Though the streets of London may be cleaner and the slums replaced by modern redevelopments, the then-and-now approach of London's Shadows offers a stark reminder that poverty, deprivation and inequality are as problematic today as they were in the 1880s., Drew Gray's book is a fine addition to the literature on urban history at a time when we were learning to live in large communities and experimenting with different ways of doing so., A scholarly work, drawing on a wide range of sources, but it's also very readable. Both Gray and Faber highlight the tremendous social cost of industry that contemporaries recognised but could not remedy.

For the uninitiated, Virgin River is based on the Robyn Carr series of novels. Virgin River is an American romantic drama streaming television series, produced by Reel World Management, filmed in British Columbia, Canada, and based on. This is a book born straight from life lived in Britain below the poverty line - a brutal landscape savaged by universal credit, zero-hours contracts, rising rents and public service funding cuts. In Skint Estate, Cash has found her voice - loud, raw and cutting. Without a stable home, without a steady income, without family support - how do you survive? What had changed? The vulnerable were still at the bottom of the heap, unheard. Years later, she watched Grenfell burn from a women's refuge around the corner. Skint Estate is the hard-hitting, blunt, dignified and brutally revealing debut memoir about impoverishment, loneliness and violence in austerity Britain - set against a grim landscape of sink estates, police cells, refuges and peepshows - skilfully woven into a manifesto for change.Īlone, pregnant and living in a women's refuge, Cash Carraway couldn't vote in the 2010 general election that ushered austerity into Britain.

Once upon a time, John and Kate were deeply in love and built a family as well as a business together. In The Next Wife, readers are introduced to the Nelsons. After all, you’ve not read a true Rouda novel unless you have had the privilege of being inside the minds of her narcissistic and delusional protagonists, an experience this one certainly provides. What’s not to like? I mean, other than the characters who are all generally very crappy people-by design, of course. Kaira Rouda returns once more with another highly entertaining domestic suspense about one family’s secrets, scandals, and disastrous journey to self-implosion.

I received a review copy from the publisher. Audiobook Review: The Next Wife by Kaira Rouda I’m hoping to write at least one more book in the Blindside series. Is it tough to write a “sequel” when you’ve done several other novels in between? Or do you view this more as an installment in a series? The author graciously agreed to answer my questions about Extreme Blindside (and her other fiction for teens, much of which is interconnected). Both books in the series are told from dual points of view, allowing readers to relate to each of the main characters. Wahl shines in creating true-to-life characters with real flaws, yet who have faith and strong family example to guide them along the way.

In Extreme Blindside, Wahl revisits the world of extreme winter sports. Jake and Sophie become an unlikely pair as they puzzle over suspicious occurrences in the town of Silver Springs, Colorado. The series begins with The Perfect Blindside, which follows Jake, a self-described “snowboarding phenom” and teenage Olympian with a chip on his shoulder and his classmate Sophie, a small-town girl who’s proud of it–and who tends to geek out over local history. New this winter from Pauline Books & Media: Extreme Blindside, Leslea Wahl’s second book in the Blindside series.
