Alexandra Heminsley lootused olid suured: ta tahtis sportlase tuharaid, supermodelli pihta ja gaselli kiirust. Parast spordiklubidele allajaamist ja joogast tudinemist otsustas ta jooksma hakata.Tema esimene katse ei loppenud hasti.Kuus aastat hiljem oli ta aga kahel mandril jooksnud kokku viis maratoni.Heminsley isa utleb, et maratoni joostakse nii pea kui jalgadega. Niisiis pole see raamat ainult jooksmisest.Voib oelda, et see on raamat ambitsioonidest (jah, ka vihmasel puhapaevahommikul voodist valja ronida on ambitsioonikas), suhtlemisest (kaasa arvatud sellest, kuidas mojub spordipoes uleolev teenindaja), samuti kehast (tissid ei pea varisema, kui sa jooksed). Kuid see on raamat ka sellest, mis tunne on avastada, et suudad enamat, kui eales oled voimalikuks pidanud.Kas tahad tosiselt treenima hakata voi motled kas voi bussile joosta – „Kuidas minust sai jooksja” on lobus, aus ja emotsionaalne raamat koigile, kes (parast ulemaaraseid ohtuseid veine ja kropse) motlevad, et nad voiksid, lihtsalt voiksid proovida … joosta.***„Seda raamatut on vaga lihtne lugeda. Autor otsib ja leiab ennast oma teekonnal spordimaailma, alustades taiesti nullist. Moni tema hetk voi kogemus pani meid motlema ajale, kui ise treenima hakkasime. Soovitame raamatut lugeda inimestel, kes pole mingil pohjusel jooksmisega alustanud, aga plaanivad seda. See on hea inspiratsioon, sport on koigile!”Kolmikoed Leila, Liina ja Lily Luik, maratonijooksjadhttp://luiged.blogspot.com.ee/https://www.facebook.com/ TrioToRio/„See lugu on naisest, nagu sina ja mina, kes soandas proovida.”Kertu Jukkum„Elujaatav, vabastav, lobus.”Jojo Moyes, raamatute „Mina enne sind” ja „Parast sind” autor„See peaks inspireerima ka koige puhendunumat diivanisoojendajat tosse jalga tombama ja uut maailma avastama.”ajalehe Daily Mail lugemissoovitus„Raamat on kui lugu sellest, kuidas Bridget Jones otsustab jooksma hakata – see on tavalise naise teekond jooksumaailma.”Diann Daniel, Runner’s World (www.runnersworld.com)

A short from Louise Doughty to stir the heart and awaken vital conversations about love.A young woman turns off her phone and books herself into a deserted seaside hotel. In a state of shock, she starts small conversations with the staff and begins to unfurl, until someone turns up to claim her.

The price for a country. The price for a King. The price for a marriage. The dramatic story of Tom Neave continues…The second book in the Tom Neave Trilogy, ‘Cromwell’s Blessing’ sees Tom still determined to fight for his principles – democracy, freedom and honour – despite the growing threat to his young family, as England finds itself in the throes of bloody civil war.The year is now 1647. The King has surrendered to Parliament. Lord Stonehouse, to show his loyalty to Parliament, has named grandson Tom as his successor. But Lord Stonehouse’s son, Richard, is also Tom’s estranged father and a fervent Royalist. If the King reaches a settlement with Parliament Richard will inherit…Parliament itself is deeply divided with those demanding a strict Puritan regime pitted against more liberal Independents like Cromwell. King Charles, under house arrest, tries to exploit the divisions between them. When Richard arrives from France with a commission from the Queen to snatch the King from Parliamentary hands, he and Tom are set on a collision course. Caught between his love for his wife Anne and their young son, and his loyalty to the new regime, Tom must struggle to save both his family and the estate.
