Annie Mick

A life lived by someone who looks like you, but isn't you? 
And that's only the beginning of the story . . . and the complications. 
Saariella Hayes moved from California to New York with high expectations and a dream. Liam Jenkins was a handsome and dreamy, unexpected bonus. 
The dream turned into a nightmare, which in turn brought about a reality that shatters her world. 
While loyal friends and grumpy bodyguards help her pick up the pieces, only the man she loves can help her solve the puzzle. 
Recommended for 18+ audiences.

The Ghost Soldiers - Poems

James Tate

Pulitzer Prize–winning poet James Tate returns with his fifteenth book of poetry, an exciting new collection that offers nearly one hundred fresh and thought-provoking pieces that embody Tate's trademark style and voice: his accessibility, his dark humor, and his exquisite sense of the absurd.  Tate's work is stark—he writes in clear, everyday language—yet his seemingly simple and macabre stories are layered with broad and trenchant meaning. His characters are often lost or confused, his settings bizarre, his scenarios brilliantly surreal. Opaque, inscrutable people float through a dreamlike world where nothing is as it seems. The Ghost Soldiers offers resounding proof, once again, that Tate stands alone in American poetry.

The Poems of TS Eliot Read by...

T. S. Eliot

Originally broadcast on BBC Radio 4, Jeremy Irons's perceptive reading illuminates the poetry of T. S. Eliot in all its complexity. Major poems range from 'The Love Song of J.  Alfred Prufrock', through the post-war desolation of 'The Waste Land' and the spiritual struggle of 'Ash-Wednesday', to the enduring charm of 'Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats'.The Spectator praised Jeremy Irons's interpretation as 'so accessible, reading Eliot as if finding his words for the first time, grappling with them, relishing them, using them to express feelings that we all share as we struggle to accept, to recognise or relinquish'. Dame Eileen Atkins also appears alongside Jeremy Irons in the reading of 'The Waste Land'.
