Book excerpt: “A nicely balanced account of marital breakdown in peculiarly difficult circumstances” from the bestselling author of The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel (The Sunday Times). As flirtatious as she is rebellious, Marianne has always wanted out of her hometown of Ashford. And at eighteen, she’s found the perfect man to take her away. Pakistani Salim Siddiqi is ridiculously handsome and stunningly smart. While Marianne waltzes through town in suede miniskirts and knee-high boots (it is the sixties after all), Salim reads Wordsworth and Keats. After their wedding, the honeymoon seems to last forever. But having two children and buying a house reveal differences that become impossible to ignore. Marianne refuses to just stay at home, taking a job at her friend’s catering company, while Salim becomes increasingly jealous and possessive of her time. And when Marianne turns to another man, her life explodes around her. Salim bolts, taking their daughter and son with him back to Pakistan. Legally, there’s little Marianne can do. For years, she desperately fights to regain custody. Adjusting to her new normal isn’t an option as long as her children are caught between two warring parents, two cultures, and two continents . . . “Captures brilliantly the basic incompatibilities and misunderstandings that arise when two people have little knowledge of each other’s culture . . . both funny and moving.” —Sunday Express “A likeable protagonist . . . The themes are those of an ambitious, dynamic novel . . . Absorbing . . . dramatic and disturbing.” —The Guardian

Download or read book The Gold Train written by Ronald W. Zweig and published by Harper Collins. This book was released on 2003-12-16 with total page 358 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1944, the great "Gold Train" headed west from Budapest, carrying gems, cash, furs, carpets, wedding rings, and even gold teeth -- all possessions stripped from Hungarian Jews before their murder. The Gold Train took on a legendary quality even as it steamed out of the station -- hundreds of millions of dollars in assets were on the move, accompanied by cunning, desperate, or gullible passengers trying to reach an illusory Nazi stronghold in the Alps. Drawing on a decade's worth of research into American, Israeli, and European archives, as well as private papers, eyewitness accounts, and other sources, Ronald Zweig tells the full story of the Gold Train. He introduces us to the large cast of players enmeshed in the drama, examines the myths that have developed around the journey, and places this incredible event within the annals of Holocaust and Cold War history, including its impact on restitution policies from the postwar years to today.

Download or read book Song of the Township written by Robbie Hift and published by BookRix. This book was released on 2022-06-28 with total page 142 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The true stories that follow describe what life was like in South Africa towards the end of the Apartheid regime. During the civil war and the struggle for freedom, 'The Song of the Township' is the sound of life – the sound coming from a battle-torn Black school where 1,500 young boys and girls were struggling to find a future. It is the story of the many peoples of our 'Rainbow Nation' who lived in the heart of a very poor township. The story begins in 1987, but one can't help but wonder if the song of the township is not exactly the same 30 years later in 2020! Umlazi Township in Durban is typical of all townships in South Africa. Here we find a quarter of a million African people struggling to survive from one meal to the next. They are caught relentlessly in the grip of protest marches, forced strikes and the ruthless killings of the innocent in the middle of a civil war. All the characters of this book are fictitious and the names of places have been changed but they are based on real people. When King Solomon wrote his immortal words in the Holy Bible, he could have been speaking about one of our little townships: "A time to be born and a time to die. A time to plant and a time to uproot. A time to love and a time to hate. A time for war and a time for peace. For everything under the sun There is a season." (Extract from Ecclesiastes 3:2-8)
