Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'It's not the leaving of Liverpool that's grieving me, but my darling when I think of thee...' It is a cold February night in 1925 when two teenage sisters - Mollie and Annemarie Kenny - escape from their home in a tiny Irish village. Their beloved mother has died and the girls have suffered shocking abuse at the hands of their doctor father. With sensitive, creative Annemarie so traumatised she can barely remember her name, Mollie decides they should make a new life for themselves and she takes her younger sister to Liverpool where they will board a ship to New York. There, she thinks, they will be safe. But the smallest, cruellest twist of fate conspires to separate the girls just as the boat is about to sail, leaving Mollie stranded in Liverpool and Annemarie at the mercy of strangers in America. The subsequent paths of their lives could not be more different. Annemarie discovers her future, her fortune and her raison d'être on Broadway, while Mollie, devastated by guilt and grief at the loss of her sister, eventually carves out a life of family, hearth and home in Liverpool, a city of warmth and humour that she grows to love. As the 1920s make way for the Depression and the edgy 1930s, the spectre of another war looms. The Second World War will separate many more people from their loved ones, but, as Mollie sees in the cheerful, stoical camaraderie of blitzed Liverpool, it can also bring people together...

Download or read book The Persistence of Memory written by Jessica Moody and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2020 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Persistence of Memory is a history of the public memory of transatlantic slavery in the largest slave-trading port city in Europe, from the end of the 18th century into the 21st century; from history to memory. Mapping this public memory over more than two centuries reveals the ways in which dissonant pasts, rather than being 'forgotten histories', persist over time as a contested public debate. This public memory, intimately intertwined with constructions of 'place' and 'identity', has been shaped by legacies of transatlantic slavery itself, as well as other events, contexts and phenomena along its trajectory, revealing the ways in which current narratives and debate around difficult histories have histories of their own. By the 21st century, Liverpool, once the 'slaving capital of the world', had more permanent and long-lasting memory work relating to transatlantic slavery than any other British city. The long history of how Liverpool, home to Britain's oldest continuous black presence, has publicly 'remembered' its own slaving past, how this has changed over time and why, is of central significance and relevance to current and ongoing efforts to face contested histories, particularly those surrounding race, slavery and empire.

Download or read book Ring of Fire written by Simon Hughes and published by Random House. This book was released on 2016-08-25 with total page 432 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Following the success of Simon Hughes’ Red Machine and Men in White Suits, books which depicted Liverpool FC’s domination during the 1980s and its subsequent fall in the 1990s, Ring of Fire focuses on the 2000s and the primary characters who propelled Liverpool to the forefront of European football once again. With a foreword by Steven Gerrard, this is the third edition in a bestselling series based on revealing interviews with former players, coaches and managers. For Liverpool FC, entry into the 21st century began with modernisation and trophies under manager Gérard Houllier and development was then underpinned by improbable Champions League glory under Rafael Benítez. Yet that is only half of the story. The decade ended with the club being on the verge of administration after the shambolic reign of American owners, Tom Hicks and George Gillett. In Ring of Fire, Hughes’ interviewees – including Jamie Carragher, Xabi Alonso and Michael Owen – take you through Melwood’s training ground gates and into the inner sanctum, the Liverpool dressing room. Each person delivers fascinating insights into the minds of the players, coaches and boardroom members as they talk frankly about exhilarating highs and excruciating lows, from winning cups in Cardiff and Istanbul to the political infighting that undermined a succession of managerial reigns. Ring of Fire tells the real stories: those never told before by the key players who lived through it all.

Book excerpt: An uplifting contemporary romantic comedy driven by four characters, Outside Lola's is set in Andalucia. Redundant, now separated, life has fizzled out for Jack, so it's off to Mojacar to stay with old friend Robert. After a chance encounter with two Spaniards on the beach, Beatriz lights up his world and moves him in a way he'd not foreseen. Increasingly seduced by a shot at new romance, he has to weigh this against news of his wife's health concerns. When they have to leave behind the Alhambra to rescue the hapless Robert and Alfredo from their habitual incompetence, they're drawn ever closer - but can he throw off the shackles from thirty years of marital repression and will Robert ever discover anything he's good at? Set in the summer of 2018 and played out to a backdrop of Almeria's cinematic heritage and Andalucian history, culture and landscape, Outside Lola's is an optimistic story of relationships, of recovery and discovery. Sometimes poignant, often darkly humorous, it highlights the way our lives are shaped by chance. The nature of the story and its range of locations make Outside Lola's a good choice for holiday reading, or increasingly as a nostalgic look back at a time when we could fly to sunnier climes!
