Jen
Malaya 1958: 13-year-old Jen is clever, diligent – and dirt-poor. In the rundown house she shares with her defeated mother and three younger siblings, she scrubs and cooks before setting off for school every morning.
But Jen cherishes a secret dream: to get a good education and so escape the grinding poverty and cruel prejudice that have blighted her mother’s life and robbed Jen of her childhood.
Written in beautifully lyrical language that evokes the sights, smells and sounds of the Far East, Jen is a touching tale of friendship, family bonds and the importance of following your own personal star.

The Trio Affair
London in the late 1990s is one of the world’s most glamorous locations and for old schoolfriends Bella, Ruth and Sarah, there is plenty of excitement to be had. For a start, their school reunion is approaching, and the girls are desperate to outdo their old rival Abbey Price, one-time class beauty who is still pulling all the guys and looking down her pert nose at her three ex-classmates.

Add to this a couple of Greek gods, a jilted bride who’s off to the altar again, and a wardrobe full of designer clothes, and you have the recipe for a lively tale of girlish friendship and rivalry, romance and rejection – and an eternal triangle with a difference..

The Girl Who Came in from Outside
Even at the tender age of 16, Rona is already a staggeringly beautiful young woman of Romany descent. When her beloved guardian Granny Lee dies, she flees her gypsy encampment to escape the threat of a forced marriage, and her exotic looks soon lead her to embark on a modelling career.
But beneath high fashion’s glitz and glamour is a world of vice and corruption, and soon Rona turns her back on it, only to encounter an even more brutal environment when she follows her lover Ian into the Police Force.
From the catwalks of Paris to the sleazy backstreets of London and Cambridge, Rona’s youth does not spare her from learning some of life’s harshest lessons. But she never loses sight of Granny Lee’s teachings – and those of her hero Hiawatha – that a strong human spirit can overcome any adversity.
