The Patchwork Girl
They degraded her to the point where she'd become this sex thing - this thing that wasn't human, but an object - to the point where she believed that's what she was. The world of abuse and grooming gangs couldn't have seemed further away from Kate's start in life but, as so many young women now know, that matters little. As Sir Keir Starmer's national inquiry into grooming gangs begins, victims from across the country will share the stories of how they were targeted and their lives ruined. For Kate it was a situation that came out of the blue when, aged 18 and at college, her home life deteriorated and she found herself in supported housing for homeless teenagers in Telford. That's where she came into contact with an Asian gang who were grooming young girls for sex. One of the gang, who'd recently come out of prison, forced his way in and raped her before dragging her to a flat next door which the gang used for sex with underage girls, to publicly humiliate her in front of his friends. They threatened her with violence if she went to the police. It was the beginning of a cycle of serial and brutal abuse and rape that is almost impossible to imagine. She suffered mentally with PTSD being passed around between more than 70 men and taken to Morocco as a sex slave. Kate finally was able to report the abuse and some of the gang members were tried and sent to prison. Kate became a Mental Health Nurse in a secure unit in forensic mental health, which ironically includes working with sex offenders. She's become highly skilled in what she does, having an in-depth and first-hand knowledge of the thought processes of groomers.

Last Train to Memphis
The first volume of Peter Guralnick's critically acclaimed Elvis Presley biographies'Elvis steps from the pages. You can feel him breathe' BOB DYLAN'Wonderful' RODDY DOYLELast Train to Memphis is arguably the first serious biography that refuses to dwell on the myth of Elvis. Aiming instead to portray in vivid, dramatic terms the life and career of this outstanding artistic and cultural phenomenon, it draws together a plethora of documentary and interview material to create a superbly coherent and plausible narrative. This is the first of three volumes from music critic and author, Peter Guralnick, and covers Presley's stratospheric rise to stardom up to his departure for Germany in 1958. Last Train to Memphis is undoubtedly the benchmark by which other biographies of Elvis are judged. 'Soars above all other accounts of Elvis' GUARDIAN'A triumph of biographical art... profound and moving' NEW YORK TIMES

Zvládli sme to, chlapče
Možno zabudneme na minulosť, ale minulosť nezabudne na nás
Sir Anthony Hopkins sa narodil a vyrastal v krízových a vojnových časoch vo waleskom oceliarskom mestečku Port Talbot. Vychovávali ho v prostredí tvrdých chlapov, ktorí svoju citovú labilitu utápali v alkoholizme a brutalite. Rodičia a najbližšie okolie ho ako problematického študenta odpisovali a nedávali mu žiadnu budúcnosť. No v jeden osudný sobotný večer si tento zaznávaný waleský chlapec pozrel filmovú adaptáciu Hamleta z roku 1948, ktorá v ňom vykresala iskru vášne pre herectvo. Tá ho potom zaviedla na cestu, ktorú nikto nemohol predvídať.
Vo svojej biografii úprimne, typicky strhujúcim a zároveň zraniteľným tónom, spomína na početné profesionálne míľniky a dáva nám nahliadnuť do zákulisia viacerých svojich najikonickejších rolí.
S úprimnosťou sa vracia aj k zlyhaniam vo svojom osobnom živote. Závislosť k alkoholu ho pripravila o prvé manželstvo, vzťah s jediným dieťaťom a takmer aj o život, čo ho napokon priviedlo na cestu abstinencie, ktorej je oddaný už takmer polstoročie. Neustály boj s túžbou kráčať životom osamote konfrontuje s otázkou smrteľnosti a pripravuje sa na objavenie toho, čo jeho otec nazýval Veľkým tajomstvom.
Jedinečnou zbierkou osobných fotografií doplnené pamäti Zvládli sme to, chlapče prinášajú portrét komplikovaného a ikonického človeka, ktorý svojimi pozoruhodnými výkonmi divákov inšpiruje už viac ako šesťdesiat rokov.

Temné tajomstvá panstva Loxby
Obľúbená americká autorka Abigail Wilson vám prináša ďalší zo svojich regentských románov s mysterióznou zápletkou. Začítajte sa do pútavého príbehu o temných tajomstvách a druhých šanciach, odohrávajúceho sa v anglickom Kente na začiatku devätnásteho storočia.
Po piatich rokoch strávených v zahraničí sa Charity Halliwellová vracia na panstvo Loxby, do domu svojich dobrých priateľov. Z bezstarostného dievčaťa sa stala mladou ženou, ktorú prenasleduje bolestné tajomstvo a stratené sny. Dúfa, že na Loxby nájde miesto na uzdravenie a šťastie, no namiesto toho sa stretáva s temnotou, ktorá číha za múrmi i v tieňoch kedysi prívetivého panstva. Jej priateľka Seline zmizne práve v noc jej príchodu a Charity je odhodlaná odhaliť pravdu. Jedinou nádejou sa pre ňu stáva muž, ktorý jej pred rokmi zlomil srdce: Piers Cavanaugh, ktorého označili za zbabelca, lebo sa nedostavil na súboj, ktorý sám navrhol, žil posledných päť rokov ako vyvrheľ ďaleko od rodinného sídla. Aby našiel svoju sestru, rozhodne sa spojiť sily so ženou, o ktorej si myslel, že ju už nikdy neuvidí. Spoločne sa pustia do pátrania, ktoré ich dovedie k podivným nočným stretnutiam v ruinách starého opátstva a znepokojivým chýrom o tajnom spoločenstve. Čím viac sa toho dozvedajú, tým je situácia zúfalejšia. Zdá sa, že panstvo aj jeho okolie sú odhodlané udržať si svoje tajomstvá. Zatiaľ čo sa Charity a Piers pokúšajú objasniť Selinino záhadné zmiznutie, usilujú sa vzkriesiť aj svoje priateľstvo. Na to, aby našli šťastie, by mali prekonať smútok aj pochybnosti, ktoré ich rozdeľujú. Najskôr však musia zistiť, prečo Seline zmizla, a čeliť rastúcemu strachu, že sa možno už nikdy nevráti...
