The remarkable thing about Shakespeare is that he really is very good, in spite of all the people who say he is very good.

They served it ice cold in Alex pale amber Rheingold beer in tall, dewy glasses. This is the image that haunts Captain George Anson. Stationed in the North African desert just before the fall of Tobruk, an ice cold lager seems a million miles away. When Anson is detailed to escort two nursing sisters to Alexandria, it looks as though his wish is finally about to come true a routine assignment, with a lager at the end of it as his reward. But what starts out as a routine journey soon becomes an epic. Forced to drive further and further south in order to escape the advancing German Army, Anson and his small party are soon on the edge of the Great Sand Sea. As they battle with the physical agonies of a six hundred mile drive through the desert it soon becomes apparent that each member of the group has his own private struggles to resolve. Not only that, but with a Nazi agent in their midst, it is clear that not all of them are going to ...

Persuasion
is the ultimate novel of love lost and regained. By turns achingly sad and intensely romantic, it’s a Cinderella story for anyone who’s ever felt overlooked – or anyone who’s ever had their heart broken…
Eight years ago, Anne Elliot and Frederick Wentworth fell head over heels in love. But Anne’s family put a stop to their engagement, believing he wasn’t good enough for her. Pretty, intelligent Anne soon realises she’s made a terrible mistake. Then Captain Wentworth walks back into her life again. Can he forgive her? Does he still love her? And could they ever be happy, after all this time?

Jane Eyre - Penguin Red Classics

Charlotte Bronte's first published novel, "Jane Eyre" was immediately recognised as a work of genius when it appeared in 1847. Orphaned into the household of her Aunt Reed at Gateshead, subject to the cruel regime at Lowood charity school, Jane Eyre nonetheless emerges unbroken in spirit and integrity. How she takes up the post of governess at Thornfield Hall, meets and loves Mr. Rochester, and discovers the impediment to their lawful marriage are elements in a story that transcends melodrama to portray a woman's passionate search for a wider and richer life than that traditionally accorded to her sex in Victorian society.
First published 1847.

A landmark in feminist literature, THE WOMEN'S ROOM is a biting social commentary of a world gone silently haywire. Written in the 1970s but with profound resonance today, this is a modern allegory that offers piercing insight into the social norms accepted blindly and revered so completely. 'Today's desperate housewives" eat your heart out! This is the original and still the best, a page-turner that makes you think. Essential reading' Kate Mosse 'They said this book would change lives - and it certainly changed mine' Jenni Murray 'Reading THE WOMEN'S ROOM was an intense and wonderful experience. It is in my DNA' Kirsty Wark 'THE WOMEN'S ROOM took the lid off a seething mass of women's frustrations, resentments and furies; it was about the need to change things from top to bottom; it was a declaration of independence' OBSERVER

Of Mice & Men

Paperback
Author:
John Steinbeck
Published by:

The compelling story of two outsiders striving to find their place in an unforgiving world.
Drifters in search of work, George and his simple-minded friend Lennie, have nothing in the world except each other and a dream - a dream that one day they will have some land of their own. Eventually they find work on a ranch in California's Salinas Valley, but their hopes are doomed as Lennie, struggling against extreme cruelty, misunder- standing and feelings of jealousy, becomes a victim of his own strength. Tackling universal themes; friendship and a shared vision, and giving voice to America's lonely and dispossessed, Of Mice and Men has proved one of Steinbeck's most popular works, achieving success as a novel, a Broadway play and three acclaimed films.
‘A thriller, a gripping tale that you will not set down until it is finished. Steinbeck has touched the quick’ – The New York Times
