The Long SongAndrea Levy |

Fighting Ruben WolfeMarcus Zusak |
One of the ‘great novels about slavery’. Levy transports us to nineteenth-century Jamaica to depict the bloody and miserable fall-out from the abolition of slavery upon those suddenly homeless, penniless souls for whom “freedom” is revealed to be a poisoned chalice. Our narrator, July, tells us the story of her own life and times, and her interludes regarding the writing process provide some comic relief when the meat of the story grows bleak. An occasionally brutal tale which regularly tosses handgrenades of heartbreak at the reader, and it is not just the arrogant, cruel British who are found capable of terrible cruelties and shocking acts of betrayal. A truly entertaining and powerful novel. Available for AED 98 |
“What if we told you...that dishonesty in children is a positive trait that arguing in front of your kids can make you a good role model and that if you praise your children you risk making them fail ...and it was all true?” Using a cutting-edge combination of behavioural psychology and neuroscience, award-winning journalists Po Bronson and Ashley Merryman have produced an innovative, counter-intuitive read that will change the way we interact with our children forever. They demonstrate that for years our best intentions with children have been our worst ideas, using break-through scientific studies to prove that our instincts and received wisdom are all wrong. The implications, for how we raise our children and for how the education system must retool to address these new findings, could be far-reaching indeed. Available for AED 85 |
Keep it clean, fellas. Fair fight. Okay. Do it. Don't go down. If you go down, get up. The bell, the fists, the fight. It begins, and the first round is death. The second round is the coffin. The third is the funeral. The Wolfe brothers know how to fight - they've been fighting all their lives. Now there's more at stake than just winning. From the universally admired author of world-wide bestseller The Book Thief comes a tale of boxing and brotherhood. Available for AED 39 |
