hungry little girl," finds that her erotic cravings are already powerfully established when she is seduced by a family friend, Pablo, twelve years her senior. This initial encounter incites the violent power play that drives an adult Lulu through a series of increasingly titillating sexual exploits. Always fascinated by the thin line separating decency and morality from perversion, Lulu gains the courage to explore the darker side of her carnal desires—but as her forays become increasingly desperate, the world of illicit and dangerous sex threatens to engulf her completely. A groundbreaking novel of sexual exploration, The Ages of Lulu sparked international controversy and was an overnight sensation when it was first published in Spain fifteen years ago. It won the Sonrisa Vertical Prize for erotic fiction, and was made into a film starring Javier Bardem.

excuse and stayed...' and so it was that William Donaldson, creator of HENRY ROOT, began his career as a London brothel-keeper-and met for the first time Emma Jane (once Miss Crampton, typist), Black Dolores and Big Elaine (a country girl at heart, who still thinks sex a trifle rude and has therefore decided that charging for it is the least morally confusing thing to do). Not to mention the constant flow of bankers, cabinet ministers and Hooray Henrys whose strange and sometimes endearing demands make every day a fount of wonder - and hilarity. 'One of the funniest books written for many a moon' Stephen Pile 'A minor classic of uncivilised bawdry' Kenneth Tynan 'In thoroughly bad taste but very funny indeed' Daily Telegraph 'The best book I've ever read' Richard Ingrams 'Hilarious and totally disgraceful' Sunday Times

Slaughter at Salerno

Tracing their origins to medieval Portugal and Spain, the Sephardic Jews consider themselves ‘the nobility of Jewry,’ in contrast to their pushier and more aggressive German counterparts. They were also the first Jews to inhabit the new world—first exiled from Spain and Portugal, and then forced out of Brazil, a ship bearing 23 Sephardic Jews was blown off its course to Holland, beset by pirates, and then captured by a French captain before being ransomed for the ‘payment of their freight’ in the City of New Amsterdam. And so the American Sephardic Jewish story begins.Here Stephen Birmingham tells the rich and varied history of this insular group of bewilderingly interrelated families, spiced with gossip and the gentle rattling of family skeletons. We find tales of fortunes made in the fur trade long before the Astors, revolutionary heroes and heroines, and poetic spinster Rebecca Gratz, thought to be Scott’s model for Rebecca in Ivanhoe. Through it all emerges a picture of a proud haughty people, who have chosen to remain aloof from the later-arriving Jews from Europe, and have staunchly refused to be swept up in the movement of Reform Judaism, preferring to adhere to their Orthodox rituals. Stephen Birmingham weaves a vibrant tapestry of the Sephardic experience in America, working in threads of their history in medieval Europe as he depicts the lives of these extraordinary Americans.
