At the age of eleven, Helena Frith Powell's mother gave her a
letter after school. It was from her real father her mother told
her, not the abusive and moody man Helena had always assumed was
the one. This new father was glamorous, an Italian film maker, and
he would like her to meet his family on a grand tour of Italy. The
moving discovery of Italy and the many relatives Helena never knew
she had is wittily described in Ciao Bella, the memoir of her trip
through Italy with her father. In a new twist, her father receives
a prestigious literary prize in 2008 at the age of 80 and is
reunited with her mother after 25 years - will it last?

reunion, she realises that he still has power to make her weak at
the knees. Marina finds herself struggling to choose between safety
with her surgeon or new passion with her teenage crush. She has to
decide: London or Rome, husband or lover?

Make it wine every time! * Stop eating on the move! Eating when

With the summer beckoning, life in France seems the ultimate dream
for all of us rosbifs. But behind the sun, the wine, and the
beautifully honey-coloured houses what is the reality of actually
living in France? Based on her own experiences, those of her
friends and of the many readers who write in to her Sunday Times
column French Mistress, Powell tells the story of the daily
passions in La Douce France warts and all in a fresh, fast and
humorous narrative.
Helena Frith Powell noticed her first wrinkle when she accidentally
caught sight of herself in her car's rear-view mirror. It set her
off on an entertaining quest to find the most potent weapons in the
battle against the effects of time on the face and body, without
spending a fortune.
The allure of the Frenchwoman-sexy, sophisticated, flirtatious, and
glamorous-is legendary. More than an eye for fashion or a taste for
elegance, the French je ne sais quoi embodies the essential
ingredients for looking and feeling beautiful. With wit, whimsy,
and wonder, British expatriate Helena Frith Powell uncovers the
secrets of chic living in All You Need to Be Impossibly French, a
cheeky guide to releasing your inner Frenchwoman. Delving deep into
a mysterious realm of face creams, silk lingerie, and
shopping-as-exercise, Powell reveals how French women stay
impossibly thin and irresistibly sexy by achieving the maximum
effect from the minimum amount of effort. Forget diet and
inspiration books and style guides-this is all you need to embrace
the wisdom of French living, and learn how to turn every day into
la petite aventure.
