The Giver of Stars<br />
by Jojo Moyes<br />
Alice Wright marries handsome American Bennett Van Cleve hoping to escape her<br />
stifling life in England. But small-town Kentucky quickly proves equally claustrophobic,<br />
especially living alongside her overbearing father-in-law. So when a call goes out for<br />
a team of women to deliver books as part of Eleanor Roosevelt’s new traveling library,<br />
Alice signs on enthusiastically.<br />
The leader, and soon Alice’s greatest ally, is Margery, a smart-talking, self-sufficient<br />
woman who’s never asked a man’s permission for anything. They will be joined<br />
by three other singular women who become known as the Packhorse Librarians of<br />
Kentucky.<br />
What happens to them – and to the men they love – becomes an unforgettable drama<br />
of loyalty, justice, humanity and passion. These heroic women refuse to be cowed by<br />
men or by convention.<br />
And though they face all kinds of dangers in a landscape that is at times breathtakingly<br />
beautiful, at others brutal, they’re committed to their job: bringing books to people who<br />
have never had any, arming them with facts that will change their lives.<br />
Chasing The Light<br />
How I Fought My Way into Hollywood - From the 1960s to Platoon<br />
by oliver stone<br />
In this powerful and evocative memoir, Oscar-winning director and screenwriter, Oliver<br />
Stone, takes us right to the heart of what it’s like to make movies on the edge.<br />
He writes about his rarefied New York childhood, volunteering for combat, and his<br />
struggles and triumphs making such films as Platoon, Midnight Express, and Scarface.<br />
Before the international success of Platoon in 1986, Oliver Stone had been wounded<br />
as an infantryman in Vietnam, and spent years writing unproduced scripts while taking<br />
miscellaneous jobs and driving taxis in New York, finally venturing westward to Los<br />
Angeles and a new life. Stone, now 73, recounts those formative years with vivid<br />
details of the high and low moments of his career…plus other on-set experiences<br />
from movies, The Hand, The Deer Hunter and Salvador and his first Academy Awardwinning<br />
film, Midnight Express. Written fearlessly, with intense detail and colour,<br />
Chasing the Light is a true insider’s story of Hollywood’s years of upheaval in the<br />
1970s and ‘80s, and Stone brings this period alive as only someone at the centre of<br />
the action truly can.<br />

It Started with a Secret<br />
by Jill Mansell<br />
Jill Mansell’s heart-warming new book is the perfect escape from the winter weather.<br />
A beautiful Cornish setting, a chaotic family, a woman who’s had enough of romance<br />
- or has she? The trouble with secrets is that you can’t guess what the consequences<br />
will be . . . Lainey has lost everything. Luckily one little fib (OK, quite a big fib) helps<br />
nail her dream job. Soon she’s living in a stunning house by the sea, fending off<br />
obsessed fans for a retired – if far-from-retiring - actor and organising his charming<br />
but chaotic family. It’s definitely worth the challenge of keeping her secret.<br />
At least Lainey isn’t looking for love. It’s time for a break from all that. And yet . . .<br />
Seth, the actor’s grandson, really is rather attractive. There’s growing chemistry and a<br />
definite connection between them. But how would he react if he knew she hadn’t been<br />
honest with him?Lainey’s not the only one with a secret, though. Seth has one of his<br />
own. And everything’s about to start unravelling . . .<br />
