IT’S estimated that one in three marriages end

in divorce. But frankly, that is a fate unlikely to

happen to Heswall couple Ethel and Jim McCulloch.

They have just celebrated an amazing 70 years of

marriage - and even got a card from the Queen to

say congratulations. We’ve got more on the happy

couple as well as a police update, two weddings,

lots of local news as well as books from Linghams of

Heswall, a what’s on guide and business directory.

Please try to support your local traders and don’t

forget to tell them you saw their advert in the

Heswall Local.

Kong), his colonial upbringing and carr, his long and comforabl marriag, his

rialris and frindships. th Man in h Woodn Ha picks up hs hrads from h

prspci of Filh’s wif, By. An orphan of h Japans inrnmn camps, a fr

spiri, a clr codbrakr a Blchly Park, By has hr own scr passions. No

wondr sh is drawn o Filh’s had rial a h bar, h brash forcful vnring.

Jan Gardam is xclln a dpicing wha sm o b ry connional characrs

and then exposing all sorts of unexpected contradictions and internal conicts. She isalso brillian a oking plac, whhr i b samy Hong Kong or poswar Pimlico.

If you enjoyed ‘Filth’ , you will love this book- another great recommendation for Book

Clubs.

Non-Fiction: Faulks on Fiction - Sebastian Faulks

Accompanying the fantastic programme on BBC this engrossing literary and social

hisory gis a complling and prsonal look a h Briish nol hrough is gras

characrs - h hros, lors, snobs and illains – all sn hrough h ys of

bsslling nolis Sbasian Faulks.

The publication of Robinson Crusoe in London in 1719

markd h arrial of a roluionary ar form: h nol.Briish wrirs wr prominn in shaping h nw yp

of storytelling - one which reected the experiences of

ordinary people, with characters in whom readers could nd

no only an scap, bu a dpr undrsanding of hir

own lives. But the novel was more than just a reection of

Briish lif. By focusing no on wrirs bu on h popl hy

ga us, Faulks no only clbras h rcnly nglcd

ac of nolisic craion bu shows how h mos nduring

ctional characters over the centuries have helped map the British psyche - through

heroes from Tom Jones to Sherlock Holmes, lovers from Mr Darcy to Lady Chatterley,

villains from Fagin to Barbara Covett and snobs from Emma Woodhouse to JamesBond.

A great read for any literature lover.

Teen Fiction: Forge - Laurie Halse Anderson

It is 1777. Curzon is ghting with the American army and preparing for a bitter winter

in Valley Forge. Isabel is trying to nd her little sister, from whom she’s been cruelly

ak a drasic and and dangrous cours of acion. How do you suri a war, libra

yourslf and h girl you lo from slary, and mak i o frdom?

Wonderful historical ction from a Carnegie shortlisted author, ideal for young teens.
