Aunti-ji - noun. a term sometimes used to address women older than oneself. Ji is traditionally used after someone's name to show respect, mainly by the communities of the Indian sub-continent. Somewhere in the city live three elderly, South Asian auntijies who have found themselves together in a refuge for abused women, empty of memories and bereft of their families and friends. Nearby, a new Indian bride has arrived in the country only to find herself in a place that she is utterly unprepared for. The Usual Auntijies is a bitter-sweet new comic-drama that visits the lives of four women as they embark on an inspiring, emotional and comic journey to overcome the past abuse and rediscover their sense of life, love and happiness. Exploring ideas of family and the cultural differences that exist between the East and West, the Auntijies struggle with popular Western culture and provide a hybrid cultural context which amusingly sits alongside the women's otherness and past pain. The Usual Auntijies is a celebration of all women of a particular age whose desires and struggles are too often forgotten.

A twist-filled thriller about a dark and deeply buried secret by an “accomplished” master of suspense (Publishers Weekly). After his mother was drowned at sea, young Robert—a child prodigy at bridge—was raised by her four sisters: Jacqueline, Peggy, Catherine, and Sadie. Despite their indifference and neglect, Rob developed his skills until he is head and shoulders above his adult competition, destined to become a Grand Master. What he didn’t know was that his aunts have made a solemn pact never to reveal exactly how his mother died. As an adult, Rob has become a celebrity bridge genius and his aunts have died one by one. The new woman in his life is an ambitious reporter named Rosalyn. As Rob’s star continues to rise, Rosalyn struggles with jealousy—and craving fame as a journalist, she digs and digs until she discovers the secret of the pact that Rob’s aunts swore to each other. And it will have devastating consequences . . .

This book concerns life in the twenty-five years before and during the second world war. Born in 1922, my first ten years were very happy years. Things changed with the sudden death of my father. Because he was a vicar, the family had to leave the vicarage in six weeks with no home to go to and very little money. To help my mother, her three widowed sisters (the aunts) came on the scene. The only security, away from this merry-go-round of our family life, was in boarding school and then the services. My brother in the Army and I in the WRNS. I was a plotter and worked in operations rooms at several naval bases. The last one was shortly before the invasion began. I was sent to Fort Southwick, near Portsmouth. I worked here, in the underground, steel lined, plotting room of 'combined headquarters' as 'Operation Overlord' unfolded in miniature on the plotting table in front of me. When the invasion was safely under way, I was posted to 'tactical anti-submarine training' in Scotland.
