Summary

When mother Jackie Wallis’s life falls apart following the loss of her daughter Allison through suicide, writing ‘Finding Rosamond’ is her saviour. Incredibly, when nothing else could console her, a young lady who died nearly two centuries ago came to Jackie’s spiritual and emotional rescue.The chance discovery of an almost indecipherable young lady’s diary from 1835 led Jackie on her own personal journey while unravelling, and imagining, the secrets hidden within its tiny pages. As Rosamond’s story unfolds during the reign of William IV, in a tiny hamlet near Aylesford in Kent, Rosamond introduces us to her family and social life, then confides in us of her loves, losses and ultimate fears. Was it Rose’s wish that one day someone would read her diary and tell her story? Novel, memoir, ‘Finding Rosamond’ combines all that is best about both genres.

    The Gods of Bal-Sagoth is an adventure-fantasy story by Robert E. Howard, first published in 1931. The tale follows Turlogh Dubh O'Brien, an Irish warrior and mercenary, who finds himself caught in a storm at sea and cast ashore on a mysterious, uncharted island. There, he encounters Athelstane, a Viking prince who leads him to the legendary lost city of Bal-Sagoth. The city, once ruled by an ancient, god-like race, is now in decline, its people divided and warring among themselves.Turlogh and Athelstane become embroiled in the city's violent political struggles as they seek to escape its treacherous rulers and fanatical high priests. The rulers of Bal-Sagoth worship ancient gods, who are said to have immense power over the city's fate. The story is rich with themes of forgotten civilizations, violent ambition, and supernatural forces.Howard's storytelling style is fast-paced, filled with vivid descriptions of the decaying city, brutal combat, and larger-than-life characters. The tale explores Howard's signature themes of barbarism versus civilization, and the looming presence of ancient, forgotten gods. The Gods of Bal-Sagoth is a thrilling mix of sword-and-sorcery adventure and dark fantasy.

    Quest for Kimchi is the story of Rachel See, an Asian-American lawyer living in New York who abandons her prestigious legal job after a bad breakup and spontaneously moves to Ireland. Can she create the life she's always wanted and defy cultural norms? 
     
     
     
    Rachel See thinks she has it all figured out, until her boyfriend breaks things off and she's left with a job she dreads. Taking a leap, she decides to move abroad to Ireland, where she takes a position at a company without really knowing what the business does or what the job entails. While there, with the help of a new crew of international friends and her old buddy in New York, Magda, she finally learns to let go of stability and ambition to experience life with all its ups and downs. It's My Big Fat Greek Wedding meets Eat Pray Love—with a side of kimchi that accompanies each adventure. Rachel ultimately quits her job to venture off on a soul-searching journey filled with pizza, pasta, prosciutto, and everything in between. There is some praying, a little bit of loving, and a whole lot of healing; a love story between two people you'd least expect; one too many Guinnesses; a lot of crack—err, craic; and a big fat Greek wedding complete with big, phat Greeks.
