  “Perhaps the first Gaelic black comedy” from the renowned Scottish television entertainer, comedian, and writer (John Murray, RTE Radio 1).   Norman MacLean is a living legend in the Gaelic world. Based in the Uists in the Outer Hebrides, with side trips to Glasgow, Hamburg and Amsterdam, this dotty adventure embraces frustrated sex, drugs, eightsome reels and a memorable cast of oddball characters: three inept would-be criminals, a demented care-home resident, an ex-communicant of the Free Church of Scotland who moonlights as an enforcer, a pair of Russian weight-lifters who raise ostriches by day and mud-wrestle by night, and a formidable woman lawyer determined to cleanse the island of wrongdoing before HM The Queen arrives on her annual visit. Something akin to a mad Gaelic version of The Sopranos as directed by the Coen brothers, this novella is a masterclass of understatement, pitch-perfect dialogue and confident narration. “Norman is a 24-carat comedy jewel that just keeps sparkling.” —Bruce Morton, BBC Radio Scotland “Norman MacLean is the Billy Connolly of the Gaidhealtachd.” —Calum MacDonald, Runrig

  Holy war in Epic, Kansas? You'd better believe it! It's Revival Week, and every man, woman, child and cocker spaniel--if it looks Methodist--is expected to be there. There really is an Epic, Kansas but you won't find it on a map. Perhaps it's the very town where you grew up. Perhaps you, like Edwin J. Stamford, at age eleven, lived there while coming to grips with one of the basic truths of life: "Always blame the boy!" Growing up is never easy--and Edwin may not have been the first nor the last boy to cut his toe while trying to learn the manly art of shaving. If you were ever a boy, you probably lived many weeks like Edwin's. If you were a sister, you were probably "Irene the Rat"--and you should be ashamed of yourself. A fantastic rite of passage, The Revival reminds us of innocent times, simpler places, and the wonders of growing up.

  Olive Grove at the Edge of the...

  The hilarious and endearing true tale of two urban Americans who escaped to a tiny olive farm in rural New Zealand. 
  For Jared Gulian, leaving the United States and coming to tiny Wellington, New Zealand, was a big enough switch from the bright lights of big cities. So when his partner CJ decided they just had to buy a rundown olive grove in the Wairarapa Valley, it was almost too much to cope with. 
  First they'd have to drive over the dangerous Remutaka ranges to get there, and Jared was terrified of heights. Then they'd have to figure out what on earth you do with 500 olive trees that hadn't been pruned for years, a geriatric rooster, warring hens, an obese kunekune pig, cast sheep, marauding cattle, and understanding your neighbors when they said "yiece" but meant "yes." 
  In this delightful memoir, Jared Gulian describes the first four years of their new life in the country, its disasters and small triumphs, its surprises and pleasures. But most of all he describes the warmth of the local community that welcomed them, saved them from certain peril, taught them how to cook, how to care for animals, and how to understand and love the land. 
  If you love Peter Mayle, David Sedaris, Frances Mayes, or James Herriot, this charming adventure is for you. 
  Buy now for a story that will feed your heart and make you smile.
