If you like non- fiction? I am currently reading Titanic a Night Remembered by Stephanie Barczewski it is mainly about the aftermath of the disaster, the sinking plays a very small part of the book and it looks into detail about the the lives of - Capt Edward Smith, Wallace Hartley, Thomas Andrews, and John Jacob Astor. Then in contrast looks at J Bruce Ismay and Sir Cosmo Gordon Duff- It is fasinating and looks into their earlier life and even mentions some of them on the census's. I would reccommend if anyone is into that kind of stuff- catherine xx |

This is the publishers write up not mine When Kendra Tamale boards a plane from Australia to England she's leaving behind a painful affair with a married man and the hideous memory of how things ended. She arrives in her home town of London, rents a room from Kyle, a divorced father of two, and starts a new job. Everything is going to be simple. Kyle's five-year-old twins, Summer and Jaxon, have other ideas and quickly adopt Kendra as their new mother - mainly because she lets them eat marshmallows for breakfast. Kendra eventually becomes a part of their lives, even though she has a deep, dark secret that usually makes her keep people at arm's length. Then Kendra bumps into the man who shares her awful secret, and things fall apart: she can't sleep, she can't eat, she's suspended from work, and the kids are taken away by their mother. The only way to make things better is to confess all about the terrible mistake she made all those years ago. But that's something she swore she'd never do... |
