About this deal

They’ve fallen out of favour lately - I think it's because belly pork is quite a fatty cut of pork and people are very health conscious. But when he escapes from jail and heads to the seaside, he finds out that being bad is not such a good idea after all . Bangzo Books Wholesale is an online supplier of bestselling children’s books, specialising in box sets and collections.

We work closely with publishers and authors to ensure that we offer the best books on the market for your child. We take pride in offering a wide selection of used books, from classics to hidden gems, ensuring there is something for every literary palate.He wants to be a butcher's boy, or a bus-driver's boy or even a balloonist's boy - and his wishes are going to land him in lots of trouble .

It just shows the level of community that you get from being a local Chinese takeaway that is so special - it’s the relationships that you develop in the community, as well as these personal stories.When Ah Goong collapses in the street and has to go to hospital, Amy is determined to find out why he doesn’t speak to her father, before it’s too late. Weirder still, they’ve lived in the same small flat above the takeaway for the majority of those years, with Amy’s mother Joan acting as their unfortunate go-between and buffer. It really does mean a lot to think that even in 2021 we didn't realise that our stories were so common, and they are, and it's good! So if I depicted something truly awful, I would have said, “Oh, you, random stranger, who did something truly awful, you inspired something truly awful, that I think is interesting enough to put in my book, and live on for a year or so after the event”. Unfortunately, whilst I'd love to say that writing this book came natural to me and that I didn’t need help, working here was a perfectly good way to earn that money to acquire the skills and have the time to focus.

Their feud and Amy's reason for leaving Cardiff are simmering secrets that soon come to fruition in the climax of the story.The author brings the characters in the family and the town to life with her well-observed depictions and humour. Just like the tastiest Chinese dish, Happy Families is full of spice and flavour, sweetly funny, with a tiny dash of sour. Were there any points where you thought this was bringing back some memories from when you were younger?

In your novel we see that a story does not need to be exaggerated or extreme, that the everyday lives of the people who work at the takeaway have a rich history and drama to explore: for example, when we look at Ah Goong's journey and how he emigrated to Cawsmenyn, which is a very common theme amongst that generation of Hong Kong Chinese that moved over, and then became British Chinese.

My tip would be, if you have a tin of paint , go and paint a wall, get yourself a chair and sit and watch the paint dry. Especially as the family were more than happy to integrate within the small Welsh village (though naming their cats after Prime Ministers seemed a step too far! With wisdom and practical insights, the author skilfully navigates the challenges and joys of raising children in the modern world, particularly when they are struggling with anxiety or low mood. Just like the secret of why her grandfather, Ah Goong, and her faith, TC Li, haven’t spoken to each other in thirty years.
