Book Description
A true and moving story of love, war, courage and indomitable spirit… One day the tall, gaunt father came to the house with the new wife and called the puzzled seven-year-old to him. She had never seen him before… ‘I am your father and you will call me Father, and this is your new mother and you will call her Mother,’ he said. Then he went away again, leaving little Bell with confusion in her mind and emptiness in her heart. In Mackie and Jack, the author travels with Mary ‘Bell’ Todd on a journey to remember a lonely childhood, a wartime marriage and what it took for her to succeed as a woman alone in a man’s world of livestock breeding in Australia. Empowered by inner strength and resilience, she confronted her challenges and overcame them. In 1942-1944, Mary’s husband, Squadron Leader Jack Todd faced challenges of another kind. Armed with bombs, depth charges and mines, the Catalinas of 11 and 20 Squadrons, Royal Australian Air Force, took the war directly to the Japanese by reaching out from Cairns in flights across the Pacific. From these squadrons alone, 187 men did not return. Jack Todd piloted the ill-fated mission of Catalina A24.34. Jack’s story is one of courage, leadership and valour in a war against an enemy that showed no mercy. An outstanding account of Australian war history and that of a woman who brushed aside those who stood in her way.

Reclaiming William Morris
Author: Michelle Weinroth
Publisher: McGill-Queen's Press - MQUP
ISBN: 9780773514393
Category : Design
Languages : en
Pages : 328
Book Description
A study providing a theoretical, historical, and exegetical analysis of the impassioned yet decidedly marginal propagandist texts of early 20th century English communists. Weinroth argues that the communists struggled to retain Morris's Englishness while promoting his political doctrine, thereby placing themselves in a paradoxical situation: they could not grip the masses without the aesthetic appeal of Englishness, but Englishness was imbued with the very imperialism they abhorred.

Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 325
Book Description
The unputdownable new psychological thriller full of suspense, family secrets and lies, from best-selling author Susan Wilkins. ‘An adrenaline-fuelled tornado of a novel with such strong female characters. I loved it.’ Laura Wilkinson. This is the fear she’s had from the beginning, the fear every mother has, of a loss too terrible to bear. Marcia Lennox has a life most people would envy: a loving husband, Harry, a beautiful and clever daughter, Phoebe, a high-flying career, and a pristine London home. But in her third week at university, Phoebe disappears. She leaves her phone, her credit cards and all her possessions in her room. Detective Sergeant Jo Boden is new to Cambridge, just finding her feet after leaving the Met, when Phoebe’s case lands on her desk. The police track Phoebe’s last known movements. But as Jo investigates, she begins to suspect the worst. A young love affair gone wrong? A botched kidnap attempt? An ex out for revenge? Clinging to the hope that Phoebe will be found, Marcia discovers her daughter had a secret life she had hidden from her parents. And Marcia knows about secrets. Her carefully constructed life is a front, created to escape her own past. Estranged from her own family, with a marriage on the verge of breakdown, Marcia must find the courage to return; a journey that drags her from her safe London bubble back to the wilds of East Anglia and the desolate Norfolk Fens. Can she face her demons to save her child? An emotional thriller with a jaw-dropping twist for fans of Rachel Abbott and Lisa Jewell. Readers love Susan Wilkins’ crime thrillers: ‘Well plotted and unflinchingly told.’ Sunday Express ‘Murder, corruption and a crafted plot make for a fine read.’ The Sun ‘This stylish, clever crime story never lets up… Blazingly brilliant.’ Sunday Mirror ‘Dark and gripping from first page to last, this is Susan Wilkins at her nail-biting best.’ Jessie Keane ‘I was engaged from the very first chapter… Brilliant.’ Goodreads reviewer, ★★★★★
