Sinossi

Each summer a group of families holiday together in St. Ives, Cornwall, but in 1972 their lives are shattered and they never meet up again. In a lane in the village of Zennor a hotel porter is found fatally poisoned. Later that week the body of another man is washed ashore. Grant Morrison, then aged seventeen, has long been troubled by the two deaths and their aftermath and, decades later, decides that the time has come to uncover the truth.

    Boy, is Tom Andrews angry! Here he is, trying to enjoy his fortieth birthday party at his mom’s and dad’s house, and his wife Debbie is being her typical overbearing, domineering, controlling self. Sure, he’s used to her and her bossy ways. But of all days for Debbie to be nagging him and criticizing him! And in front of all their guests, too!
     
    But if he thinks he’s mad, just wait until Debbie goes a bit too far with her nagging. Now, his dad is even angrier at her for not only ruining his son’s birthday but also for causing him a whole lot of frustration over the years by never allowing him to really enjoy himself when they’re having sex. First, she’s too controlling. Second, thanks to her extreme modesty, she never lets him enjoy her body to the extent that he would like.
     
    Yes, Tom’s dad sure is mad. And that’s not a good thing because, first, he has a vicious temper, and, second, as headmaster of a backwoods boarding school, he had a history of getting misbehaving young women over his knee for some good old corporal punishment.
     
    So, to the shock of everyone present, he decides that he’s had just about enough of Debbie’s domineering behavior. Right then and there, he administers a thorough, bare-bottom spanking to her—right out in the middle of the living room and in front of all their guests!
     
    Well, Tom is sure having a happy birthday now! He’s never before had quite as much of an eyeful of his wife's delicious curves—nor has he ever seen how cute she is when she’s controlled, submissive, vulnerable, and dominated. This is just fantastic!
     
    Even better, his dad then orders Debbie and Tom to go upstairs to the guestroom so that, for the first time ever, Tom can be the boss and make his birthday truly spectacular by enjoying his wife in any way he chooses!
     
    How far will he go?

    What readers are saying about Gone to Pieces: 
    'A modern-day Bell Jar' 
    ‘What made Gone to Pieces special for me as a reader, was the choice of protagonist – middle-aged wife and mother, Rebecca … proving that women over 50 are the ones who often have the most complex stories’ 
    ‘This was a really unusual read but loved it … Thoroughly enjoyable and unique book’ 
    ‘I loved that it’s based on a middle-aged woman struggling with her mental health as I don’t think this is covered often. I found Rebecca to be a really likable character and I was really rooting for her the whole way through.’ 
    Gone to Pieces is a dark yet humorous novel that delves into the complexities of marriage and impending divorce. It's a psychological exploration of a woman coming to terms with her new reality.

    Legends and Tales is a collection of short stories and folklore-inspired narratives by Bret Harte, showcasing his talent for blending regional color, humor, and moral insight. Set primarily in the American West and mining towns of California, the tales feature larger-than-life characters—gamblers, outcasts, pioneers, and dreamers—whose lives are shaped by fate, fortune, and the rugged frontier landscape. Drawing on oral traditions and local legends, Harte weaves stories rich in sentiment, irony, and vivid atmosphere. Themes of loyalty, justice, and human resilience echo throughout, capturing the spirit of a bygone era. This lesser-known but compelling collection further cements Harte’s role as a master storyteller and chronicler of the Old West.

    A four act play by Oscar Wilde, first performed in 1892, Lady Windermere's Fan is another one of his productions that takes a half-sardonic, half-serious look into the intrigues of life. 
    In this play, Lady Windermere's idyllic life as the young wife of the rich Lord Windermere is disturbed by the rumour that her husband is visiting a lady of ill reputation, and is reportedly spending vast sums of money on her. 
    When confronted with the fact, he fails to adequately explain himself, and furthermore insists on inviting said woman in question, Mrs Erlynne to her birthday ball that night! 
    Distraught, Lady Windermere finds herself seriously entertaining the amorous advances of another man... but was is the truth behind the matter? 
    And where, will her fan finally end up...?
