They overcame the impossible by doing the unthinkable- On 13th October 1972, a plane chartered by an amateur rugby team on their way to Santiago in Chile crashed in the Andes. Some of the forty-five passengers and crew were killed on impact, others seriously injured. Weakened by starvation, extreme cold, and by the awful knowledge that the search had been called off, the survivors had to face the inescapable truth: to live, they must eat the flesh of their dead companions.

Author: Douglas Kennedy
Sally Goodchild is a thirty-nine year old American who, after nearly two decades as a highly independent journalist, suddenly finds herself pregnant and in London… married to an English foreign correspondent, Tony Thompson, whom she met while they were both on assignment in Cairo.

From the outset, Sally's relationship with both Tony and London is an uneasy one - especially as she finds her husband and his city to be far more foreign than imagined. But her adjustment problems are soon overshadowed by a troubled pregnancy. When she goes into premature labour, there are doubts whether her child will survive unscathed. And then, out of nowhere, Sally is hit by an appalling post-natal depression - a descent into a temporary, but very personal hell, which even sees her articulating a homicidal thought against her baby.

However, when she does manage to extricate herself from this desperate dark wood, she finds herself in a fresh new ... more

Hardback
Author: Fay Weldon
The one and only Fay Weldon writes her one and only autobiography

From the 1930s to the 1990s, Fay Weldon has seen and lived our times. As a child in New Zealand, as young and poor in London, as unmarried mother, as wife, lover, playwright, novelist, feminist, anti-feminist, spag-bol-cook, winer-and-diner, there are few waterfronts that she hasn’t covered, few battles she hasn’t fought. An icon to many, a thorn-in-the-flesh to others, she has never failed to excite, madden, or interest. Her life and times cover love, sex, babies, blokes, poverty, work, politics, and Very Famous Names. The reader might feel inadequate, but will never be bored!

Moving from New Zealand to London to Scotland, from the UK to points east and west, Weldon has sipped, gulped, and sometimes spat out the things that make us what we are today.

When Sydney film producer Dimp Bettany discovers the memoirs of her ancestors, John Bettany and Sarah Bernard, she is convinced she has found the vehicle for her next masterpiece.

Filtered through Dimp's correspondence with her sister, Prim, an aid worker in the Sudan, we are drawn into the lives of John Bettany, a man far ahead of his time, as he shares his vivid impressions of a new colony, and his future wife Sarah, a former convict who has been interred in the notorious Female Factory and who has a close friendship with an English murderess.

Author: Faulks Sebastian
In 1942, Charlotte Gray, a young scottish woman, goes to Occupied France on a dual mission: to run an apparently simple errand for a British special operations group and to search for her lover, an English airman who has gone missing in action. Here is the full range of collaboration, from the tacit to the enthusistic, as well as examples of extraordinary courage and altruism. Through the local resistance chief Julien, Charlotte meets his father, a Jewish painter whose inspiration has failed him. In a series of shocking narrative climaxes in which the extent of French collusion with the Nazis is delineated, Faulks brings the story to a resolution of redemptive love.

Colditz Story, the - out of print order quantity

NZ$ 24.95 each
Paperback
Author: Reid P R
The original, best-selling true story of the Colditz 'escape academy', and how one man made it out of the impregnable castle and back to the UK.
Colditz was the last step for prisoners of war in World War II. An impregnable fortress, it was to Colditz that the Germans sent all those prisoners who persisted in escaping from other camps. However, during the four-year period when the castle was used as a prison, over 300 men escaped, 31 of whom managed to complete the hazardous journey home through Germany. This volume describes how prisoners from ten different countries formed an international escape academy. Skeleton keys were made, German passes and uniforms forged, maps drafted, and all manner of tools and machinery constructed out of whatever the prisoners had to hand. Pat Reid was one of the first captives to be imprisoned at Colditz in World War II. This is the tale of how he escaped.
