An epic tale spanning four continents. Angelou, Maya - I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings The moving autobiographical account of the early years of the late, iconic, African-American writer and poet Maya Angelou. Armitage, Simon – Walking Away Modern day troubadour poet Simon Armitage walks the South West coastal path performing poetry along the way. He walks penniless and after each performance he passes around a sock for the audience to make their donations. His dry sense of humour and wry observations make this a very entertaining read. Ashton, Juliet – The Sunday Lunch Club When Anna and her nearest and dearest get together for Sunday lunch every few weeks they laugh bicker and just enjoy each other’s company. Much like any other family. But Anna’s life is changing. How will she reconcile her painful past and uncertain future? Full of love and laughter, as well as tears, this is comfort food in a book – but without the calories, or the pain of burning your mouth on a roast potato. Athill, Diana - Somewhere Towards the End Aged ninety, and freed from any inhibitions that even she may once have had, Diana Athill reflects frankly on the losses and occasionally the gains that old age brings, and on the wisdom and fortitude required to face death.
