From the Feet Up by Tanya Saad – This dazzling memoir reveals one woman’s determination to overcome the odds and survive a frightening prognosis.
Tanya Saad’s life wasn’t perfect but it wasn’t far off. Happily occupied with a demanding job, the competitive cycling she loved and the support of her irrepressible family, she wasn’t given to introspection. Then the thunderbolt hit.
At the age of 30, Tanya discovered she had tested positive for the BRCA1 gene fault, which meant her chances of developing breast and ovarian cancer young had just increased exponentially.
Worse was to come when one of her beloved younger sisters tested positive, too. Told with great verve and humour, this memoir questions what it is that makes you a woman.
Boyfriends We’ve All Had (And Shouldn’t Have) by Mandy Nolan turns her acerbic wit onto boyfriends past and no-one escapes her observations.
From the needy besotted drip to the brooding unavailable bad boy, from Mr New Age to Mr Moody, Mandy has seen them all come and go in her quest for Mr Right.
This is a hilarious and revealing look at the emotional, pot-boiling mess and angst of romantic relationships. It’s wicked. Sometimes touching. But always funny. And did we mention wicked? You have been warned.
