Trezza Azzopardi
Remember Me
Lillian would say she's no trouble, content to let
the days go by, minding her own business and bothering no-one.
She'd rather not recall the past and, at seventytwo, doesn't see
too much point in thinking about the future. But when her closed
existence is suddenly shattered by a random act of violence committed
by a young girl, Lillian is catapulted abruptly out of exile.
Spanning seven decades, Remember Me is a story of pursuit: of
stolen goods, missing years and one woman's forgotten history.
An incredibly rich and moving novel, which builds on the enormous
success of The Hiding Place. Author Trezza Azzopardi was born
and grew up in the Maltese community of Tiger Bay, Cardiff.

Wallace Breem
Eagle In The Snow
At the Roman Empire's farthest outpost a veteran soldier, Maximus,
defends the Wall of Britannia from the onslaught of belligerent
tribes. But the forts are overrun, and his people are killed.
His stoic loyalty to Rome is rewarded with the command of a legion.
It is the fulfilment of a life's ambition, but also the beginning
of an uncertain future - Maximus is ordered to defend the Rhine
frontier against terrible odds, and must depart for the forests
of Germania. It is the year 406, and Rome is on the defensive
everywhere. The single Roman legion under Maximus's command stands
desperate guard on the cold frontier....
Wallace Breem is the author of three historical novels, including
Eagle in the Snow, which is regarded by many as the greatest historical
novel ever written, and which became an inspiration for the Oscar-winning
film, Gladiator. 'Wallace Breem belongs to that very short list
of writers whose work elevates historical fiction and sets it
alongside the best writing of any kind, in any period' - Steven
Pressfield, bestselling author of Gates of Fire.
