A Round-Heeled Woman
£9.89
' Round-heeled' is an old-fashioned term for a promiscuous woman of easy virtue. It's a surprising way for a respectable English teacher of a certain age, with a passion for the novels of Anthony Trollope, to describe herself, but then that's just the first of many surprises to be found in this poignant, funny, unique memoir. Inspired by Eric Rohmer's film Autumn Tale, Jane Juska, a smart, energetic divorcee, decided she'd been celibate too long, & placed a personal ad in her favourite newspaper, The New York Review of Books. The response was overwhelming, & Juska took a sabbatical from teaching to meet some of the men who replied. & since her ad made it clear that she wasn't expecting just h&-holding, her dates zipped from first base to the full monty in record time. Juska is a totally engaging, perceptive writer, funny & frank about her exploits. It's high time someone revealed the fact that older single people are as eager for sex & intimacy as their younger counterparts. Jane Juska's brave, honest memoir will probably raise eyebrows & blood pressure, but it will undoubtedly appeal to the very large audience of grown-up readers who will be fascinated & inspired by her daring adventure. ...

A Royal Affair: George
III And His
Troublesome Siblings
£8.44
The young George III was a poignant figure, humdrum on the surface yet turbulent beneath: hiding his own passions, he tried hard to be a father to his siblings & his nation. This intimate, fast-moving book tells the intertwined stories. His sisters were doomed to marry foreign princes & leave home forever; his brothers had no role & too much time on their hands
- a recipe for disaster. At the heart of Tillyard's story is Caroline Mathilde, who married the mad Christian of Denmark in her teens, but fell in love with the royal doctor Struensee: a terrible fate awaited them, despite George's agonized negotiations. Around this tragedy, Stella Tillyard weaves the dramas of the rakish Duke of York; the Duke of Cumberl&, caught up in a notorious divorce; the Duke of Gloucester, secretly married, to the fury of the King. Desperate for control, George constructed the Royal Marriage Act, which still bedevils the royal family today. At the same time he faced his tumultuous American colonies. & at every step a feverish press pounced on the gossip, fostering a new national passion
- a heated mix of celebrity & sex.

Tillyard conjures up a Georgian world of war & peace, the choppy seas & backwaters of international diplomacy in a changing world of ancien régimes & radical ideas
- the history of private passions & public disgrace, rebellion & exile, in a curtain raiser to the revolutions which convulsed two continents.

A Rumor Of War
£11.69
In March 1965, Marine Lieutnant Philip J. Caputo landed in Danang with the first ground combat unit committed to gith in Vietnam. Sixteen months later, having served on the line in one of modern history's ugliest wars, he returned home
- physically whole, emotionally wasted, his youthful idealism shattered. A decade later, Caputo would write in A Rumor of War, ' This is simply a story about war, about the things men do in war & the things war does to them'. It is far more then that. It is, a Theodore Solotaroff wrote in the New York Times Book Review, 'the troubled conscience of America speaking passionately, truthfully, finally'. It is the book that shattered America's deliberate indifference to the fact of the men it sent to fight in the jungles of Vietnam, & in the years since it was first published it has become a basic text on that war. But in the literature of war that stretches back to Homer, it has also taken its place as an esteemed classic to rank alongside All Quiet on the Western Front & The Naked & the Dead.
