A personal epic of scope and sincerity, And The Month Was May traces the life of Lillian Berliner, from her childhood in Hungary, to the concentration camps of Auschwitz and Bergen Belsen, to her eventual liberation and resettlement in New York. Rendering with equal candor the searing cruelty of the camps, and the flourishing of life thereafter, Berliner has produced a memoir that embraces hope even as it looks unflinchingly at horror. Central to the telling is Berliner's voice, springing from the page to evoke the characters, settings, and inner motivations of her life in stunning detail. It is a story that affirms the resilience and infinite potential of the human spirit.

Katherine’s ghost comes to him, pleading for justice. He meets Rosalind, a servant girl at the manor. She was Katherine’s friend and, together with Owen, they try to unravel the mystery. Rosalind is wrongly accused of theft and thrown into Worcester gaol, condemned to hang.Kit must juggle performances and amateur detective work, jeopardizing his career. He also has to deal with Geoffrey, a jealous rival who is determined to put a stop to Kit’s acting ambitions. His friend Owen is always there to help him and the wise woman Elinor calls on the spirits of the woods. Will Kit triumph or will it all come to nothing?All in the Month of May is suitable for children aged nine-12. Author Linda, who is inspired by Margaret Atwood, Sebastian Faulks and Ian McEwan, hopes the story will hook young readers into the world of Elizabethan theatre. “As a teacher, I discovered no ‘whodunnit’ historical fiction for children, so saw a gap in the market. I visualise Kit solving crimes as he continues his acting career at the Globe Theatre in Jacobean London,” says Linda.

Then April-May meets the drop-dead gorgeous Sebastian, befriends the total suck up mouth-breather Melly and things get a little more complicated.

'The Marry Month of May' was originally published in 1910. The narrative focuses on a rich, elderly widower called Mr. Coulson. Come May, he becomes enamoured with his widowed housekeeper Mrs. Widdup, but Mr. Coulson’s daughter is not at all pleased with the budding romance and plots to bring it to an abrupt halt. Will her plans to break up the spring romance work? This elaborate and witty short story muses on the themes of love, class and the impact of the environment on one's emotions. American short story master O. Henry is best known for his pithy, witty scores and surprise endings. In doing so he made commonplace experiences extraordinary and memorable. His work has been immortalised in the popular 1952 film 'O. Henry's Full House' starring Fred Allen, Anne Baxter, Marilyn Monroe and Jeanne Crain. William Sidney Porter (1862-1919), known simply as O. Henry, was a prolific American author of humorous literary pieces. His fame came exceptionally quickly and he became a bestselling author of short story collections. Perhaps the most famous of these are, 'Cabbages and Kings,' 'The Voice of the City' and 'Strictly Business.' The immensity of O. Henry's impact on the American short story genre for time to come is evidenced by the fact an annual award in his name is given out each year in the United States. O. Henry's work is a must read for fans of Hemingway, Guy de Maupassant and Anton Chekhov.
