Download or read book Gentle Satan written by Alan Saffron and published by Penguin Group Australia. This book was released on 2009-08-03 with total page 291 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'This book reminded me of The Sopranos' Sydney Morning Herald Abe Saffron was Australia's most notorious underworld figure, for decades known as 'Mr Sin' and the 'King of King's Cross'. His wife called him something different: 'Gentle Satan'. This fascinating memoir by his son Alan tells us why, for the first time revealing the truth about the main and his crimes – both professional and personal. Growing up, Alan counted the money from Abe's brothels and hotels, and frequented his illegal bars and strip clubs, including the famous Les Girls, The Roosevelt and the Pink Pussycat. He describes Abe's corrupt deals with premiers, police commissioners and a prime minister – many of whom he met – as well as the real estate deals that 'legitimised' Abe's fortune. But Alan's most compelling stories are about his own highly volatile relationship with his authoritarian father, and his mother's struggle to deal with Abe's affairs, including the attention he gave to his 'second family', up till his death and beyond. An incredible story of family loyalties, betrayals, illegitimate siblings and contested inheritance, all in the powerful grip of a flawed millionaire patriarch.

Download or read book And Then I Danced in a Yellow Dress written by Tanya Chapman and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2012-08-08 with total page 483 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Forty-something Beverly Brown, who feels as common as her name, embarks on an insightful, and often humorous journey of self-discovery. Along the way she meets Grant, a paraplegic French Canadian, who relights her passion for music and helps her discover things she never realized about herself. But they both know right from the get-go that they only have six weeks before he moves back to Montreal, and he does not believe in long distance relationships. Is it worth the risk to open up her heart again knowing it will soon be broken? Or can she make him change his mind? Theres also Jack, the part-time judge she works with. There is a bit of sexual tension in their friendly relationship that Bev tries hard to ignore. Now Jack has offered her a job in his law firm in the city. It sounds exciting, but also seems a bit more change than she is ready to make. Throw in her needy adult children, her narrow minded family and her manipulative ex-husband and it is easy to see how Bev has locked herself away in her self-made cocoon for so long. This is not a romance, but there is love. It is not religious, but there is spiritual confl ict. It is not a comedy, though there is humor. It is, however, a life changing story of confronting guilt, regret, and unfulfilled dreams, and rediscovering passion and hope for a purpose filled future.

Download or read book Orphan Bachelors written by Fae Myenne Ng and published by Grove Press. This book was released on 2023-05-09 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the bestselling and award-winning author of novels Bone and Steer Toward Rock, Fae Myenne Ng’s Orphan Bachelors is an extraordinary memoir of her beloved San Francisco’s Chinatown and of a family building a life in a country bent on their exclusion In pre-Communist China, Fae Myenne Ng’s father memorized a book of lies and gained entry to the United States as a stranger’s son, evading the Exclusion Act, an immigration law which he believed was meant to extinguish the Chinese American family. During the McCarthy era, he entered the Confession Program in a failed attempt to salvage his marriage only to have his citizenship revoked to resident alien. Exclusion and Confession, America’s two slamming doors. As Ng’s father said, “America didn’t have to kill any Chinese, the Exclusion Act ensured none would be born.” Ng was her parents' precocious first born, the translator, the bossy eldest sister. A child raised by a seafaring father and a seamstress mother, by San Francisco’s Chinatown and its legendary Orphan Bachelors--men without wives or children, Exclusion’s living legacy. She and her siblings were their stand-in descendants, Ng’s family grocery store their haven. Each Orphan Bachelor bequeathed the children their true American inheritance. Ng absorbed their suspicious, lonely, barren nature; she found storytelling and chosen children in the form of her students. Exclusion’s legacy followed her from the back alleys of Chinatown in the 60s, to Manhattan in the 80s, to the high desert of California in the 90s, until her return home in the 2000s when the untimely deaths of her youngest brother and her father devastated the family. A a child, Ng believed her father’s lies; as an adult, she returned to her childhood home to write his truth. Orphan Bachelors weaves together the history of one family, lucky to exist and nevertheless doomed; an elegy for brothers estranged and for elders lost; and insights into writing between languages and teaching between generations. It also features Cantonese profanity, snakes that cure fear and opium that conquers sorrow, and a seemingly immortal creep of tortoises. In this powerful remembrance, Fae Myenne Ng gives voice to her valiant ancestors, her bold and ruthless Orphan Bachelors, and her own inner self, howling in Cantonese, impossible to translate but determined to be heard.

Download or read book Goodbye To Boleyn written by Pete May and published by Biteback Publishing. This book was released on 2016-11-10 with total page 183 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Essex scribe and literary Hammer Pete May writes with humour and eloquence about the most turbulent year of change at the Boleyn since Ken's Café got a tub of Flora." Phill Jupitus West Ham's final season at the Boleyn Ground was always going to be memorable. It featured a new manager in Slaven Bilic, the arrival of a French magician called Dimitri Payet and away wins at Arsenal, Liverpool and Man City - not to mention an unexpected tilt at the top four and an epic last game at the Boleyn against Man United. But a new beginning is around the corner and, as he and his fellow Hammers prepare to swap the gritty East End streets of E13 for the shiny shopping centres of Stratford, lifelong supporter Pete May reflects on the special place the Boleyn Ground has occupied in the hearts of generations of Irons fans. Whether it's the infamous chants of the Bobby Moore Stand, the pre-match fry-ups at Ken's Café or the joys of sticky carpets, rubbish ale and blokes singing on pool tables in the pubs around Upton Park, Pete's memories are sure to resonate with legions of the claret-and-blue army as they say farewell to the Boleyn and enter a new era at the London Stadium.

Download or read book APPLE written by Colin Padgett and published by Troubador Publishing Ltd. This book was released on 2018-11-20 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The family holiday is something to look forward to, but what if you are already twelve years old and going on holiday with your immediate family for the first time? And what if one important member of the family is not there – except in everyone’s memories and emotions? Victoria Darwen finds herself in just such a situation and, although her father and older brother do their best to help, they have their own lives and experiences to manage as well. Everything a person could wish for on holiday is at her family’s disposal: a nice, old house in a British seaside resort, a yappy dog next door and a kind-hearted neighbour just down the hill, but “family” and emotions complicate things. And not just that. The house – or, at least, the land around it – has some interesting history that soon begins to intrude into Victoria’s everyday life. Is she experiencing something “supernatural” or are her heightened emotions making her see things in a particular way? Whatever the truth may be, she finds herself having to cope with it by herself – at least until a little help comes from a slightly unexpected source. APPLE is simply about an ordinary girl, centred on everyday events and emotions, but pressure is generated by something that may be supernatural or may just be the projection of the stresses and strains caused as we interact with each other and the world we live in. Young readers aged 12+ will relate to the central character and be intrigued as they try to work out what’s real and what is imagined in this atmospheric read.
