'Children begin by loving their parents. After a time they judge them. Rarely, if ever, do they forgive them.' Emily has not yet reached the age of judgement. For her, normality consists of contentment and magic and there is no possibility of change in the seeming happiness of her parents - Fen, beautiful and mercurial, and Idle, a hardworking and gentle man. She loves them both and her image of them is together - indivisible, laughing, dancing, making every day scintilate with life. When change does come, Emily is a helpless spectator, confused by the puzzle of ill-fitting events. It is seldom that an exceptional book is written about a child's world for it requires unusual imagination and a sharp, delicate touch. Combining these, Angela Huth looks at the vicissitudes of grown-up behaviour through the eyes of a child who watches and suffers from them. The situation - an all too familiar one - is treated with both poignant humour and ruthless honesty.

Sun Child

HUTH, Angela

A critique of the narcissism, ignorance and anti-communitarianism of the digital elite and their culture. Until now, the pronouncements of the high-tech gurus and society's obsession with them have rarely been questioned. The author of this text seeks to set the record straight, examining such issues as the lack of philanthropy among high-tech companies, the anti-liberal arts bias - which dismisses most art and literature created before the computer revolution - and the culture's misogyny.

Linda McCartney

Linda McCartney died of breast cancer in April 1998. This biography by a friend of over 30 years offers to bring the whole Linda McCartney into view. In 1969, when Linda Eastman married the world's most eligible bachelor, The Beatles' Paul McCartney people said it wouldn't last. Yet it lasted nearly 30 years. How did they do it? What was the nature of their commitment, and what made it so strong? Was it indeed as "idyllic" as the press has defined it. In their own words, Linda and Paul reveal to Danny Fields how a romance given a poor chance of survival, flourished until Linda's death. Interviews with the couple, with friends, family and stars of the world they lived in, and the perspective of a 30-year intense friendship have gone into the writing of the book, intended to both inform and inspire.

Marilyn Wisbey grew up alongside some of the most notorious villains of London. She is the daughter of Great Train Robber Tommy Wisbey; the goddaughter of the infamous Freddie Foreman, acquitted of the murder of Ginger Marks and convicted of being an accessory to murder with Reggie Kray of Jack "The Hat" McVitie; a long-time friend of Reggie and Charlie Kray; and now lives with "Mad" Frank Fraser. Her story examines the role of a "moll", what she feels about the morals of being one, and how the public react to her, revealing what it's like to be a woman in the male-dominated underworld.

Gangster's Moll

Marilyn Wisbey

Thief. Informer. Double-dealer. Whoremonger. Drunkard. Gambler. Will Shadwell may not be the most moral of men, but to Henry Gresham - gentleman, scholar, courtier, spy - he is invaluable. For in the dark days of the reign of King James I a man must know his enemies to survive; Shadwell, by hook or more often by crook, is one of his best sources. Then Shadwell is brutally murdered and Gresham is summoned to London by the man he fears most: Robert Cecil, the King's Chief Secretary, and Machiavellian master of a sinister network of spies. Cecil wants Gresham to discover the truth about Sir Francis Bacon's private life, but when Gresham begins his investigations, he finds that he is the one who is being watched ...As Gresham continues to do Cecil's bidding with ever increasing trepidation, his enquiries into Shadwell's death uncover a plot so audacious it is scarcely believable: a catholic uprising, a violent insurrection, and a trail of gunpowder underneath the Houses of Parliament ...
