Mary, a seventeen-year-old living in a crime-ridden neighbourhood in London with her mum, is about to embark on the financially efficient journey that is not going to college.
Considering Mary and her mum are shit broke and nobody could give a rat's arse about their dire circumstances, matters had to be taken into God's hands.
While Mary's out for a breath of fresh air one heaven-sent morning, a newspaper smacks her straight in the face with a headline that would change the course of her life forever:
'QUEEN CURRENTLY LOOKING FOR PERSONAL MAID. WILL PAY £25000 A YEAR.'
Join Mary as she sets out on an adventure in Buckingham palace, forging unlikely bonds, unravelling secrets, and witnessing firsthand the most absurd leisure activities of the longest living monarch in the world. This novel is perfect for lovers of irreverent British humour with a royal twist and is an enduring reminder that sometimes one can get away with something without risking a royal lawsuit.
Adam, a young police officer stationed in West Beirut—the Muslim side of the Green Line—remembers nothing of his past. After a traumatic head injury from a bomb, he was left to grow up in the Islamic Orphanage and forced to grapple with a new life in which he feels out of place. As talks of war with Israel run rampant on every street corner, an unexpected, intimate encounter with a woman at a party triggers flashbacks of his parents and questions about his origins he can no longer ignore. Adam sets out to uncover the truth about his family, only to stumble upon The White Doves, an all-female resistance group tied to the woman he loves, and a shadow from his past willing to do anything to keep the truth buried, even if it means losing him forever.
