-: Picador, 2010. None. Paperback. Very Good. -. At the age of 45, Lucy Henshaw has finally left home. Her decision to go has been reached neither lightly nor suddenly, since her marriage has been broken for some eighteen years. However, as the mother of twin sons and a daughter, Lucy has felt it her duty to stay as a couple in the family house she was born in near Bolton, giving her children the security she knows they need. Now that her family is grown, content in the knowledge that she loves them, Lucy decides she is free to leave. She secretly purchases a beautiful house overlooking the Mersey, near Liverpool, and there she plans to start afresh. Within hours, she has met some characters: her new neighbour Moira, who is disabled and dying, and sees Lucy as the ideal new companion for her husband, Richard; Shirley Bishop, built like a battleship and a cleaner extraordinaire, towing her several-inches-shorter husband as a handy gardener behind her; and Dr David Vincent, who is grieving for the loss of his young son. It is soon apparent that Lucy need have no anxieties about being lonely. It is these new friends, too, who come to Lucy`s rescue when her husband Alan, falls ill. Always a wastrel and fraudster who has tried to control her, his illness only seems to offer him another opportunity to complicate Lucy`s life all over again. Mersey View is a compelling and gritty novel set in Liverpool, and is a wonderful story, rich with warmth and humour, by a much-loved storyteller at the height of her powers., Picador, 2010, 3, Routledge. 1.

Though the odds are absurd, hope is high. The spoils are too exciting to resist. Everyone can think of a time in their lives they would like to relive. Everyo ne has an 'if only' that hangs over them-a dream or a regret that enters their thoughts repeatedly.<br /><br />The three Time Lott ery winners will be privileged to travel back in time in order to relive a portion of their lives in their Alternate Reality--thei r Alternity. They enter the past without the burden (or advantage ) of remembering what happened the first time around. Yet through the technology of the Time Lottery, they will make a different c hoice, and live out different results.<br /><br />After one week in their pasts, the time-travelers will be given an hour of Dual- Consciousness, a condition where they will be able to see both th eir lives with full knowledge. At this point they will face a uni que decision. They can stay in the past--where the Dual-Conscious ness will fade and they will live out their lives oblivious of th e future. Or, they can return to the present, their lives made ri cher from their experience.<br /><br />Three winners: socialite P hoebe, surgeon Cheryl, homeless Roosevelt, get their chance, whil e Alexander MacMillan's job is to market the Time Lottery, facing regrets of his own.</p> ., Barbour, 2002, 2, Bailliere Tindall, 06/09/2004.

'This book is a condensation of twelve volumes written by former key officers of the German Air Force for the United States Air Force Historical Division on why the legendary Luftwaffe disintegrated under wartime pressures in World War II. With one exception, an historian, all the authors are former Luftwaffe generals who held important staff positions before and during the war. 'Based on personal experience and knowledge, the perspective of the authors is neither unbiased nor history in the ordinary sense of the word. Instead, their insight into the rise and Hall of the Luftwaffe-intimate, reflective, and in many ways incomplete-constitutes a vital part of the story of the air war over Europe, fascinating in itself and an essential part of any comprehensive history of World War II. 'As their story unfolds, the reader is constantly reminded that these are Germans recalling, reporting, and analyzing decisions made and actions taken in Nazi Germany, a dictatorship under the complete sway of Adolf Hitler. As military officers, they accepted the political decisions-war or peace-made by Hitler. As Air Force officers, they were aghast at some of the military decisions by their leaders and at the internal politics, personality conflicts, and planning mistakes made at high levels in the years preceding the war and during the war itself ., Sidgwick & Jackson Ltd, 1979, 3<
