Letters to my Fanny - Cherry Healey - Bog - Penguin Books Ltd - Plusbog.dk

In this hilarious and candid memoir about twenty-first-century womanhood, Cherry Healey shares outrageous, poignant and eye-wateringly funny confessions. "This book is a love letter, to my body. In fact it''s several letters - to every part from my brain to my belly. I spent most of my life hating by body. I forced it to survive on a diet of ham; I squeezed it into asphyxiating support pants; I accidentally cut my delicate area whilst trimming my lady garden. But now I''ve realized that it deserves some well overdue TLC. This book is the story of how I''ve come to understand some vital life lessons, and started to love being a woman. I hope you enjoy it. Except you, Mum and Dad. You should stop reading now. It''s for the best. I promise." Warm, honest and heartfelt, Letters to my Fanny will have you gasping in recognition.

How Green Was My Valley - Richard Llewellyn - Bog - Penguin Books Ltd - Plusbog.dk

A poignant coming-of-age novel set in a Welsh mining town, Richard Llewellyn''s How Green Was My Valley is a paean to a more innocent age, published in Penguin Modern ClassicsGrowing up in a mining community in rural South Wales, Huw Morgan is taught many harsh lessons - at the kitchen table, at Chapel and around the pit-head. Looking back on the hardships of his early life, where difficult days are faced with courage but the valleys swell with the sound of Welsh voices, it becomes clear that there is nowhere so green as the landscape of his own memory. An immediate bestseller on publication in 1939, How Green Was My Valley quickly became one of the best-loved novels of the twentieth century. Poetic and nostalgic, it is an elegy to a lost world.Richard Dafydd Vivian Llewellyn Lloyd (1906-1983), better known by his pen name Richard Llewellyn, claimed to have been born in St David''s, Pembrokeshire, Wales; after his death he was discovered to have been born of Welsh parents in Hendon, Middlesex. His famous first novel How Green Was My Valley (1939) was begun in St David''s from a draft he had written in India, and was later adapted into an Oscar-winning film by director John Ford. None But the Lonely Heart , his second novel, was published in 1943, and subsequently made into a film starring Cary Grant and Ethel Barrymore. As well as novels including Green, Green My Valley Now (1975) and I Stand on a Quiet Shore (1982), Llewellyn wrote two highly successful plays, Poison Pen and Noose If you enjoyed How Green Was My Valley , you might like Barry Hines'' A Kestrel for a Knave , also available in Penguin Modern Classics.''Vivid, eloquent, poetical, glowing with an inner flame of emotion'' The Times Literary Supplement

A Zoo in My Luggage - Gerald Durrell - Bog - Penguin Books Ltd - Plusbog.dk

''For many years I had wanted to start a zoo . . . any reasonable person smitten with an ambition of this sort would have secured the zoo first and obtained the animals afterwards. but throughout my life I have rarely if ever achieved what I wanted by tackling it in a logical fashion.'' A Zoo in My Luggage is Gerald Durrell''s account of his attempt to set up his own zoo, after years spent gathering animals for other zoos. Journeying to Cameroon, he and his wife collected numerous mammals, birds and reptiles, including Cholmondely the chimpanzee and Bug-eye the bush-baby.But their problems really began when they attempted to return with their exotic menagerie. Not only had they to get them safely home to Britain but they also had to find somewhere able and - most of all - willing to house them.Told with wit and a zest for all things furry and feathered, Gerald Durrell''s A Zoo in My Luggage is a brilliant account of how a pioneer of wildlife preservation came to found a new type of zoo.

My Family and Other Spies - Alistair Wood - Bog - Penguin Books Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Pre-order this unforgettable memoir of life in a family like no other, and their extraordinary, eccentric part in half a century of espionage . . . ‘”Did you know him?” a priest asked me when I first visited my father’s impressive marble tomb in Bosnia.I gave an honest answer – “No, I can’t say I really knew him at all”.It was a view shared by the former head of the Secret Intelligence Service’s anti-Soviet operations. “I don’t suppose we’ll ever really know the truth about J.B. Wood?” he told me. But he thought I had a better chance of finding out than most.After all, most of my family had at one time or another been with SIS, my mother one of only a handful of female agents to have operated behind the lines in post-war Berlin. I had grown up within the perimeter of a specialist SIS training camp, surrounded by some of the most senior - and colourful - characters in the Service’s history.So began a personal, insider’s investigation into the life - or lives - of one of SIS''s more unlikely, if highly regarded, officers.

An Affair with My Mother - Caitriona Palmer - Bog - Penguin Books Ltd - Plusbog.dk

An Affair with My Mother by Caitriona Palmer: a moving and gripping story of love, denial and a daughter''s quest for the truth. Caitriona Palmer had a happy childhood in Dublin, raised by loving adoptive parents. But when she was in her late twenties, she realized that she had a strong need to know the woman who had given birth to her. She was able to locate her birth mother, Sarah, and they developed a strong attachment. But Sarah set one painful condition to this joyous new relationship: she wished to keep it - to keep Caitriona - secret from her family, from her friends, from everyone. Who was Sarah, and why did she want to preserve a decades-old secret? An Affair with My Mother tells the story of Caitriona''s quest to answer these questions, and of the intense, furtive ''affair'' she and her mother conducted in carefully chosen locations around Dublin. By turns heartwarming and heartbreaking, An Affair with My Mother is a searing portrait of the social and familial forces that left Sarah - and so many other unwed Irish mothers of her generation - frightened, traumatized and bereft. It is also a beautifully written account of a remarkable relationship.''Caitriona Palmer has called out the false shame of her origins, with a kind of anguished courage that is incredibly moving . An Affair With My Mother is a forensic account of how it feels to be - in the interests of Catholic "respectability" - excluded from the facts of your own life. In its commitment to family love, to joy and truth, it is a gift.'' Anne Enright, winner of the Man Booker Prize

A terrible crime is just about to take place... One day Lindy Simpson cycles home from school and straight into a trap: someone is lying in wait for her, a wire strung between lampposts blocking the path.

No one sees a thing and the perpetrator is not caught.Her fourteen year old neighbour has cherished a crush on Lindy, the ultimate girl next door, since they were kids. After her assault he becomes determined to solve the crime, investigating each suspect in the neighbourhood.

In his zeal to solve the mystery, the teenage detective stumbles across a sinister world he doesn''t recognise, drawing ever closer to a terrifying denouement. My Sunshine Away is an extraordinary debut novel from a unique new literary voice. Childhood in small-town America is filled with dreamy, technicolour days of innocence, but beneath the homely comforts and familiarity, this world is rotten to its very core. For every fan of The Lovely Bones and The Virgin Suicides comes a new and haunting tale of disturbance in suburbia." Try and restrain yourself from flying through the pages of this wonderful novel .

Not just Southern but American in its vivid Baton Rouge colours and scents, treetops and grasses... The last page is as satisfying as the first. A mystery you cannot wait to solve. " -Kathryn Stockett, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Help " This is literature of the highest order. Although the book snaps with the tautness of a thriller, My Sunshine Away also asks essential questions, like how much responsibility we have to each other, and whether we can we ever fully reassemble the pieces of broken lives. We need more novelists with the guts and clarity of M.O. Walsh. " --Matthew Thomas, New York Times bestselling author of We Are Not Ourselves " If you start this novel, you will not put it down. My Sunshine Away is a riveting, suspenseful, page-turning mystery. It is also a wise, insightful, and beautifully written novel. This is an extraordinary debut." --Jill McCorkle, New York Times bestselling author of Life After Life "I can''t praise it enough... I am swept up in the quiet beauty of the prose, and in the wisdom and compassion of the narrator. My Sunshine Away is not a thriller; it is a page turner and it''s realism at its finest. It''s about love, obsession, and pain. A beautiful, remarkable book. I hope M.O. Walsh writes many more. " -Anne Rice, #1 bestselling author of Prince Lestat "Walsh''s word-perfect rendering of the doubts, insecurities, bravado, and idealism of teens deserves to be placed in the hands of readers of Tom Franklin, Hannah Pittard, and Jeffrey Eugenides ..." Booklist " My Sunshine Away is that rarest find, a page-turner you want to read slowly and a literary novel you can''t look away from. At times funny, at times spine-tinglingly suspenseful, and at times wise... It''s a book to read and reread. I''m already excited about M. O. Walsh''s next book." -Tom Franklin, bestselling author of Crooked Letter, Crooked Letter "M.O. Walsh has written one of the best books I''ve read in a long while . An outstanding examination of the way that the past and the weight of our memories shape us... My Sunshine Away feels utterly original ." -Kevin Wilson, author of The Family Fang " My Sunshine Away is so much more than a mystery; it''s [a] love letter to youth and to possibility. This is an awe-inspiring debut, magic. " -Hannah Pittard, author of Reunion and The Fates Will Find Their Way "M. O. Walsh''s My Sunshine Away reminds us that art can be wrenching and a delight, that pain - if examined through wit, intimacy, and wisdom - can be a salve.

Speaking My Mind - Leo Varadkar - Bog - Penguin Books Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Leo Varadkar shares his fascinating experience as Irish prime minister at a time of much change and turbulence, in this remarkably honest memoir. Leo Varadkar was an unlikely Taoiseach – the youngest on taking office in 2017, the first Taoiseach to be gay, and the first person of colour to be Taoiseach. Equally unlikely was his decision to bow out of politics in his mid-forties. Now, liberated from the constraints of office, he tells his fascinating story with characteristic courage and candour, and provides a unique insight into the formation and evolution of a senior politician. In Speaking My Mind Leo Varadkar shares his pride in helping to bring about transformational changes, such as marriage equality. He describes experiences that only a prime minister could have – speaking frankly to Pope Francis on the legacy of church abuses, connecting with Barack Obama about both being the ‘tall, dark guy with the funny name’, navigating challenges such as the pandemic and the fallout from Brexit. And he writes honestly about the costs that go with the immense privilege of holding high office. Speaking My Mind is a revealing, intimate and important memoir from a singular public figure.

''Every page made me wish I was a potter'' Nigel Slater Florian Gadsby has devoted his life to pottery, refining his technique towards the point of perfection - and as his skill has grown, so has his social media following, which today numbers in the millions. Based at a studio in North London, he releases three new collections per year, characterized by simple forms and sharp edges, which sell out in a matter of minutes.In By My Hands , Florian tells the story of his artistic awakening, his education in England, Ireland and Japan, and of the sheer discipline which has led him to become the cultural sensation he is today. Arguing for the value in dedicating yourself to a craft, Florian weaves anecdotes about particular pots and processes into the narrative of his life, exploring what he has learnt from specific pieces he was taught to throw during his apprenticeships and how they have informed his philosophy and approach to his work. By My Hands is an ode to the beauty of small things, such as a simple hand-thrown mug or bowl, which can brighten life''s daily rituals and make them more meaningful - as well as an inspiring testament to the power of perseverance.
