To Kill a Mockingbird
ISBN : 9781784752637
A lawyer's advice to his children as he defends the real mockingbird of Harper Lee's classic novel - a black man charged with the rape of a white girl. Through the young eyes of Scout and Jem Finch, Harper Lee explores with exuberant humour the irrationality of adult attitudes to race and class in the Deep South of the 1930s. The conscience of a town steeped in prejudice, violence and hypocrisy is pricked by the stamina of one man's struggle for justice. But the weight of history will only tolerate so much.
Bridget Jones
ISBN : 9781529952919
What do you do when a girlfriend's 60th birthday party is the same day as your boyfriend's 30th ? Is it morally wrong to have a blow-dry when one of your children has head lice ? Is sleeping with someone after 2 dates and 6 weeks of texting the same as getting married after 2 meetings and 6 months of letter writing in Jane Austen's day ? Pondering these, and other dilemmas, Bridget Jones stumbles through the challenges of single motherhood, online dating, and achieving 'acceptance and calm' in what SOME people rudely call 'middle age'.
