Sinopsis

From September 1939 until the last days of the war in 1945 Ireland was host to a constant flow of casualties from the Battle of the Atlantic. Ireland's unique location, situated near the vital shipping lanes of the Western Approaches, placed the country in the immediate conflict zone once the war at sea began with the sinking of the British merchant liner Athenia on 3 September 1939, when 449 survivors were landed in Galway city.

'Neutral Shores' follows the story of how many merchant navy ships during the war were attacked and sunk by German U-boats and FW200 bombers, and their surviving crews left adrift on the hostile Atlantic Ocean in a desperate struggle for survival.
For the fortunate ones sanctuary was found along Ireland's rugged Atlantic shores, where the local people took these men from the sea into their homes and cared for them without any consideration of their nationality or allegiances

    An Amazon Best Non-Fiction Book of 2022'Essential reading' - The Guardian'Sharp and witty with moments of startling candour' - The i'Makes a powerful case' - Rt Hon Lady Hale‘Revealing and beautifully written’ - David Harewood________Before Jeffrey Boakye was a black teacher, he was a black student. Which means he has spent a lifetime navigating places of learning that are white by default. Since training to teach, he has often been the only black teacher at school. At times seen as a role model, at others a source of curiosity, Boakye’s is a journey of exploration – from the outside looking in.In the groundbreaking I Heard What You Said, he recounts how it feels to be on the margins of the British education system. As a black, male teacher – an English teacher who has had to teach problematic texts – his very existence is a provocation to the status quo, giving him a unique perspective on the UK’s classrooms.Through a series of eye-opening encounters based on the often challenging and sometimes outrageous things people have said to him or about him, Boakye reflects on what he has found out about the habits, presumptions, silences and distortions that black students and teachers experience, and which underpin British education.Thought-provoking, witty and completely unafraid, I Heard What You Said is a timely exploration of how we can dismantle racism in the classroom and do better by all our students.________'Hugely important' - Baroness Lawrence'Deeply compelling, intellectually rigorous and essential' - Nels Abbey'Personal and political, profound and playful' - Darren Chetty'Written with passion, fury, knowledge and, in spite of the painful subject, wit' - Patrice Lawrence

Her life's work not only revolutionized nursing but also laid the groundwork for modern healthcare practices. 
    Through meticulous research and vivid storytelling, this book paints a portrait of a visionary who transcended the constraints of her time to become a symbol of hope and progress. Florence Nightingale's enduring legacy of compassion, dedication, and evidence-based care continues to inspire healthcare professionals around the world.

    She sold her business to a billionaire dominatrix for £75 million. The price? One night as her submissive. 
    Desire’s Truth is an erotic lesbian romance about power, consent, and what it costs to give up control. Victoria Fraser has built an empire on precision and dominance, winning in the boardroom and in the bedroom. Then Suzette Conner-Wakeman, a razor-sharp billionaire with a taste for risk, makes an offer Victoria cannot ignore: seventy-five million pounds for her companies, on one condition that is not up for negotiation. For a single night, Victoria must submit completely. 
    With her wife Abby’s surprising encouragement, Victoria agrees, and a carefully staged encounter becomes something far more revelatory. Boundaries are planned, safewords are honoured, and aftercare is real, yet the experience exposes truths Victoria has kept locked away. Desire collides with trust, jealousy brushes against devotion, and the marriage at the centre of everything proves stronger than either woman dared to hope. 
    As Suzette’s motives come into focus and the trio navigate the consequences, Victoria and Abby must decide what their love looks like when old rules no longer fit. This is erotic lesbian romance that prizes character, chemistry, and emotional stakes, where intimacy is explicit, communication is clear, and surrender can be an act of power.For readers who crave erotic lesbian romance with a grown-up edge, Desire’s Truth delivers heat with heart, a marriage tested and deepened, and the intoxicating pull of choosing each other again.
