Book excerpt: Daydreamers is a novel set in the late 1990s, which follows the parallel stories of two people living in the same Greater London provincial town. They are two very different characters, one male, one female, with one thing in common, a dissatisfaction with their everyday lives, which leads them to seek solace and escape in a private world of fantasies and daydreams. Martin is obsessed with sports trivia and struggles to fit in at his work, where he is bullied, whilst Jacqui is an unmarried mum who suffers at the hands of an abusive partner. The novel charts their respective progress through failed attempts at relationships, raised hopes and disappointments, until a chance social event causes their paths to cross, with the burning question, how will they interact when they finally meet? The novel is one of ordinary lives and a search for true love. It examines the theme of how initial appearances can be deceptive and the need to look under the surface to see what people are really like, and to identify the things which are most important in finding long lasting happiness.

Download or read book Once Again written by Gene Ligotti and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2023-02-08 with total page 287 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In any person of advancing age, I doubt he or she has never said ... Knowing what I know now, I wish I could live my life over again. Foolishness? True, but still ... it’s a nice thought to linger over. The story within this novel, Once Again, relates to that engaging wish. We have two heroes in this novel and both are in the same person. That made the writing difficult at times, but I feel I made it work. Michael and Barth begin as totally different people with different minds sets ... one is a good and decent man and the other cares little for others. He gambles, carouses with women of ill repute, his curses would make a sailor blush and he, at times, hangs out with bottom feeders. Still there is something endearing about him and the two together make an interesting pair. Will this second life turn out differently than the first or does disaster wait. I feel the characters are real and interesting and at times the reader will wonder who is controlling who. As usual in my novels I have taken ordinary people and placed them in extraordinary situations. I doubt that this story line has been used before in this manner and I do hope you enjoy ... One Again.

Download or read book Hannah s Dress written by Pascale Hugues and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2017-05-23 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hannah's Dress tells the dizzying story of Berlin's modern history. Curious to learn more about the city she has lived in for over twenty years, journalist Pascale Hugues investigates the lives of the men, women and children who have occupied her ordinary street during the course of the last century. We see the street being built in 1904 and the arrival of the first families of businessmen, lawyers and bankers. We feel the humiliation of defeat in 1918, the effects of economic crisis, and the rise of Hitler's Nazi party. We tremble alongside the Jewish families, whose experience is so movingly captured in the story of two friends, Hannah and Susanne. When only Hannah is able to escape the horrors of deportation, the dress made for her by Susanne becomes a powerful reminder of all that was lost. In 1945 the street is all but destroyed; the handful of residents left want to forget the past altogether and start afresh. When the Berlin Wall goes up, the street becomes part of West Berlin and assumes a rather suburban identity, a home for all kinds of petite bourgeoisie, insulated from the radical spirit of 1968. However, this quickly changes in the 1970s with the arrival of its most famous resident, superstar David Bowie. Today, the street is as tranquil and prosperous as in the early days, belying a century of eventful, tumultuous history. This engrossing account of a single street, awarded the prestigious 2014 European Book Prize, sheds new light on the complex history not only of Berlin but of an entire continent across the twentieth century.

Download or read book Murder Most Fab written by Julian Clary and published by Random House. This book was released on 2008-09-04 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hello, I'm Johnny Debonair and this is my book - Murder Most Fab. Buy it. You won't regret it. Everything that has happened so publicly is explained. Of course, I'd prefer it if you remember me as I was at my height, before the past caught up with me so spectacularly - TV's Mr Friday Night with an enviable lifestyle and the nation at my feet. My fame might have looked easy to you at the time, but getting to the top of the celebrity ladder is hard work. It took talent, beauty, commitment and, uniquely in my case, a number of unfortunate deaths. If we were being picky you might describe me as a serial killer, but I really don't see myself that way. It sounds trite to say 'one thing led to another' but it's true. As you'll discover I owe something of my rise and my fall to three individuals: my mother, an eccentric country girl who taught me exhibitionism by hanging naked from the clocktower of Hythe town hall; Catherine, my best friend, then partner in business - a devil in red heels, who, in her clear Essex accent, taught me how to 'look after number one'; and Timothy, who broke my heart and caused me to seek refuge in sex, money and celebrity. But in the end you have to take responsibility for your own actions. No one was forcing me, were they? I hope you, the public, can forgive me and enjoy this sordid tale for what it is - my final entertainment for you.
