She explores Prince Charles''s determination to make Camilla his queen, the tension between William and Harry who are on ''different paths'', the ascendance Kate Middleton, the disturbing allegations surrounding Prince Andrew and Jeffrey Epstein, and Harry and Meghan''s stunning decision to ''step back'' as senior royals. Despite the fragile monarchy''s best efforts, ''never again'' seems fast approaching. Sunday Times bestseller, February 2023

Littlejohn's House of Fun - Richard Littlejohn - Bog - Cornerstone - Plusbog.dk

The Daily Mail ''s most succesful columnist delivers the coup de grace to New Labour, as the nation voted them out of office. He is not only tough on Brown and the causes of Brown, but devastatingly funny about ''Elf and Safety'', ''Yuman Rights'', the Surveillance Society and all the bureacratic absurdities that make modern life worse than anything George Orwell ever imagined. But, as the new introductory material reveals, the coalition of Lib Dem and Conservative also means same meat, different gravy. And already we have the first casualty of the cabinet in David Laws, another rich MP exploiting his position to claim expenses paid to his secret lover.''Littlejohn has been ... a vivid exponent of a great British columnar style that stretches back five centuries or more. He''s a distant, bastard cousin of Thomas Nash, Daniel Defoe and Alexander Pope. Cassandra and Bernard Levin might justly buy him a pint in the Chesire Cheese. Like or loathe him, he''s the real, talented deal.'' Observer

Hunger - Elise Blackwell - Bog - Cornerstone - Plusbog.dk

Hunger - Elise Blackwell - Bog - Cornerstone - Plusbog.dk

When German troops surround Leningrad and cut off food supplies in the autumn of 1941, no one imagines that the siege will last almost three years and take hundreds of thousands of lives. As the first ''hungry winter'' sets in, the city''s residents strip the bark off trees, boil and eat moss-covered stones, and trade priceless antiques for half a loaf of bread - and sex for a chunk of sugar. But the scientists at the Institute of Plant Industry pledge to protect their collection of rare seeds, painstakingly gathered from all over the world, no matter what the human cost. But as the siege continues, the group divides into those who would preserve their principles at the price of starvation, and others who turn to deception - and more sinister measures - to survive. A powerful, stunningly precise and beautifully written novel about human nature under life''s harshest pressures. Reminiscent of Rachel Seiffert''s The Dark Room and Bernhard Schlink''s The Reader in its brevity, spareness and power, it is a quite remarkable debut.
