Going to the Wire - Tom Brogan

Going to the Wire looks at a dozen teams, from the 1970s to the present day, whose survival came down to the season⠙s final day. It captures the drama and the passion that comes when not only league survival, but jobs and even a club⠙s very existence can be on the line. It⠙s all here, as Tom Brogan looks at the drama of late, late goals, on those days when fans can spend more time with ears pressed to radios, or eyes glued to mobile phones, all for news from another ground! The passion, the shredded nerves, bitten fingernails, the absurdities of blatant time-wasting, fake news of ⠘goals⠙ elsewhere and ultimately teams coming back from the dead. Relegation is all part of the game, but one that no fan wants their team to get dragged into, but great escapes can make heroes of the unlikeliest of players. Tottenham Hotspur, Everton, Middlesbrough, Burnley, Derby County and Coventry City are just a few of the clubs whose final-day escapes make the cut in Going to the Wire, as Brogan reveals just how close some clubs got to falling through the relegation trap door and what it took to avoid it.

I was there. I saw what you did.Blaise I wasn’t supposed to be there that night, but my friend Sienna talked me into going to the party in Land’s End so she could spy on her boyfriend. While hiding out in the woods, we witnessed an unspeakable crime. And we did everything wrong afterward. Connections run deep in our small town. I was pressured into keeping my mouth shut, even though every part of me objected. I assumed I’d always do the right thing in any situation. I was wrong about that and a lot of other things. I was wrecked by what I saw and how the victim was treated by kids I’d known all my life. I’ve been sick over it ever since, even as I moved on, far away from the town where I was raised. Fourteen years later, I learn that the guy who committed that unspeakable crime is running for Congress, and something in me snaps. I can’t bear the weight of that knowledge for another second. Finally, I report what I saw, and all hell breaks loose for me and others who were at that long-ago party. Some of them will do whatever it takes to keep the truth from coming to light…even if they have to kill me. In the midst of an epic battle, a new love gives me the strength to stay strong, to fight for my life and to right a terrible wrong.Content warning: A sexual assault storyline may be upsetting to some readers.

ONE OF THE TIMES FAVOURITE NOVELS OF 2023 The Wide World is one of his best . . . Compellingly plotted, stuffed with great characters, thought-provokingly situated in history - honestly, what else do you want from a novel? The Times Literature with conviction; a furious talent L ObsThe first volume of THE GLORIOUS YEARS series, translated by Frank WynneBeirut, 1948. The Pelletier family returns... Over the years, the annual Pelletier family pilgrimage down the avenue des Françaishad known many variations, but never before had it taken on the air of a funeral cortège... The Pelletiers are a hugely prominent French family living in Beirut. Louis Pelletier has spent years building his soap business, dominating the manufacturing market. Now, he wants to pass on the leadership, but choosing which son to takeover from him is proving challenging.Jean, the eldest, has no such acumen for managing the enterprise and seems a hopeless and weak option. His wife, though, has superior ambitions, and eager to flee the familial bonds for other reasons, Jean agrees to an escape to France.Etienne Pelletier, younger and a gentle soul, is trained in accounts, and leaves home for Saigon to find love. There, he uncovers a well-established scheme to channel smuggled goods and cash to the Viet Minh. It is dangerous evidence that presents a real threat not only to officials in high places, but to his own life.François, the middle Pelletier brother, persuades his father to let him travel to Paris, where he becomes a journalist. His career flies when he reports on the brutal murder of an actress, and realises a serial killer is on the loose, one who may be closer than anyone realises. You have the ingredients Balzac would have cooked with. And it is exactly those great 19th century novels that Lemaitre will remind you of Sunday Times Pierre Lemaitre skilfully captivates and stuns the reader Le Figaro

The Great Swindle - Pierre Lemaitre

Winner of the prestigious Prix Goncourt, a timeless story of how war transforms lives in unexpected and often tragic ways as seen through the eyes of three World War I vetsThe year is 1918, the war on the Western Front all but over. An ambitious officer, Lieutenant Henry D Aulnay-Pradelle, sends two soldiers over the top and then surreptitiously shoots them in the back to incite his men to attack the German lines.When another of D Aulnay-Pradelle s soldiers, Albert Maillard, reaches the bodies and discovers how they died, the lieutenant shoves him into a shell hole to silence him. Albert is rescued by fellow soldier, the artist Edouard Péricourt, who takes a bullet in the face. The war ends and both men recover, but Edouard is permanently disfigured, and fakes his death to prevent his family from seeing him as a cripple. In gratitude for Edouard s rescue, Albert becomes the injured man s companion and caregiver.Finding that the postwar gratitude for the soldiers service is nothing more than lip-service to an empty idea, the two men scramble to survive, ultimately devising a scam to take money for never-to-be-built war memorials from small towns. Meanwhile, Lieutenant Pradelle has married Edouard s sister Madeline and is running a scam of his own that involves the exhumation of war victims.In this sorrowful, heart-searching novel, the interwoven lives of these three men create a tapestry of the human condition as seen through the lens of war, revealing brutality and compassion, heroism and cowardice, in equal measure.
