Sinopse

In 1109 Guigliarello Acciaiuoli came from Brescia, where his family had made a fortune by working in steel (acciaio)—hence their name. He bought many houses in Borgo S.S. Apostoli and a domain in the Val di Pesa, where he built a tower which was still standing in 1588 when Giovambattista Ubaldini wrote the Origine della Famiglia Acciaiuoli. True to the Guelph traditions the family brought with them from Brescia, Leone Acciaiuoli was forced to fly from Florence after the Ghibelline victory at Montaperti in 1260 and his palace was destroyed. On the return to power of the White, or Guelph, party, Dardano Acciaiuoli became Gonfalonier of Justice, and was afterwards sent with full powers from the Signoria of Florence, “considering his great prudence and legal knowledge,” as Captain of the People to rule Pistoja. When in 1282 the government of Florence was changed and the Priors were instituted, Riccomanni degl’Acciaiuoli, doctor of law, was elected Prior of his Sesto of the city.

    From the creators of the popular podcast Good Mourning, this support-group-in-a-book helps readers navigate grief and loss with warmth, humour, raw honesty and the affirmation that they are not alone. 
     
    Sally Douglas and Imogen Carn met after the sudden deaths of their mothers only months apart. Their experiences led them to launch a podcast, and their no-holds-barred, relatable approach to talking about grief sparked a growing following of people eager to have honest conversations about what it really feels like to deal with loss. 
     
    Good Mourning is a compassionate survival guide for anyone dealing with grief - the kind of book Sal and Im wish they'd had to help them through the dark times. Here they shine a light on the many ways grief can impact our lives (hello ugly crying, exhaustion and 'grief brain'). Along with expert advice from clinical psychologist Tamara Cavenett and warm words and insights from hundreds of others who've experienced grief, the authors offer practical tips on coping with isolation and loneliness, navigating grief at work, managing milestones and so much more. 
     
    Whether you're one month in or ten years down the track, Good Mourning will help you make sense of life after loss - and know that you're not alone.

    ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK 
    "The Rainmaker" by John Grisham follows the journey of Rudy Baylor, a recent law school graduate, as he navigates the complex and often corrupt world of the legal system. Rudy, initially driven by idealism, confronts the harsh realities of corporate greed when he takes on a case against a powerful insurance company, Great Benefit, who denied coverage to a dying man. He partners with a less-than-ethical lawyer, Deck Shifflet, and together they challenge the company's deceitful practices, exposing their scheme to deny legitimate claims. The story examines the tension between ethical practice and the pursuit of justice, as Rudy battles powerful legal adversaries and grapples with the moral ambiguities of his profession.

    ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK 
    "Oona Out of Order" by Margarita Montimore tells the story of Oona Lockhart, who experiences a unique form of time travel, leaping to a different year of her life every New Year's Eve. This condition throws her through a non-linear journey, forcing her to navigate life out of chronological order. The narrative follows Oona as she adapts to different time periods and situations, and as she forms relationships with others. The novel explores the challenges of this condition, particularly in maintaining meaningful relationships, as she struggles to connect with those she loves, including her romantic partners and her own son. The story also explores themes of identity, loss, and the importance of living in the moment, as Oona learns to accept her unusual circumstances and embrace life's uncertainties.
