Description

It feels so realistic in its depiction of working-class women in WW1 – Polly’s mum is only a side character in the very start and end of the story, and still her story will stick with me.

They all broke through the barriers and restrictions of being a woman at this time and showed everyone what they could do. Content warnings: misogyny; sickness from working in munitions; injury, including off-page amputation and scarring, and death, including major character death and death of a sibling; grief; PTSD with on-page panic attack; explosions; general discussion of war and death; childbirth. Although there is plenty of football plot, it’s woven incredibly skilfully into a wonderful tale of the young women who worked in the munitions factories of WW1, creating an incisive view of growing up in a time of enormous tragedy. The book is as new with a small colour mark and nick on the edges of the pages,pencil mark impression on the edge of the half-title page of the book.

Her book is a fascinating tale full of passion and an incredible love for life which enabled her to overcome a terrible accident and has driven her ever since. He joined the Mail in 2014, initially through their trainee scheme, and has contributed extensively to their award-nominated Enough is Enough campaign concerning dementia in football. Packed with facts about the history of football, the great disasters of the twentieth century and the black footballers who blazed a trail in the UK. From Nobel Laureates Samuel Beckett and Harold Pinter to theatre greats Tom Stoppard and Alan Bennett to rising stars Polly Stenham and Florian Zeller, Faber Drama presents the very best theatre has to offer. The juxtaposition of Polly’s poor, but loving, home life, surrounded by siblings, with her time spent in Clara’s middle-class home, where Clara is an only child, is stunningly written, with tiny details that speak so loud.

Nancy could not be accused of downplaying the importance of her extramarital relationship with Sven. This is an immensely readable but far from lightweight book, packed with anecdote, opinion and - a valuable gift - empathy. Accompanying the Design Museum exhibition of the same title, this book features informed and sometimes provocative contributions from figures across the world of football and design, from analyst Statman Dave and broadcaster Martin Tyler, to architect Jacques Herzog and VP of design at adidas Sam Handy. With classics such as Ted Hughes's The Iron Man and award-winners including Emma Carroll's Letters from the Lighthouse, Faber Children's Books brings you the best in picture books, young reads and classics. We're a proudly small and independent specialist children's book business based in New Malden, South West London.From her childhood in New York and Puglia in Italy and the accident which nearly killed her, to the successful career in in commercial law and the passions which drive her on, despite all too public crises which would be the end of most of us. It's all about me,' Nancy Dell'Olio gushed, with no hint of irony, to reporters at the launch party for her wonderfully, unintentionally comic autobiography: 'It's about New York, Italy, my life, my beautiful life. This book covers many aspects of the game from personal recollection to discussion of many of the challenges facing the game and looks back and evaluates great plyers.

A very well-rounded picture of life on the Home Front during the First World War, full of fascinating detail and incident, populated by vivid and memorable characters and infused with a real passion for the game of football. There are glimpses of times in Nancy's life that would be fun to know more about such as her foray into Italian politics. Having sought the support and permission from Bobby’s family at the wake following the funeral, within days, I sat down at my keyboard, as I have done so often over the past few years, having written five previous books on the history of the club that we all love, including my last book on my very first football hero, Derek Kevan, aka ‘The Tank’ and the words just started to pour out of my very soul for the ensuing five months or so. Nancy claims not to have read the newspaper reports of his affairs and not to have asked Sven for his version. Nancy, whilst becoming the worlds greatest lawyer,most beatiful woman and co manager of the England team, finds a solution to world peace whilst discovering a cure for cancer.As both a former player and now a professional observer and commentator on the game, he knows all the key figures of the sport and has witnessed first-hand some of cricket's greatest moments.
