  While working in the Chester household as a governess, the innocent Clara becomes sexually involved with Herbert Chester, her employer. Then, when the beautiful Catherine, Herbert's sister-in-law and secret lover, comes to stay at the house, Catherine introduces Clara into the pleasures of being with a woman.  On learning how the women are enjoying each other, Herbert encourages them into a threesome with him. This spurs jealousy in Catherine, however, and Clara is dismissed. 
  Now sexually awakened and excited by life in London, Clara has no desire to return to work as a governess and contemplates what form of employment best suits her ambitions. Her friend, Anna Quinlan, suggests the ideal solution. Anna is Madame Q and runs The Nunnery, an exclusive brothel catering only to the most select clientele. Tempted by a generous salary, room, board, freedom and independence, will Clara accept and become one of Madame Q's ladies of pleasure?

  An intimate retelling of Lyndon B. Johnson's politics and presidency by one of his closest advisors. 
   
   
   
  Horace Busby was one of LBJ's most trusted advisors; their close working and personal relationship spanned twenty years. In The Thirty-First of March he offers an indelible portrait of a president and a presidency at a time of crisis. From the aftereffects of the Kennedy assassination, when Busby was asked by the newly sworn-in president to sit by his bedside during his first troubled nights in office, to the concerns that defined the Great Society—civil rights, the economy, social legislation, housing, and the Vietnam War—Busby not only articulated and refined Johnson's political thinking, he also helped shape the most ambitious, far-reaching legislative agenda since FDR's New Deal. 
   
   
   
  Here is Johnson the politician, Johnson the schemer, Johnson who advised against JFK's choice of an open limousine that fateful day in Dallas, and Johnson the father, sickened by the deaths of young men fighting and dying in Vietnam on his orders. The Thirty-first of March is a rare glimpse into the inner sanctum of Johnson's presidency, as seen through the eyes of one of the people who understood him best.

  The Shortest History of The Crown

  'There have been scores of books about the monarchy but few, if any, as fearless and perceptive as this is... Bates tells it like it is, covering every aspect with rare humour and intelligence. I couldn't recommend it more highly.' LITERARY REVIEW on ROYALTY INCAmidst the turbulence and invasions, upheaval and dissent that characterise British history, one thing has remained remarkably stable. Although there are other monarchies, Britain's Crown stands out due to the continuity of its traditions, and its ability to adapt.There's a reason why schoolchildren still learn about the Kings and Queens: it's their power struggles and subtle compromises that have shaped the nation we inhabit today. When members of the Royal family go on 'walkabouts', they do so because monarchs stretching back to King Alfred understood the need to be seen by their subjects, and the dire consequences of remaining aloof (or abroad). When they give interviews, or accept taxes, they do so as part of a long series of engagements with other, almost-equally powerful operators: Church, Parliament, the nobility.In this sprightly commentary on the Crown's 1,800-year-long story, Stephen Bates provides a dazzling insight into Royal custom and ritual, whilst depicting the individuals behind the myth with compassion and wit. And as our ageing Queen prepares to pass the baton, he asks us all to consider: could we ever do without the Crown?
