In Memory of Us - Jacqueline Roy - Bog - Simon & Schuster Ltd - Plusbog.dk

What does it mean to remember? Joined at birth, then pulled apart, Selina and Zora’s relationship is marked by a pattern of closeness and separation. Growing up in 50s’ and 60s’ London under the shadow of Enoch Powell, they are instinctively dependent on each other, and yet Zora yearns for her own identity. But in the eyes of the people around them, the twins are interchangeable. They come as a pair. They are Selzora. Now in her seventies and living with the early stages of dementia, Selina is tracing shards of memory. She is intent on untangling the traumatic events of the past that changed the twins’ lives. Perhaps Lydia, who has reintroduced herself to Selina with sharp, cool charisma, will help her find answers. But even as Selina struggles to make sense of her memories, it’s all too clear that Lydia is hiding something. In Memory of Us is a profound evocation of memory, and the strategies employed for illusion and survival in the wake of racism. It offers an often-overlooked insight into life as a Black Briton after the Windrush generation.

Offering insight into life as a Black Briton after the Windrush generation, this thoughtful novel entertains and educates' Platinum 'Pacily written' The Observer ' A heartstring-tugging exploration of memory, grief and race in Britain.

This is an important novel. Roy’s writing is both subtle and supple.

In her novels, Roy demonstrates that the personal is always political. Here, she also reminds us of the necessity of facing the past to understand the present' Judith Bryan

The Hacienda - Peter Hook - Bog - Simon & Schuster Ltd - Plusbog.dk

The Hacienda - Peter Hook - Bog - Simon & Schuster Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Peter Hook, as co-founder of Joy Division and New Order, has been shaping the course of popular music for thirty years. He provided the propulsive bass guitar melodies of ''Love Will Tear Us Apart'' and the bestselling 12-inch single ever, ''Blue Monday'' among many other songs. As co-owner of Manchester''s Hacienda club, Hook propelled the rise of acid house in the late 1980s, then suffered through its violent fall in the 1990s as gangs, drugs, greed and a hostile police force destroyed everything he and his friends had created. This is his memory of that era and ''it''s far sadder, funnier, scarier and stranger'' than anyone has imagined. As young and naive musicians, the members of New Order were thrilled when their record label Factory opened a club. Yet as their career escalated, they toured the world and had top ten hits, their royalties were being ploughed into the Hacienda and they were only being paid £20 per week. Peter Hook looked back at that exciting and hilarious time to write HACIENDA. All the main characters appear - Tony Wilson, Barney, Shaun Ryder - and Hook tells it like it was - a rollercoaster of success, money, confusion and true faith.

The Unstoppable Golfer - Dr. Bob Rotella - Bog - Simon & Schuster Ltd - Plusbog.dk

It''s no secret that more than two-thirds of the shots a golfer makes are short ones: putts, chips and pitches. Long drives may garner applause, but whether a golfer wants to win the Masters or just five pounds from his mates on Saturday morning, it''s the little shots that make the difference. In The Unstoppable Golfer, Rotella, who has worked with stars such as Darren Clarke and Graeme McDowell, will teach readers how to use their minds to master the short game, by achieving a calm state of mind in which the focus is on only one thing - the hole. In addition to preparing players mentally, Rotella will also explain the science of memory, and how knowledge of the brain''s workings - in particular how it masters physical tasks - can improve a golf game, particularly the short game. The path to greatness isn''t an easy one, and a player needs inspiration, which will come from great stories about the golfers and other sports professionals that Rotella has worked with. Mastering the short game provides one of the ultimate pleasures of golf - and this is a pleasure readers will come to know by training their minds to become unstoppable golfers.

The Berlin Shadow - Jonathan Lichtenstein - Bog - Simon & Schuster Ltd - Plusbog.dk

A formally audacious and deeply moving memoir in three timeframes that confronts the defining trauma of the twentieth century, and its effects on a father and son. In 1939, Jonathan Lichtenstein ’s father Hans escaped Nazi-occupied Berlin as a child refugee on the Kindertransport . Almost every member of his family died after Kristallnacht, and, arriving in England to make his way in the world alone, Hans turned his back on his German Jewish culture. Growing up in post-war rural Wales where the conflict was never spoken of, Jonathan and his siblings were at a loss to understand their father’s relentless drive and sometimes eccentric behaviour. As Hans enters old age, he and Jonathan set out to retrace his journey back to Berlin. Published to coincide with the eightieth anniversary, this is a highly compelling account of a father and son’s attempt to emerge from the shadows of history. For readers who enjoyed East West Street , The Berlin Shadow is a beautiful memoir about time, trauma and family. Praise for Jonathan Lichtenstein's work: ‘The writing is keenly observed and emotionally resonant . . . an impressive achievement given the breadth of its reach, from Berlin in the 1930s to Bethlehem today’ New York Times on Memory
