Paperback. Condizione: Fair. Rachel had escaped from her downtrodden life as the only child of poor Norfolk farmer, only to become the equally downtrodden wife of an Oxford academic who both despised and exploited her. Her children seemed to have no use for her and, when her father died and she had to go back to that miserable childhood home to clear up his effects, she started to wonder whether there was not some more fulfilling life somewhere else.

To solve the mystery Phyllida and Andras go on an idyllic pilgrimage to Tuscany, while Rachel, freed of her responsibilities and in love for the first time, finds a new life in the childhood home she thought she had left for good.…

Hardback. Condizione: Good. From the editor-in-chief and co-owner of the highly respected self-improvement site Pick the Brain comes an inspirational guide for overscheduled, overwhelmed women on how to do less so that they can achieve more. Women live in a state of constant guilt: that we're not doing enough, that we're not good enough, that we can't keep up. If we're not climbing the corporate ladder, building our side hustle, preparing home-cooked meals, tucking the kids in at night, meditating daily, and scheduling playdates, date nights, and girls' nights every week, we feel like we're not living our best lives. Yet traditional productivity books--written by men--barely touch on the tangle of cultural pressures that women feel when facing down a to-do list. Now, Erin Falconer will show you how to do less--a lot less. In fact, How to Get Sh*t Done will teach you how to zero in on the three areas of your life where you want to excel, and then it will show you how to off-load, outsource, or just stop giving a damn about the rest. As the founder of two technology start-ups and one of Refinery29's Top 10 Women Changing the Digital Landscape for Good, Erin has seen what happens when women chase an outdated, patriarchal model of productivity, and now she shows you how even the most intense perfectionist among us can tap into our inner free spirit and learn to feel like badasses. Packed with real-life advice, honest stories from Erin's successful career, and dozens of actionable resources, How to Get Sh*t Done will forever reframe productivity so that you can stop doing everything for everyone and start doing what matters to you.…
