Life On The Limit

 

If you wrote the 1958 Formula One racing season as a movie script, few would believe it. Life On The Limit is a story like no other,

This is a fictionalised account of that dramatic season, but it's more about people than cars. Mike Hawthorn, naturally fast but suffering from health problems while haunted by many other demons. Luigi Musso, a proud Roman of aristocratic background, who's naivety would cause him great trouble. The ever-cheerful Peter Collins, who wasn't at the same level as his team mates but wasn't introspective enough to realise this. Fiamma Breschi, Luigi's girlfriend who knows more about cars than he does. Maria Teresa de Filippis, Luigi's ex-girlfriend and the first woman to race in Formula One - she was 12 laps shy of becoming a legend. Life On The Limit is a story like no other.

It's almost beyond me to attempt to encapsulate the emotions I felt when I read Life On The Limit other than, if you want to do yourself a favour, buy it and read it because it is this good - Chloe Newman, author

I have never read a story as unique, brilliant and unforgettable as Life On The Limit and I doubt I ever will - Mary Parks, author

Life On The Limit is simply marvellous - John Walker, author

The Temple Priestess

Bentreshyt, age 14, is a priestess to Goddess Isis, a role that she feels blessed to have.  One day Bentreshyt decides to practice her singing at the Lotus Garden of the Temple of Men-Maat-Ra, where her life will be changed forever.

Dorothy Eady, age four, wakes up in her bed, wanting to go home.  This confuses Dorothy's parents because that flat in London is Dorothy's home.  Over time Dorothy realises where her real home is, and after a few years Dorothy realises who she might be, but the truth of who she really is won't be revealed for many years.

There are many love stories in books, plays and movies, but few are as strange as the story of Bentreshyt and King Sety – a love that spans 3,200 years.

The Temple Priestess is a remarkable concept brought to life so naturally that I couldn't wait to see how this story was going to play out, because there's no way of guessing where this plot will go. Elise Watts – author.

 The Temple Priestess has a confidence in writing that few authors will ever show, and I am absolutely certain that as this story unfolds, you will be hard-pressed to put it down. Ann Reed – author.

 I thought I had read it all until I read The Temple Priestess, which made me realise there's a place for unusual and great stories. Adam Russell – author

Invisible Chains

 

Melanie Haddad, Australian-born and Arabic-speaking of Lebanese-Christian parents, and a clinical psychologist, knows she can help in the occupied Palestinian territories.  When Melanie accepts a position in Hebron in The West Bank of Palestine, she's warned of the danger there, but not this warning or Melanie's research prepares her for the trauma she will confront and the many risks she will face.

The structure of Invisible Chains drew me into this story in a way I never expected, and it is, by far, the most confronting novel I have ever read. Invisible Chains peels away the gloss and the politics and exposes the truth crystal clear and sharply bright. Elise Watts – author.

Invisible Chains is more than a must-read, it's a story that you won't ever forget. Ann Reed – author.

 It's not possible to read Invisible Chains and not be moved – in short great writing. Nat Pierce – author

Lulu

Reviews of Pandora's Box:

·         What makes G W Pabst’s 1929 film Pandora’s Box (Die Büchse der Pandora) so astonishing is the non-moralistic candour of its ambiguous sexuality and the electrifying presence of a 22-year-old American actress named Louise Brooks.  Based on two plays by Frank Wedekind, the film is a completely modern creation, concentrating on the amorous exploits of Lulu, available to seemingly everyone but possessed by no-one, who manages to bring all of her suitors, male or female, to grief.

·         When all is said and done, I would say Pandora’s Box is a great film, an impressively skilful film, but one that’s very much in debt to the presence of Louise Brooks.  It will probably always be included on lists of the greatest films ever made.  It will probably always enjoy praise.  But it does seem to me that the real cult of the long and gritty Pandora’s Box is actually the cult of Louise Brooks.

·         With Pandora’s Box you forget that it’s black and white.  You forget that the internet has yet to happen.  You forget that more than two hours have gone by.  You forget because it’s completely modern — 100 per cent gripping and involving. 

·         Full of striking imagery which, once seen, will stay with you forever, this is a highly accomplished piece of work which brings together some of the greatest talents of the era. 1929 was a good year for cinema, but amongst its several treasures, Pandora's Box stands out.

·         And yet, seen today, Pandora’s Box is a bold and captivating film and Louise Brooks’ performance simply breathtaking.  Playing the bright, vivacious but totally amoral and curiously vulnerable Lulu, she dominates virtually every scene she appears in.

Although made in 1928 and first screened in 1929, the greatness of Pandora's Box wasn't recognised until 1953, when the acting style of Louise Brooks, quite literally decades ahead of its time, was finally regarded for the triumph that it was. Lulu tells the story of one of the greatest silent movies ever made, and the story of one of the greatest movie actresses of her era. 

I recommend Lulu as a psychological drama that will make you think – five stars.  Kate Baldwin – author.

Lulu is a great novel.  Janet Miller - author

The Young Romantics

 

Now we will write ghost stories – so said Lord Byron in Villa Diodati on the shores of Lake Geneva, on June 17, 1816. Out of this challenge came the beginnings of Frankenstein and the beginnings of the first, modern vampire story. But there is much more to this novel than those two stories.

Mary Shelley, the talented but moody daughter of William Godwin and Mary Wollstonecroft. Percy Shelley, or as he preferred to be known, Shelley – a gifted poet who swept Mary off her feet at the tender age of 16, when they eloped. Claire Clairmont, Mary's step-sister and eight months younger, intelligent with a radical approach to life, and who was the third part of their inverted triangle. Lord Byron, who had fame like a rock star of the time, but because of his many scandals he had to flee England. John Polidori; age 20 and Byron's physician, who wanted to be a writer and thought accompanying Byron on his travels would help with this.

This is the story of these five remarkable young people, thrown together during four days of rain and storm, and all of what followed. It is a story like no other.

The Young Romantics is the best and one of the most unique historical novels I have ever read. I absolutely guarantee that it will keep you enthralled, from the first page to the very last. Elise Watts – author.

Scrupulously researched, beautifully written, it really feels like you are amongst these remarkable people, and their triumphs and tragedies. The Young Romantics is a must-read. Ann Reed – author.

I can't imagine a person who could read The Young Romantics and not be captivated by it. John Hill – author

Friends, Boyfriends and a Sister

 

A coming of age story with a difference. Annette, age 18, moves from her home city of Mutare, in the eastern highlands of Zimbabwe, to the capital Harare, to attend the University of Zimbabwe with her best friend, Michelle, and Michelle's cousin, Eddie. Michelle's other cousin, Emily, a second-year student, helps Annette and Michelle with useful study tips, and just as useful dating tips. Emily also helps Eddie, but as a young male student his dating options are limited.

 Away from home and parents, Annette and Michelle set Harare on fire, although not everything goes as smoothly as it should. Eddie takes Emily's advice and dates a 16 year old schoolgirl, Anesu, from the township of Chitungwiza. Anesu's friend, Allison, and Anesu's younger sister, Zendaya, know if they stay in Chitungwiza or Chi-town, they will end up poor like their parents, which doesn't appeal, but if they date Eddie's friends, like Anesu they won't have enough money for the necessities of life. Allison knows she needs to do something, but what?

 Friends, Boyfriends and a Sister is set in a nation recovering from past political and economic turmoil, while Zimbabwean culture, like all African nations, is now a mix of traditional African values, and Western values from the days of colonialism, which makes life difficult for young women like Annette, Michelle, Anesu, Allison and Zendaya, wanting freedom like women in Western countries, but Zimbabwe isn't quite ready for this.

Friends, Boyfriends and a Sister is unique and it\'s great. Michael Clark – author.

Friends, Boyfriends and a Sister is a great read that I can't recommend highly enough. Alice Mason – author.

Friends, Boyfriends and a Sister is a marvellously entertaining novel. Luke Griffin – author

Poor Girls

 

Rose Juma and her best friend, Susan Biar, have a good life by South Sudanese standards, with their home town of Yirol largely untouched by past wars, especially school which they both attend. But Rose and Susan are tall and beautiful, which ironically works against them.

Alice Murray and Steve Hall, travel to Juba, South Sudan, to raise money to help the women and children of this poor nation. For sure South Sudanese are doing it tough, and women are doing it tougher, but how to get on top of the biggest problem, the marriage of teen girls, eludes Alice until she travels to the town of Yirol. There, the pieces fall into place, but Alice has now put herself and her partner into terrible danger.

Poor Girls is set in a nation already devastated by decades of war when it was formed in 2011, and now is attempting to recover in a world that doesn't do African nations any favours.

Poor Girls is storytelling at its finest, immersing you in a place far away, where you live the triumphs and tragedies of the two key characters, with countless insights, large and small, and endings that totally makes sense. Read Poor Girls because you will not be disappointed. Ann Reed – author.

Put simply, Poor Girls is great storytelling. Mary Parks – author.

Thunderbolt

Australia's Wild West, wilder than anywhere in the world.  Amidst thousands of outlaws over many decades, one stands proud: Fred Ward or Captain Thunderbolt, the gentleman bushranger.  Forced into a life of crime by circumstances, Thunderbolt had a code of honour: be courteous, use minimal violence, only steal from the rich and never steal from ladies.  For seven years Thunderbolt evaded the authorities, helped by the ordinary people of western New South Wales who saw him as one of their own.  Just as remarkable is Thunderbolt's girlfriend Mary.  Raising his children, scouting hold-up locations and even riding with Fred as his lookout.  The police, unable to apprehend Thunderbolt, targeted Mary instead, but always she went back to her man.  The story of Fred and Mary Ward even though outlaws, is a story of love, honour and decency.

Thunderbolt covers many years of Fred Ward or Captain Thunderbolt's life, and much of his outlaw life, making for a sweeping and exhilarating story the likes of which I've never come across before.  You must read this story - five stars.  Alice Pickard – author.

Read Thunderbolt for action, adventure, excitement, love and romance, it has it all.  Chloe Newman – author.

In my opinion this unusual spy story mixed with romance and fashion photography is a must-read for 2021.  Five stars.  Mary Parks – author.

Across The Border

Detective-Sergeant Shui Nuan goes undercover in the nightclubs of her home city, Guangzhou China, to be recruited by triad gangs manufacturing the drug methamphetamine or ice.  Only Nuan doesn't realise her taskforce is infiltrated by the gang she's investigating..


Ma Thi Mai is a young Vietnamese girl abducted into China, first into a fake marriage before being swallowed by organised crime in Guangzhou.  Mai despairs of her future as much as Nuan is unaware of the danger she's in.

Police investigations never travel in straight lines, especially when an undercover operation turns deadly and a teenage girl is trafficked across the border.

The stark realism of Across the Border sets it apart from any crime story I've ever read.  Definitely a must-read.  Ann Reed – author.

Across the Border is fascinating, no question, using well-developed and interesting characters in an exotic setting, with a surprising but also satisfying outcome.  Surely one of the great crime fiction stories of all time.  Kate Baldwin  – author.

Like its predessor Ice, Across The Border is a crime story like no other. Michael Garrick - author.

Ice

Newly graduated from the People's Public Security University in Beijing, police sergeant Shui Nuan returns to her home city of Guangzhou.  There she is appointed to Office 1.10; tasked to take out the leadership of the triad gangs who manufacture the drug methamphetamine or ice.  Real-world policing is vastly different to university studies, while finding love proves to be almost as challenging.  But when Nuan comes face to face with her best friend, now a mistress to a triad gangster, her troubles have only just begun.

Read this story Ice because it does more than investigate a crime.  Ice takes you on a journey to a far away place, it immerses you into a both modern and ancient culture, while the story twists and turns, and suffers setbacks and danger.  Five stars – my book of this year.  Ann Reed – author.

For those who like crime stories with a difference, for those who like exotic and interesting stories, or for those who simply like good stories, I can't recommend Ice highly enough.  Kate Baldwin – author.

Yuejin - Aim High! is historical fiction at its best, telling an incredible and tragic story that few have heard about.  Ignorance, incompetence, pride and callousness all play their parts in this heart-breaking tale - Alice Pickard, author

In Our Memories

In Our Memories is one family's story of loss, suffering, and eventually justice.

By August 1915, the Armenian residents of the city of Urfa know they have few options.  With little to lose they wage war on the Ottoman Army for two months, despite being outnumbered eight to one.  Defeat is inevitable, after which Anoush Hagopian, one of the survivors of the Women's Brigade, gathers her mother and her children for their deportation to Aleppo.

Swiss doctor Paul Lang stands beneath nine young women crucified, while wondering who could do such a thing.  Unable to gather information about atrocities committed against the Armenian people, he decides on a course of action which will change his life.  In a brothel in a backstreet in Aleppo, he finds sixteen year old Karine Hagopian, who tells her story of courage and tragedy.  Together, Paul and Karine set off to find Karine's mother Anoush, but it's far from certain that Anoush survived the attempted extermination of her people.

The more time Paul spends with Karine, the more he's fascinated by her strength, her suffering and her vulnerability.  Equally fascinating is her heritage, which seems to have changed little over the past millennia.  Infatuated by Karine; Paul will devote his life to the rescue of the survivors of this terrible atrocity.

'Unforgettable story of love, loss and bravery.  Highly recommended' – Mary Parks, author of Secret Star.

No Darkness

What started as a work posting to Zimbabwe with his African girlfriend, becomes a life and death struggle against the forces of despot Robert Mugabe.  Michael Page had no idea that a simple misunderstanding would have such tragic consequences.

Set in 1999 when Zimbabwe is in a slow and inexorable decline, and the political scene is disturbed by a new opposition party which has a real chance of democratic victory.  Only a tyrant deliberately destroys his own country in order to retain power and control, and Michael and his girlfriend Cathy become embroiled in what is close to a civil war.  Can they make it out alive?  And even if they do, can they survive the psychological torment they have endured?

Well written, fast paced, wonderful characters, and the fascinating setting of a country in decline turned into a police state.  There is much to like in this interesting hybrid of action, thriller and romance. LaWrence - author of Skipping Stones along the Kitchi Sibri

The Adulterous Bride

Many noble daughters of Venice are consigned to abbeys for want of a dowry.  In 1426, Filipa Barbagio is sent to San Nicolai di Torcello, where she enjoys the hedonistic lifestyle available to her: dressed in the latest fashions, wearing expensive jewellery, attending masquerade balls, entertaining her family and taking men to be her companions.  And then she falls in love.

Dardi Zorzi loves Clario Duodo, but society expects an arranged marriage with sweet Caterina.  Their marriage is difficult at first but gets better over time, especially after the birth of their daughter Lucia.  Tragically Caterina is murdered and Dardi is the prime suspect.  Filipa comforts and helps her oldest and dearest friend, but then Dardi is accused of the most heinous crime of all.  In the aftermath of this terrible denunciation, Filipa risks losing her newly-found love while Dardi risks losing all.

What an amazing story!  Renaissance Venice told from three different points of view: bright, extroverted Filipa Barbarigo who steals every scene she's in, honest and decent Marin Curri, happily married to the wonderful Blanca, and Dardi Zorzi who has to make the best of an almost untenable situation.  Amazing backdrop, amazing story, amazing characters, and the most masterful ending that I have ever come across.  Congratulations.
