Winner of the 1998 Whitbread Biography of the Year Award. Georgiana Spencer became Duchess of Devonshire in 1774 and proceeded to become the undisputed queen of fashionable society, an influential hostess and an important figure in the Whig party. Yet her story is one of cruel disappointments and personal suffering. Adored as she was by the public at large, she was incapable of satisying her husband, who preferred instead her best friend. Adept at negoiating, fund-raising and socializing for the benefit of the Whigs, she could not manage her own extravagances, which brought insurmountable debts and ignominy, or her search for love, which brought pain and disgrace. Thsi is a penetrating, beautifully written account of one of the great figures of the late eighteenth century, an icon in her own time and a fascinating foil for our own.

-: Pan, 2011. Paperback. Good. -. John Carr, aka Oliver Stone-once the most skilled assassin his country ever had-stands in Lafayette Park in front of the White House, perhaps for the last time. The president has personally requested that Stone serve his country again on a high-risk, covert mission. Though he`s fought for decades to leave his past career behind, Stone has no choice but to say yes. Then Stone`s mission changes drastically before it even begins. It`s the night of a state dinner honoring the British prime minister. As he watches the prime minister`s motorcade leave the White House that evening, a bomb is detonated in Lafayette Park, an apparent terrorist attack against both leaders. It`s in the chaotic aftermath that Stone takes on a new, more urgent assignment; find those responsible for the bombing. British MI-6 agent Mary Chapman becomes Stone`s partner in the search for the unknown attackers. But their opponents are elusive, capable, and increasingly lethal; worst of all, it seems that the park bombing may just have been the opening salvo in their plan. With nowhere else to turn, Stone enlists the help of the only people he knows he can trust; the Camel Club. Yet that may be a big mistake. In the shadowy worlds of politics and intelligence, there is no one you can really trust. Nothing is really what it seems to be. And Hell`s Corner truly lives up to its name. This may be Oliver Stone`s and the Camel Club`s last stand. --> Genre: Crime Mystery, Pan, 2011, 2.5, JIST Works, 2000-06. Paperback. Good., JIST Works, 2000-06, 2.5, Collins, UK, 2006. Paperback.

Set in Ireland and Birmingham, this is the latest from emerging star of the genre Anne Bennett. Carmel Duffy is the eldest child of a brutal and abusive marriage, and she can't wait to leave home. She's equally determined to have no husband or children of her own - what she wants more than anything is to be a nurse. As soon as she turns eighteen, she heads for Birmingham and begins her training. With her beautiful auburn curls, she draws plenty of attention and her resolve to concentrate on her career is tested, when Dr Paul Winstanley comes onto her ward and into her life. Gradually he wins her heart, and they agree to marry, both certain that they want no children. They have valuable jobs to do - all the more so when World War Two looms. But those years will change everything: their relationship, their priorities, their very characters. Carmel will find that the future is very different to the one she thought she wanted for so long... *** Quantity Available: 1. Category: Fiction; Romance & Women's Fiction; ISBN/EAN: 9780007888443.

Then real life got in the way when she left college and returned to her small Michigan hometown to care for her sick mother.Years later, stuck in a dead-end job and an unsatisfying relationship, Winnie has concluded that dreams were meant for others. She consoles herself with binge-watching the British television series that she loves, Beauchamp Hall, enthralled by the sumptuous period drama set on a great Norfolk estate in the 1920s. The rich upstairs-downstairs world brilliantly brought to life by superb actors is the ultimate in escapism. On the day Winnie is passed over for a long-overdue promotion, she is also betrayed by her boyfriend and her best friend. Heartbroken, she makes the first impulsive decision of her conventional lifewhich changes everything.She packs her bags and flies to England to see the town where Beauchamp Hall is filmed. The quaint B & B where she stays feels like home. The brother and sister who live in the castle where the show is filmed, rich in titles but poor in cash, are more like long-lost friends than British nobility. And the show itself, with its colorful company and behind-the-scenes affairs, is a drama all its own. Winnie's world comes alive on the set of the show.What happens next is the stuff of dreams, as Winnie takes the boldest leap of all. Beauchamp Hall reminds us to follow our dreams. . . .
