Priscilla Presley, Ann Cleeves, Panning for Gold, and Davina McCall's Inheritance Tracks
Description
Priscilla Presley met Elvis in Germany aged 14, moving with him to Graceland at 17 before their marriage, but despite the glamour surrounding their lives, Priscilla’s experience was marked by emotional complexity. In her new memoir, 'Softly as I Leave You', she reveals how she felt she was “living his life”.
Ann Cleeves has written 37 novels, garnering huge critical acclaim. Her work’s been translated into more than 20 languages, including television, with adaptations of her work yielding ITV’s Vera and the BBC’s Shetland. Her latest 'The Killing Stones' sees the return of DCI Jimmy Perez.
Vincent Thurkettle gave up a secure job with the Forestry Commission to pursue a life of gold prospecting at age 40 after he calculated his life expectancy was much less than he hoped. He is now best known for discovering Britain’s largest gold nugget, 97g, about the size of a small chicken egg in a shipwreck off the coast of Anglesey.
Also, Ursula Martin, the woman who decided to walk her way past cancer. 10 years and 10,000 miles on, she’s still walking.
Plus the inheritance tracks of Davina McCall.
