| Description: |
A memoir of the five years Kate Clanchy spent living closely with Antigona, a Kosovan refugee. It describes Antigona's escape - from Milosevic, from her forced, violent marriage, and from the most traditional pastoral society in Europe - and the growing toll of her losses, as she and her rebellious teenage daughters negotiate London. |
| Synopsis: |
"What Is She Doing Here?" is a memoir of the five years Kate Clanchy spent living closely with Antigona, a Kosovan refugee. Antigona becomes her project, her protegee, her cleaner, her nanny, and slowly, through hours of conversation and negotiations of difference, her friend. Through the story of their growing understanding is woven the dramatic tale of Antigona's great escape - from Milosevic, from her forced, violent marriage, and from the most traditional pastoral society in Europe - and the growing toll of her losses, as she and her rebellious teenage daughters negotiate London. Antigona's wit and vertiginous perspectives on contemporary life illuminate and transform the way Kate thinks, bringing many hard truths uncomfortably close to home. 'Kate Clanchy has written not just a heart-stopping story, but one that is essential for our times' - Anne Enright. |

The Last Queen
Married at sixteen. A queen at twenty-five. Declared insane and locked up by the men she adored. Juana "la Loca" was the last true queen of Spain. Her arranged marriage to Philip the Fair of Flanders begins as a fairytale romance when, despite never having met before their betrothal, they fall desperately in love. Told in Juana's voice, THE LAST QUEEN is the enthralling and moving tale of a woman ahead of her time, who fought fiercely for her birthright in the face of an unimaginable betrayal.
