Jill Mansell, unlike other writers in the rom-com arena, seems to get better with every book she writes. Thinking of You is her latest offering and proves that it is possible to get better with age!
Ginny Holland, a best selling author if left rattling around in her house on her own after daughter Jem goes to university. Lonely, she advertises her spare room for rent. Instead of a happy roommate, she gets moaning Laurel who is still hung up on her ex-boyfriend. If that wasn’t enough, Ginny finds herself lusting after two men who can only be bad for her. Will Ginny get the man of her dreams, or will he be the one that gets away?
Mansell has a disarming ability to create characters that you already know and that tends to make her books impossible to put down. This book is no different. It is charmingly written, hopelessly funny and will make you forget all of your own troubles as soon as you read the first page.

Blackwell Histories of English Literature/Literatures in EnglishIRISH LITERATURETerence BrownThis book will offer a contextualised account of the origins and developments of Irish literature in English. An introductory chapter will outline the history of the English language and of literary production in Ireland up to the end of the seventeenth century. The complex links with the neighbouring island which these involved (Spenser in Ireland will be discussed) will be highlighted, since this will be one of the preoccupations of subsequent chapters.The book proper will begin in the eighteenth century and will offer readings of principal texts in relation to several key issues: it will emphasise how Irish writing in English has consistently dealt with the matter of the representation of distinctive Irish reality (with violence often being considered as an aspect of Irish exceptionalism) and with history itself as a contested discursive zone.The book will also situate these readings in a cultural history of literary modernisation in these islands in which social and publishing conditions, audience expectation, taste, aesthetic assumptions, Romanticism, the rise of imperialism and nationalism, Modernism, etc (both in Ireland and in Britain) will be consistently addressed. This central section of the book will have five chapters (with appropriate chapter divisions) and it will be followed by a concluding chapter on the critical reception of the literature and on the current debate about its status in the context of post-colonial theory.
