Love is a terrible thing that will make you suffer

So says Maria, a young Brazilian girl convinced from an early age that she will never find true love. A chance meeting in Rio takes her to Geneva, but the glittering life she hoped for was a fantasy. The reality selling herself to survive is a dehumanising grind that pushes her further away from real love, towards a fascination with pure physical pleasure.

But when her emotional barriers are tested by a handsome young painter, she must choose between the dark path she is on and risking everything to find her inner light. Can she move beyond the meeting of minds or even souls to a place where sex itself is sacred?

A daring modern fable about the nature of love and sex.

Title: Azincourt

Author: Bernard Cornwell

Narrator: Trevor White

Format: Abridged

Length: 05:20:00

Language: English

Release date: 10-01-08

Publisher: HarperCollins Publishers UK

Genres: Fiction & Literature, Historical Fiction, Action & Adventure, War & Military

Summary:

A unique novel, looking at one the greatest battles, a battle that was a turning point in history, from many points of view, by a master storyteller.

Bernard Cornwell has been thinking about this subject for years. He has long wanted to write a book about a single battle, the events that lead up to it, the actual days in the battle and the aftermath from multiple viewpoints.

Agincourt, fought on October 25th 1415, on St Crispin's Day, is one of the best known battles, in part through the brilliant depiction of it in Shakespeare's Henry V, in part because it was a brilliant and unexpected English victory and in part because it was the first battle won by the use of the longbow. This was a weapon developed in this form only by the English parishes were forced to train boys from as young as eight daily and enabled them to dominate the European battlefields for the rest of the century.

Lively historical characters abound on all sides but in Bernard Cornwell's hands the fictional characters, horsemen, archers, nobles, peasants are authentic and vivid, and the hour by hour view of the battle is dramatic and gripping.

Title: Look Who It Is!: My Story

Author: Alan Carr

Narrator: Alan Carr

Format: Abridged

Length: 04:22:00

Language: English

Release date: 10-01-08

Publisher: HarperCollins Publishers UK

Genres: Biography & Memoir, Arts & Entertainment

Summary:

Famed for his gentle innocence and brilliant observational wit, comedian Alan Carr describes his childhood growing up in a football-mad family in Northampton and his rise to become one of Britains best-loved comedians.

Puberty had been unkind. Whereas it had come in the night and left the other boys with chiselled, stubbly chins and deep masculine voices, Id been left with a huge pair of knockers and the voice of a pensioner. Alan Carr

Alan Carr grew up in one of the most boring towns in England Northampton. A place known for making shoes. It was also famous for its football club, Northampton Town FC. Alans dad as manager of the club was a local hero. A dream come true for most lads, but not Alan. Alan wore glasses and had man boobs at 14. He did not like P.E.

In his very first book, Alan tells his life story (oh and what a life) with his unique twist of natural, observational humour

Im not saying Im a fantasist but there have been times when things that Ive seen on television when I was younger have tended to seep into my subconscious and blended into my own life. I remember telling my Mum about the time I stopped that woman from having a diamond encrusted necklace stolen and shed say No Alan, that was Poirot.

With his tongue-in-cheek, end of pier humour that has made him famous, Alan describes an ordinary life in bursts of technicolour. His journey from awkward schoolboy hiding his man-boobs on the pitch, drinking tea with the dinner ladies and working in a call centre, to becoming one of our best-loved comedians likened to the great Frankie Howerd, will make his book a guaranteed tickler with a laugh-out-loud gag on every page.

With her characteristic combination of superb storytelling and authentic historical background, Philippa Gregory brings to life this period of great change, in a riveting tale of betrayal, loyalty, politics and passion.

Title: Flashman on the March

Author: George MacDonald Fraser

Narrator: Toby Stephens

Format: Abridged

Length: 05:57:00

Language: English

Release date: 06-24-08

Publisher: HarperCollins Publishers UK

Genres: Romance, Fiction & Literature, Historical Fiction, Action & Adventure, Mystery

Summary:

Harry Flashman: the unrepentant bully of Tom Browns schooldays, now with a Victoria Cross, has three main talents horsemanship, facility with foreign languages and fornication. A reluctant military hero, Flashman plays a key part in most of the defining military campaigns of the 19th century, despite trying his utmost to escape them all.

Many have marvelled at General Napier's daring 1868 expedition through the treacherous peaks and bottomless chasms of Abyssinia to rescue a small group of British citizens held captive by the mad tyrant Emperor Theodore. But the vital role of Sir Harry Flashman, V.C., in the success of this campaign has hitherto gone unrecorded.

Flashman's undeserved reputation for heroism renders him the British Army's candidate of choice when it comes to skulking behind enemy lines in Ali Baba attire. After all, who but the great amorist could contemplate navigating a land populated by hostile tribes and the loveliest (and most savage) women in Africa, from leather-clad nymphs with a penchant for torture to a voluptuous barbarian queen with a reputation for throwing disobliging guests to her pet lions?
