Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. In rural Ireland in 1950, a respectable widow has an affair with a visiting stranger. To conceal her pregnancy, she travels to Belfast, where she gives birth to a baby girl called Marie Therese. She returns to her village life, leaving her daughter to face a life of misery in Nazareth House Orphanage. Cruelly bullied and beaten by the nuns that were supposed to care for her, Marie Therese grows up withdrawn and an outsider. At 17, uneducated and afraid, she is forced to leave the orphanage to live with a manipulative couple that cause her to have a breakdown. Yet, astonishingly in the midst of this turmoil, Marie Therese strives to take control of her life, educating herself and gaining the confidence to establish a nursing career. Determined to find out who she really is, she finally sets out to trace a mother who the nuns told her did not exist. Marie Therese's story is about the resilience of the human spirit and the need we all have to discover who we really are.

Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. I came from a family of barely solvent aristocrats So begins one of the most refreshingly honest memoirs to have appeared in recent years. Richard Needham looks back on a life that straddles the worlds of commerce and politics, and that deeply influenced both those spheres. In captivating style, he traces his journey from innovative businessman to visionary and often controversial politician and back again to his roots in the commercial world. From Thatcher to Arafat, from Northern Ireland to China, the reader is treated to caustic wit, humorous anecdotes, and frank verdicts on those with whom he came into contact. One Man, Two Worlds is an engaging addition to the social and political record of the life and turbulent times of Sir Richard Needham, 6th Earl of Kilmorey. Richard is handicapped by wit, honesty and a lifelong inability to toe anybody elses line. Max Hastings As a politician and businessman, Richard Needham was talented, irreverent and from time to time high risk. His memoirs reflect all those traits, which makes it a delight to read. John Major Its a bloody marvellous book. Frank, fearless and funny but full of humanity. Penny Junor Richard Needham is both funny and full of highly interesting observations, especially on Northern Ireland where he was an excellent minister.

For a glimpse behind the realities of a political career ups and downs, roughs and smooths this is it.

Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. 15th April 1912 - a date that shook the western world - the day the great ship, the Titanic, sank, over 1,500 people drowned, a catastrophe so awful and so unexpected that it continues to fascinate and haunt us today. 31st May 2011 was the 100th anniversary of the launch of the Titanic. Thousands of people gathered in Belfast at advantage points including the top of the Albert Clock to witness the launch of ship number 401 at 13 minutes past noon. In "Titanic - Belfast's Own", Stephen Cameron looks at this most famous of ships from a new perspective. He tells of the conception and birth of SS 401, as she was known in the yard. Extensively illustrated, and packed with detailed information on her early days, this is the story of bringing a dream to life. So ambitious was this dream that men were to die before ever the ship was launched. But even when she had left Ulster's shores to sail to Southampton on the first leg of her fateful voyage, the Titanic had not finished with the people of Ulster. In a gripping and heart-rending chapter Stephen Cameron writes of Ulster people who sailed with the mighty ship. For many it was to be their last journey, as the dream turned to nightmare and the glory to pain.
