ONE LIFE TO GIVE: A Path to Finding Yourself by Helping Others Memoir / Inspirational
(Australian title: RADICAL GRATITUDE; UK title: THE GREATEST GIFT)
‘I was touched by this story of courage and sacrifice, blended with gems of wisdom reflecting the author’s many years as a psychotherapist.’ Dan Millman, www.peacefulwarrior.com
A poignant and inspiring story. Andrew Bienkowski was six years old when his family were exiled to Siberia in 1940. With virtually nothing to see them through the winter, his grandfather chose to starve to death in order to give his family a chance of survival. The years that followed were harrowing and difficult, but nevertheless magical. Warmed by the beauty of the landscape and the kindness of strangers, Andrew's childhood experiences in Siberia had a profound effect on his life. When he escaped the Soviet Union he trained as a psychotherapist, driven by the desire to help others living through difficult times. As Andrew shares his Siberian stories, and his counselling wisdom, he reminds us that the greatest fulfilment is found in helping others. 254pp.

| THE FISHING FLEET: HUSBAND-HUNTING IN THE RAJ Social History
Chosen by Lady Antonia Fraser as one of her Books of the Year 2012.
‘Fascinating and evocatively told history, which summons the exoticism of India under British rule and the lives and characters of the women who risked all for a husband’ Financial Times
‘A seasoned social historian brilliantly evokes the era, by allowing her heroines to do the talking. Vivid contemporary descriptions of everything from tiger hunts and tea dances to the agonies of prickly heat...the women who married into the Raj were true adventurers. De Courcy's book restores their proper reputation: as brave, sometimes batty, irredeemably British heroines’
Jemima Lews, Daily Mail
