Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow
THE MILLION-COPY BESTSELLING PHENOMENON ‘Exhilarating, timely and emotive’ GUARDIAN 'I devoured it. So enjoyable' ZADIE SMITH ‘Love, friendship and betrayal...gorgeous’ SUNDAY TELEGRAPH ------------------------------------ This is the story of Sam and Sadie. It's not a romance, but it is about love. When Sam catches sight of Sadie at a crowded train station one morning he is catapulted straight back to childhood, and the hours they spent immersed in playing games. Their spark is instantly reignited and sets off a creative collaboration that will make them superstars. It is the 90s, and anything is possible. What comes next is a decades-long tale of friendship and rivalry, fame and art, betrayal and tragedy, perfect worlds and imperfect ones. And, above all, our need to connect: to be loved and to love. --------------------------------------- 'I'm LOVING it' ZOE SUGG 'One of the best books I've ever read' JOHN GREEN ‘Extraordinary... made me sob' JOJO MOYES 'Magnificent...

Not A Game For Girls

Not A Game For Girls explores the most successful of the women's football teams established to boost wartime morale, following the suspension of all Football League matches at the end of the 1914-15 season. The Dick, Kerr's Ladies team was founded in 1917, based in Preston, Lancashire, and included the player Lily Parr who was honoured with a statue at the National Football Museum in Manchester in 2019. The play aims to highlight the Dick, Kerr's Ladies story, capturing the spirit and camaraderie that led women to ignore and defy prevailing social attitudes, both on and off the pitch. It shows the prejudices they faced, as well as how their lives and families were affected by the return of men who had been traumatised by trench warfare. The play ends as the Football Association, threatened by the popularity of the games, banned women from playing on their pitches. Yet the play ends on a hopeful note - the women had proved they could play well, and playing in the team had broadened the players' horizons, leading them to professions and places they might not otherwise have known.
Let Me Play
Do you ever skip dinner to finish that "impossible" level? Have you ever tossed your keyboard out the window after losing a game, or swung your controller around because you lost that power up? Would you like to learn a little bit about the underground world of emulation? If you answered yes to any of the above, this book was meant for you. With an insider's look at how people interact with the games and with each other, Radford Castro's tales of gaming are almost as fun as playing the games themselves.
