Uniform Justice - Donna Leon - Bog - Cornerstone - Plusbog.dk

''Complex and thought-provoking and lingers in the mind'' Sunday Times Neither Commissario Brunetti nor his wife Paola have ever had much sympathy for the Italian armed forces, so when a young cadet is found hanged, at Venice''s elite military academy, Brunetti''s emotions are complex: pity and sorrow at the death of a boy close in age to his own son, and contempt and irritation for the arrogance and high-handedness of the boy''s teachers and fellow students.The young man is the son of an ex-politician, a man of an impeccable integrity all too rare in Italian politics. But as Brunetti - and the indispensable Signorina Elettra - investigate further, no one seems willing to talk. Is this the natural reluctance of Italians to involve themselves with the authorities, or is Brunetti facing a conspiracy of silence? ''Silken prose and considerable charm . . . an unlovely story set in the loveliest of cities'' Washington Post

stockings, lisle . . . shoes, black clumpy . . . The list went on and on. And to think that she''d chosen the WAAF because the blue uniform looked so smart! When war broke out, seventeen-year-old Christie could have stayed down on the family farm in Norfolk, where she was wanted and needed. So why had she joined up? Come to that, why had Meg from Cheshire, and Sue, very much the big city girl from Liverpool, and Shanna, the life-toughened product of a broken home in Glasgow? Mixed reasons. Very mixed backgrounds. But no time to think now. Not with the sergeant shouting and the station air-raid siren beginning to wail . . .

She has filled theatres and auditoriums and appeared on radio and TV. But this is the first time she has told her incredible story.When she was four, Helen realised that she could see things that other people could not - like the animals she played with and the silent man in army uniform who sat in her grandmother''s sitting room. But it wasn''t until she met her Guardian Guide Sam and had regular tutorials from him did she start to understand the significance of what she had been experiencing.Because Helen can see and communicate with spirit and angels, through them she has developed naturally the extraordinary gift of healing, and bringing messages of hope and love from people in spirit to their friends and family.But it is a gift that has also caused her much pain. As a child, Helen''s parents did not believe what she told them; instead they chastised her for lying and making up stories. Only Helen''s beloved grandmother truly understood, and with her love and Sam''s guidance, Helen learned to use her extraordinary gifts to bring hope and healing, both spiritually and physically to those in need.''... the reaction to her was phenomenal, I do mean phenomenal. We have been at this a very long time now and we know the difference between phenomenal and phenomenal !!'' Gay Byrne, The Late Late Show
