The Children of Lovers (Hardback)
Judy Golding
The Children of Lovers is an interesting, intelligent memoir, written in an engaging and unsentimental style. In 1993, Golding died after an evening with the family, drunk and alone, at about 4am a bad time for a sufferer of night terrors... On the same night, in a nearby room, Judy had a prophetic dream that at last she could think and write whatever she liked. This book, so clear thinking and devoid of self-pity has emerged from that discovery. While William Golding may give The Children of Lovers its heft and weight, the author gives it wings, and her book takes flight in a light-spirited way that those brilliant, brilliant, demon-haunted novels never quite did.

Straight Up (Hardback)
Danny Dyer
Straight Up: My Autobiography finds Danny Dyer telling his full and riotous life story, from running with a tough crowd and getting into scrapes through to his current position as one of Britain's most recognisable film stars. With acting coming naturally to Danny, he was soon working with big stars and making a name for himself before landing a starring role in the hit film Human Traffic - a role that opened the doors into an A-list world. But with the highs came the lows and soon work dried up and he was shut out of an industry that didn't understand him, judging him by his reputation. Danny had no choice but to turn it around and sort himself out and this book sees him tell his real story. Funny, honest, full of swagger and jammed full of antics and hilarious anecdotes!
