It's the job offer of a lifetime: £120,000 a year, a top-of-the-range BMW, and the chance to work with charismatic sportswear billionaire Nathan Strauss.

Gilda O'Neill
The Good Old Days

Were things really better in the good old days? Only if you were healthy, wealthy and male. For most, life in London was one of grinding poverty, binge drinking, prostitution and gun crime. The 19th century was a time of growing awareness of the existence of an impoverished underclass - a terrifying demi-monde of criminals, tarts and no-hope low lifes. Gilda O'Neill explores the teeming underbelly dwelling in the fog-bound streets, rat-infested slums, common lodging house, boozers, penny gaffs and brothels in the heart of the greatest empire the world has ever seen, revealing that Victoria's was actually a most unruly reign.

Susannah Misselthwaite was gazing up at the brightness of the blue sky when the deer leapt in front of the car. She never knew what happened. Guy Misselthwaite, Professor of Botany, hides from his grief in his greenhouse. Without Susannah, everything is lost. Meanwhile little Felix pores over photographs of Susannah, grasping for traces of a mother who is slipping from his memory. Felix is happiest sitting in the branches of a tree in the university's Botanical Garden. Here, he presides over the dreams and dramas of those who pass beneath him. Touching, funny and bittersweet, this is a story about love, loss and loyalty - and how sometimes a bit of earth can mend a broken heart.
