There's no doubt that Tori is winning the game of life. She's inspired millions of women to stick two fingers up at convention with her bestselling memoir, and she has the perfect relationship to boot. But Tori Bailey has been living a lie. Everyone around her is getting married and having babies, but her long-term boyfriend won't even talk about getting engaged. And when her best friend Dee - her plus one, the only person who understands the madness - falls in love, suddenly Tori's in terrifying danger of being left behind.

When the world tells you to be one thing and turning thirty brings with it a loud ticking clock, it takes courage to walk your own path. It's time for Tori to practise what she's preached, but the question is: Everyone is raving about this summer's hottest book: I haven't been this obsessed with a book in years. It could be a life-changing read for many. Once a spirited, independent woman with a rebellious streak, her life has been forever changed by a tragic event twelve years ago.

Unable to let go of her grief, she finds solace in the silent company of the souls of her local Victorian cemetery and at the town's lido, where she seeks refuge underwater - safe from the noise and the pain.

A beautifully crafted tale of love, self-acceptance, and blisters' Sunday ExpressA smart and funny story from the author of The Rosie Project - two misfits walk 2, km along the Camino to find themselves and, perhaps, each other. A novel of second chances and reinvention from Graeme Simsion, and his wife Anne Buist. Optioned for film by Ellen deGeneres, and now an international bestseller. Zoe, a sometime artist, is from California. Martin, an engineer, is from Yorkshire.

Both have ended up in picturesque Cluny, in central France. Both are struggling to come to terms with their recent past - for Zoe, the death of her husband; for Martin, a messy divorce. Looking to make a new start, each sets out alone to walk two thousand kilometres from Cluny to Santiago de Compostela, in northwestern Spain, in the footsteps of pilgrims who have walked the Camino the Way for centuries. The Camino changes you, it's said.

It's a chance to find a new version of yourself, and a new beginning. But can these two very different people find themselves? Will they find each other?

Review: Finding Mr Flood BY Ciara Geraghty

In this smart, funny and romantic journey, Martin's and Zoe's stories are told in alternating chapters by husband-and-wife team Graeme Simsion and Anne Buist. Two Steps Forward is a novel about renewal - physical, psychological and spiritual. It's about the challenge of walking a long distance and of working out where you are going. And it's about what you decide to keep, what you choose to leave behind and what you rediscover along the way.

There are three ways up to Castle View from the town of Castle Rock: Route , Pleasant Road, and the Suicide Stairs. Every day in the summer of twelve-year-old Gwendy Peterson has taken the stairs, which are held by strong if time-rusted iron bolts and zig-zag up the cliffside. At the top of the stairs, Gwendy catches her breath and listens to the shouts of the kids on the playground. From a bit farther away comes the chink of an aluminum bat hitting a baseball as the Senior League kids practice for the Labor Day charity game.

One day, a stranger calls to Gwendy: Come on over here for a bit. We ought to palaver, you and me. On his head is a small neat black hat. The time will come when Gwendy has nightmares about that hat Yet life in the small capital carries on as usual, despite the natural disaster, a shortage of coal and, in the outside world, the Great War grinding on.

Capturing Iceland at a moment of profound transformation, this is the story of a misfit in a place where life and death, reality and imagination, secrets and revelations jostle for dominance.

But that may not be enough to save her from a lethal cocktail of violence. I found Mrs Flood too cold towards her youngest daughter, who did everything for her in the house, so it was nice to see some tender moments between. It is a happy ending when Mrs Flood tells her about the call and how Angel just got back from theatre after the transplant. Great humour and wonderful plot. You are commenting using your WordPress.
