The Saturday Night Sauvignon...

Gill Sims

It’s time for a w(h)ine
“God, she’s funny” – Jilly Cooper
‘Oh, for f*ck’s sake’ muttered Claire under her breath, as she opened the fridge to see what she could find for a no effort dinner. The children continued to fight behind her. They regarded any form of fish not encased in breadcrumbs as toxic, and were resistant enough to the delicious homemade fishfingers Claire had made for them, insisting they much preferred Captain Birdseye’s version. White wine was starting to look like quite an appealing dinner actually. Maybe just a small glass.
‘Are you having wine, Mum? You know you’re not supposed to have wine every night. We did about alcohol units at school. That’s quite a big glass of wine, how many units do you think are in it?’
’Bet the bastards didn’t tell you that wine is remarkably good at cancelling out whining though, did they?’ muttered Claire.
Claire’s family has gone nuclear. Her precious moppets keep calling Childline when she feeds them broccoli, she’s utterly Ottolenghied out at weekends, and her darling husband is having an affair with her best friend.
The question isn’t whether she needs a glass of wine, but is there one big enough?
Enter the Sauvignon Sisterhood, a new set of friends brought together by a shared love of liquid therapy. Together they might just be able to convince Claire that, like a good bottle of red, life really can get better with age. Or at least there’s more to it than the joy of an M&S non-iron school uniform.
Claire's humorous and biographical journey through divorce and the trials of marriage, as told by Sunday Times bestselling author Gill Sims, is a testament to the power of friendship and the resilience of relationships. The Sauvignon Sisterhood, a group bound by their shared love for liquid therapy, proves that life, like a good bottle of red, can indeed get better with age.
For fans of Sophie Kinsella (What Does it Feel Like?), Freya Kennedy (The Hopes and Dreams of Libby Quinn), Kristen Bailey (Textbook Romance), Alexandra Potter (More Confessions of a Forty-Something F**k Up), and Jane Fallon (Getting Rid of Matthew).

From The Norman Conquest To The...

Gilbert Abbott à Beckett

The second in an uproarious, sardonic and incisive look through English history. In this volume, we discover the actions of the Normans and King Richard, giving clear reasons why we history should hold them in nothing but contempt. It also covers the signing of the Magna Carta, the first bill of rights in England, which came about because a powerless king tried to go to war, realised that he had no-one behind him, and was bullied into signing in order to not simply be executed. 
Covers: 
William The Conqueror, and the thugs and mercenaries who bought titles and became England's gentry. 
William Rufus, and his utterly ridiculous death. 
Henry The First, Surnamed Beauclerc, his conquest of Normandy, and death from a finger wound. 
Stephen. 
Henry The Second, Surnamed Plantagenet, and his constant battles with both the church and his own family. 
Richard The First, Surnamed Cour De Lion, and how truly awful he was in every respect. 
John, Surnamed Sansterre, Or Lackland, and how tried to lead an army that deserted him and was forced into signing the Magna Carta.
