25.01.2022 This week’s recommendation: THE DAUGHTERS OF MARS by Tom Keneally In 1915, two spirited Australian sisters join the war effort as nurses, escaping the confines of their father’s dairy farm and carrying a guilty secret with them. Used to tending the sick as they are, nothing could have prepared them for what they confront, first in the Dardanelles, then on the Western Front. ... Yet amid the carnage, Naomi and Sally Durance become the friends they never were at home, and find themselves courageous in the face of extreme danger and the hostility they encounter from some on their own side. And in France, where Naomi nurses in a hospital set up by the eccentric Lady Tarlton while Sally works in a casualty clearing station, each meets an exceptional man: the kind of men for whom they might give up some of their precious independence-if only they all survive. At once vast in scope and extraordinarily intimate, THE DAUGHTERS OF MARS brings the First World War to vivid life from an unusual perspective. A searing and profoundly moving tale, it pays tribute to the men and women who voluntarily risked their lives for peace.

14.01.2022 This week’s recommendation: ON THE BLUE TRAIN by Kristen Thornell It was the work of the moment: On 4 December 1926, Agatha Christie became Teresa Neele, resident of the spa hotel, the Harrogate Hydro. With her wedding ring left behind, and her minimal belongings unpacked, the lost days begin.... Lying to her fellow guests about the death of her husband and child, Teresa settles in to the anonymity she so fiercely desires. Until Harry McKenna, bruised from the end of his first marriage, asks her to dance. In this entrancing novel of creativity and grief, Kristel Thornell combines fact and fantasy to reconstruct Agatha Christie’s retreat from a life that had become too difficult. With verve and sensitivity, Thornell imagines what Christie could not write. In store now....

14.01.2022 This week’s recommendation: THE ELEGANCE OF THE HEDGEHOG by Muriel Barbery. Renee is the concierge of a grand Parisian apartment building on the Left Bank. To the residents she is honest, reliable and uncultivated-an ideal concierge. But Renee has a secret. Beneath this conventional facade she is passionate about culture and the arts, and more knowledgeable in many ways than her self-important employers. ... Down in her lodge, Renee is resigned to living a lie; meanwhile, several floors up, twelve year old Paloma Josse is determined to avoid a predictably bourgeois future, and plans to commit suicide on her thirteenth birthday. But the death of one of their privileged neighbours will bring dramatic changes to number 7, Rue de Grenelle, altering the course of both their lives forever. By turn moving and hilarious, this unusual and insightful novel is now an international publishing sensation, with sales of over 2.5 million copies. In store now...

13.01.2022 This week’s recommendation: THE BOOK SHOP OF THE BROKEN HEARTED by Robert Hillman Tom Hope is a humble man. Not much of a farmer-too soft-hearted even to butcher his own sheep. Not much of a husband either, judging by the sudden departure of his adored wife. But he turns out to have a gift for fatherhood. Until he loses the child, and his heart breaks all over again.... Then he meets Hannah Babel, quixotic small-town bookseller: the second Jew-and the most vivid person-Tom has ever known. He dares to believe they could make each other happy. But it is 1969. Twenty-five years ago, Hannah arrived at Auschwitz with her own little boy. And now Tom Hope is taking on a battle with heartbreak he can barely even begin to imagine. In store now....

11.01.2022 A passionate visual story on the value of school libraries from the pens of Neil Gaiman and Chris Riddell. Masterful and so true!

11.01.2022 This week’s recommendation: SOUTHERN RUBY by Belinda Alexandra In New Orleans- the city of genteel old houses and ancient oak trees covered in Spanish moss, of seductive night life, Creole culture, voodoo and jazz-two women separated by time and tragedy will find each other at last. ... Amanda, orphaned as a child and suffering the loss of her beloved grandmother, has left Sydney in search of a family she never knew. Ruby, constrained by the expectations of society and class, is carrying a lifetime of secrets. Amanda’s arrival sparks revelations long buried-a double life, a forbidden love, and a loss that cannot be forgotten. SOUTHERN RUBY is a sweeping story of love, passion, family and honour. Alternating in time between the 1950s and the eve of Hurricane Katrina, it is also a tribute to a city heady with mystery, music, and superstition, which has borne the tumults of race and class and the fury of nature, but has never given up hope. In store now.....
