The First World War was won not just on the battlefields but on the Home Front, by the men, women and children left behind. This book explores the lives of the people of Pershore and the surrounding district in wartime, drawing on their memories, letters, postcards, photographs, leaflets and recipes to demonstrate how their hard work in cultivating and preserving fruit and vegetables helped to win the Great War.Pershore plums were used to make jam for the troops; but ensuring these and other fruits and vegetables were grown and harvested required the labour of land girls, Boy Scouts, schoolchildren, Irish labourers and Belgian refugees. When submarine warfare intensified, food shortages occurred and it became vital for Britain to grow more and eat less food. Housewives faced many challenges in feeding their families and so in 1916 the Pershore Women’s Institute was formed, providing many women with practical help and companionship during some of Britain’s darkest hours in history.

No. 23 Burlington Square

A beautifully heart-warming, charming historical book club read from Jenni Keer

By: Jenni Keer

London, 1927: One house. Three lives. A decision that will change everything. A powerful, unique timeslip story, perfect for fans of The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo, The Miniaturist, and Lucinda Riley. On the morning of Friday 5th August, 1927, Miss Agnes Humphries – the landlady of the attractive, if-slightly-shabby, white-fronted townhouse at Number 23 Burlington Square – has a decision to make. The rooms of the second floor lie empty, since poor Mr Blandford’s unfortunate demise, God rest his soul. And Agnes must make up her mind as to who will be her new lodger... Will it be her spirited, young niece Clara, who drifts through the glamorous world of London’s Bright Young Things? Or Stephen, the sensible, church-going, respectable banker who seems just be too good to be true? Or the timid war widow named Mercy, who is clearly running from something – or someone...? Agnes must choose between them. But what will her decision lead to? One of the choices could result in scandal, one in devastation, and one could even lead to happiness. If only she gets it right... As all three lodgers enter Number 23, in alternate timelines, relationships are formed and destroyed, feathers are ruffled, and secrets are exposed. Three different choices. Three very different paths. And Agnes is to discover that nobody – including herself – is quite who they seem... Readers are loving No. 23 Burlington Square: ‘Wow! I loved this! It’s such a clever book, beautifully written with such wonderful detail and amazing characters. I give this a very rare 10 out of 10 and will be adding Jenni Keer to my list of authors I must read everything they ever write. Superb!’ Goodreads reviewer ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ‘Oh my, Jenni Keer, where on earth did you magic up the plot of this utterly wonderful novel? I am awe-struck by your ingenuity... Stunning... One of my favourite books of the year... Having been a lifelong reader and a book blogger now for almost 7 years, being taken by surprise by a book happens less and less frequently, but the author has managed to do it with this one. It is honestly a work of beauty... Wonderful.’ Goodreads reviewer ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ‘I loved this book!!!... I didn't see what was coming... I was enthralled.’ Goodreads reviewer ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ‘Wow! Such a clever idea for a historical novel!...

I devoured it in a day... This has to be my favourite book of the year. If I could give it more stars, I would. It would make a great film or even a tv series. Literally as soon as I finished, I rang and told my daughter she had to read it.’ Goodreads reviewer ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ‘I couldn’t let this one go... These characters are all so superbly drawn. They feel real, like they might jump out of the pages of the book and wrap their arms around you... Quite simply, had me enthralled..’ Goodreads reviewer ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ‘I loved this tale from page one!... There’s a beautiful romance weaved throughout the story – for which I held my breath, hoping beyond hope that love would find a way!’ Goodreads reviewer ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ‘This book was something very special indeed... Such an original concept... I really couldn’t have loved it more.’ Goodreads reviewer ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ‘Full of twists and turns, heartbreak, warmth and hope. A book that I won’t forget.’ Goodreads reviewer ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ‘An absolute JOY to read!’ Goodreads reviewer ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Almost Anorexic

Is My (or My Loved One's) Relationship with Food a Problem?

By: Jennifer J Thomas,Jenni Schaefer

Determine if your eating behaviors are a problem, develop strategies to change unhealthy patterns, and learn when and how to get professional help when needed with this practical, engaging guide to taking care of yourself when you are not a full-blown anorexic. Millions of men and women struggle with disordered eating. Some stand at the mirror wondering how they can face the day when they look so fat. Others binge, purge, or exercise compulsively. Many skip meals, go on diet after diet, or cut out entire food groups. Still, they are never thin enough. While only 1 in 200 adults will struggle with full-blown anorexia nervosa, at least 1 in 20 (including 1 in 10 teen girls) will exhibit key symptoms of one or more of the officially recognized DSM eating disorders--anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, and binge eating disorder. Many suffer from the effects but never address the issue because they don't fully meet the diagnostic criteria. If this is the case for you, then you may be "almost anorexic." Drawing on case studies and the latest research, Almost Anorexic combines a psychologist's clinical experience with a patient's personal recovery story to help readers understand and overcome almost anorexia.Almost Anorexic will give you the skills to: understand the symptoms of almost anorexic; determine if your (or your loved one's) relationship with food is a problem; gain insight on how to intervene with a loved one; discover scientifically proven strategies to change unhealthy eating patterns; learn when and how to get professional help when it's needed.
