This book is in good condition and was first published in 2003 by Picador. The spine is still tight, giving the impression it has been glanced through but not read. ## READ ON for more information and details. Please view the Images we provide.## ##.The Shape of Water is the gateway to a phenomenal series. Readers who embark on this journey will find themselves entangled in Montalbano's world?a place where crime, culture, and cuisine collide.## ## The Shape of Water, written by Italian author Andrea Camilleri, introduces readers to the enigmatic world of Inspector Salvo Montalbano. Set in the picturesque Sicilian town of Vigàta, this novel weaves together elements of crime, corruption, and culinary delights.## ## In the heart of Vigàta, where goats once grazed on the trash-strewn site known as the Pasture, a different kind of enterprise thrives. Drug dealers and prostitutes operate discreetly, their illicit trade flourishing. But when two employees of the Splendour Refuse Collection Company stumble upon the body of engineer Silvio Luparello, the tranquillity is shattered.## ## The coroner's verdict is surprisingly rare for Sicily: death from natural causes. However, Inspector Montalbano, a man as honest as he is streetwise, refuses to accept this conclusion. Despite pressure from Vigàta's police chief, judge, and bishop, Montalbano delves deeper into the case. His investigation leads him through a labyrinth of high-comedy corruption, vendettas, and carefully planted false clues.## ### Key Themes: Sicilian Atmosphere: Camilleri masterfully captures the essence of Sicily?the sun-drenched landscapes, the rich culinary traditions, and the complex social fabric. Character Depth: Montalbano emerges as a multifaceted protagonist?a blend of compassion, wit, and unyielding determination. Humour and Irony: The novel balances serious themes with moments of wry humour and biting irony.## ### About Andrea Camilleri, born in Porto Empedocle, Sicily, is celebrated as one of Italy's greatest writers. His extensive body of work spans both the 20th and 21st centuries. Camilleri's connection to the island's literary heritage is evident in his Montalbano series, which echoes the spirit of Luigi Pirandello. The wild olive tree, a recurring motif in the series, aids Montalbano's thinking?a nod to Pirandello's influence.## ## INTERNATIONAL BUYERS: Please Note. FREE SHIPPING IS UK ONLY.

However, her insecurities and penchant for mishaps lead her to suspect that Mark may be attracted to a colleague, fueling Bridget's quest for self-improvement. Bridget's journey is filled with humour and heart, from weight loss goals to quitting smoking.## ## Fielding explores themes of self-discovery and the societal pressures modern women face. Bridget's character embodies the struggle for personal growth amidst the chaos of everyday life. Her relatable experiences and inner monologue resonate with readers, making her a beloved figure in contemporary literature.## ## The book was well-received for its sharp humour and honest portrayal of a woman's life.

Fielding's sharp wit and keen observations make this book a must-read for those who enjoy a blend of humour and sincerity.## ## INTERNATIONAL BUYERS: Please Note. FREE SHIPPING IS UK ONLY.

Hardcover. Condizione: As New. Searle, Ronald (illustratore). 1st Edition. ### Cat O' Nine Tales and other stories - 2006 ### ~#~ THIS BOOK: Classified as AS NEW. No bumping or shelf marks. The Dust Jacket is intact, and the binding is as new too. Fantastic piece of fiction writing, a thriller in every sense of the word. # ### Cat O' Nine Tales is the fifth collection of irresistible short stories from the master storyteller. These yarns are ingeniously plotted, with richly drawn characters and deliciously unexpected conclusions, and with the bonus of illustrations by the internationally acclaimed artist, Ronald Searle. ## While incarcerated for two years in five different prisons, Jeffrey Archer picked up several ideas for short stories. They range from a tale of The Man Who Robbed His Own Post Office to the story of a company chairman who tried to poison his wife while on a trip to St Petersburg ? both with unexpected consequences. In another, Maestro, an Italian restaurateur ends up in jail, unable to explain to the tax man how he can afford a yacht, a Ferrari, a home in Florence, while only declaring a profit of £100.000 a year. ## The Red King is a tale about a con man who discovers that an English Lord requires one more chess piece to complete a set that would be worth a fortune. In another tale of deception, The Commissioner, a Bombay con artist ends up in the morgue after he uses the police chief as bait in his latest scam. The Alibi reveals how a convict manages to remove an old enemy while he is locked up in jail, and then set up two prison officers as his alibi. In total contrast is the accountant, who, in Charity Begins at Home, realizes he has achieved nothing in his life and sets out to make a fortune before he retires. ## And then there is Archer's favourite, which he came across after leaving prison, In the Eye of the Beholder, where a handsome premier division footballer falls in love with a twenty stone woman, who just happens to be the ninth richest woman in Italy.### #### INTERNATIONAL BUYERS: Please Note.
