Epic in scope, precise in detail, and heart-breaking in its human drama, Former People is the first book to recount the history of the aristocracy caught up in the maelstrom of the Bolshevik Revolution and the creation of Stalin’s Russia. Filled with chilling tales of looted palaces and burning estates, of desperate flights in the night from marauding peasants and Red Army soldiers, of imprisonment, exile, and execution, it is the story of how a centuries’-old elite, famous for its glittering wealth, its service to the Tsar and Empire, and its promotion of the arts and culture, was dispossessed and destroyed along with the rest of old Russia.Yet Former People is also a story of survival and accommodation, of how many of the tsarist ruling class—so-called “former people” and “class enemies”—overcame the psychological wounds inflicted by the loss of their world and decades of repression as they struggled to find a place for themselves and their families in the new, hostile order of the Soviet Union. Chronicling the fate of two great aristocratic families—the Sheremetevs and the Golitsyns—it reveals how even in the darkest depths of the terror, daily life went on. Told with sensitivity and nuance by acclaimed historian Douglas Smith, Former People is the dramatic portrait of two of Russia’s most powerful aristocratic families, and a sweeping account of their homeland in violent transition.

In the sixteenth century, Granuaile, the Pirate Queen, warrior and leader, was the terror of the North Atlantic and the most feared woman in Ireland. Heading a large army and a fleet of ships, she lived by trading and raiding and demanding tribute from all who sailed through her territory. Told partly through letters written to her son Tibbot, it charts the gradual decline of the Gaelic chieftains and traditions of Ireland as Elizabeth Tudor, the 'Virgin Queen' of England, extended her power throughout Ireland by bribery and slaughter. It is a story of immense bravery and daring, as Granuaile takes on the great Norman lords, smuggles weapons and mercenaries for the Ulster Gaelic O'Donnell and O'Neill clans and finally goes to confront Elizabeth Tudor herself. Some of the great figures of Irish history feature, including Red Hugh O'Donnell, Hugh O'Neill, Hugh Dubh O'Donnell, and Richard Bingham. Views: 10

Meeting Max Nolan was about to change Eva’s life – in ways she doesn’t expect. Her past romance had shown her she had a lot to learn, and now she’d found the perfect teacher. If only she’d take the bold step that’ll change her notions of passion forever…Contains HOT sex with the an Australian Cowboy Billionaire so for those readers looking for STEAMY Adult content.Preview:What mattered, was the man. His dashing persona, his evident sense of self-collection that made him seem different for all the right reasons. He had a lean, streamlined body, with long legs that made those pair of blue jeans he wore look sinful. His startling white shirt was tucked in and open at the throat, revealing tanned, invitingly smooth skin. His face was much too angular to be considered textbook handsome. But to a woman like Eva, he appealed on so many levels. She liked his strong jaw, his narrow, proud nose, his manly, firm lips. She also liked his eyes, a gorgeous icy blue. He had longish golden brown hair which framed his nicely shaped head, and she couldn’t help picturing him in a cowboy hat to go with his deliberately casual attire. He looked like he’d just stepped off the ranch for a drink with the guys.“You didn’t tell me Max Nolan will be here,” she said almost accusingly to her mother, who was standing next to her. Lori Fowler, silver-haired and elegantly lovely at age fifty, turned to her daughter in surprise. Views: 10
