The Shirley of the title is a woman of independent means; her friend Caroline is not. Both struggle with what a woman`s role is & can be. Their male counterparts
- Louis, the powerless tutor, & Robert, his cloth-manufacturing brother
- also stand at odds to society`s expectations. The novel is set in a period of social & political ferment, featuring class disenfranchisement, the drama of Luddite machine-breaking, & the divisive effects of the Napoleonic Wars. But Charlotte Bronts particular strength lies in exploring the hidden psychological drama of love, loss & the quest for identity. Personal & public agitation are brought together against the dramatic backdrop of her native Yorkshire. As always, Bront? challenges convention, exploring the limitations of social justice whilst telling not one but two love stories.

` New York, like London, seems to be a toilet of all the depravities of human nature.` Thomas Jefferson Welcome to New York. One of the most vibrant & beautiful cities in the world. Home to the most iconic skyline human beings have ever clapped their eyes on. It is the birthplace of Liberty, freedom & hot-dogs. It boasts some of the planet`s most alluring & enduring attractions & some of the most expensive retail & residential square footage known to estate agents. It is home to the Knicks, Mets, Yankees, Giants, Jets & Devils. It is the city infamously referred to as the city that never sleeps. & it`s true. It doesn`t. Which is why, now, after all these years, it has started to look a little tired. A little run down. A little exhausted. In short, it is a city falling apart, on its knees & in need of a damn good bath. The book is a hilarious collection of photographs of the world`s most fascinating city at its worst. The photos reveal the eccentricites, bleakness & humour of every nook & cranny of the sprawling five boroughs. Shit New York is a warts-&-all walk around the world`s favourite city seen through the eyes of its locals & Patrick Dalton
- the quintessential Englishman in New York. Word count: 3, 000

Loads of towns & cities are covered in Shitsville UK. So, it`s safe to say, there`s every probability that somewhere local gets insulted. One thing`s for sure, a more sustained attack on our great British culture has yet to been seen in print. It`s quite impossible to read it in one sitting, & in truth, sits best by the lavatory, as the name suggests. Perhaps, you will buy the book out of curiosity. Only then, when you learn what bile is heaped upon your own hometown, will you take the book to a charity shop & write a stiff letter to the Telegraph. Is it a travel guide? Is it a joke? While a cloud of smugness large enough to be seen from space has settled across the land in the wake of the Olympics & the Royal Wedding & Boris Johnson`s inexplicable ascendancy nobody yet dares to come forth & contradict the mood of jollity
- only a fool with no concept of media literacy would dare now suggest that good old Blighty is actually, for the most part even shitter now than it was in the 1980`s. That fool is Monty Cantsin.
- Watch with horror as he attacks every sacred cow in the land!
- Cringe with embarrassment as he transparently profiteers from scandal!- Laugh your tits off as he mocks your friend`s home towns!
- Choke on your chocolate milk in rage as he lampoons your own tierra patria! It may be, that some twisted & degenerate people will find it funny. Those that might snigger at a Union Jack being set on fire, perhaps. The rest of us will simply feel a little older & a little sadder.
