The accomplished and evocative first novel by the Pulitzer
Prize-winning author of A Confederacy of Dunces. John Kennedy Toole
wrote The Neon Bible for a literary contest at the age of sixteen.
The manuscript was finally published twenty years after Toole's
death. The Neon Bible opens with the narrator, a young man named
David, on a train, leaving the small Southern town he's grown up in
for the first time. What unspools is the tender and tragic
coming-of-age story of a lonely child, a story that revolves around
David's unorthodox friendship with his great-aunt Mae - a former
stage performer who is fiercely at odds with the conservative
townspeople - and the everyday toll of living in an environment of
religious fanaticism. From the opening lines of The Neon Bible,
David is fully alive, naive yet sharply observant, drawing us into
his world through the sure artistry of John Kennedy Toole.

Hold on to the feeling of sunshine at the seaside with this
gorgeous romance, perfect for fans of Holly Martin and Jo Thomas.
When Sacha Collins, cafe owner and sundae-maker extraordinaire,
meets Italian archaeologist, Alessandro Salvatore in Rome, she's
grateful to him for being her tour guide. Now he's turned up in the
seaside village where she lives and is setting up a gelateria in
direct competition to her retro Summer Sundaes Cafe. She's only
been running her cafe for two years since taking over from her
father. Until now the only other shops on the boardwalk have been a
wool shop, an antique shop and a second-hand book shop. These have
helped rather than hindered her custom. How will her creative
sundaes made from fresh Jersey ice cream compete with his delicious
Italian gelato? Sacha is worried. Is there enough custom for both
businesses to thrive? Who is behind the strange changes being made
on the boardwalk? And when the oldest resident on the boardwalk is
threatened with eviction can Sacha and Alessandro come together and
find a way of helping her? For a peaceful little boardwalk
overlooking one of the quieter beaches on the island, there's an
awful lot going on and some of it is going to lead to big changes.
