Three years after the publication of his much-heralded, Pulitzer Prize-winning novel, "The Known World," Edward P. Jones returned with an elegiac, luminous masterpiece, "All Aunt Hagar's Children." In these fourteen sweeping and sublime stories, Jones resurrects the minor characters in his first award-winning story collection, "Lost in the City." The result is vintage Jones: powerful, magisterial tales that showcase his ability to probe the complexities and tenaciousness of the human spirit. "All Aunt Hagar's Children" is filled with people who call Washington, D.C., home. Yet it is the city's ordinary citizens, not its power brokers, who most concern Jones. Here, everyday people who thought the values of the South would sustain them in the North find "that the cohesion born and nurtured in the south would be but memory in less than two generations."
A shocking crime A mansion filled with suspects Ruth Van Rydock can't shake the feeling that something terrible is going to happen to her sister at Stonygates house. Her old school friend Jane Marple decides it's time to pay a visit. But this grand Victorian mansion isn't just a family home - it's also a correctional facility for wayward young men. And when something terrible does indeed happen, Miss Marple must face her most eccentric cast of suspects yet. Never underestimate Miss Marple 'If a genius is someone who leaves the field they work in totally different from how they found it, then we should certainly remember Agatha Christie as a genius.' Stephen Fry 'No one on either side of the Atlantic does it better.' New York Times

This delightful collection of stories reflects aspects of life as experienced in Jerusalem and Beirut over the past 60 years. From tales of surreptitious teenage romances in Jerusalem, to day-long curfews during the Lebanese civil war and a renegade rooster in Beirut, the stories tell the tale of people getting on with their normal lives against the odds - occasionally losing, but often succeeding.
Many of these stories are based on real events, and the author's own experiences - such as a visit to the Morteratsch Glacier in Switzerland with her sister in l966, which inspired "Murder in the Mountains". An organised coach trip through Austria in 2006 with her husband and several curious characters is faithfully recorded in "An Austrian Adventure", but with all the names changed. In the story "Jennie's Oak" this old tree existed in Hazelbadge Fields in Poynton, Cheshire where Carol and her family lived for twenty years. "Bedside Matters" was a painful recollection of the author's stay in Maccles - field hospital. "The Speaker for Tonight..." was gleaned from many talks given by the author to various organisations over several years and is apologetically accurate. Many of the shorter stories grew out of suggested titles given during Creative Writing classes, and projects for homework. This collection follows "Soap In My Eyes", 2005, memories of her career in television, which is still available to order. "DiVerse Re flections" published in 2012; "From Bottisham to Barcombe", a childhood journey through the second world war; "Stage Right", sketches and monologues for ladies; "Simply Stage Struck", the art of acting for amateurs, are all available from Fast-Print Publishers. In 2011, Carol wrote "The Cob Story", published privately in Porthmadog for the U3A, to celebrate the 200th anniversary of the building of the great embankment.
