| Description: |
An account of a Norwegian scientist's escape from German custody during the Second World War after his arrest for spying. 60 years later, his daughter sets out on foot with her sister to retrace their father's flight from Nazi-occupied Norway, meeting some of the people who helped him along the way. |
| Synopsis: |
"Another Man's Shoes" is a gripping first-hand account of a Norwegian scientist's escape from German custody during the Second World War after his arrest for spying. Written just after the war, Sven Somme vividly describes his 200-mile trek across the mountains, pursued by German soldiers, in a bid to reach Sweden and freedom in 1944. Sixty years later, his daughter Ellie set out on foot with her sister to retrace their father's flight from Nazi-occupied Norway, meeting some of the people who helped him along the way. She recounts the emotional moment when a pair of her father's shoes, exchanged for mountain boots, were returned to her by one family who sheltered him along the way and pays special tribute to her uncle Iacob who was also arrested and later executed. |

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.
