Ostrov s vůní čerstvého chleba - Jenny Colganová

Někdy se stane, že žijete celé roky s přítelem, s nímž máte vlastní prosperující podnik, bydlíte v luxusním manažerském bytě v Plymouthu, chodíte do vybrané společnosti, a zdá se, že jinak to ani být nemůže. A pak přijde bankrot, váš vztah to zničí a najednou nemáte nic. Chce to velkou odvahu začít znova. Třicetiletá Polly to dokázala. Bez prostředků, bez přátel se ocitla na přílivovém ostrově v Cornwallu. A po práci v designérském studiu začala péct chleba a zjistila, že hníst těsto rukama je pro její bolavou duši zázračný lék. Elitní společnost plymouthských podnikatelů vyměnila za rybáře, vyjíždějící každý večer na moře za úlovkem. Nebylo lehké bydlet v nehostinné krajině, kdy je třeba přizpůsobit život přílivům, jež odříznou ostrov od okolního světa, a kde bouře přináší smrt i těsné přátelství. Zpočátku byl jejím jediným kamarádem papuchalk, který náhodou vlétl dírou ve střeše k ní do domu. Chtěla zde zůstat jen tak dlouho, než se zase postaví na nohy, ale nakonec zjistila, že tenhle kouzelný ostrov jí zcela učaroval. Jenny Colganová (*1972) se narodila v Prestwicku ve Skotsku. Po vystudování Edinburské univerzity pracovala šest let ve zdravotních službách, přivydělávala si jako kreslířka komiksových příběhů a vystupováním jako sólová komička. V roce 2010 napsala svou první knihu Amanda's Wedding a od té doby se věnuje psaní humorných romantických románů, které oslovují zejména současné mladé moderní ženy. V roce 2013 vyhrála svou knihou Welcome to Rosie Hopkin's Sweet Shop of Dreams cenu za nejlepší romantický román roku udílenou Asociací autorů romantických románů. Věnuje se také tvorbě sci-fi. Je autorkou jedné řady oblíbeného seriálu Dr. Who. Jenny Colganová je vdaná a se svým manželem Andrewem má tři děti. Převážně žije ve Francii, často také navštěvuje Londýn.

Pod povrchem však bobtnají problémy a odkrývají se dosud nevyřčená rodinná tajemství. Je, nebo není nutné je sdílet se svými nejbližšími, anebo do jaké míry? Mají v opravdovém kamarádství či partnerství tajnosti své místo? Jak mohou tyto situace narušit vztahy? S tímhle vším se potýkají Polly s přítelem Hucklem i jejich kamarádi, manželé Kerensa a Reuben.

Operation Chiffon - Peter Taylor

On the 25th anniversary of the Good Friday Agreement, Peter Taylor tells for the first time the gripping story of Operation Chiffon, the top-secret intelligence operation that helped bring peace to Ireland.‘A gripping exploration of how MI5 and MI6 worked for a ceasefire with the IRA – and how one meeting changed everything’ Telegraph''An extraordinary story . . . A true tale of espionage'' The TimesApril 1998: the Good Friday Agreement is signed, ending decades of violence and bloodshed in Northern Ireland. The process of getting the IRA to end its so-called ‘armed struggle’ was always the prerequisite of the search for peace. It was Operation Chiffon that finally helped make it possible.Operation Chiffon takes us inside the top-secret intelligence operation whose roots go back to the bloodiest years of the conflict in the early 1970s, involving officers from MI6 and, later in the 1990s, MI5. The remarkable story, which has remained hidden for forty years, is now revealed by legendary BBC journalist Peter Taylor with unique access to the officers involved. Drawing on exclusive interviews and Taylor’s fifty years of covering the conflict, the book narrates in first-hand detail how those involved risked their careers – and their lives – to help secure the fragile peace that exists today.Taylor vividly brings this covert operation to life and in the process chronicles the history of Sinn Féin, rising from obscurity in the early days of the Troubles to becoming the largest political party in Ireland today. It is a story fraught with uncertainty and danger that, as Brexit risks destabilising what was achieved in the Good Friday Agreement twenty-five years ago, is more important than ever to remember.

Operation Certain Death - Damien Lewis

This book chronicles the story of the single most daring Special Forces operation since World War Two - Operation Barras; the attempted rescue by the SAS of the British Forces who were being held captive by guerrilla gang the West Side Boys in the Sierra Leone jungle. The West Side Boys were a strange-looking bunch, wearing pink shades, shower caps, fluorescent wigs and voodoo charms they believed made them invulnerable to bullets - an impression re-enforced by ganja, heroine, crack cocaine and gallons of sweet palm wine. In 1999 a twelve man patrol of Royal Irish Rangers, who were training government troops in Sierra Leone, were captured and held hostage by the West Side Boys. They were held prisoner in a fortified jungle hideaway, with severed heads decorating the palisades, defended by some 400 heavily armed soldiers. Operation Barras, the rescue mission, was a combined force of 100 Paras, twelve members of the Special Boat Squadron, helicopters from the Navy and RAF and, spearheading the operation, 40-strong D squadron of the SAS. Against amazing odds the hostages were rescued - over 150 of the enemy were killed. Operation Certain Death is a thrilling true story of all out war. No hostages taken. Blood-letting on a vast scale inflicted on a very blood-thirsty enemy. A gripping piece of true military history, perfect for fans of action adventure stories and anyone interested in the top secret division of the British Army.

The Book of Norman - Norman Sunshine

The Book of Norman: Norman Sunshine / A Life in Art, brings together more than seven decades of the American artist Norman Sunshine’s painting, sculpture, pencil, charcoal, and digital work, all deftly interwoven into his remarkable life story. Born and raised in Los Angeles, Sunshine began as an illustrator for the entertainment industry and the New York Times, eventually moving into advertising, where he authored some of the most recognizable campaigns of the 1970s. He quickly drew acclaim as a painter of southern California’s soft geometry and quiet loneliness. After moving back to the East Coast, his practice expanded: sometimes through distinctively experimental, Cezanne-like still-lifes, sometimes capturing the austerity of the New England winter, but always developing a visual language equally attuned to the psychological and physical spaces he inhabited. The Book of Norman is both a memoir of the social and artistic worlds of post-war America and a deep reflection on a life devoted to making art. The art critic Donald Kuspit said of Sunshine’s work that it is, “a classical example of dynamic equilibrium.” That statement is also true of the artist himself.

Operation Biting - Max Hastings

Operation Biting was one of the most thrilling British commando raids of World War II, and probably the most successful. In February 1942 RAF intelligence was baffled by a newly-identified radar network on the coast of Nazi-occupied Europe, codenamed Würzburg. The brilliant scientist Dr RV Jones proposed an assault to capture key components. The nearest accessible enemy set stood upon a steep cliff at Bruneval in Normandy. Winston Churchill enthused, as did Lord Louis Mountbatten, chief of Combined Operations. A company of the newly-formed Airborne Forces was committed to the operation, which took place on the night of 27/28 February. Amid heavy snow 120 men landed, some of whom were misdropped almost two miles from their objective. They nonetheless launched the assault, dismantled the German radar, and after three nail-biting hours in France and a fierce battle with Wehrmacht defenders, escaped in the nick of time by landing-craft across stormy seas to Portsmouth.Max Hastings recounts this cliffhanging tale in a wealth of previously unchronicled detail. He portrays its remarkable personalities: the ‘boffin’ RV Jones; the peacock Mountbatten; the troubled husband of Daphne Du Maurier, Gen. ’Boy’ Browning, who commanded the Airborne Division; ‘Colonel Remy’, the French secret agent whose men reconnoitered Bruneval at mortal risk; Major John Frost, who led the paras into action; Charlie Cox, the little RAF technician who stripped the Würzburg and became an unexpected hero; Wing-Commander Charles Pickard, a legendary bomber pilot who led the drop squadron. Seldom have so many fascinating personalities been brought together to fulfil a mission that became a front-page triumph in a season of British defeats.Recounted in Hastings’ familiar best-selling blend of top-down and bottom-up action detail, Operation Biting tells a story that has become almost forgotten yet deserves to rank among the epic tales of courage and daring that took place in the greatest conflict in history.

Operation North Pole - Stephen Wynn

Englandspiel Nordpol, or Operation North Pole, was a successful Second World War counterintelligence operation conducted by Germany''s military intelligence (the Abwehr) between 1942 and 1944.On the night of 6-7 November 1941 two SOE agents, Huub Lauwers and Thys Taconis were parachuted into the Netherlands and dropped over Stegerveld, near Ommen. Lauwers was captured on 6 March 1942, whilst Taconis was captured 3 days later on 9 March. Lauwers was persuaded to send messages back to London by the Germans, in which he intentionally left out two security checks. This should have automatically sounded ''alarm bells'' with those who received the messages, but for some inexplicable reason, it did not. Whether this was just a genuine mistake or something more sinister has never been fully ascertained. After all, security checks were in place to ensure that messages received from agents in the field were genuine and were part of the SOE''s own transmission protocol.   As no one in London realised messages being received from SOE agents in the Netherlands were being sent under the control and direction of German military intelligence, more and more agents and equipment followed unabated for more than 18 months. Of the 54 SOE agents sent to the Netherlands from England during Operation North Pole, 50 died or were executed whilst being held prisoner by the Germans.
