The Woman Who Walked Into Doors
Oxfam Online Shop Product Information
In what will be hailed as Roddy Doyle's finest novel to date, he tells the story of Paula Spencer, a working-class, alcoholic, battered woman in her 30s. From this bleak subject-matter, he creates a funny, tender, shocking and moving novel. 'My name is Paula Spencer. I am thirty-nine years old. It was my birthday last week. I was married for eighteen years. My husband died last year. He was shot by the Guards. He left me a year before that. I threw him out. His name was Charles Spencer; everyone called him Charlo.' The Woman Who Walked Into Doors is one of Roddy Doyle's finest achievement to date, the heart-rending story of a woman struggling to reclaim her dignity after a violent, abusive marriage and a worsening drink problem. Paula Spencer recalls her contented childhood, the audacity she learned as a teenager, the exhilaration of her romance with Charlo, and the marriage to him that left her powerless. Capturing both her vulnerability and her strength, Doyle gives Paula a voice that is real and unforgettable. Lean, sexy, funny and poignant, The Woman Who Walked Into Doors shows, yet again, that Roddy Doyle has an unparalleled gift for transforming ordinary life into great literature.

Oxfam Online Shop Product Information
Three women in their 50s - one widowed, one divorced and one never married - meet when they join a choir. When they decide to combine their talents to restore a run down hotel on the Cornish coast and turn it in to a spa offering holiday courses, conflict is bound to result. Three single women in their fifties meet when they join a choir. Lucy, recently widowed, is a cook and food journalist; Joanna, a successful business woman, never married; Rebecca is a divorced interior decorator. Each of the women is at a crossroads and they quickly form a bond. The trio decide to combine their talents to restore a crumbling pile in Cornwall and turn it into a cookery school and spa. The project brings its own conflicts, both professional and personal. The novel s themes touch on the sustaining power of female friendship and how a woman copes with mid life and onwards. Prue s narrative voice is warm, witty, wise, very accessible. Her characters are sympathetic and engaging: very different women but each with demons to face as she gets older and confronts a future without - perhaps - a man in it. Her knowledge of food and business adds detail and zest, enriching an already compelling tale.

An Elegy For Easterly
Oxfam Online Shop Product Information
Petina Gappah is the voice of Zimbabwe. In this powerful debut collection, she dissects with real poignancy the lives of people caught up in a situation over which they have no control, as they deal with spiralling inflation, power cuts and financial hardship - a way of life under Mugabe's regime. A woman in a township in Zimbabwe is surrounded by throngs of dusty children but longs for a baby of her own; an old man finds that his job making coffins at No Matter Funeral Parlour brings unexpected riches; a politician AEs widow quietly stands by at her husband AEs funeral watching his colleagues bury an empty coffin. Petina Gappah AEs characters may have ordinary hopes and dreams, but they are living in a world where a loaf of bread costs half a million dollars; a country expected to have only four presidents in a hundred years; and a place where people know exactly what will be printed in the one and only daily newspaper because the news is always, always good. In her spirited debut collection, Zimbabwean author Petina Gappah brings us the resilience and inventiveness of the people who struggle to live under Robert Mugabe AEs regime whilst also battling issues common to all people everywhere: failed promises, unfulfilled dreams and the yearning for something to anchor them to life.

Oxfam Online Shop Product Information
Elizabeth Stavely sits in the Bodlean library with trembling hands. Before her is a fragment of parchment which provides the clue she has been looking for to a story that has been untold for 400 years: a tale of intrigue, forbidden love and dangerous secrets in the Sultan's harem. Elizabeth Stavely sits in the Bodleian library with trembling hands. Before her is a fragment of parchment which has about it a dusty fragrance of roses, of sadness and great age. Here is the clue she has been looking for, to a story that has been untold for four hundred years. It is as though a voice is whispering softly to her across the centuries. Constantinople, 1599: merchants from all over Europe are vying with each other to gain trading rights in the Ottoman empire. Paul Pindar, a wealthy merchant, has been entrusted with the mission to deliver an extraordinary musical clock to the Sultan. But a disaster has befallen it on its journey from England, and the organ-maker Thomas Dallam must attempt to repair the effects of the seawater on the precious artifact. Pindar is troubled too by a secret sadness: the woman he once loved is now lost to him, drowned in a shipwreck. But there have been rumours of a new young slave with golden hair and skin like milk, sighted behind the gates of the Sultan's harem. Could this be his Celia? Deep inside the most private quarters of the Sultan's palace, a different drama unfolds: Hassan Aga, the Chief Black Eunuch, lies spreadeagled and helpless, his life slowly ebbing away. Beside him is an intricate ship made of spun sugar, perhaps carrying the poison that is about to take his life. A veiled figure stands over him, and as she moves away the light catches the huge emerald on her finger, causing it to glow like a cat's eye. The Aviary Gate is a tale of ancient alliances and intrigues, of forbidden love and dangerous secrets. Lush, magical and utterly absorbing, it is a masterful novel from one of our most acclaimed authors.

Mamma Mia! After Party Edition
Send It Product Information
MAMMA MIA became a West End smash when it hit London back in late nineties. With a story framed around the music of the Swedish pop band Abba crowds loved its raucous dance party vibe. Now it comes to the silver screen with some truly delightful performances from the likes of Meryl Streep and Pierce Brosnan. It is the story of Sophie (Amanda Seyfried) a young woman living on a picturesque Greek island with her mother Donna (Streep). Together Donna and Sophie run a ramshackle island inn and they are in the midst of preparing for Sophie's wedding. As the wedding approaches Sophie becomes troubled by the fact that she has never known her father. She was the result of one of her mother's summer flings and her mother has never revealed her father's identity. When Sophie stumbles upon her mother's diary she learns that there are three possible men who could be her dad. Without telling her mother she invites all three to her wedding. When Harry (Colin Firth) Sam (Brosnan) and Bill (Stellan Skarsgard) all arrive at the same time Donna is of course shocked and overwhelmed by seeing her old lovers again after such a long time. She turns to her two best friends Tanya (Christine Baranaki) and Rosie (Julia Walters) for their support and vows to just get through the wedding and weekend. Meanwhile Sophie spends time with each man determined to learn the truth.Major hi-jinks and confusion ensues all amidst the utterly romantic scenery and the rather irresistible swelling love ballads. Streep has a lovely singing voice and to watch her throw herself into this whimsical role is truly a delight. She looks like she is having a ball and it is hard not to shimmy along with her. Baranski reliably delivers an over-the-top showstopper and Brosnan's tender singing voice makes his character all the more touching. The film strives to be a jubilant celebration of mother/daughter relationships and the love between good friends and it is hard to resist its many charms.

Margrave Of The Marshes
Oxfam Online Shop Product Information
John Peel was one of the most influential figures in modern popular music, and it was thanks to his Radio One show that bands such as T-Rex, The Smiths, Radiohead and The White Stripes first came to prominence. This is his story, which he began to write just before his untimely death in 2004. Despite the number of claims in publishers blurbs, not many people actually achieve the status of legend in their own lifetime. Fewer still actually deserve that status. John Peel is the exception which proves that rule, a Great Briton whose contribution to British culture is undeniable, without whom popular culture would never have become popular. Beloved by millions - whether for his unstinting championing of musical talent on Radio 1 or for his wildly popular Radio 4 show "Home Truths" - this is the astonishing book he began to write before his untimely death in October 2004, completed by the woman who knew him best, his wife Sheila. The first half of the book, written by John, describes with characteristic humour his early life, from child to man, including his school days and National Service. You can hear the unique Peel voice in every sentence - rarely, if ever, before has a voice been so successfully transferred to paper. The second section, written by Peel's wife and soulmate of many years, Sheila Ravenscroft, gives us an intimate portrait of the man and his music, and the highs and the lows of everyday life at Peel Acres.;The completion of this book has been a labour of love for John's family and their passion has paid off. It's every bit as extraordinary as the man himself and a fitting tribute to a bona fide legend.
