No one can believe, on this golden evening, that there could ever be another war. Returning to London seven years later, Sidney has gained a Military Cross, and lost his best friend on the battlefields of Italy. The carefree youth that he and his friends were promised has been blown apart, just like the rest of the world - and Sidney, carrying a terrible, secret guilt, must decide what to do with the rest of his life. But he has heard a call, constant, though quiet, and growing ever more persistent. To the incredulity of his family and the derision of his friends, the irrepressible actor Freddie, and the beautiful, spiky Amanda, Sidney must now negotiate his path to God, the course of which, much like true love, never runs smooth.

'The New Silk Roads' takes a fresh look at the network of relationships being formed along the length and breadth of the Silk Roads today. The world is changing dramatically and in an age of post Brexit, covid and Trump, the themes of isolation and fragmentation permeating the western world stand in sharp contrast to events along the Silk Roads, where ties have been strengthened and some mutual cooperation established. Following the Silk Roads eastwards from Europe through to China, by way of Russia and the Middle East, 'The New Silk Roads' provides a timely reminder that we live in a world that is profoundly interconnected. In this prescient contemporary history, Peter Frankopan assesses the global reverberations of these continual shifts in the centre of power, all too often absent from headlines in the west. This important and ultimately hopeful book asks us to reread who we are and where we are in the world, illuminating the themes on which all our lives and livelihoods depend. Quite a scarce book.

It fell, and as it did it became a falcon. He was transfixed'. Julian's fall begins the moment he sets eyes on Julia. Julia is married and eight years his senior, he is a gifted English student, a life of academia ahead. Ignoring warnings from family and friends they each give up all they have to be together. Their new life in London offers immense happiness, especially after their longed for daughter Mira is born. When Julian hears that Firdaws, his boyhood home, is for sale he sets out to recreate a lost paradise for his new family. Once again, love blinds him. It is only when Mira becomes terrifyingly ill that it is impossible for Julia to conceal from him the explosive secret that she has been keeping at the heart of their lives.
