  Rich Deceiver: A Novel , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 709min

  Money changes everything in this darkly comic tale of romantic revenge. When shy, insecure Liverpudlian Ellie Freeman unexpectedly wins more than a million pounds in the football betting pools, she sees it as a way to transform the life of her bitter, frustrated, and, above all, distant husband Malcolm. She hides the news of her win from Malc, and uses the money to invest in a firm that will give her husband a better job than the warehouseman position he currently holds. And, indeed, the new job does make Malc a new man - a new man who suddenly envisions a life without Ellie. Can Ellie, too, become a new person? Can she become a stronger, more confident woman who is capable of winning her husband back…and is that even what she wants anymore? ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Dina Pearlman.

  Things I Couldn't Tell My Mother: My Autobiography , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 474min

  ‘Seeing Mum lying in a hospital bed, in what would be the last few days of her life, it was hard to marry her with the mother I had known. She allowed me to help her in a way that she would have normally rebuffed. She was not the mother who had constantly battled with her own emotions, and with her inability to express them without anger, fear or regret. To say that throughout my life we hadn’t always seen eye to eye might be something of an understatement....’ In this intimate and entertaining autobiography, Sue Johnston recounts her working-class Liverpudlian childhood with her close-knit family; her teenage years in the sixties, where she worked for Brian Epstein and was friends with the Beatles; and her acting success over the last three decades. But it is in her relationship to her mother that Sue has measured her life. They were close when Sue was a child, but when she moved to London to pursue her acting career her mother declared 'my life is over’. From then on, Sue and her dad had to choose what they would or wouldn’t report back to Mum. Today, after nursing her mother in her final months, and with her own son recently married, Sue has been compelled to revisit her life and assess just what it was that she couldn’t tell her mother – and to ask herself why. ungekürzt.

  Carousel

  2014 sophomore album from the Liverpudlian singer/songwriter. CAROUSEL is the eagerly anticipated follow up to Skelly's critically acclaimed solo debut THE POET & THE DREAMER. Featuring all original songs that already have the sound of timeless classics, Carousel was self-produced by Skelly at a friend's house using a basic set up and an array of guest musicians including ex-Coral members. Skelly's dream of a voice - swooning from bass to falsetto, and coupled with his innate sense of 'the song' - is at the forefront, as he delivers a heartfelt, eclectic and authentic album. Ballads of intense emotion alongside jazz and folk tinged acoustics. A compelling album to savor. Will no doubt resonate with aficionados of John Martyn, Tim Buckley, Nick Drake and Van Morrison's Astral Weeks.
