The Grip of It

Flying may not be all plain sailing, but the fun of it is worth the price. - Amelia Earhart • This fascinating autobiography by one of America's greatest pilots provides unique insights into the life, motivations and achievements of Amelia Earhart • As she recounts the journey which led to her groundbreaking solo flight across the Atlantic in 1932, she provides valuable advice for everyone who struggles to be a woman in a man's world.

At college in 1980s Luton, Robbie Goulding, an Irish-born teenager, meets the elusive Fran Mulvey, an orphaned Vietnamese refugee. Together they form a band. Joined by cellist Sarah-Therese Sherlock and her twin brother Sean on drums, The Ships in the Night set out to chase fame. But the story of this makeshift family is haunted by ghosts from the past • Spanning 25 years, The Thrill of it All rewinds and fast-forwards through an evocative soundtrack of struggle and laughter. Infused with blues, ska, classic showtunes, New Wave and punk, using interviews, lyrics, memoirs and diaries, the tale stretches from suburban England to Manhattan's East Village, from Thatcher-era London to the Hollywood Bowl, from the meadows of the Glastonbury Festival to a wintry Long Island, culminating in a Dublin evening in July 2012, a night that changes everything

As Minister of State at the Foreign Office, Alan Duncan was once described as Boris Johnson’s ‘pooper-scooper’. For two years, he deputised for the then Foreign Secretary, now Prime Minister. Few are more attuned to Boris’s strengths and weaknesses as a minister and his suitability for high office than the man who helped clear up his mistakes • Riotously candid, these diaries cover the most turbulent period in recent British political history – from the eve of the referendum in 2016 to the UK’s eventual exit from the EU. As two prime ministers fall, two general elections unfold and a no-confidence vote is survived, Duncan records a treasure-trove of insider gossip, giving biting and often hilarious accounts of petty rivalries, poor decision-making, big egos, and big crises

НИКОГДА не поздно начать все сначала. И ЕЩЕ РАЗ. Всегда неловко, когда пропадают пять тысяч крон. Когда это происходит в некоем отвратительном отеле на юге Стокгольма, это особенно неловко, потому что деньги принадлежат киллеру, который в настоящее время проживает в седьмом номере. Пер Перссон, администратор отеля, просто хочет заниматься своими делами и, желательно, не быть убитым. Йоханна Кьелландер, временно проживающая в восьмой комнате, является священником без призвания и, по состоянию на прошлую неделю, без прихода. Но прямо сейчас в ее распоряжении есть две вещи: конверт с пятью тысячами крон и отличная идея..."Киллер Андерс и смысл всего этого" с участием одного жестокого убийцы, двух проницательных бизнесменов и множества ящиков молдавского красного вина - возмутительно смешная история от Юнаса Юнассона
