Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. He shaped hedges like a man who had discovered Cubism on a working-class Dublin street.Timmie Crowley cut privets for a living in Finglas, carving angles no one had seen before. He played accordion until the neighbours crowded into the kitchen. He told stories that made a whole street lean in.He also carried a wound from a Kerry altar that he never once put into words.The Hedgecutter's Son is Trevor Crowley's account of growing up inside that house - between his father's fire and his mother's stillness, between chaos and comedy and the drink that came earlier in the day each year. A boy who learned to read the weather in a room before anyone spoke, and who found his way out through his own legs.At sixteen, on a fog-blind morning in Crumlin with no crowd and no cameras, he ran the fastest mile any boy his age had ever run. Three days later, a full scholarship offer from Villanova arrived in the post. He never took it.What came instead spanned three countries: Vidal Sassoon's Bond Street, won with a single line about his father's hedges. A Galway salon at the height of the Celtic Tiger, where Maureen O'Hara asked him to make her hair punk. Then the fraudster, the crash, the phone call mid-haircut that ended his marriage, and three silent months in a monastery.A memoir of inheritance, ruin, and a forgiveness fifty years in the making.

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. She crossed an ocean to claim her inheritance. She never expected someone to already be living in it. When Sandra leaves Boston for the granite hills of Cornwall, she carries the deeds to a cottage she has never seen - a bequest from the grandfather she never met. What she finds behind the blue wooden door of Lamella is not an empty house, but Harry: a white-bearded, whisky-sipping former factory mechanic who speaks of miracles, aliens, and love, and who has quietly made her grandfather's home his own. Getting rid of him should be simple. It is anything but. Drawn deeper into the misty, gossip-soaked town of Hillstone, Sandra falls in with an unforgettable cast of drifters and dreamers - an ash-branch-wielding old hippie, a gold-hunting widower, a self-styled grand lady who stores her Christmas decorations in the mortuary, and a spiritual guru whose charm masks something far more calculating. As Harry's grip on the cottage tightens and a bitter legal battle looms, Sandra must decide how much truth she can afford to tell, and how much of herself she is willing to lose. By turns hilarious, poignant, and quietly devastating, Lazy Friends is a sharply observed novel about eccentricity, self-deception, and the strange communities we stumble into when we are running from grief. Ana Ingham renders the fading, salt-worn charm of Cornwall and its unforgettable inhabitants with wit, compassion, and an unflinching eye for human folly. For readers of literary fiction who love vivid characters, dark comedy, and stories where nothing - and no one - is quite what they seem. This item is printed on demand.

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. In the days when tall ships ruled the Atlantic and a single voyage could make a fortune - or end at the bottom of the sea - one name was spoken with equal parts fear and wonder: Captain Red.Towering and red-bearded, feared from the merchant lanes of Virginia to the coast of Spain, Captain Red is no ordinary pirate. The gold he takes from treasure-laden ships never lines his own pockets - it sails home to a hidden island in the Caribbean, where his crew live as farmers and builders for half the year and share their plunder with the islanders who shelter them.For Jonas Robinson, the dockside son of a merchant seaman, a life at sea is the only escape from the grim factories waiting to swallow boys his age. When he talks his way into a cabin boy's berth, he has no idea that earning his place aboard the Golden Lion will demand far more than knowing a bowsprit from a mainmast. He'll have to prove his honesty, his nerve, and his loyalty - and outlast a bigger, meaner rival who swears to make him pay.Through howling storms, narrow escapes, and the thunder of cannon fire, Jonas learns the ropes, the stars, and a kind of courage that can't be taught on dry land. But the sea has a long memory, and an old enemy is waiting on the horizon.A rousing high-seas adventure about honesty, bravery, and finding your place in the world, Captain Red is perfect for readers aged 8-12 and fans of classic pirate tales like Treasure Island.
