Jack & Bet
'A tender, unsentimental exploration of the bittersweet joys of lifelong companionship' – Daily Mail Even the longest marriages have their secrets . . . Jack and Bet have been married for seventy years. Happily so, for the most part. Now, all they want is to enjoy the time they have left together in their small flat. But their son Tommy has other ideas: he thinks they should move out and opt for round-the-clock care in a very different kind of home. When a young Romanian woman, Marinela, enters their lives, Bet thinks she might have found a solution to all of their problems; one that could change Marinela’s life for the better. But doing so would mean confronting a long-buried secret Bet has kept hidden from everyone, even Jack, for decades. An irresistibly moving story about love and loss, Sarah Butler's Jack & Bet is at once a story of unlikely friendship and a tender look at a lifelong struggle to find a place to call home. 'Full of beauty, pain and joy, I loved Jack & Bet' – Laura Barnett, author of The Versions of Us

Nightmare By: Robert E. Ford, Jr. Based on the author’s real-life experiences during – and after – the Viet Nam War, Nightmare follows enlisted man Jack Butler on a mission into dangerous territory, with enemy fighters on the move. Despite the reckless actions of an inexperienced “cherry” lieutenant, Staff Sergeant Butler tries desperately against the odds to accomplish the mission and keep his men alive. As the enemy closes in, Butler and his platoon risk their lives and show exemplary bravery to accomplish their task.

The Art of Jack B. Yeats
Jack B. Yeats is probably the greatest painter Ireland has ever produced, although he is often overshadowed somewhat by his more famous brother, the poet W. B. Yeats. First published to great acclaim in 1993, this is one of very few popular books on Yeat's work. With more than 100 colour plates and 175 black and white illustrations, it is an authoritative and glorious appreciation of Yeats's vast and varied output.
