Product Information

La corsa per i regali di Natale diventa insopportabile quando la tua vita non è quella che vorresti. I'll see how I am doing with my multiple challenges in winter, and I may add a full lenght book for this one.

Rachel has also written over twenty original afternoon plays and adaptations of the classics for BBC Radio 4, including all the Bronte novels.Rather than dealing with her emotions by expressing them verbally, instead she chooses to throw plates, covering her kitchen floor with the "thousand blue ceramic pins" that were formed, then she "swept the splinters of china into her hands and squeezed until she felt them spike the skin. It's not the happiest story you will read this season, but there are lessons to be learned, even if those lessons involve cleaning products. Wonderfully written this account moves you emotionally and allows you to reflect on Christmas and truely prepare for this special time of year.

But it's raining, her house is falling apart and she's just been left by her boyfriend who has taken up with another woman.Rachel Joyce has written over 20 original afternoon plays for BBC Radio 4, and major adaptations for both the Classic Series, Woman's Hour and also a TV drama adaptation for BBC 2. It may be Christmas, but Binny’s life has fallen apart: the faulty shower, the broken glass pane in the front door, the smashed crockery on the kitchen floor, the unbought Christmas cards, food and gifts; it’s all Oliver’s fault. A heart-warming tale about loss and grieving (there’s no actual death involved but the breakdown of a relationship). A beautiful gem of a short story from Rachel Joyce, bestselling author of The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry and Perfect The Love Song of Miss Queenie Hennessy. Rachel Joyce is the author of the Sunday Times and international bestsellers The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry, The Love Song of Miss Queenie Hennessy, and Perfect.

Binny was a sympathetic character to whom I could relate, especially her aversion to cleaning house! Entrare quasi per sbaglio in un negozio sconosciuto e trovare la serenità tanto desiderata, facendo pace con sé stessi. I've been wanting to finish The Grapes of Wrath for more than 3 decades but it was a book that I put on hold in my late teens and never came back to.

It is enough to have tiptoed to that space beyond the skin, beyond our nerve endings, and to have glimpsed things that beforehand we only half knew. It is raining, her house is falling apart, the streets are jammed with people and it is all Oliver’s fault.
