Is he, in fact, capable of love at all?</p><p>Jill Dawson's <em>The Great Lover</em> imaginatively and playfully gives new voice to Rupert Brooke through the poet's own words and through the remembrances of the spirited Nell.

The sensational trial, which took place in front of heaving crowds at the Old Bailey, unravelled a real life drama as exciting as any blockbuster: an illicit love affair, a back-street abortion, domestic violence, murder and a double execution. FRED AND EDIE draws together powerful threads between personal memory and public lives, between innocence and responsibility, and between fact and fiction. It is an exploration of a woman caught in the net of her own private fantasy and the conflicts of the era in which she lived, of her muddled attempt to defy convention and reshape her own destiny, and, finally, of the devastation she left in her wake.</td> </tr> </table> ]]> </summary> <s:tag>TYPE|book</s:tag> <s:variant> <id>https://www.worldofbooks.com/en-gb/products/9869296959761</id> <title>GB / VERY_GOOD</title> <s:price currency="GBP">0.00</s:price> <s:sku>GOR002643592</s:sku> <s:grams>220</s:grams> </s:variant> </entry> <entry> <id>https://www.worldofbooks.com/en-gb/products/9844971700497</id> <published>2024-06-15T23:17:09+01:00</published> <updated>2024-06-15T23:17:09+01:00</updated> <link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="https://www.worldofbooks.com/en-gb/products/gas-and-air-book-jill-dawson-9780747558231"/> <title>Gas and Air</title> <s:type>Book</s:type> <s:vendor>WoB</s:vendor> <summary type="html"> <![CDATA[<table border="0"> <tr> <td width="200"><img width="200" src="https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0784/4072/6801/files/074755823X.jpg?v=1718489830"></td> <td valign="bottom"> <p> <strong>Vendor: </strong>WoB<br> <strong>Type: </strong>Book<br> <strong>Price: </strong> 0.00 </p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2">22 stunning tales of pregnancy, birth and beyond...Emily Perkins, Polly Samson, Peter Carey, Julia Darling, Judith Bryan, Roddy Doyle, Jill Dawson, Chandani Lokuge, Eva Sallis, Margo Daly, Bridget O'Connor, Christopher Cyril, Alice Jerome, Bernard Cohen, David Guterson, Kathy Page, Kathryn Heyman, Nikki Gemmel, Simone Lazeroo, Hannah Fink, Nick Hornby, Rosie Waitt This highly varied and vibrant mosaic of fiction and memoir by some of our finest contemporary writers captures the individual and unique, as well as the quotidian and universal, in the birth experience. As Kathy Page's narrator puts it to her baby, 'You and I, the two of us, moving on, but the same time going back, where everyone has been before.' Here are the alterations of consciousness, the anxieties, vulnerabilities and glories of mothers; the baffled and triumphant perspectives of fathers. The full range of experience of new parents has been included, so that along with the intensity, joys and passions, there are still-births, unwanted pregnancies, post-natal depression, resentment of the father (who is at least able to slip out for a pint of Guinness - superbly captured in Jill Dawson's 'Twilight Zone'), plus autism, feelingly described by Nick Hornby. This is a moving and enlightening anthology, one to satisfy the cravings of expectant parents, certainly, but also for everyone else keen on fine prose and curious about the beginnings of life for us all.</td> </tr> </table> ]]> </summary> <s:tag>TYPE|book</s:tag> <s:variant> <id>https://www.worldofbooks.com/en-gb/products/9844971700497</id> <title>GB / WELL_READ</title> <s:price currency="GBP">0.00</s:price> <s:sku>GOR003556422</s:sku> <s:grams>232</s:grams> </s:variant> <s:variant> <id>https://www.worldofbooks.com/en-gb/products/9844971700497</id> <title>GB / GOOD</title> <s:price currency="GBP">0.00</s:price> <s:sku>GOR001443447</s:sku> <s:grams>0</s:grams> </s:variant> <s:variant> <id>https://www.worldofbooks.com/en-gb/products/9844971700497</id> <title>GB / VERY_GOOD</title> <s:price currency="GBP">0.00</s:price> <s:sku>GOR000910567</s:sku> <s:grams>0</s:grams> </s:variant> </entry> <entry> <id>https://www.worldofbooks.com/en-gb/products/9843701612817</id> <published>2024-06-15T20:40:25+01:00</published> <updated>2024-06-15T20:40:25+01:00</updated> <link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="https://www.worldofbooks.com/en-gb/products/virago-book-of-love-letters-book-jill-dawson-9781853817236"/> <title>The Virago Book of Love Letters</title> <s:type>Book</s:type> <s:vendor>WoB</s:vendor> <summary type="html"> <![CDATA[<table border="0"> <tr> <td width="200"><img width="200" src="https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0784/4072/6801/files/1853817236.jpg?v=1718480426"></td> <td valign="bottom"> <p> <strong>Vendor: </strong>WoB<br> <strong>Type: </strong>Book<br> <strong>Price: </strong> 0.00 </p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2">A collection of love letters by the famous, such as Anne Boleyn and the Empress Josephine, together with those from unknown women - a miner's wife writing to her dead husband, POWs in Russian jails writing to their families - as well as contemporary figures such as Winnie Mandela.</td> </tr> </table> ]]> </summary> <s:tag>TYPE|book</s:tag> <s:variant> <id>https://www.worldofbooks.com/en-gb/products/9843701612817</id> <title>GB / VERY_GOOD</title> <s:price currency="GBP">0.00</s:price> <s:sku>GOR004514595</s:sku> <s:grams>410</s:grams> </s:variant> <s:variant> <id>https://www.worldofbooks.com/en-gb/products/9843701612817</id> <title>GB / GOOD</title> <s:price currency="GBP">0.00</s:price> <s:sku>GOR006130681</s:sku> <s:grams>410</s:grams> </s:variant> <s:variant> <id>https://www.worldofbooks.com/en-gb/products/9843701612817</id> <title>US / VERY_GOOD</title> <s:price currency="GBP">0.00</s:price> <s:sku>CIN1853817236VG</s:sku> <s:grams>410</s:grams> </s:variant> <s:variant> <id>https://www.worldofbooks.com/en-gb/products/9843701612817</id> <title>GB / WELL_READ</title> <s:price currency="GBP">0.00</s:price> <s:sku>GOR013884395</s:sku> <s:grams>0</s:grams> </s:variant> </entry> <entry> <id>https://www.worldofbooks.com/en-gb/products/9841186472209</id> <published>2024-06-15T16:06:16+01:00</published> <updated>2024-06-15T16:06:16+01:00</updated> <link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="https://www.worldofbooks.com/en-gb/products/the-crime-writer-book-dawson-jill-9780062669582"/> <title>The Crime Writer</title> <s:type>Book</s:type> <s:vendor>WoB</s:vendor> <summary type="html"> <![CDATA[<table border="0"> <tr> <td width="200"><img width="200" src="https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0784/4072/6801/files/0062669583.jpg?v=1718463978"></td> <td valign="bottom"> <p> <strong>Vendor: </strong>WoB<br> <strong>Type: </strong>Book<br> <strong>Price: </strong> 0.00 </p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><p>From acclaimed novelist Jill Dawson comes this imaginative psychological thriller--a dark and compelling snapshot into the life of Patricia Highsmith that immerses readers into the intoxicating, nightmarish psyche of this brilliant, complex author. </p><p>When novelist Patricia Highsmith moves into a small cottage in Suffolk, England, in the mid-1960s, she's seeking seclusion and time to write. There's another reason for seeking privacy too--Pat is involved in a secret romance with Sam, a married woman living in London.</p><p>But even in this quaint village, Pat can't escape the obligations of her success. A young reporter, Virginia Ginny Smythson-Balby, sets her sights on Pat for an article she's writing. Ginny is both tenacious and oddly familiar, but Pat can't quite place where she's seen her before. Intent on unearthing details about Pat's fascination with not just the subject of murder but the psychology of a murderer, Ginny constantly intrudes into the sanctuary Pat had hoped to create, much to her dismay. </p><p>As Pat observes, love is a kind of madness.

The sensational trial, which took place in front of heaving crowds at the Old Bailey, unravelled a real life drama as exciting as any blockbuster: an illicit love affair, a back-street abortion, domestic violence, murder and a double execution. FRED AND EDIE draws together powerful threads between personal memory and public lives, between innocence and responsibility, and between fact and fiction.

She has another motive too - a secret romance with a married lover based in London. Unfortunately it soon becomes clear that all her demons have come with her. Prowlers, sexual obsessives, frauds, imposters, suicides and murderers: the tropes of her fictions clamour for her attention, rudely intruding on her peaceful Suffolk retreat. After the arrival of Ginny, an enigmatic young journalist bent on interviewing her, events take a catastrophic turn. Except, as always in Highsmith's troubled life, matters are not quite as they first appear . . . Masterfully recreating Highsmith's much exercised fantasies of murder and madness, Jill Dawson probes the darkest reaches of the imagination in this novel - at once a brilliant portrait of a writer and an atmospheric, emotionally charged, riveting tale.</td> </tr> </table> ]]> </summary> <s:tag>TYPE|book</s:tag> <s:variant> <id>https://www.worldofbooks.com/en-gb/products/9812184465681</id> <title>GB / LIKE_NEW</title> <s:price currency="GBP">0.00</s:price> <s:sku>GOR008467349</s:sku> <s:grams>200</s:grams> </s:variant> <s:variant> <id>https://www.worldofbooks.com/en-gb/products/9812184465681</id> <title>GB / VERY_GOOD</title> <s:price currency="GBP">0.00</s:price> <s:sku>GOR008184757</s:sku> <s:grams>200</s:grams> </s:variant> <s:variant> <id>https://www.worldofbooks.com/en-gb/products/9812184465681</id> <title>GB / NEW</title> <s:price currency="GBP">0.00</s:price> <s:sku>NGR9781444731132</s:sku> <s:grams>200</s:grams> </s:variant> <s:variant> <id>https://www.worldofbooks.com/en-gb/products/9812184465681</id> <title>US / GOOD</title> <s:price currency="GBP">0.00</s:price> <s:sku>CIN1444731130G</s:sku> <s:grams>0</s:grams> </s:variant> <s:variant> <id>https://www.worldofbooks.com/en-gb/products/9812184465681</id> <title>US / VERY_GOOD</title> <s:price currency="GBP">0.00</s:price> <s:sku>CIN1444731130VG</s:sku> <s:grams>0</s:grams> </s:variant> </entry> <entry> <id>https://www.worldofbooks.com/en-gb/products/9811682099473</id> <published>2024-06-14T22:14:54+01:00</published> <updated>2024-06-14T22:14:54+01:00</updated> <link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="https://www.worldofbooks.com/en-gb/products/wild-boy-book-jill-dawson-9780340822968"/> <title>Wild Boy</title> <s:type>Book</s:type> <s:vendor>WoB</s:vendor> <summary type="html"> <![CDATA[<table border="0"> <tr> <td width="200"><img width="200" src="https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0784/4072/6801/files/0340822961.jpg?v=1718399695"></td> <td valign="bottom"> <p> <strong>Vendor: </strong>WoB<br> <strong>Type: </strong>Book<br> <strong>Price: </strong> 0.00 </p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2">In post-Revolution France, a child is discovered in the forests near Aveyron, where he seems to have been living wild for seven years. Now 12 years old, the Wild Boy, as he becomes known, is captured, put on public display as a freak, and finally handed over to the ambitious, repressed Doctor Itard, who is charged with studying the Wild Boy, who he names Victor, and trying to discover the secrets of his strange, secret life. But Victor soon becomes a pawn in the raging debate about nature vs nurture, and Itard's attempts to educate and civilise him bear little fruit. Instead, Victor seems drawn to Mme Guerin, his maternal guardian - and to her vivacious daughter, Julie, who is herself falling for Itard as he struggles to understand both Victor and his own confused emotions. Giving a vivid sense of the Revolutionary period, the novel brings to life through the stories of three fascinating characters a mysterious case that still resonates today.</td> </tr> </table> ]]> </summary> <s:tag>TYPE|book</s:tag> <s:variant> <id>https://www.worldofbooks.com/en-gb/products/9811682099473</id> <title>GB / VERY_GOOD</title> <s:price currency="GBP">0.00</s:price> <s:sku>GOR005997340</s:sku> <s:grams>472</s:grams> </s:variant> <s:variant> <id>https://www.worldofbooks.com/en-gb/products/9811682099473</id> <title>US / GOOD</title> <s:price currency="GBP">0.00</s:price> <s:sku>CIN0340822961G</s:sku> <s:grams>0</s:grams> </s:variant> </entry> <entry> <id>https://www.worldofbooks.com/en-gb/products/9811091489041</id> <published>2024-06-14T21:55:16+01:00</published> <updated>2024-06-14T21:55:16+01:00</updated> <link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="https://www.worldofbooks.com/en-gb/products/language-of-birds-book-jill-dawson-9781473654532"/> <title>The Language of Birds</title> <s:type>Book</s:type> <s:vendor>WoB</s:vendor> <summary type="html"> <![CDATA[<table border="0"> <tr> <td width="200"><img width="200" src="https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0784/4072/6801/files/147365453X.jpg?v=1718398518"></td> <td valign="bottom"> <p> <strong>Vendor: </strong>WoB<br> <strong>Type: </strong>Book<br> <strong>Price: </strong> 0.00 </p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2">Drawing on the infamous Lord Lucan affair, this compelling novel explores the roots of a shocking murder from a fresh perspective and brings to vivid life an era when women's voices all too often went unheard. In the summer of 1974, Mandy River arrives in London to make a fresh start and begins working as nanny to the children of one Lady Morven. She quickly finds herself in the midst of a bitter custody battle and the house under siege: Lord Morven is having his wife watched. According to Lady Morven, her estranged husband also has a violent streak, yet she doesn't seem the most reliable witness. Should Mandy believe her? As Mandy tries to shield her young charges from harm, her friend Rosemary watches from the wings - an odd girl with her own painful past and a rare gift. This time, though, she misreads the signs.</td> </tr> </table> ]]> </summary> <s:tag>TYPE|book</s:tag> <s:variant> <id>https://www.worldofbooks.com/en-gb/products/9811091489041</id> <title>GB / VERY_GOOD</title> <s:price currency="GBP">0.00</s:price> <s:sku>GOR010561593</s:sku> <s:grams>276</s:grams> </s:variant> <s:variant> <id>https://www.worldofbooks.com/en-gb/products/9811091489041</id> <title>US / GOOD</title> <s:price currency="GBP">0.00</s:price> <s:sku>CIN147365453XG</s:sku> <s:grams>0</s:grams> </s:variant> </entry> <entry> <id>https://www.worldofbooks.com/en-gb/products/9805633356049</id> <published>2024-06-14T16:12:20+01:00</published> <updated>2024-06-14T16:12:20+01:00</updated> <link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="https://www.worldofbooks.com/en-gb/products/lucky-bunny-book-jill-dawson-9780340935682"/> <title>Lucky Bunny</title> <s:type>Book</s:type> <s:vendor>WoB</s:vendor> <summary type="html"> <![CDATA[<table border="0"> <tr> <td width="200"><img width="200" src="https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0784/4072/6801/files/0340935685.jpg?v=1718377941"></td> <td valign="bottom"> <p> <strong>Vendor: </strong>WoB<br> <strong>Type: </strong>Book<br> <strong>Price: </strong> 0.00 </p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2">Crime's a man's business. So they say. Who was that small figure then, slender enough to trot along the moonlit track, swift and low, virtually invisible? Who was it that covered the green signal with a glove to stop the train, while the two others took care of the driver and his mate? Could it have been one Queenie Dove, survivor of the Depression and the Blitz, not to mention any number of scrapes with the law? Queenie Dove is a self-proclaimed genius when it comes to thieving and escape. Daring, clever and sexy, she ducked and dived through the streets of London from the East End through Soho to Mayfair, graduating from childhood shop-lifting to more glamorous crimes in the post-war decades. So was she wicked through and through, or more sinned against than sinning? Here she tells a vivacious tale of trickery and adventure, but one with more pain and heartbreak than its heroine cares to admit. Yes, luck often favoured her, but that is only part of the story.</td> </tr> </table> ]]> </summary> <s:tag>TYPE|book</s:tag> <s:variant> <id>https://www.worldofbooks.com/en-gb/products/9805633356049</id> <title>GB / VERY_GOOD</title> <s:price currency="GBP">0.00</s:price> <s:sku>GOR003961767</s:sku> <s:grams>210</s:grams> </s:variant> </entry> <entry> <id>https://www.worldofbooks.com/en-gb/products/9804456395025</id> <published>2024-06-14T15:22:33+01:00</published> <updated>2024-06-14T15:22:33+01:00</updated> <link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="https://www.worldofbooks.com/en-gb/products/watch-me-disappear-book-jill-dawson-9780340822982"/> <title>Watch Me Disappear</title> <s:type>Book</s:type> <s:vendor>WoB</s:vendor> <summary type="html"> <![CDATA[<table border="0"> <tr> <td width="200"><img width="200" src="https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0784/4072/6801/files/0340822988.jpg?v=1718374955"></td> <td valign="bottom"> <p> <strong>Vendor: </strong>WoB<br> <strong>Type: </strong>Book<br> <strong>Price: </strong> 0.00 </p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2">By the author of "Fred and Edie", this is a subtle, superbly written psychological chiller about desire both innocent and warped. Tina Humber is 40 and living in the States when a moment of panic about her 10 year-old daughter triggers the memory of her childhood friend, Mandy Baker, who went missing at the same age from the sleepy Cambridgeshire village where they grew up. As Tina replays events and the past comes back to life, she begins to suspect the awful truth of what happened to Mandy. But after so many years, will anyone believe what is based on nothing more than conjecture, intuition and fragments of memory? And even if she is able to placate the ghost of Mandy Baker, there will be profound consequences for the living, including herself. Set against the backdrop of the waterlogged Fens, Jill Dawson's powerful new novel captures the mysteries of childhood, and that volatile transitional stage when girls become aware of their attractions - but do not grasp the dangers.</td> </tr> </table> ]]> </summary> <s:tag>TYPE|book</s:tag> <s:variant> <id>https://www.worldofbooks.com/en-gb/products/9804456395025</id> <title>GB / VERY_GOOD</title> <s:price currency="GBP">0.00</s:price> <s:sku>GOR002091284</s:sku> <s:grams>445</s:grams> </s:variant> </entry> </feed>
