Who doesn't dream of finding the love of their life? Lonely, quirky Oliver Birch certainly does, and he knows who she is. He's adored her from afar for thirty years. But there's a problem. Joanna is happily married to somebody else. Then, one day, out of the blue, she arrives at his apartment. And not just to visit. She's here to stay. For Oliver it's a dream come true, provided he can keep a handle on where two-dimensional fantasy ends and reality begins. Will she be his saviour ... or will she gradually drive him towards the unwelcome hands of a psychiatrist? Living with Jo is a love story with a difference. It explores a world familiar to many who find themselves single and adrift in later life. Sometimes they come across unusual and imaginative ways to fill emotional gaps in their lives. In Oliver's case, it's an imaginative step too far ...

""Kirwan Unmasked"" is a book that provides a critical review of Kirwan, a prominent figure in the Catholic Church during the 18th century. The review is presented in the form of six letters addressed to the Reverend Nicholas Murray, a fellow clergyman. The author, John Hughes, presents a detailed analysis of Kirwan's theological beliefs, his political affiliations, and his personal conduct. Hughes argues that Kirwan's views on various theological issues are inconsistent and contradictory, and that his political activities are motivated by self-interest rather than a genuine concern for the common good. The book also contains a detailed account of Kirwan's personal life, including his relationships with women and his financial dealings. Overall, ""Kirwan Unmasked"" is a scathing critique of a controversial figure in Catholic history, and provides valuable insights into the intellectual and social milieu of the 18th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
