Title: Sugar, Gravy, Pleasure: An Indie Odyssey in Peterborough Author: Pete Elderkin Narrator: Pete Elderkin Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 3 hours 51 minutes Release date: July 28, 2024 Genres: Memoirs Publisher's Summary: Growing up in Peterborough, voted the 'worst place to live in England & the UK', certainly had its challenges. But a love for Nick Cave's band and a passion for indie music launched the author, Pete Elderkin, on a series of extraordinary events while following a dream to reach that holy grail for rock groups, a BBC Radio One John Peel session. Sugar, Gravy, Pleasure details the ups and downs of being in the wrong place and time while trying to DJ and run an exciting alternative music club in a what seemed a hostile, provincial environment.   This is a wry, self-depreciating memoir set over eleven years and telling the true story of The Sugar Club and how it, improbably, became one of the longest running nightclubs in the UK. It captures, with first-hand contributors, the fun experiences and social history of the unique 1990s and 2000s, when the grunge and Britpop scenes came from out of nowhere to the forefront of the UK music scene.     'I loved it. A beautiful, big-hearted book. Sugar, Gravy, Pleasure is a love letter to a lost time when music was at the centre of the universe.' Tony Parsons, journalist, broadcaster and author.

Title: My Father's Suitcase: A story of family secrets, abuse, betrayal - and breaking free Author: Mary Garden Narrator: Mary Garden Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 11 hours 2 minutes Release date: July 23, 2024 Genres: Memoirs Publisher's Summary: A gripping tale of resilience and survival that offers hope to others who have experienced family violence and suffered at the hands of a sibling. A deeply personal and heart-breaking memoir that explores the troubled relationship between Mary Garden and her younger sister, Anna, who died in 2023 after a short illness. Mary unpacks her life of growing up in New Zealand in the 1950s and ’60s, before making Australia home. She reveals complex layers of intergenerational trauma, including the baggage of her eccentric, deeply flawed father and the secret her mother kept from all of them, revealed only after her death. Mary deals movingly with her sister’s long battle with mental illness and how she once saved Anna’s life. As she unravels these narratives, Mary touches on the guilt and shame familiar to anyone who has had to deal with secrets, violence and ‘madness’ in their family. And she shines a light on sibling abuse, the most common form of abuse in the context of family violence ‒ occurring up to five times as frequently as spousal or parental child abuse ‒ although it is often dismissed as ‘sibling rivalry’. It causes far-reaching, long-lasting harm.
