But every time Chloe falls in love, it's not the fairytale she dreams of.

Paperback. Condizione: New. This collection of fascinating reminisces captures the school days of those girls who attended the Presbyterian Ladies College (PLC) in Armidale, New South Wales during the period 1936 to 1964. Were their experiences to occur today they would surely cause gasps of horror. Not that there was anything immoral or illegal happening, the standards of accommodation, meals and uniform requirements were simply of their time; a time which included the war and post-war years with its attendant shortages, rationing and family losses. Despite the strictures, what shines through is the abiding emotional attachment the Old Girls have for their school and the friendships made, as well as the school's emphasis on encouraging individual strengths and talents, its stress on the belief that women should pursue a career and its complete lack of social snobbery. There are tales of girls 'getting up to no good' and as well as being amusing, these forays into naughtiness indicate that spirit and risk-taking cannot be extinguished, whatever the prevailing conditions. Ultimately it was these very conditions that provided a test of character and resilience. Ask PLC Old Girls of the 1936-1964 period what they think of it all and they'll laugh, give a shrug and say, as they do in some of the memories within this book, 'We survived.'. …

Paperback. Condizione: New. Spanning four decades and travelling from the island of Mallorca to England and Ireland, The Last Months of Violet Koski is a touchingly beautiful story that reminds us we are all connected. Isolated and seemingly alone in their worlds, a bullied child, a drug addict, a homeless man and an old woman in a nursing home are brought together through empathy, profound communication and the complex interconnections that surround us all. But how can Gabriel, the down-trodden child, ever bridge these geographic, cultural and age divides?

Paperback. Condizione: New. The University of Hull's online Master of Arts in Creative Writing is a two-year course where writers from across the world develop their literary craft. Fostering an atmosphere of collaboration, course modules include Writer's Craft, Writing The Short Story, Writing The Novel and Writing From Life, culminating in The Writer's Portfolio - a long-form piece of original work with accompanying academic commentary. In January 2024, this cohort, comprising writers from the Americas, Europe, Asia and Australia, gathered in Kingston-Upon-Hull to celebrate their graduation. Having spent the previous two years building friendships, critiquing one another's work, pushing creative boundaries and exploring new ways of writing, many finally met in person. As congratulations, conversations (and champagne) flowed, the idea to celebrate this success with the production of an anthology was born.

Paperback. Condizione: New. The 2nd anthology from Anja Mujic. I am the smallest among bodies lining the floor. The first breath of morning swells, magenta bruises forming on the window glass. Around me, the rhythm of dreams alternates; fruitless branches swaying inside the room's blueish walls, greyed with lack of light, as if foreshadowing. To some, we are in the White City. To others, we are playing house in the hornet's nest. To me, we are whatever war makes of us. …
