| Synopsis: |
Summer 1924: On the eve of a glittering Society party, by the lake of a grand English country house, a young poet takes his life. The only witnesses, sisters Hannah and Emmeline Hartford, will never speak to each other again. Winter 1999: Grace Bradley, 98, one-time housemaid of Riverton Manor, is visited by a young director making a film about the poet's suicide. Ghosts awaken and memories, long-consigned to the dark reaches of Grace's mind, begin to sneak back through the cracks. A shocking secret threatens to emerge; something history has forgotten but Grace never could. A thrilling mystery and a compelling love story, "The House at Riverton" will appeal to readers of Ian McEwan's "Atonement", L.P. Hartley's "The Go-Between", and lovers of the film "Gosford Park". |

The Business
Imelda Dooley is scared. She's pregnant and on her own. Her father, not a man to mess with, will see that somebody pays for this. So Imelda Dooley tells a lie. A lie that literally causes murders. When Mary Dooley's husband is killed, she knows she must graft to keep the family afloat. But she still has to watch her daughter's life spiral into a vicious, hate-fuelled cycle of drugs and prostitution. Set in the East End of London from the tail-end of the seventies up until the present-day, 'The Business' is a tale of drugs, prostitution and a young girl's fight for survival, against all the odds.

A Food Lover's Treasury
This is a book about food, and the food that's in books. Tucked away in many great literary works are essential truths on the subject of consumption: that someone is always disappointed when a tart is halved; that roasted udder is best kept a once-in-a-lifetime experience; and that toast is criminally under-appreciated. Other less well-known truths include the fact that kippers can be cooked on an iron; gravy expectation is high amongst commercial gentlemen; and every child at some time sees their name written in treacle.
