  Sisterly Love

  Sisterly Love is about the unique bonds of sisterhood and depicts eras and places as seen through the lives of two sisters as they come and go at will in each other's lives, following a need to relate their memories or explore their present. 
  This is not a story with its conventional beginning, middle and end, although all that does happen in it.  So there is a story-line, but it is not conventionally told. 
  The story of their lives begins in the early years of the twentieth century with the usual sibling rivalries and disputes exaggerated by the presence of an obnoxious aunt and we revisit them from time to time.starting in the nineteen thirties. Elsie typifies the solid, conservative, hard-working office girl. Lillian shifts with ease from one boyfriend to another, from one husband to another, from one boss to another, from one country to another, yet she always returns to take refuge by either Elsie's or Horace's (their young brother's) home fires. By dint of Lillian's wanderings, the novel moves from London to an English country village, to South Africa, to Australia, to Spain, back to London, all vividly evoked through reminiscence. 
  It is loneliness in their advancing years which forces them into each other's company, despite themselves. It is the sadness of having nothing else in life which inevitably flings them against one another painfully peeling away the layers of their past existences and forcing them to surrender themselves to the irritating state of undesired dependence. 
  It is the inescapable pathos of two lives reduced by the passing years to grumpy proximity in a small bed-sitter that breathes life into Sisterly Love. .. My aim was to write about how youth transforms into old age with a certain humour, sadness and sensitivity.     D.H. Madrid, 2019

  Tony Blair - The Prime Ministers...

  'One of the shrewdest political commentators we have' Andrew Marr
  'Tony Blair was a giant amongst prime ministers and leaders of the Labour party: Steve Richards is a giant amongst political commentators. This riveting and persuasive book describes what happens when they meet head on' Anthony Seldon
  Was Tony Blair a visionary, impatiently looking ahead, or a leader trapped by his past – Labour's vote-losing 1980s and the dominance of Margaret Thatcher? Was the party's move to the right under Blair necessary in order for them to win, or could they, after 18 years of Tory rule, have afforded to be more daring and more left wing than their leader wished to recognise?
  In Steve Richards's short, provocative and highly engaging new biography, he argues that Blair was often the opposite of what we remember him being: perceived as a 'moderniser', he sought to strengthen the traditional institutions that partly define the UK, from the monarchy to the military; while to Margaret Thatcher's public appreciation he cemented her economic legacy rather than moved on from it. And, while he was viewed as messianic over Iraq, he was, in fact, being characteristically expedient, clinging to the orthodoxy in which the UK stands shoulder to shoulder with the US in war.
  But the UK in 2007 was undoubtedly a different country to the one it had been in 1997: from devolution, which played its part in establishing peace in Northern Ireland, to civil partnerships and a revived NHS, Blair left Britain in a much better place. While his legacy has been overshadowed by the Iraq war, Tony Blair re-establishes a more rounded view of his time in office, and shows that the challenges facing Blair were the ones that still face Labour today.

Now updated with new unpublished material to celebrate the thirty year anniversary of Definitely Maybe and ahead of their upcoming reunion tour, this story is the defining chronicle of life on tour with Oasis.
