I'm a Canadian who has lived in London, England the whole of my adult life. I've written lots of books, and have recently embarked on a programme to get most of my backlist into ebook editions. My new novel, 'Landing Gear' is out with Doubleday Canada, and Simon & Schuster in the USA, in both hardcover and ebook editions initially. In the UK, where I live, 'Landing Gear' is available as ebook only. 'The Mistress of Nothing' was my 'American debut'. In November 2009 'The Mistress of Nothing' won Canada's Governor General's Literary Award for Fiction; this was a huge huge honour for me and my book. I've been having a great time since then, as the GG has raised the profile of the book enormously, and has helped bring it to more readers. I'm hoping that readers who enjoyed 'The Mistress of Nothing' will also enjoy my new novel, 'Landing Gear', though they are very different books. As well as books, I also collaborate on works of digital fiction, like www.inanimatealice.com and www.flightpaths.net. In 2014 I'm helping co-create a new kind of war memorial, in response to the 100th anniversary of the beginning of World War One, Letter to an Unknown Soldier. The project asks everyone who is interested to write a letter to an unknown soldier - go to http://1418NOW.org.uk/letter to find out more. You can read my blog at www.katepullinger.com. Thanks for your interest!

Breve romanzo che approfondisce alcuni aspetti che il film non ha avuto modo di affrontare: perché Ada, la protagonista, è muta? Chi è il padre della sua figliola? Come mai è arrivata in Nuova Zelanda?Consigliato a chi ha amato il film e vuole continuare ad assaporarne le atmosfere.

This is the fictionalized story of Sally Naldrett, ladies maid to Lady Lucie Duff Gordon, and is set in the late 1800's. Both Sally and Lucie were real people. However, while a fair piece is known about Duff Gordon, known for her book Letters from Egypt, little is actually known about Sally, other...

And the moral of the story is: Use condoms.

I am very happy I stuck with this book. At first, I was having a difficult time with it and was really bored by the writing/storyline. Then, it hit me...and I felt nothing but pity for the main character which I can't go into...no spoilers here! The unbelievable arrogance of the aristocracy also sla...

Eh. It's not a BAD book, but I just don't think I can read it anymore. Sally has zero personality. Sorry, Meghan!
