I Love the Bones of You<br />
My Life, My Family, My Father by Christopher<br />
eccleston<br />
Drawing on his memories, Chris will describe a vivid life of growing up in a<br />
Salford, working-class household in the 1970s with his siblings, a loving<br />
mother, and the totemic figure of his hardworking, serious-minded and socialist<br />
father, Ronnie. How his life changed from a potential future as ‘factory fodder’<br />
in his native Northwest, to a deep-rooted desire to perform on stage, and what<br />
developed into a burgeoning acting career – from his stunning film debut Let Him<br />
Have It ; to the BBC’s landmark drama miniseries Our Friends in the North; his<br />
remarkable relaunch of the iconic Doctor Who franchise; and many more BAFTAnominated<br />
roles over the past three decades. Along this path of fame and fortune<br />
also lay a man still bonded to his home city of Salford, his politics, his family,<br />
and especially his beloved parents.<br />
From Russia with Blood<br />
Putin’s ruthless Killing Campaign and Secret War on<br />
the West by Heidi Blake<br />
The explosive, untold story of how Russia mastered the art and science of<br />
targeted assassination - and why even the most powerful nations in the<br />
world have failed to stop Putin. They thought they had found a safe haven<br />
in the green hills of England. They were wrong.<br />
In From Russia With Blood, multi-award-winning investigative journalist<br />
Heidi Blake unflinchingly documents the growing web of Russian-linked<br />
deaths on British and American soil, tracking the men who lived and died<br />
in the Kremlin’s crosshairs from London’s high-end night clubs to Miami’s<br />
million-dollar hideouts. This heart-stopping international investigation<br />
- written with the page-turning pace and chilling narrative of a thriller -<br />
reveals one of the most important and terrifying stories of our time.<br />
