JudyB Posted February 2, 2008 Share Posted February 2, 2008 Found out about these while at work yesterday - I've put them on my wishlist. Thought they might be of interest to others. The Return by Victoria Hislop Synopsis The captivating new novel from the author of the smash hit THE ISLAND Mercedes is a spirited, vibrant young Spanish girl whose passion is dancing. Her life is turned upside down by the Spanish Civil War and the oppression of Franco's dictatorship. When her brothers and her lover disappear in the night, taken for interrogation by the army, she must find a way to flee, even if that means leaving her beloved home and family for ever! The Secret Shopper's Revenge by Kate Harrison Book Description A celebration of the pleasures of shopping and a glorious full-volume moan about bad service. Synopsis Imagine shopping for a living, going undercover in the lingerie department, homing in on size-zero haute couture ...and shopping the shop girls who think service is a dirty word. Welcome to the world of the Mystery Shopper. New mum Emily wants revenge on the stick-thin assistants who laugh at her post-baby tummy and post-baby budget. But frumpiness has its advantages when you're wielding a secret camera - and sending the damning footage straight to head office. Store manager Sandie has a lifelong love of the world of retail - the glitz, the magic, the stockroom. Then she's fitted up by an ambitious assistant and secret shopping is the only way to keep her one passion alive. And glamourous widow Grazia can't leave behind the high life, despite her chronically low bank balance. The more she's buying - and spying - the less time she has to mourn her husband or her fair-weather friends who've dumped her. They're Charlie's Shopping Angels, controlled by a mysterious figure who sends them assignments. But when they're sent to stitch up a doomed shop owned by Will, the angels begin to feel divided loyalties ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
