    A powerful, poignant and pacey adoption memoir which reads like a thriller' New York Times.  Donna's birth parents were infamous con artists at the heart one of the US's biggest crime investigations of the 1960s.  Adoption, Family and Fraud…
    When her adoptive mother died in 2009 Donna Freed set out to track down her birth mother. What she discovered was truly shocking - she was the daughter of a pair of infamous con artists, at the heart of one of the biggest true crime stories to grip the USA in the 1960s. Previously redacted records from the infamous *Louise Wise Services in New York revealed that Donna's mother (27, Jewish and single), her father (40, Catholic, married with 4 children), had hatched a plan to defraud an insurance company and run off to Spain to raise Donna. Further investigation revealed that in 1967, Donna's mother, Mira Lindenmaier, faked her own death in a drowning accident off City Island in the Bronx for the double indemnity insurance money. Donna loved her tricky, unconventional adoptive mother, but was now keen to meet her birth mother and find out how and why her parents abandoned her.  How would she feel towards Mira, her 'real' Mum. How has becoming a mother herself impacted on her feelings towards her two mothers? Gripping and fast-paced, this extraordinary memoir is also incredibly moving tackling fundamental questions about motherhood and identity, nature vs nurture.

    Step into a world of enchantment, mystery, and ancient magic with this mesmerizing collection of Irish folklore, curated by one of Ireland’s greatest literary voices, William Butler Yeats. Drawing from centuries of oral tradition, Irish Folk and Fairy Tales brings together tales of mischievous fairies, heroic warriors, tragic lovers, and eerie spirits that haunt the emerald hills and misty glens of Ireland. 
     
    From the whimsical to the haunting, these stories capture the soul of a people whose myths and legends were deeply woven into the fabric of everyday life. Yeats' lyrical prose, rich in rhythm and reverence, breathes new life into age-old tales—preserving a fading oral tradition with poetic beauty and scholarly care. 
     
    Yeats’ was both a literary and cultural mission when he collected these tales, driven by a deep love for Irish heritage and a desire to preserve the oral traditions of Ireland in the face of modernity and colonial influence. What better way to appreciate them than by hearing them read by the inimitable Gerard Doyle, whose warmth and depth bring Yeats' beloved collection vividly to life. Doyle’s captivating voice and nuanced delivery transport listeners to a bygone world where the veil between the natural and supernatural is thin, and wonder lurks in every shadow.
