the Victorian Black Country, for a tale of love, hardship and
fighting against the odds to succeed.Life is tough for Ella
Bancroft. After her father, Thomas, is wheelchair-bound by an
accident at the tube works, the responsibility for keeping a roof
over their head falls to Ella. Ella's mother died when she was ten,
and her sister Sally lives with her no-good, work-shy husband Eddy,
so is no help at all. If she and her father are to keep the
bailiffs from the door, then Ella must earn a living. But Ella is
resourceful as well as creative, and soon discovers she has a gift
for millinery. Setting up shop in the front room of their two-up,
two-down home in Silver Street, Walsall, Ella and Thomas work hard
to establish a thriving business. Before long, the fashionable
ladies of the Black Country are lining up to wear one of Ella's
beautiful creations, and finally Ella dares to hope for a life with
love, friendship and family. Meeting the man she longs to marry
should be a turning point for Ella, but life's twists and turns can
be cruel. As the winter grows colder, events seem to conspire to
test Ella's spirit. And by the time spring is approaching, will the
hat girl of Silver Street triumph, or will Ella have to admit
defeat as all her dreams are tested. The Queen of the Black Country

From internationally acclaimed author Anne Enright comes a
shattering novel set in a small town on Ireland's Atlantic coast.
The Green Road is a tale of family and fracture, compassion and
selfishness-a book about the gaps in the human heart and how we
strive to fill them. Spanning thirty years, The Green Road tells
the story of Rosaleen, matriarch of the Madigans, a family on the
cusp of either coming together or falling irreparably apart. As
they grow up, Rosaleen's four children leave the west of Ireland
for lives they could have never imagined in Dublin, New York, and
Mali, West Africa. In her early old age their difficult, wonderful
mother announces that she's decided to sell the house and divide
the proceeds. Her adult children come back for a last Christmas,
with the feeling that their childhoods are being erased, their
personal history bought and sold. A profoundly moving work about a
family's desperate attempt to recover the relationships they've
lost and forge the ones they never had, The Green Road is Enright's
most mature, accomplished, and unforgettable novel to date.

Wilson never expected to find love again. But when a kindly
stranger helps her home with her shopping and she invites him in
for a cup of tea, it marks the start of a slow-burning friendship.
Mary's affection for Bill grows steadily, despite his failing
health and repeated attempts to interfere by her scheming
daughter-in-law. But despite her growing feelings for Bill, Mary
finds it hard to adjust to sharing her life with someone again and
is reluctant to take the relationship further. It's only when
tragedy strikes Mary's family, that she realizes how much Bill has
come to mean to her and how she needs him now as never before. But
has she left it all too late . . .?

gets a job at the new local supermarket - but dreams of becoming a
model or actress. The two friends promise to keep in touch. But
when tragedy strikes, rumours and suspicion engulf the village, and

looks set to be torn apart. Will Rebecca and Cindy's friendship
survive? Will Rebecca ever see Cindy again?
