Sinopsis

'Superbly and elegantly written... executed with skill, finesse and considerable compassion. A very impressive debut from a fully-formed writer' Irish Independent
Shortlisted for The Betty Trask, The Val McDermid Debut Award and The CWA Gold Dagger.
Anna Deerin moves to a remote Cotswold cottage to become a gardener, trying to strip away everything she's spent all her life as a woman striving for, craving the anonymity and privacy her new off-grid life provides.
But when she clears the last vegetable bed and digs up not twigs but bones, the outside world is readmitted.
With it comes Detective Inspector Hitesh Mistry, who has his own reasons for a new start in the village of Upper Magna.
Drawn in spite of herself to this unknown woman from another time, Anna is determined to uncover her identity and gain recognition for her, if not justice.
As threats to Anna and her new life grow closer, she and DI Mistry will find that this murder is inextricably bound up with issues of gender, family, community, race and British identity itself – all as relevant in decades past as they are to Anna today.

    Hi. I’m Amelia. I live in a tiny fishing village called Hook by the Sea. My dilemma is I’m ten, and I really need a phone, but my parents can’t afford it, even if it counts for two birthdays and a Christmas, and even if they never have to give me another gift ever again! So, there’s only one thing to do: find a job and buy it myself. I know it’ll be tough, but I can do it, and along the way, maybe we’ll both learn a little about determination, disappointment, friendship, and love. 
    Once Upon a Phone was first published as a twenty-eight-episode serial with a note from the author at the end of each episode. This audiobook is a compilation of those twenty-eight episodes, including the author's notes.

    Lose Yourself in the Ghostly Glow of a St. Petersburg Summer.
    
    In the ethereal twilight of the Russian "White Nights," a lonely young man—known only as the Dreamer—wanders the deserted streets of St. Petersburg. His solitary existence is suddenly transformed when he saves a young woman, Nastenka, from an unwanted pursuer. Over the course of four hauntingly beautiful nights, the two strangers share their deepest secrets, hopes, and heartbreaks.
    
    Fyodor Dostoevsky's White Nights is a profound exploration of the human heart's capacity for both intense joy and crushing isolation. As the Dreamer emerges from his world of shadows to experience a fleeting brush with real love, Dostoevsky masterfully captures the bittersweet transition from youth to disillusionment.
    
    This definitive edition presents one of Dostoevsky's most lyrical and accessible works. Subtitled "A Sentimental Story from the Diary of a Dreamer," this novella remains a timeless meditation on the beauty of a single moment of happiness and the enduring power of memory.
    
    Experience the magic of the midnight sun. Buy "White Nights" today and discover the soul of Russian literature.

    First published in 1935, The Treasure of the Sierra Madre is Traven's most famous and enduring work, the dark, savagely ironic, and riveting story of three down-and-out Americans hunting for gold in Sonora. 
    What people have to say about the book:  
    ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Brilliant, radical, underrated, economically written in every sense of the word. I'm a big fan of the movie and I enjoyed the book even more.  
    ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ It's a must-read for lovers of crime novels of both the mystery & detective version and westerns. 
    ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A suspenseful read with many exciting Adventures that make you never wan't to put it down. I suggest this book to readers of all ages. 
    ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I find this story (both the book and the movie) truly horrifying in that it explores the depths of the human mind in terms of greed and conscience. These traits are expressed explicitly through Dobbs.
