She'd stop buying clothes to cheer herself up, and she wouldn't have to hide the bills. All she wants is a room of her own, but she's got more chance of flying to the moon on a homemade space wagon because right now there's nothing in her pockets except a bit of fluff. When she looks at the streets around her, all she sees is poverty because it's 1970s inner-city Liverpool and that's the way it was.Everyone says if you don't laugh, you'll cry, so Josie laughs a lot, but sometimes her smile doesn't reach her eyes.She doesn't dare complain. Nobody likes a moaner but what's so wrong with wanting something more? She thinks she’s found a way out when she meets Mick. He looks like he'd help an old lady across the road, do her shopping and make her a pot of chicken soup as well.If looks were everything, he would be the man for her, but what's he hiding behind that smile? A funny, heartwarming, and nostalgic look back to gritty 1970s Liverpool.

     The murder of the Tsarina’s ‘Mad Monk’ sent shock waves through pre-revolutionary Russia. Many foretold it would mean the end of the monarchy — and they might have been right. But the murderers and their leader, the notorious Prince Yusupov, saw Rasputin’s hold over Nicholas II and his wife as an evil influence that was destroying Russia, whose armies were being slaughtered in the First World War. Yusupov was one of the richest men in Russia. He was also handsome, amusing and vain, boasting of the smallest waist of any man in Europe. Though married to the Tsar’s niece, Irina, he was homosexual and often paraded in women’s clothes — as such he even excited the attention of King Edward VII at the Théâtre des Capucines. During the revolution he was rescued at the eleventh hour with other members of the Imperial Family and went to Paris where he settled. His flamboyant lifestyle, his business adventures, court cases and struggles to raise money on the Yusupov jewels, as well as his friendships with the great of the time, including the Windsors, make exciting reading. Based on personal interviews and meticulous research, this enthralling biography captures the flavour of a bizarre, eventful and extraordinary life.
