THE VALHALLA PROPHECY

Past secrets emerge to threaten archaeologist Nina Wilde and her husband, ex-SAS soldier Eddie Chase, when a Viking runestone is stolen by ruthless raiders. The stone holds the key to an ancient evil concealed in Norse mythology's holiest place: Valhalla.
In their ninth blockbusting adventure, Eddie and Nina find themselves in a race against time to locate the legendary hall of the Viking warriors - before rival powers claim its deadly contents for themselves. The quest will force Eddie to revisit a dark chapter from his past that he has kept hidden from everyone... including his wife.
Only Nina and Eddie can prevent the unleashing of a primordial terror from the depths of the earth. But even if they succeed, the cost may be greater than they could have ever imagined...

 The English Patient Quotes
 
“She had always wanted words, she loved them; grew up on them. Words gave her clarity, brought reason, shape''
 “...the heart is an organ of fire
 “From this point on, she whispered, we will either find or lose our souls.” 

 “Her hand touched me at the wrist. "If I gave you my life, you would drop it. Wouldn't you?"

I didn't say anything''



The English Patient, he gives us his most stunningly original and lyric novel yet. During the final moments of World War II, in a deserted Italian villa, four people come together: a young nurse, her will broken, all her energy focused on her last, dying patient, a man in whom she has seen something "she wanted to learn, to grow into and hide in"... the patient: an unknown Englishman, survivor of a plane crash, his mind awash with a life's worth of secrets and passions ... a thief whose "skills" have made him one of the war's heroes, and one of its casualties ... an Indian soldier in the British army, an expert at bomb disposal whose three years at war have taught him that "the only thing safe is himself." Slowly, they begin to reveal themselves to each other, the stories of their pasts and of the present unfolding in scene after haunting scene, taking us into the Sahara, the English countryside, down the streets of London during the Blitz, into the makeshift army hospitals of Italy, and through the battered gardens and rooms of the villa. And with these stories, Ondaatje weaves a complex tapestry of image and emotion, recollection and observation: the paths and details of four diverse lives caught and changed and now inextricably connected by the brutal, improbable circumstances of war.

EAT PRAY LOVE.... ELIZABETH GILBERT



      

Eat Pray Love.... 
One Women's Search For Everything.......


Eat Pray Love ......
has been passed from Women to Women 
like the Secret of Life



It's 3 a.m. and Elizabeth Gilbert is sobbing on the bathroom floor. She's in her thirties, she has a husband, a house, they're trying for a baby - and she doesn't want any of it. A divorce and a turbulent love affair later, she emerges battered and bewildered and realises it is time to pursue her own journey in search of three things she has been missing: pleasure, devotion and balance. So she travels to Rome, where she learns Italian from handsome, brown-eyed identical twins and gains twenty-five pounds, an ashram in India, where she finds that enlightenment entails getting up in the middle of the night to scrub the temple floor, and Bali where a toothless medicine man of indeterminate age offers her a new path to peace: simply sit still and smile. And slowly happiness begins to creep up on her.
