The wonderful Catch-22 by Joseph Heller, origin of the classic phrase, is £0.99 as a UK Kindle Daily Deal today. The blurb doesn't do it justice...

Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck is part of the UK Kindle Daily Deal today at £0.99. Steinbeck's titles are usually pretty high-priced, so glad to see this one on sale.

Free, from a series I like.
Command the Raven (An Uncivil War Book 2) by M. J. Logue February 1643 The beginning of the English Civil War and for once Captain Hollie Babbitt thinks his luck's turned. After a typically daredevil assault on Prince Rupert's elite cavalry troop, he's presently in favour with the Army of Parliament's commander. He's also personally in favour with Luce Pettitt's fragrant Auntie Het. And although they haven't managed to break Luce of the poeting habit, he's turning into a competent and capable officer. But what seems on the surface to be a minor promotion to a quiet backwater posting, sees Hollie forced to confront the demons of his past.... |

The Successor by Albanian author Ismail Kadaré (Wikipedia), who was apparently recipient of the inaugural Man Booker International Prize, among other awards. This is a dramatized historical political novel with mystery and psychological thriller elements based on the real life suspicious death of a successor to an Albanian dictator, which is apparently a “write what you know” situation at second hand. According to its Wikipedia entry, this novel is the 2nd part of a diptych with a self-contained tie-in novella, the two of which together are considered among his best works. A powerful political novel based on the sudden, mysterious death of the man who had been handpicked to succeed the hated Albanian dictator Enver Hoxha. Did he commit suicide or was he murdered? That is the burning question. The man who died by his own hand, or another’s, was Mehmet Shehu, the presumed heir to the ailing dictator. So sure was the world that he was next in line, he was known as The Successor. And then, shortly before Shehu was to assume power, he was found dead. The Successor is simultaneously a mystery novel, a historical novel-based on actual events and buttressed by the author’s private conversations with the son of the real-life Mehmet Shehu, and a psychological novel. How do you live when nothing is sure? Last edited by ATDrake; 10-30-2017 at 04:30 AM. |
