Live; live; live: Recipes To Help You Look, Feel And Live Well
by Jonathan BuckleyThe lapping of the sea was a lesson in mortality … ‘Live,’ he heard, with each whisper of the water. ‘Live; live; live.’ Through Lucas Judd, the dead make contact with the living, or so he believes, or professes to believe. He is a man of such penetrating insight and empathy that many have faith in his gift. They confide in him and find consolation. Even Joshua, his sceptical young neighbour, seems drawn by his neighbour’s compassionate sophistry. But when Erin, a much younger woman, shadowed by recent grief, moves in with Lucas, the focus of Joshua’s fascination begins to shift. Such are the surface ripples of this poignant and precisely attuned novel. Its depths reveal the largest of themes – mortality and love, and the ways in which our memories of others persist. Characters appear and recede only to return as if on a changed tide; living voices merge with the multitudes of the dead, leaving their trace or fading away. Live; live; live is a deeply resonant work by a novelist at the height of his powers.

It's 2137, and the future's dark.

Flora is seduced by the lavish lifestyle of her rulers, but also sees the brutality that underpins their lifestyle. What choices will she face on her last days in Eden? An innocent adrift in a world ripped apart by greed and want...The year is 2137, but the people of Eden are reduced to living in medieval fashion. The human race is deeply divided and the world has been brought to its knees by the Oil Wars and rising sea levels. Flora is trying to hold on to her humanity as her world changes forever.
