Penny can't imagine life without Ben. Fifteen years older than Penny, they had married when she was eighteen. Now, in late 1989, after a short illness Ben has died. Their two teenage children, James and Lara, are both about to go to university, so at thirty-eight Penny finds herself alone, and everything around her is changing. Even Farrington's, the company she has worked for since a girl, is about to undergo a big change. Charles Farrington at long last takes a much-overdue retirement. Now as Penny is about to return, Charles's only child, Max, leaves an academic career to become the new head of Farrington’s. Tall, aloof and enigmatic, at forty-eight years old he is still a confirmed bachelor. Not surprising then, that to the female staff his love life is a source of gossip and speculation! With the help of Julie, Penny’s lifelong friend, (still looking for her elusive husband), Penny tries socializing in Julie’s world. Alongside this, she finds her own slower and more comfortable way, trying a course with a bereavement group and attending many so-called ‘uplifting’ talks.

Rumours of Revolt
Author: Rosanne M. Baars
Publisher: BRILL
ISBN: 9004423338
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 279
Book Description
This book explores the reception of foreign news during the late sixteenth-century civil wars in France and the Netherlands. Analysing a large body of French and Dutch chronicles, Rosanne Baars innovatively demonstrates that the wider public was well aware of events abroad, though interest in foreign conflicts was far from constant. She sheds new light on the connections between the Dutch Revolt and the French Wars of Religion: contemporaries were gradually more inclined to see these wars as part of an international struggle. Baars argues that these times of civil war made inhabitants of both countries more apt at distinguishing rumour from reliable reports, thus contributing to the emergence of a public of critical news consumers.

Paper Nautilus
Author: Nicholas Jose
Publisher: Wakefield Press
ISBN: 1862549869
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 116
Book Description
'They wanted a love they could take into eternity.' In a small town on the Australian coast Penny grows up to marry the boy who has waited for her. Few know the truth about her birth. Her uncle Jack is one, for he shared with her father not only his childhood but also the horror of their wartime experience. Jack and Penny's special bond is as rare and precious as the beautiful nautilus shell they find washed up on the beach - entwined with its history are the secrets of their past and the tenacious passions of the other people who have had a stake in their lives. 'A novel of proportion that winds symmetrically back into itself like the exquisite paper nautilus shells of the title.' - Peter Goldsworthy 'A disarmingly simple story, told with an elegance of style that immediately adds distinction - a feat not to be taken lightly. The no-tricks simplicity of the prose reveals very accomplished tricks indeed.' - Thomas Shapcott 'Paper Nautilus reflects Jose's interest in the complex processes behind a single moment. It is surprisingly satisfying.' - Susan Lever 'Moral strength, narrative poise, descriptive grace and historical sensibility make Paper Nautilus a splended experience for the reader.' - Humphrey McQueen
