the evening of 15 June 1815, the great and the good of British
Society have gathered in Brussels at what is to become one of the
most tragic parties in history - the Duchess of Richmond's ball.
For this is the eve of the Battle of Waterloo, and many of the
handsome young men attending the ball will find themselves, the
very next day, on the battlefield. For Sophia Trenchard, the young
and beautiful daughter of Wellington's chief supplier, this night
will change everything. But it is only twenty-five years later,
when the upwardly mobile Trenchards move into the fashionable new
area of Belgravia, that the true repercussions of that moment will
be felt. For in this new world, where the aristocracy rub shoulders
with the emerging nouveau riche, there are those who would prefer
the secrets of the past to remain buried . . . Read by Juliet

When Peter Pan flies through the Darling Children's nursery window
one night, he is nearly captured and makes a hasty escape, leaving
behind his shadow. Returning with the fairy Tinker Bell to reclaim
it, he wakes up Wendy, John and Michael, and whisks them away to
the magical shores of Neverland. There they meet the Lost Boys,
befriend Tiger Lily and her Braves, swim with the mermaids in the
lagoon and have a host of wonderful adventures. But danger awaits
too, for the terrible Captain Hook and his pirate gang are
determined to make them walk the plank... Abridged by Martin

SHEMILT Ruth's going to risk everything to have her daughter's
baby... Ruth Furnival has built the life she always dreamed of: a
stellar career in television, a lovely home, a lawyer husband and
two grown-up daughters. But at 54, with an empty nest and the
menopause behind her, she feels restless and dissatisfied. After
multiple rounds of failed IVF, her elder daughter Lauren is told
that the only way she and her husband can have a child of their own
is through surrogacy. So when Ruth discovers that, with the right
dose of hormones, she could carry their baby, they agree out of
desperation. At first Ruth is buoyed by a new sense of purpose, but
as her pregnancy progresses, long-buried events from the past
resurface. Meanwhile Lauren can't contain her corrosive envy.
Isolated and alone, Ruth starts to unravel and what began as an act
of altruism turns into one of atonement - for which she's willing
to risk everything. 'A fantastic book club choice...compelling'
