Book Reviews Gig – Simon Armitage In his second volume of autobiographical work Simon Armitage explores how music has shaped his life and particularly his career as a poet and frustrated rock star. Part history, part autobiography with some poetry and songs, this book is full of amusing anecdotes, funny stories (mostly at Armitage’s expense), witty jokes and reviews of memorable gigs he’s attended from The Wedding Present at the Holmfirth Picturedome to a cancelled Oasis gig and even Jose Carreras at Huddersfield Stadium! You’ll love this if you’ve read Armitage’s earlier book ‘All Points North’. It will also appeal if you like ‘Cider with Roadies’ by Stuart Maconie or the recent ‘Thank You for the Days’ by Mark Radcliffe. Burnt Shadows - Kamila Shamsie “How did it come to this?” wonders a mysterious man in the prologue. It’s a question that isn’t answered until the final pages of this thoroughly gripping novel that spans nearly 60 years of global history. Beginning on 9 August 1945, Hiroko Tanaka survives the ! horrific bombing of Nagasaki. The bomb claims the life of her fiancée Konrad and leaves her with horrific burns on her back. Left with nothing Hiroko decides to track down Konrad’s estranged sister Elizabeth Burton, and so begins a lifelong bond between Hiroko and Elizabeth. Sometimes a little contrived. Hiroko seems at the centre, or very near to several major events in history, culminating with the post 9/11 raids into Afghanistan. However the book is so beautifully written and readable that all this can be forgiven. This book will keep you enthralled from its amazingly powerful opening chapter right to its shocking and heartbreaking conclusion. What I Saw and How I Lied – Judy Blundell World War II is drawing to an end and for fifteen-year-old Evie Spooner this means the eagerly awaited return of her stepfather Joe. Planning to enjoy the rest of their summer together the Spooner family take a long due trip to Florida, it’s here that they meet Peter- a handsome young G.I. who served with Joe in the war. Against a backdrop of faded Palm Beach glamour Evie falls for Peter unaware of the secrets, lies, Thanks to Chorlton Bookshop download the latest edition at www.communityindex.co.uk If you’d like to write a film or DVD review please get in touch! 9 passion, intrigue and racism that surround them. However there is more than teen romance to this stunning film noir-esque novel as Evie soon discovers the shocking truth about the people she loves and is forced to make painful adult choices. Manchester Then and Now – Jonathan Schofield This is a fantastic visual guide to Manchester, past and present. The book features historic photographs of Manchester, paired with specially commissioned contemporary views taken from the same vantage point or as near as possible in the modern city. One of the most striking sets of pictures are those of the 1996 IRA bombing. It really brings home the damage caused and the amazing fact that nobody was killed. The huge redevelopment of the old Salford docks is shown in great detail. Chorlton Green and Didsbury high street are also featured. This is a fascinating glimpse into some long forgotten corners of Manchester. At £12.99 it’s also great value and would make an excellent present.
