Paperback. Zustand: Good. 'It was this contemplation of the future that made Roza frightened, and that caused her to turn her mind, as she did now, harried and nervous, to the past. And then there was the question of Simon Lampton.' Roza Hallwright leads a quiet, orderly life, working at her publishing job each day, returning home to the large, comfortable house she shares with her politician husband David and her two stepchildren. But this peaceful existence is about to be changed forever. In the next few months there will be an election, and, if the polls are correct, Roza will become the Prime Minister's wife. She has faced the prospect with relative calm, but a chance encounter with party donor Simon Lampton sparks a chain of consequences that will bring turmoil to both their lives, sending them into a dangerous re-evaluation of the past and of the uncertain future before them. Award-winning writer Charlotte Grimshaw has turned her unflinching eye on contemporary New Zealand society in this intricate and elegant novel.

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. However you view my life by the end of this book, you are certainly not likely to use the word 'mediocre'. I stomp on mediocrity with a tall pair of riding boots caked in horse sweat, and I plan to go out that way too. Don't Postpone Joy tells the amazing story of Peter Taylor's life, from a childhood dominated by his parents' unhappiness to success as a chef and co-founder of Auckland's ground-breaking Le Brie restaurant, international equestrian, exuberant host at the Surrender Dorothy bar, medical marvel and unrivalled motivator. His is a story of heart-breaking sadness, unwavering determination, immense sacrifice and - perhaps more than any of these - humour and great joy. fMoving between rural New Zealand and the riding circuits of Europe, small towns of the American South and the mean streets of Sydney, this book offers inspirational insights into a man who embraces life full-on and never backs away. It leaves the reader in no doubt about the worth of Taylor's twin mottoes: 'To thine own self be true' and Don't Postpone Joy. 244 pages.

Paperback. Zustand: Good. Looming unemployment, creeping middle-age and the stormclouds of matrimony can drive a man to desperate actions and in Lee Hughes's case they drove him around the world and out to sea. Despite having hardly any money, no noticeable sailing experience and a deep and abiding fear of the sea, he set out to complete a transit of the US East Coast from Florida to Maine in a boat slightly smaller than a king-sized bed. In his open Wayfarer sailing dinghy he experienced all the predictable pleasures and perils of a typical land-based camping trip (rain, bugs, leaky tents, outdoor ablutions, solitude, discomfort, dire food and officialdom) - but all with an improved chance of drowning. Inevitably, in a six-month, 4000-km adventure, unpredictable things will happen too. This is the story of that journey - and the surprising conclusion to a most unusual 20-year romance. 304 pages.

Paperback. Zustand: Good. No one knows 'happy endings' like romance novelist Darrell Kincaid. She's delivered eight of them to her readers with pleasure. But it's not to be with book number nine. In the act of adding the final full stop, Darrell has a revelation: it's not the ending that really matters but what comes next. Darrell now sees that when her husband Tom died (twenty-one months and three days ago but who's counting?) she lost more than the man she loved. She lost her own 'happy ever after'. The life she expected to live has gone, vanished forever in a puff of fickle, unfair smoke. Darrell knows she has a choice. She can stay in New Zealand and live a half-life, or she can leave in search of something - perhaps someone - else. So Darrell decides upon London, the least romantic capital she knows (why set yourself up for disappointment?). Armed with Nancy Mitford's Love in a Cold Climate as her guide to proper Englishness and the ideal romantic hero, she sets out to live the sweet second life she deserves.
