The English Harem

0 2001 Paperback, 395pp. "To spice up the boredom of working on a supermarket checkout and living in a crumbling tower block, Tracy imagines her dreary customers are the great and famous. As she hands over the change to the likes of Joan of Arc, Lawrence of Arabia, Princess Leia and Omar Sharif, her life is as rich as it will ever get. Or so she thinks. She's not surprised when she's sacked - it's happened often enough before - but what she isn't prepared for is her new job as a waitress at the Taste of Persia. Stepping into this world, she surpasses even her own imagination, falling under the spell of an unlikely suitor, Saaman Sahar, who has two wives already. Seduced by his complex story, she falls head-long into dinner plates, Islam and a rather tricky arrangement, but as word of this English harem spreads, so too does prejudice and bigotry.

Show of Hands: A Novel

Washington Square Press, 2009. Paperback. Very Good. clean, tight, unmarked, some light cover edge handling,() When a desperate car dealer advertises a competition with a simple premise -- that each contestant must keep one hand on a car at all times, and the last one standing will drive away the owner of a new Land Rover -- he sets in motion a chain of events that brings together an oddball group of individuals, each with a desperate need to win. For the contestants, this publicity gimmick represents a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for a fresh start, a chance to break records, and to prove themselves in an unlikely test of endurance. It pits the patience of an elderly night watchman against the youthful vigor and carefully cultivated stamina of a high school track-and-field star. It sets a single mother who spends her life on her feet against a down-on-his-luck Mensa member who tells anyone who will listen that he's got the whole thing figured out. As the days and nights unavoidably carry on -- and big talk and clever strategies b ID: mon0000117655 .

Spinners

Vintage 1998 Paperback, 264pp. "Everyone in Opunake finds it funny when quiet factory worker Delia Chapman makes the absurdly American claim that she was invited on board a spacecraft and 'interviewed' by aliens. Good humour turns to dismay, however, when tests reveal the virgin teenager to be pregnant! And it doesn't help matters when two of her workmates announce that they are pregnant too, and cite fathers with an intergalactic address.As Delia begins to believe that every child arrives with instructions to save the world, and Phillip, the new Opunake librarian, discovers that we are all awaiting some kind of saviour, a world of space-age expectations arrives in Opunake, changing it forever.A bewitching love story and an exploration of the transitional times we live in, Spinners fuses philosophy and satire, mystery and universal myths of redemption to give us a tender and often hilarious vision of the perplexing cosmos we call 'our street'. Finally you may conclude, with Delia, that this is no world to bring an alien into. ", (ISBN: 9781869413552). Good.

A crushed cow found lying in the center of a scorched, perfect circle in a nearby field suggests they're not-and the rumor mill goes into overdrive with the arrival of Phillip, the new librarian. He falls for Delia and is soon caught up in the irresistible drama of uncovering the town's darkest secrets. What he finds shakes the community far more than a flying saucer ever could.
