Bundle x 4 memoirs - True/Next to you/Forbidden love/Velocity - paperbacks

True by Martin Kemp:

Writing his own story Martin Kemp talks frankly about his upbringing in working class Islington, stardom and success with Spandau Ballet and the break up of the band. He writes openly about his film career, the huge success of The Krays, his tremendous fight against brain cancer and on to today with fame again in EastEnders. This is a stunningly written account of a fascinating life written with candour and wit.

Velocity by Mandy Sayer:

Velocity tells the moving, painful but often hilarious story of Mandy Sayer’s childhood and adolescence, a life lived on the edges – of society, of poverty, of certainty, of love.

Forbidden Love by Norma Khouri:

Author Norma Khouri and her friend Dalia were like sisters. Since the age of three they were inseparable, sharing in all the childhood joys that a modern, middle-class life in Amman, Jordan, had to offer. By all appearances, they seemed very much alike: Like most Arab daughters they lived under the jurisdiction of their male brethren, and each was expected to enter a marriage based on family honor — not love. But Norma’s family was Christian, Dalia’s was Muslim, and each of the girls was bound to age-old religious customs and traditions that would someday tear them apart.

Dalia is twenty-five when she falls in love with Michael, a Catholic. Their relationship is more than just a crime in the name of Islam: It is grounds for an “honor killing,” a practice that remains legal in Jordan today. Still, Dalia would have sacrificed everything — her relations, her beliefs, even her homeland — to be with Michael…until Dalia’s family finds out about her “haraam,” or forbidden, love.

Next to you by Gloria Hunniford:

A moving, thought-provoking and uplifting story of a wonderful mother, daughter relationship.

Gloria Hunniford’s daughter, TV presenter Caron Keating, was 34 when she was diagnosed with breast cancer.

The next seven years of Caron’s life, and her family’s, became a quest for recovery that ultimately took them across the world.

They became experts in the illness and its treatment, both conventional and alternative. All the while Caron was living in the public eye and keeping her own, devastating secret.

This is Gloria’s account of Caron’s life. It is about the difficult bond between mothers and daughters … about what happens to a family when one of its members gets taken over by a disease.
