With humor and sincerity, Yousafzai describes his life before the Talibanization of Mingora, scenes of his sons Khusal and Atal fighting kites on the roof, his progressive partnership with his wife Toor Pekai, and the challenge of raising children in an unfamiliar country. After Malala was shot by the Taliban, the Yousafzai family was completely uprooted from their home in the Swat Valley and forced to start over in the United Kingdom. Now, Ziauddin expresses the complex pain and joy of his return, six years later, to the site of Malala’s attack. Let Her Fly is an intimate family portrait by the father of one of the most remarkable leaders in the world today. Ziauddin and Toor Pakai have set a singular example for parents who hope to empower their children to make a difference. Let Her Fly will resonate with anyone who has ever cared for a child, as Ziauddin Yousafzai shares what he’s learned from his children, and what he hopes to teach the world. The Great Wide Open By douglas Kennedy It’s 1980s New York. Heady, excessive times. Alice Burns - a young book editor - is deep into a manuscript about the morass of family life. The observations resonates, perhaps because she has just watched her own family implode. As she reads she wonders: When did the sadness start? And could it be that unhappiness is a choice? Thus begins a great American epic which follows Alice as she navigates high school bullying, first love and sexism at an elite college, a spell in 1970’s Ireland, and a tragedy that sends her stateside as the US embraces a cowboy actor named Reagan. But it is also the tale of her endlessly complex parents and brothers; how their destinies are written by the lies they tell themselves and others. The Great Wide Open is an immensely ambitious and compulsive saga; a novel which will speak volumes to anyone who has marvelled at that pain that can only be caused by family itself.

Gillham A powerful and deeply humane new novel that asks the question: What if Anne Frank survived the Holocaust? The year is 1945, and Anne Frank is sixteen years old. Having survived the concentration camps, but lost her mother and sister, she reunites with her father, Pim, in newly liberated Amsterdam. But it’s not as easy to fit the pieces of their life back together. Anne is adrift, haunted by the ghosts of the horrors they experienced, while Pim is fixated on returning to normalcy. Her beloved diary has been lost, and her dreams of becoming a writer seem distant and pointless now. As Anne struggles to overcome the brutality of memory and build a new life for herself, she grapples with heartbreak, grief, and ultimately the freedom of forgiveness. A story of trauma and redemption, Annelies honors Anne Frank’s legacy as not only a symbol of hope and perseverance, but also a complex young woman of great ambition and heart. Anne Frank is a cultural icon whose diary painted a vivid picture of the Holocaust and made her an image of humanity in one of history’s darkest moments. But she was also a person—a precocious young girl with a rich inner life and tremendous skill as a writer. In this masterful new novel, David R. Gillham explores with breathtaking empathy the woman—and the writer—she might have become. 1005 Ferry rd Ph 384 2063 while stocks last (see instore for terms and conditions) Barry & kerry
Wednesday February 27 2019 News Cruise ships anchor further away • By Louis Day CRUISE SHIPS in Akaroa have started to anchor further away from the wharf due to concerns over the impact larger ships are having on the sea bed. Larger ships have begun anchoring at anchorage No 2, about 1km south-east of anchorage No 1 because it is deeper in this area. Acting regional harbourmaster Ian Fox said this was a precautionary move. “We have chosen to use anchorage No 2 following questions raised by the community Ian Fox regarding potential silt disturbance in Akaroa Harbour. At this point, there is no evidence to suggest this is a problem,” he said. Mr Fox said anchorage No 2 was only slightly further away from the wharf than anchorage No 1 due to the navigational paths of the ships. Banks Peninsula Community Board member Janis Haley was concerned moving the larger cruise ships further away from the wharf could lead to an Ferrymead The Hunting Party by Lucy Foley EVERYONE’S INVITED.

Latest Christchurch news at www.star.kiwi CAUSE FOR CONCERN: Larger cruise ships have begun anchoring further down the harbour following concerns around the impact they were having on the sea bed. This resulted in 713 passengers and 50 crew from the ship having to take shelter in a local hall. However, Mr Fox insisted cruise ships at anchorage No 2 would not be at greater risk than the ones at anchorage No 1. “Anchorage No 1 and 2 are identical in the level of exposure to weather conditions. If it happens at anchorage No 2 it would happen at anchorage No 1. All anchorages provide the same level of safety for the ships that use them.” B+LNZ Farm Environment Plan Workshop: Banks Peninsula Get specialist assistance to understand the environmental challenges on your farm and make a plan to manage them.
