Download or read book For Faughie s Sake written by Laura Marney and published by Saraband. This book was released on 2014-03-15 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the sequel to Laura Marney’s bestseller, ‘No Wonder I Take a Drink’, we find Trixie – a boozy unsentimental loner – desperate to escape Inverfaughie, the small Highland village she’s relocated to. When Hollywood visits the introspective community to make a movie about the Highland Clearances, local conflicts are quick to follow. An ancient document is unearthed, which authenticates Faughie’s independence from Scotland and Great Britain, meaning a referendum is on the cards and Trixie will have to decide where her loyalties lie. ‘For Faughie’s Sake’ takes a sideways approach to politics and community – and the absurd propaganda and partisan Machiavellian intrigue that often goes with them. It’s a light-hearted, sometimes gleeful, celebration of contemporary Scottish life.

Elvis Presley and Graceland were fixtures in Ginger Alden’s life; after all, she was born and raised in Memphis, Tennessee. But she had no idea that she would play a part in that enduring legacy. For more than three decades Ginger has held the truth of their relationship close to her heart. Now she shares her unique story… In her own words, Ginger details their whirlwind romance—from first kiss to his stunning proposal of marriage. And for the very first time, she talks about the devastating end of it all and the fifty thousand mourners and reporters who descended on Graceland in 1977, exposing Ginger to the reality of living in the spotlight of a short yet immortal life. Above it all, Ginger rescues Elvis from the hearsay, rumors, and tabloid speculations of his final year by shedding a frank yet personal light on a very public legend. From a unique and intimate perspective, she reveals the man—complicated, romantic, fallible, and human—behind the myth, a superstar worshipped by millions and loved by Ginger Alden. INCLUDES PHOTOS

Book excerpt: When Ruth and Gray meet as children while their parents play at being adults in a rackety old Bohemian house, an electricity passes between them that neither will ever forget. Their paths soon separate as Gray moves to Paris with his girlfriend, and Ruth finds Liam, a sensible and long-suffering friend with whom she falls in love. But Ruth's eccentric upbringing lingers into adulthood. Affected by her old Aunt Jane's passion for poetry, Ruth embarks on a comprehensive book of Twentieth Century poets' lives. Soon, Ruth's thoughts become haunted by the lives of the poets and dreamers she writes about, as the self-destructive talents of Emily Dickinson, Robert Frost and Philip Larkin begin to influence her in unexpected ways. Until one day, she meets Gray, and their historic chemistry is fired up once again. Joughin's exquisite sense of place, her comic eye and wry, erotic prose are prime ingredients in this page-turning novel full of vivid characters, elegance and humanity.
