Trouble - Katja Ivar - Bog - Bitter Lemon Press - Plusbog.dk

Helsinki, June 1953, at the heart of the Cold War. Hella, now a reluctant private investigator, has been asked by her former boss at the Helsinki murder squad to do a background check on a member of the Finnish secret services. Not the type of job Hella was hoping for, but she accepts it on the condition that she is given access to the files concerning the roadside death of her father in 1942, at a time when Finland joined forces with Nazi Germany in its attack against the Soviet Union. German troops were sent to Finland, the Gestapo arrived in Helsinki and German influence on local government was strong, including demands for the deportation of local Jews. Colonel Mauzer, his wife and other family members were killed by a truck in a hit and run incident. An accident, file closed, they said. But not for Hella, whose unwelcome investigation leads to some who would prefer to see her stopped dead in her tracks.

Friendships - Mark Girouard - Bog - Bitter Lemon Press - Plusbog.dk

Friendships - Mark Girouard - Bog - Bitter Lemon Press - Plusbog.dk

Mark Girouard selects and reproduces 29 letters, ranging from his early childhood during the war to recent years, and uses them to memorialise their diverse authors. In the process a selective autobiography emerges as he discusses his relationship with the diverse crowd, painting a riveting picture of Bohemian cultural life in post-war Britain and Ireland. And the point of it all is to show that friendship has nothing to do with fame or wealth, but entirely with that sudden click of reciprocity, or pleasure in companionship, that makes life worth living.

James Ravilious - Robin Ravilious - Bog - Bitter Lemon Press - Plusbog.dk

James Ravilious trained as an artist, but a Cartier-Bresson exhibition converted him to photography, which he taught himself. In 1972, a move to his wife Robin s homeland - a very rural, unspoilt part of North Devon - inspired him. It also produced the perfect job: recording daily life in that traditional bit of old England before it was modernised. The results, over 75,000 black and white negatives in the Beaford Archive, form what Barry Lane, Secretary General of the Royal Photographic Society, called ''a unique body of work, unparalleled at least in this country for its scale and quality''.
