Be Careful What You Wish For, the fourth instalment in Jeffrey
Archer's The Clifton Chronicles, opens with Harry Clifton and his
wife Emma rushing to hospital to learn the fate of their son
Sebastian, who has been involved in a fatal car accident. But who
died, Sebastian or his best friend Bruno? When Ross Buchanan is
forced to resign as chairman of the Barrington Shipping Company,
Emma Clifton wants to replace him. But Don Pedro Martinez intends
to install his puppet, the egregious Major Alex Fisher, in order to
destroy the Barrington family firm just as the company plans to
build its new luxury liner, the MV Buckingham. Back in London,
Harry and Emma's adopted daughter wins a scholarship to the Slade
Academy of Art where she falls in love with a fellow student who
asks her to marry him. Both families are delighted until the future
mother-in-law, has a visit from an old friend who drops her
particular brand of poison into the wedding chalice. Then, without
warning, Cedric Hardcastle, a bluff Yorkshireman who no one has
come across before, takes his place on the board of Barringtons.
This causes an upheaval that none of them could have anticipated,
and will change the lives of every member of the Clifton and
Barrington families. Hardcastle's first decision is who to support
to become the next chairman of the board, and with that decision,
the story takes yet another twist that will keep you on the edge of
your seat. Continue the bestselling series with Mightier than the
Sword and Cometh the Hour.

'Gripping, heartbreaking and uplifting.' Christy Lefteri, author of
the million-copy bestseller The Beekeeper of Aleppo THEIR STORY
WILL BREAK YOUR HEART THEIR JOURNEY WILL FILL YOU WITH HOPE YOU
WILL NEVER FORGET THEIR NAMES When they are little girls, Cibi,
Magda and Livia make a promise to their father - that they will
stay together, no matter what. Years later, at just 15, Livia is
ordered to Auschwitz by the Nazis. Cibi, only 19 herself, remembers
their promise and follows Livia, determined to protect her sister,
or die with her. Together, they fight to survive through
unimaginable cruelty and hardship. Magda, only 17, stays with her
mother and grandfather, hiding out in a neighbour's attic or in the
forest when the Nazi militia come to round up friends, neighbours
and family. She escapes for a time, but eventually she too is
captured and transported to the death camp. In Auschwitz-Birkenau
the three sisters are reunited and, remembering their father, they
make a new promise, this time to each other: That they will
survive. Three Sisters is a beautiful story of hope in the hardest
of times and of finding love after loss. Heather Morris is the
global bestselling author of The Tattooist of Auschwitz and Cilka's
Journey, which have sold eight million copies worldwide. Three
Sisters is her third novel, and the final piece in the phenomenon
that is the Tattooist of Auschwitz series.
When his kindly master dies, a ten-year-old orphan living in seventeenth-century England joins a group of Separatists and follows them to Holland and on to America, where their quest for religious freedom becomes a struggle to survive.
