Book Synopsis Take a Girl Like You by : Kingsley Amis
Download or read book Take a Girl Like You written by Kingsley Amis and published by New York Review of Books. This book was released on 2015-04-28 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Take a Girl Like You may well be Kingsley Amis’s most ambitious reckoning with the serious subject at the heart of his work: the sheer squalor—emotional, material, sexual, you name it—of modern life. It also introduces one of the rare unqualified good guys in Amis’s rogue-ridden world: Jenny Bunn, a girl from the (English) north country come south to teach school in a small smug town where she hopes to find love and fortune. Jenny is a beauty and men and women are crazy about her, most of all handsome Patrick Standish, who Jenny also likes. But Jenny and Patrick live in a world where it’s becoming ridiculously difficult—disastrously difficult—to sort out the claims of sex and the claims of love.

Book excerpt: Against the backdrop of an elegant Cornwall mansion before World War II and a vast continent-spanning canvas during the turbulent war years, this involving story tells of an extraordinary young woman's coming of age, coming to grips with love and sadness, and in every sense of the term, coming home... In 1935, Judith Dunbar is left behind at a British boarding school when her mother and baby sister go off to join her father in Singapore. At Saint Ursula's, her friendship with Loveday Carey-Lewis sweeps her into the privileged, madcap world of the British aristocracy, teaching her about values, friendship, and wealth. But it will be the drama of war, as it wrenches Judith from those she cares about most, that will teach her about courage...and about love. Teeming with marvelous, memorable characters in a novel that is a true masterpiece, Rosamunde Pilcher's Coming Home is a book to be savored, reread, and cherished forever.

Book excerpt: In the spirit of Ruth Hogan and Adriana Trigiani, bestselling British author Debbie Johnson brings us the ultimate in “happy tears”: a heartfelt story about a woman seizing the chance to reconnect with her lost love. The truth changes everything. For years Jess believed that Joe—the father of her child and the only man she ever loved—had abandoned her during her greatest time of need. That belief nearly destroyed her. Seventeen years later, when cleaning out her mother’s house, Jess unpacks a box of cards and letters hidden in the attic and makes a discovery that changes everything about life as she knows it. Shaken but empowered, Jess—and her two stalwart best friends—set out on a remarkable journey to follow a set of faded postmarks around the world. Is Joe still alive? Does he know that Jess never forgot him? Maybe their love story isn’t over. Maybe one day they’ll find each other again…
Book Synopsis Gin and the English by : Paul Jennings
Download or read book Gin and the English written by Paul Jennings and published by Liverpool University Press. This book was released on 2024-08-21 with total page 157 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book charts the history of gin from its arrival in England in the sixteenth century to the present day. In doing so it uses a range of perspectives: economic, social, cultural and political to give a rounded picture of how the spirit developed in the way it did over some 400 years. It looks at how gin’s popularity has ebbed and flowed over the centuries among different groups in society. It is therefore concerned with the drinkers of gin and why they chose it and at the meanings which they attached to its consumption. Gin was particularly popular with women and the spirit is often associated with them, in phrases like Mother’s Ruin. This also alerts us to the fact that gin has often had a bad press, never more so than in the infamous Gin Craze of the first half of the eighteenth century, so vividly depicted in Hogarth’s Gin Lane. The book attempts to tell something of the real history of gin beneath the frequent condemnation. It ends with the resurgence of gin’s popularity with the emergence of so-called designer gins in the twenty-first century.

Download or read book As She Likes It written by Penny Gay and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2002-03-11 with total page 221 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As She Likes It is the first attempt to tackle head on the enduring question of how to perform those unruly women at the centre of Shakespeare's comedies. Unique amongst both Shakespearian and feminist studies, As She Likes It asks how gender politics affects the production to the comedies, and how gender is represented, both in the text and on the stage. Penny Gay takes a fascinating look at the way Twelfth Night, The Taming of the Shrew, Much Ado About Nothing, As You Like It and Measure for Measure have been staged over the last half a century, when perceptions of gender roles have undergone massive changes. She also interrogates, rigorously but thoughtfully, the relationship between a male theatrical establishment and a burgeoning feminist approach to performance. As illuminating for practitioners as it will be enjoyable and useful for students, As She Likes It will be critical reading for anyone interested in women's experience of theatre.

Book Synopsis Sort of a Cricket Story by : Srikumar Menon
Download or read book Sort of a Cricket Story written by Srikumar Menon and published by Notion Press. This book was released on 2019-06-26 with total page 239 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Set in the Delhi of the swinging seventies and with the University Cricket Final as its backdrop, Sort of a Cricket Story tells the tale of three friends and their exploits on and off the cricket field culminating in the one grim tragedy that destroys their friendship and their lives. The cricket match, so integral to the plot, is set in the ‘present’ and ebbs and flows through the book. The story of the three friends, built around the cricket match, their backgrounds, their strengths and failings and their hopes and aspirations, is narrated in a series of flashbacks, seen through the eyes of one of the protagonists. Several vignettes on life in Delhi during the seventies are sprinkled liberally across the book – from Jawa Motorcycles and their silencer scraping turns to ragging in the hostels, from Pushers and druggies to Dabi games in the University coffee house and from the whores to the hoods - the Dadas and the musclemen. Sort of a Cricket Story is a walk down memory lane to the Delhi of that period – the Delhi of the Discos, the music bands, the long hair, the bellbottoms and the hash!
Book Synopsis What Would the Spice Girls Do? by : Lauren Bravo
Download or read book What Would the Spice Girls Do? written by Lauren Bravo and published by Random House. This book was released on 2018-10-18 with total page 183 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The perfect gift for the Spice Girls fan in your life! ‘Lauren Bravo is one of my very favourite writers.’ Dolly Alderton 'A joyous and energetic celebration of girlhood, friendship and pop culture. If you have ever sung into the lid of a can of Impulse body spray, you need to read this.' Daisy Buchanan The words 'girl power' conjure vivid memories of short skirts and platform boots. But it wasn't just about the look, it was about feminism. The Spice Girls gave a generation their first glimpse of the power of friendship, of staying true to yourself, of sheer bloody-mindedness. And the girl power generation went on to kick-start a new conversation around gender equality. We may have grown up asking What Would the Spice Girls Do?, but their particular brand of feminism is as relevant today as it was twenty years ago – we still need that fun and fearlessness, we still need accessible and all-embracing equality... we still need a zig-a-zig-ah. ‘The Spice Girls’ arrival on the pop scene marked the gateway to a modern form of feminism, all dressed up as a riotously good time.’ Stylist As featured in Elle magazine's Best Feminist Gift Books

Download or read book Wanderlust written by Jane Pearce and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2013-09-25 with total page 319 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is the true story of my quest to live as a free spirit for a year of my life, mentally, physically and sexually. The year is 1975, I was 24 and I had abandoned a marriage and walked away from a secure job as a BBC make-up artist. Where in the modern world would I find the wide open horizons that I sought? How would I live? Would I share the adventure? The ocean, a boat and an open relationship provided my answers. Travelling with no fixed itinerary, no advance reservations, no return ticket and no fixed destination. We became true free spirits open to the dictionarys definition of adventure: one who lives on his wits. Risk. A remarkable happening.' My mood was at odds with the rest of the country. After the previous years three day week, strikes and Harold Wilsons minority government, Britain was bracing itself for Denis Healeys tough new budget. I was about to sail away from all this, but what lay ahead could be much worse and certainly carried more risk. Restless, excited, optimistic and definitely naive I did it anyway. There is a phrase, "be careful what you wish for as it might come true"
