In the Truth about luck, Iain Reid, author of the highly popular coming-of-age memoir One bird's choice, accompanies his grandmother on a five-day vacation--which turns out to be a "staycation" at his basement apartment in Kingston.

Between escorting his grandma to local attractions and restaurants, the two exchange memories and she begins to reveal details of her inspiring life story.

"A modern English comedy of morals and manners, about a highborn family of outrageous characters, in a story that proves revenge can be sweet. In the months leading up to the Brexit referendum, Ayesha, the beautiful, young secret daughter of the late Enyon Trelawney, has married the much older thuggish banker Tomlinson Sleet with whom she has a young daughter, Stella. Ayesha is busy restoring the once run-down Trelawney Castle in Cornwall, which Sleet has bought, to its former glory, as well as studying art at the Courtauld in London. The elderly Countess Clarissa-still ensconced on the property--the host of a camp television show, is about to head into a disastrous marriage. Lady Jane has separated from the hopeless Trelawney heir Kitto, who is crazier than ever, and found an enlightened woman to keep her company abroad. Sleet is becoming increasingly difficult, distracted by the seductive and ruthless bitcoin goddess Zamora, but Kitto's sister Blaze and her husband, Joshua, will support Ayesha's clever plan as she discovers shocking secrets, takes action, and brings the family together."--

I, Gloria Grahame / by Gilbert, Sky,1952-author.;
"A professor of English literature writes the autobiography of his fantasy alter-ego, wanton movie star Gloria Grahame, while his own sexual desires go frustrated. Denton Moulton--a shy, effeminate male professor--lives inside his head, and inside his head he is really a long-dead movie star--the glamorous Gloria Grahame, from the golden age of Hollywood. Professor Moulton is desperate to reveal Gloria's shocking secret before he dies. Does he have the right to tell this woman's story? Who, in fact, has the right to tell any story at all? This scandalous, satirical novel of taboo desires and repression alternates between Gloria's imagined life with her film-director husband (Nicholas Ray, director of Rebel Without a Cause) and Denton's increasingly frustrated real-life attempts to produce his own work of art, an all-male drag production of Shakespeare's Venus and Adonis. It takes us from high-strung film sets to dark bars to the puritanical offices of government arts granting agencies, where Denton runs up against the sternest warnings that he may not, in fact, imagine himself as someone else, even in art."--
