Love is always a best-selling subject. This engaging little hardback book makes an ideal gift not only for special occasions, such as Valentine's Day, but all year round. The light-hearted, contemporary illustrations will appeal to consumers from late teens upwards. The quotations are taken from a wide variety of sources, including modern films and literary classics, and range from sweet and slushy to cheeky, worldly-wise and cynical. "Women were brought up to believe that men were the answer. They weren't. They weren't even one of the questions." Julian Barnes " 'I will love you for ever,' swears the poet. I find this easy to swear too. 'I will love you at 4.15 p.m. next Tuesday': is that still as easy?" W.H. Auden "There are very few of us who have heart enough to be really in love without encouragement." Jane Austen

If you loved the TV series 'Call the Midwife', this real life account of a young woman's journey from convent to casualty is just for you. Kicking the Habit is the story of Eleanor Stewart's transition from carefree young woman of the Beatles generation through to a reclusive life in a French convent and on to serving as an inner city midwife.Beginning among the parties and nightclubs of the swinging sixties, Eleanor's story is one of drama, excitement, exhilaration and tragedy as she first gives up everything for the life of a nun, and then sacrifices the peace and tranquillity of the religious life for the business of bringing new life into the world she's denied, but must now re-enter.Written with honesty and affection, this is an intimate portrait of convent and hospital life that will appeal to readers of biography, social history and the details often missing from fiction set in the rapidly changing social and spiritual world of the 1960s.
