“Chris Patten is nobody’s poodle” - The Guardian. Not Quite the Diplomat describes what has been happening in Britain, Europe and the world since 1997 from the perspective of one at the heart of international events. In examining how we got to where we are, Patten writes frankly about many of the major players and what happened behind closed doors. His sketches of world leaders – including Chirac, Putin, Kohl, and Blair (a man who ‘has convictions to which he holds strongly – while he holds them’) – and of key moments are done with the brush of a master portraitist.        In arguing about where we should be, he writes with the directness of a man freed at last from the bonds of diplomatic restraint. No recent book by a politician of any political persuasion has been so engaging, so outspoken – and often so funny. If Chris Patten is no longer the diplomat, it is the readers of this book who are the beneficiaries. Click here to purchase Not Quite the Diplomat from kalahari.net now!

Some are born odd, some achieve oddness, and some are just in the wrong place at the wrong time ... The Devon family is a good example: there's thirty-nine-year-old Glenn, whose main interest in life is rubbish collection; his mother, Bel, who teaches tap steps to eight-year-olds but acts as if she's running the Kirov; and his sister, Netta, who spent her early life simply being considered mad by association. Which is why she's dreading six weeks back in their company, helping them move house.         Also struggling to conform are Paul Gooding, a newly qualified doctor with a highly embarrassing past; his flatmate, Armand, who's obsessed with foot hygiene; and his colleague, Carrie, who (inadvertently) keeps killing people.         Odd One Out.         When enough people are out of step, they can form an army of their own ...

You only find true love once.        When Werther dances with the beautiful Lotte, it seems as though he is in paradise. It is a joy, however, that can only ever be short-lived. Engaged to another man, she tolerates Werther's adoration and encourages his friendship. She can never return his love.        Broken-hearted, he leaves her home in the country, trying to escape his own desire. But when he receives a letter telling him that she is finally married, his passion soon turns to destructive obsession.        And as his life falls apart, Werther is haunted by one certainty: He has lost his reason for living.
