Celestine

Voices From A French Village

By: Gillian Tindall

Late on a summer afternoon in the very heart of rural France, in a small, centuries-old house newly abandoned to its ghosts, Gillian Tindall came upon a cache of letters dating from the 1860s. Neatly folded and carefully tucked away, all were addressed to the village innkeeper's daughter, Celestine. All but one were proposals of marriage. Celestine Chaumette (1844-1933) was to reject each of these suitors to wed another; yet she preserved the letters, keeping them throughout her long life. Something about the letters, about the woman who had so clearly cherished them, fired the historian's curiosity and the novelist's imagination. With a house in Chassignolles, Celestine's village, Ms. Tindall would spend years searching in dusty archives and farmhouse attics, probing the memories and myths of the men and women from the village and the surrounding countryside. The treasure she unearthed reaches far beyond the mystery of Celestine to tell of a vanished way of life, of a century of revolutionary change--and of the strange persistence, despite all, of the past. The result is both moving and profound. It is, as M.R.D. Foot wrote in the London Spectator, "a touching picture of a world we have lost [and] social history at its best.

Looking Forward

By: Gillian Tindall

Emerging from a grief-shadowed childhood in the First World War, Mary Denvers struggles to achieve her ambition to become a doctor. Through the years of the sexual revolution she plays an eminent part at the vanguard of the birth control movement. Her cousin Dodie, meanwhile, is a frivolous jazz flapper who rises to short-lived stardom as a novelist before wasting away in insanity. Though their fortunes are reversed as the years go by, childless Mary is prey to an enduring envy of Dodie’s motherhood, and finds her ideas challenged as new temptations confront her. The rivalries, ambitions and achievements of the women are finely paralleled against a superbly evoked background of changing decades. ‘Skilfully presented . . . The sense of life slipping away, of urgent problems not mattering any more, of ultimate futility, is movingly conveyed. It touched a nerve.’ Financial Times ‘Sharp, informed . . . Gillian Tindall has dug deep and unearthed a fascinating dossier’ Sunday Times ‘Observant . . . Glinting with humour’ Daily Telegraph

Give Them All My Love

By: Gillian Tindall

Gillian Tindall’s Give Them All My Love, the story of a killing in which she examines complex themes concerning love, revenge, justice and the nature of grief, is a tour de force, the most compelling novel she has ever written. The story opens with the narrator, Tom, in a prison cell: some traumatic, violent event has taken place. We realise its perpetrator must be Tom himself, though he speaks of ‘love’. The action shifts to a Court of Law, but we have gone back some years and Tom is there not as prisoner but as judge: Justice of the Peace, one-time headmaster, author, he is a respected figure. But he is also a man weighted with a double tragedy – the untimely death of his first wife, and the more terrible death of his daughter in an apparently senseless accident. A random event during that day in Court carries Tom back in memory to a far more distant period: his youth in France where he was writing a thesis on the Resistance, his meeting with a compelling figure from that world, living in retirement in the Creuse, and with the girl who becomes his wife. Other memories both good and bad now rise to the surface, together with a long-buried enmity and anger which belatedly stirs Tom into an obsessional private enquiry into the circumstances of his daughter’s death. Across the false trails and competing claims of Tom’s life, past and present, haunting patterns begin to emerge, till the reader, like the narrator, forsees what will come but not how.

Social Inclusion and Mental Health

Understanding Poverty, Inequality and Social Exclusion

By: Jed Boardman,Helen Killaspy,Gillian Mezey

People with mental health conditions are among the most socially excluded groups in society. Mental health conditions are influenced by the social environment, which in turn shapes our social and cultural responses to the people who experience them. Much of what mental health practitioners do is 'essentially social' and the effects of their interventions are hampered by the marginalised status of many of the people that they see. This book documents the ways in which people with mental health conditions are excluded from participating in society and offers some pointers as to how this may be reversed. It highlights the need to reduce mental health inequalities and to consider the importance of material inequalities and social injustices faced by people experiencing mental ill-health. Whilst the challenges are considerable and the solutions wide-ranging, mental health practitioners can play a significant role in facilitating the social inclusion of those with mental health conditions.

Deciphering Culture

Ordinary Curiosities and Subjective Narratives

By: Jane Crisp,Kay Ferres,Gillian Swanson

Representation, subjectivity and sexuality continue to be central to scholarly inquiry in the humanities and social sciences. Deciphering Culture explores their relationship, each author taking a distinct approach to the concept of 'curiosity' as a way of deciphering the working of particular cultural formations. In the process they address a variety of topics including: * the historical formation of subjectivities, identities and differences * cultural conduct and habits of the self * everyday cultures and negotiation * consumption and the body * memory, history and autobiography * the ethics of critical and textual inquiry. This fascinating book will appeal to students and academics from a variety of disciplinary backgrounds in the social sciences and cultural studies.
