Description: At the beginning of the twentieth century, the Taylor sisters of Spirit Vale are ready to spread their wings. After growing up in a small town
where people are more interested in talking to the dead, the girls are eager to experience a wider, brighter, more exciting world. While Mimi is drawn
into high society, Jane finds herself involved with two men who will change her life dramatically - although in very different ways. When reunited with
the younger three on board the Titanic, the sisters prepare for the voyage of a lifetime without realising their futures hang in the balane. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Description: When Jamie's mysterious art teacher sends him to the old Maskmaker's shop, he is faced with a terrible decision. He must choose a
disguise that will take him into mortal danger, with only a taking cat to help him. In the deserts of Africa, the frozen glaciers of Greenland, and the Great
Wall of China, Jamie will need all his intelligence and courage if he is to save his friends and fmily. Will the perilous tasks he faces help him solve the
strange problems in his own life? Or will a dark web of sorcery stop him from ever coming home again. 'Extremely well written, highly inventive and with
really funny jokes' - Eva Ibbotson. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Description: Set in the tumultuous last year of Leo Tolstoy's life, The Last Station centres on the battle for his soul waged by his wife and his leading
disciple. Torn between his professed doctrine of poverty and chastity on the one hand and the reality of his life of hedonism on the other, Tolstoy
makes a dramatic flight from his home. Too ill to continue beyond the tiny station of Astapovo, he believes he is dying alone, while outside over one
hundred newspapermen are awaiting hourly reports on his condition. Narrated in six different voices, The Last Station is a richly inventive novel that
dances bewitchingly between fact and fiction. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Description: The Winner Stands Alone is the enthralling new novel by the incomparable Paulo Coelho. The story is set during the Cannes
International Film Festival and the entire action plays out over 24 hours. Igor is a wealthy Russian businessman. His wife Ewa left him two years ago
and Igor has never really come to terms with their break up, especially as Ewa is now remarried to a famous fashion designer, Hamid Hussein. Igor is
insanely jealous and when Ewa left him he told her that he would destroy 'whole worlds' in order to get her back, and he intends to keep his promise!
Igor has followed Ewa and her new husband to Cannes and his plan is to cause as much violence and destruction as possible until Ewa realises how
much he loves her and comes back to him. Ewa loved Igor but she was absolutely terrified of him. She knows that Igor has killed people in the past
when he was a soldier, but she also knows a dark secret - that he once cold bloodedly murdered a beggar who was bothering them in a restaurant.
Igor is clearly unhinged and he will stop at nothing to regain her love and so he goes on a ruthless killing spree until he tracks down Ewa...The star-
studded film festival acts as a backdrop to Igor's maniacal murdering spree and we are ntroduced to various characters along the way, all of whom are
desperately trying to get their big break in the shallow world of show business; Gabriela a young and naive actress who is being exploited by her agent
and Jasmine a troubled young Rwandan refugee working as a model.
The Winner Stands Alone is a gripping, fast-paced thriller, and Coelho cleverly weaves in elements of social satire, poking fun at our celebrity and
money obsessed culture. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Description: In his number 1 hardback bestseller, Vince Cable, 'the stage of the credit crunch' ("Daily Telegraph") explains how we got in to this mess
and what it means. In "The Storm", Vincent Cable explains the causes of the world economic crisis and how we should respond to the challenges it
brings. He shows that although the downturn is global, the complacency of the British government towards the huge 'bubble' in property prices and high
levels of personal debt, combined with increasingly exotic and opaque trading within the financial markets, has left Britain badly exposed. Yet we need
to be vigilant in our response to the dangers confronting us. Times of crises inevitably bring forth false prophets who offer easy panaceas and identify
scapegoats. However, Cable shows that an insular response to the current crisis would be a disaster and urges us to resist the siren voices that
promote isolationism and nationalism as the answer to economic woes. He argues that policy makers must keep their faith in liberal markets if the
remarkable advances in living standards, which are now being extended to the world's poorer countries, are to be maintained. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Description: Some secrets are too terrible to reveal ...Some crimes are too unspeakable to solve ...Painter's Creek, Ohio may be a sleepy, rural town
with both Amish and 'English' residents, but it's also the place where a series of brutal murders shattered the lives of an entire community over a
decade ago. When the killing stopped, it left in its aftermath a sense of fragility, and for the young Amish girl, Katie Burkholder, a realization that she
didn't belong. Now, 15 years, two dead parents and a wealth of experience later, Katie has been asked to return as Chief of Police. Her Amish
background combined with her big-city law enforcement expertise make her the perfect candidate. Katie is certain she has come to terms with the past.
Until the first body of a slaughtered young woman is found in a pristine, snowy field... _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Description: Liam Creed seemed like a lost cause. He was excluded from school more times than he can remember, his outbursts got him into
trouble, he faced a constant struggle with medication, and his family were driven to despair. All because he was born with an inability to sit still and
concentrate: Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder. Liam thought his life was destined for failure. Until, one life-changing day, he met a mischievous
bundle of energy called Aero. Aero and Liam developed a special bond. As Liam struggled to train the mischievous dog, for once he didn't feel useless
and afflicted. Against the odds, Liam made an inspirational breakthrough in his own condition and learned to believe in the future. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Description: Struggling with depression, anxiety, illness, an eating disorder, a difficult relationship, fear, self-hatred, addiction or anger? Renowned

Tsultrim seamlessly weaves traditions from Tibet and the Western world to offer a new and unique answer to the problems that plague us: that rather
than attempt to purge them, we need to reverse our approach and nurture our demons. This powerful five-step practice forms a strategy for
transforming negative emotions, relationships, fears, illness and self-defeating patterns. This will help you cope with the inner enemies that undermine
our best intentions. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
