Hot, Hot Summer - Maggie Allder - Bog - Troubador Publishing - Plusbog.dk

Hot, Hot Summer - Maggie Allder - Bog - Troubador Publishing - Plusbog.dk

After overcoming so many difficulties, the ordinary people living on En-Somi might think that things would settle down at last, but life is rarely that simple. Wee Elin, who seemed likely to be the next bard and the first ever girl to have that role, becomes involved with the son of one of the wealthy elite. Can anything good come of this? And then the young teenager vanishes. Has she left the island? Is she even still alive? And will Marie be able to help her, if she is found? Through a hot and stormy summer, the folk of the little village of Hus speculate and worry. Only the old Bard, Olaf, becomes convinced that all will be well. Is it wishful thinking? Has he made a mistake, and is there another young one who will replace him when he goes? And what is going on at the old airport? Is it flooding because of rising sea levels, or is something else happening? Who owns that land, and why might anyone want to see it submerged? Hot, Hot Summer continues the tale of the folk that readers of the Lonely Island series have met before. You will not be able to put it down.

Last Summer in Cannes - Edward Nicholas - Bog - Troubador Publishing - Plusbog.dk

Last Summer in Cannes - Edward Nicholas - Bog - Troubador Publishing - Plusbog.dk

Phil Fox is in his early eighties and enjoying his retirement lifestyle. He frequently entertains younger friends with his after-dinner tales of his experiences during his working life in London and Africa. His stories cover the period from early 1960s to 2021. Constantly besieged by the regular requests of his after-dinner tales'' listeners to write them all into a book, Phil ultimately succumbs, and chooses to write the book or part-biography during what he thinks may be his last summer in Cannes. He is accompanied by his much younger friend, Amy, who acts as his secretary in return for being shown and experiencing the many delights that Cannes and the Cote d’Azur has to offer. When they unexpectedly meet a former colleague of Phil’s, it is revealed that Phil’s name has appeared in international police files - files such as those of the French National Police, New Scotland Yard C.I.D., Interpol, the C.I.A, and even the financial police of Italy and Monaco. What surprises them more is that Phil already knows... A delightful, intriguing summer holiday or post-holiday read, offering some humour, an insight into 1960s London as experienced by the main character, and his further experiences during later years in North Africa. A biography, perhaps, disguised as fiction with an ending linked to the Coronavirus pandemic.

Long Shadows in Cyprus - M.j.w. Clark - Bog - Troubador Publishing - Plusbog.dk

Long Shadows in Cyprus - M.j.w. Clark - Bog - Troubador Publishing - Plusbog.dk

Imagine if your childhood haunts were sealed off like an ancient tomb… M.J.W. Clark arrived in Cyprus as an eight-year-old in the summer of 1970 and lived there for two thrilling years. The Cold War was entrenched, hippy lifestyles were running out of steam, it was the era of the tie-dye T shirt, the Chopper bike and coke adverts ‘ Teaching the World to Sing… ’ In the summer of 2018, the author returned to the island to walk The Green Line, the land trapped in the United Nation’s no-man’s land that divides it. Lying under half a century of almost sacred dust it is a 1970s world begging to be explored. Crossing into Northern and Southern Cyprus several times and taking the reader far from the tourist hordes, he undertakes a trek through deserted villages, quiet trails, silent woods and dry ravines. It’s a journey back through time and a discovery of how place and time affect who we become.

January, 1918: Franz Becker, a high-scoring, decorated ace, rejoins his fighter squadron in Flanders. He has been fighting since October 1914, and is suffering badly from the strain of war. Imperial Germany is almost finished, strangled by the Allied blockade, its people starving. The country is running out of men and resources, but there is one last chance to win the war: Russia has made peace and the Americans have yet to arrive.

Pancho - Eric Carroll - Bog - Troubador Publishing - Plusbog.dk

Pancho - Eric Carroll - Bog - Troubador Publishing - Plusbog.dk

Crammed with incident, humour and high adventure, Pancho is set in 1950s’ Mexico; the coming of age for a boy, and for an old man the enjoyment of his autumn in life. Pancho – the Old Man, the irrepressible, incorrigible, not-so-saintly, self-supposed savant. Young Juan Ramos doesn’t know what he has let himself in for when he joins Pancho and his rancheros during one long, hot, dusty summer on Mexico’s central plateau. During their summer of raucous adventure, Juan finds himself on a rollercoaster of escapades, including halting ruthless convicts terrorising a small pueblo, discovering an abandoned baby, building a mechanical horse, getting trapped in quicksand and putting clampers on an assassination attempt of the nation’s president. For the boy Juan it is an upward learning curve towards maturity, as he fits in with newfound compadres; such as the likes of squint-eyed Cándido, a surrealist; fat Emilio, a somnolent; mean-faced José, the ‘lone silent hombre’; and Julian, a simple soft-souled slow-wit. Life is enriching for Juan through his experiences living and working with the horsemen, particularly the compellingly all-encompassing influence of his hero, friend and mentor, Pancho. It is a hard, though innocent and uncomplicated life. PANCHO portrays the unsophisticated, simple, country-wise folk of a world that no longer exists. The novel will be enjoyed by those looking for a light and warm-hearted read, especially anyone interested in Mexico.

A true story of life as a child during the Second World War and through adolescence and teenage years in the 1950s and early 1960s. A time of worry and fear for parents, but of excitement and adventure for children. The freedom to roam and fanaticise without supervision and learning from real life experiences. Near misses which today would be considered unbelievably neglectful and dangerous. Working on the farm at fourteen. Joining the army cadets at thirteen to learn to be a soldier and going to summer camp to fire blank bullets from a .303 rifle at your mates was all good fun. On the downside, it was a time when waiting for your call-up papers at eighteen was routine. Then having to drop whatever you were doing to spend two years in the army, training as a real soldier in West Germany, or some other far away commonwealth outpost, and finally, to be demobbed as a disciplined but totally different person. All indications that at the time, you did what was required of you without fear or favour.

The Opening Country - John Micklewright - Bog - Troubador Publishing - Plusbog.dk

In this journey of discovery, John Micklewright travels the slow way, on foot, on paths, tracks and byways from the Channel to the Alps – from the coast of Normandy to the flanks of Mont Blanc. The Opening Country is a beautifully written account of his progress through the French countryside, an evocative patchwork of landscape, nature, history, literature, film, and – drawing on his father’s diaries that stretch back to the 1930s – of memoir. Always curious, absorbing all around him, ready on a whim to divert from his chosen route as he heads unhurriedly southwards. The natural world unfolds as spring turns to summer with surprises of bird song and butterflies, against a constant background of reminders of the economic and social story of rural France and of wars past. The result is an engrossing record of a classic long-distance walk through Britain’s nearest continental neighbour. The Opening Country is a book to fire the imagination – a call to travel slowly, to open eyes and ears, to discover and explore.

Then the groundkeeper''s son, Sam Fletcher, makes a terrifying discovery, a discovery that will alter the path of Lucy''s life in ways that will make her question everything she''s ever known, and anything she''s ever been told by those she holds dearest to her heart.

When Antonio suddenly disappears leaving behind nothing but a series of cryptic messages, Pico decides to use her linguistic prowess to decode the clues – with fateful consequences.
