“Better call Dr Warburton.”

“She’s babbling.”
“She’s lost a lot of blood.”
Blackness.
“Have we lost her?”
I don’t want to die!

A jumble of images, my mother, my father, but his face is so vague. “Daddy!” Nothing.

A man scowling, with a needle. “I’m going to put you to sleep. You won’t feel a thing. Just count backwards from ten...” “Ten, nine, eight...”

Nightmares, very vivid, all too real. So confused. So weak.

Distant voices. Laughter. A nurse, smiling, reassuring.

Aching all over. Can’t move my shoulder or arm. Very tired. More nightmares, too black to dwell on; make them go away...

Sweating. Drowning. I catch my breath, like breathing for the first time. Eyes blink awake. Gasping. Try to rise, but head hurts too much. Fall back on to the pillow. I ache all over, but I’m alive!

On the 1 July, 1916, 20,000 British troops lost their lives during the first day of the Somme.
Artillery had barraged the German lines for seven days, but the Germans were heavily dug in and many shells failed to explode due to the wet ground.
The bombardment signalled to the Germans that the British were coming, so once it had finished they emerged from their fortifications ready to face, and destroy, the enemy offensive.
But the Battle of the Somme was far more than just the 1 July 1916.
The four and a half month battle raged on until November 1916 and saw the introduction of the Tank, the creeping barrage and the development of air power.
Published as a short work just a year after the battle, John Buchan’s account of the first two phases of the Battle of the Somme, one of bloodiest battles of the Great War, leap off the page a century on.
Buchan goes beyond the first day of the Somme to provide a valuable account of the extended battle and the strategy used.
He describes the manoeuvres and the generals who led thousands of troops, and also deliberates on the nature of war and the state of mind needed by the men facing such a terrible battle.
As a war correspondent in France for The Times from 1915 Buchan was well placed to comment on such events.
The Battle of the Somme is a classic contemporary account of the one of the key battles of the First World War by one of the finest writers of the era.
John Buchan, first Baron Tweedsmuir of Elsfield, was born in Perth, Scotland in 1875. In 1900, Buchan moved to London, and two years later accepted a civil service post in South Africa. In the years leading up to World War I, he worked at a publishers, and also wrote Prester John (1910) — which later became a school reader, translated into many languages — as well as a number of biographies. In 1915 he published his most well-known book, the thriller The Thirty-Nine Steps. After the war he became a director of the news agency Reuters. Buchan would eventually publish some one hundred books, forty or so of which were novels, mostly wartime thrillers. In the latter part of his life he worked in politics, serving as Conservative MP for the Scottish universities and Lord High Commissioner of the Church of Scotland (1933-34). In 1935, Buchan moved to Canada, where he became the thirty-fifth Governor General of Canada. He died in 1940, aged 64.

The essence and meaning of transcendent love between two people—the kernel of human existence—is often found in the crucible of war. Such was the love between Bosko, a Serbian boy, and Admira, a Bosnian girl, who were caught in one of the most barbaric and brutal periods of the last century: the breakup of Yugoslavia.
The true story of Bosko and Admira captured the world’s attention, and the couple was embraced as the Romeo and Juliet of war-torn Sarajevo.
They would not be parted, even as they lived like animals among the dead and the dying; even as they hid from those who sought to destroy them. Bosko would not leave Admira when he had the chance. Admira risked her life so that they would never be separated. Caught in the maelstrom of a war, they lived their lives with passion and unbounded love for each other.
This novel is a fictionalized account of their love story.
In Sarajevo, where there was peace within despair and love amongst the hate on the blood-soaked sidewalks and ancient walls, it is said by some that you can still hear the whisper of these two lovers:
"Was there a time my love when we were not together."
"Never…never a time we shall not be together."

“Of the men whom the world currently terms Self-Made … our American Franklin stands highest” - Horace Greeley
Benjamin Franklin is sixty-eight years old when this second volume of his life’s story begins...
Through his incredible transformation from a runaway apprentice into one of the founding fathers of America, it is possible that Benjamin Franklin lived more in his life than any other man. And yet, his journey to becoming a founding father was not without its turmoil - it meant cutting ties with his son, leaving his country, and setting in motion the events that would unravel the French Aristocracy.
Chronicling his deterioration in health and the loss of his wife as he moved from his sixties into his seventies and eighties, this account demonstrates how Franklin nonetheless persisted in wringing every last drop out of his life. From being beloved in Versailles and a victorious peace-broker, to his position as three-time president of the Assembly of the State of Pennsylvania and crafting the American Constitution, it upholds Walter Isaacson’s view of Franklin as ‘the most accomplished American of his age’.
This second and final volume of James Parton’s Franklin biography is transcendent. A bright and compelling work that combines Franklin’s intensely personal letters to his wife and sister with quotes from some of the most famous texts in American history, The Life of Benjamin Franklin is a must read.
James Parton (1822-1891) moved with his family from England to the United States when he was five years old. After studying in New York and becoming a schoolmaster there and in Philadelphia, Parton started his writing career. He focused on the lives of the great men and women of his day, such as Thomas Jefferson, Horace Greeley, Voltaire and Benjamin Franklin. Imbuing traditional biographies with stylistic qualities borrowed from fiction, his novel approach quickly earned him a spot as the most popular biographer of his day. Harriet Beecher Stowe thanked him "for the pleasure you have given me in biographical works which you have had the faculty of making more interesting than romance—(let me trust it is not by making them in part works of imagination)."
Mady Barnard is a thirty-three year old unmarried woman, who still lives with her mother…
However, it cannot go unnoticed that “Bad luck’s been on her even since she was born” .
Ever since then, her difficulties, combined with her unfriendly temperament, have become a favourite topic of conversation in the local community…
The Women’s League, in particular, can’t stop discussing Mady’s life, with their enthusiastic gossiping over regular cups of tea making it all too-clear that traditional village life is full of secrets and rumours.
But then a trip to Bristow results in an unlikely relationship forming between Mady and a local Welshman and no one is quite sure what the future has in store for them…
And soon flooding and forest fires disrupt family harmony and despite everything, the idea of community has never felt so strong, or as necessary.
Empathy and grievance are combined as each family tells of their distressing events and before long, marriage, birth and death connect them together.
Upon Several Occasions is an emotional literary tale, full of lively characters and creates a portrait of a community bound together.
