It's the spring of 1924, and Lady Helena Montagu-Douglas-Parr has just arrived in France. On the mend after a near-fatal illness, she is ready to embrace the restless, heady allure of the City of Lights. Her parents have given her one year to live with her eccentric aunt in Paris, and Helena means to make the most of her time. She's quickly drawn into the world of the Lost Generation and its circle of American expatriates, and, with their encouragement, she finds the courage to pursue her dream of becoming an artist.

In the summer of 1940, ambitious young American journalist Ruby Sutton gets her big break: the chance to report on the European war as a staff writer for Picture Weekly newsmagazine in London.

But life in besieged Britain tests Ruby in ways she never imagined.

Lady Elizabeth Neville-Ashford wants to travel the world, pursue a career, and marry for love. But in 1914, the stifling restrictions of aristocratic British society and her mother’s rigid expectations forbid Lilly from following her heart.

Defying her parents, she moves to London and eventually becomes an ambulance driver in the newly formed Women’s Army Auxiliary Corps - an exciting and treacherous job that takes her close to the Western Front.

It is the autumn of 1943, and life is becoming increasingly perilous for Italian Jews like the Mazin family.

It is Coronation Year, 1953, and a new queen is about to be crowned. The people of London are in a mood to celebrate, none more so than the residents of the Blue Lion hotel. Edie Howard, owner and operator of the floundering Blue Lion, has found the miracle she needs: on Coronation Day, Queen Elizabeth in her gold coach will pass by the hotel’s front door, allowing Edie to charge a fortune for rooms and, barring disaster, save her beloved home from financial ruin. Edie’s luck might just be turning, all thanks to a young queen about her own age.

Han sido elegidas para un honor único en la vida: crear los bellísimos bordados que adornarán el vestido de novia de la futura reina de Inglaterra.

If you’re like me, you’ve probably tried every fad diet out there in a desperate attempt to get fit - paleo, keto, gluten-free, Atkins - with little to no results. You’ve probably been frustrated with having to follow strict rules that seem impossible to make a part of your life. Maybe, you need to lose weight, as most of us Americans do. Perhaps, you are okay with your weight, but want to find a way to maintain healthier eating habits.

This book is part of a three-book diet series where I take a research-based approach and explore the ins and outs of three popular diets. In my first book, I have talked about the ketogenic diet and my research, which validates that it's one of the best low carb diets to lose weight provided that you follow it carefully and with devotion. In this book, I discuss the Mediterranean diet, its benefits, and how it can help steer you towards a healthy lifestyle.

Mentre osserva affascinata i deliziosi fiori ricamati a mano che la nonna le ha lasciato in eredità, Heather Mackenzie si rende conto che sono identici a quelli dello straordinario abito che la regina Elisabetta II aveva indossato quasi settant'anni prima, il giorno in cui, ancora principessa, era andata in sposa a Filippo Mountbatten. Le sono arrivati in una vecchia scatola che contiene anche una fotografia di nonna Ann insieme a Miriam Dassin, una famosa artista sopravvissuta all'Olocausto.

This audiobook talks about a popular low-carb diet - the ketogenic diet - popular with people who feel low carb diets are effective. This is part of a three-book series that covers different diets. However, what's different about this book (and others) is the fact that I am presenting to you my research findings complete with the framework I built on the Ketogenic diet - essentially an objective review of the diet based upon authenticated scientific research.

This book is based on one of the researches I carried out for a company in which I will be covering my research on three popular diet regimens - the Ketogenic diet, Mediterranean diet and Fast Metabolism Diet.

Terrore e speranza, amore e sacrificio: un romanzo ispirato a una storia vera. 1943. Per gli ebrei italiani la situazione si fa di giorno in giorno più difficile e pericolosa. I nazisti hanno occupato gran parte del paese, e il rischio di essere imprigionati e deportati è sempre più concreto.
