Ranulph Fiennes – Mad, Bad and<br />
Dangerous to Know<br />
Ranulph Fiennes has travelled to the most dangerous and<br />
inaccessible places on earth, almost died countless times, lost<br />
nearly half his fingers to frostbite, raised millions of pounds for<br />
charity and been awarded a polar medal and an OBE. He has<br />
been an elite soldier, an athlete, a mountaineer, an explorer, a<br />
bestselling author and nearly replaced Sean Connery as James<br />
Bond.<br />
In his autobiography he describes how he led expeditions all over<br />
the world and became the first person to travel to both poles on<br />
land. He tells of how he discovered the lost city of Ubar in Oman<br />
and attempted to walk solo and unsupported to the North Pole - the expedition that cost him<br />
several fingers, and very nearly his life.<br />
His most recent challenge was scaling the north face of the Eiger, one of the most awesome<br />
mountaineering challenges in the world. Sir Ranulph Twisleton-Wykeham-Fiennes OBE, 3rd<br />
Baronet, looks back on a life lived at the very limits of human endeavour.<br />
‘Even readers with a broadly low tolerance for macho heroism will find themselves gripped .<br />

See you in the Piazza<br />
By Frances <strong>May</strong>es<br />
The Roman Forum, the Leaning Tower, the Piazza San Marcothese<br />
are the sights synonymous with Italy. But such landmarks<br />
only scratch the surface of this magical country’s offerings. In<br />
See You in the Piazza, Frances <strong>May</strong>es introduces us to the Italy<br />
only the locals know, as she and her husband, Ed, eat and drink<br />
their way through fifteen regions - from Friuli to Sardinia. Along<br />
the way, she seeks out the cultural and historic gems not found<br />
in traditional guidebooks. Frances conjures the enchantment of<br />
the backstreets, the hubbub of the markets, the dreamlike wonder<br />
of that space between lunch and dinner when a city cracks open<br />
to those who would wander or when a mind is drawn into the<br />
pages of a delicious book - and discloses to us the secrets that only someone who is on<br />
intimate terms with a place could find.<br />

From Scratch<br />
A Memoir of Love, Sicily, and Finding Home<br />
By Tembi Locke<br />
A poignant and transporting cross-cultural love story set against<br />
the lush backdrop of the Sicilian countryside, where one woman<br />
discovers the healing powers of food, family, and unexpected<br />
grace in her darkest hour. It was love at first sight when Tembi<br />
met professional chef, Saro, on a street in Florence. There was<br />
just one problem: Saro’s traditional Sicilian family did not approve<br />
of him marrying a black American woman, an actress no less.<br />
However, the couple, heartbroken but undeterred, forges on. They<br />
build a happy life in Los Angeles, with fulfilling careers, deep<br />
friendships and the love of their lives: a baby girl they adopt at<br />
birth. Eventually, they reconcile with Saro’s family just as he faces a formidable cancer that<br />
will consume all their dreams. From Scratch chronicles three summers Tembi spends in<br />
Sicily with her daughter, Zoela, as she begins to piece together a life without her husband in<br />
his tiny hometown hamlet of farmers. Where once Tembi was estranged from Saro’s family<br />
and his origins, now she finds solace and nourishment—literally and spiritually—at her<br />
mother in law’s table. In the Sicilian countryside, she discovers the healing gifts of simple<br />
fresh food, the embrace of a close knit community, and timeless traditions and wisdom that<br />
light a path forward. All along the way she reflects on her and Saro’s incredible romance—an<br />
indelible love story that leaps off the pages.<br />
