This deeply personal and supportive series offers listeners an honest and relatable insight into how some the UK's best-known celebrities have coped with mental health difficulties, ranging from OCD to insomnia, addiction to grief, and depression to anxiety. But through self-discipline, mental toughness, and hard work, Goggins transformed himself from a depressed, overweight young man with no future into a US Armed Forces icon and one of the world's top endurance athletes.

I don’t think I’m giving too much away by saying this book barrels towards a festive, celebratory climax to lift all our spirits – a Christmas to remember indeed (the title does give it away! I've loved each of Anton du Beke's novels set in the enchanting Buckingham Hotel in the 1930s, and this one didn't disappoint.I read and I see Billy Brogan in the post room, sacks of post sat at its edges, I can imagine Frank gliding across the grand ballroom, I can see Maynard sat in his office with a glass of Bourbon, the girls in the kitchenette with their crumpets and grammar phone. Anton Du Beke – the King of Ballroom, 'Strictly Come Dancing' royalty, and household name – is one of this generation's all-round entertainers. There are some great characters especially Emmeline and Nancy, and a beautiful setting at Christmas time in London.
The arrival of elegant principal dancer, Hélène Marchmont’s estranged family bringing news of their own to the hotel exposes her most precious secret, thereby placing her future in the Grand Ballroom on the line.It's not just about them working, and dancing in the evening though, as this story is set in 1938, a year before WW2 began, and the author bids some very big nods to the coming of the war, in a way which is sympathetic.
Please include what you were doing when this page came up and the Cloudflare Ray ID found at the bottom of this page. The debonair Raymond de Guise and his love, Nancy; Mr Charles as he conducts his hotel director magic; Mrs Moffat as she cares for the girls under her leadership; Frank, Nancy’s brother, as he weaves his own story; Miss Edgerton as she steers the Daughters of Salvation. The addition of some Austrian and German characters brings alive the fear felt by a lot of people during those times. It was lovely to revisit all of the characters that we've come to know and love, and even lovelier that there was a touch of festive magic in the air.It is full of the richest characters who all have backstories which in some way help define them and so, to get the very best from them, you would be better playing catch up first. Inside the spectacular Grand Ballroom of the exclusive Buckingham Hotel, the rich and powerful, politicians, film stars, even royalty, rub shoulders with Raymond de Guise and his troupe of talented dancers from all around the world. As already mentioned, war is looming, but we also have the values and prejudices front and centre and these present quite a few challenges for many of the characters. I will however be pouncing on the Audiobook as soon as it is released so I can revisit with that extra dimension that the narrator brings.
His debut album reached the Top 20, and his annual sell-out tours have been thrilling dance fans in theatres nationwide for over a decade. I’m thrilled to be joining the Bonnier books cover reveal for the paperback edition of A Christmas to Remember by Anton Du Beke in partnership with Bonnier Books. I have to say I was very impressed as the book was very well written and very easy to read - I flew through the book as it was very enjoyable and I didn’t want to put it down.

The hotel staff are preparing for a once-in-a-lifetime event - the marriage of chambermaid Nancy Nettleton to debonair demonstration dancer Raymond de Guise.There's a reason We Are Legion was named Audible's Best Science Fiction Book of 2016: Its irresistibly irreverent wit! When Billy can’t find the informant, he wonders if Kate is secretly harboring her, since the two grew close during Kate's weeks undercover. The blurb on the front says something along the lines of "Downton meets strictly" and that is very much a good description of it, but it is also so much more.
