She Speaks!
''It is STUNNING and I simply sat and read it right through, and shall start again at once. I had no idea that she is such a sensationally fine poet. Astonishing'' JOANNA LUMLEY''Harriet Walter unpicks and re-centres the inner life and journey of these women as only one of our most talented and celebrated classical actors could. A must read!'' MAXINE PEAKE''Bold and original . . . Anyone who cares about Shakespeare will want to own and share this book''JAMES SHAPIRO, author of 1599: A Year in the Life of William ShakespeareDame Harriet Walter, renowned for her wonderful portrayals in Succession and Killing Eve among others, is one of Britain''s most esteemed Shakespearean actors. Now, having played most of the Bard''s female characters, audaciously she lets them speak their minds.With thirty new parts for Shakespeare''s women, written in ''Shakespearean'' verse and prose, Harriet Walter goes between the lines of the plays to let us hear what she imagines - sometimes playfully and sometimes searchingly - these women were really thinking. Gertrude tells Hamlet the unvarnished truth; Lady MacBeth has her regrets; Kate, the Shrew, challenges us; Juliet''s nurse challenges the nobility; Cleopatra''s handmaiden reveals her mistress''s secrets; Ariel is frightened of freedom; Ophelia surprises us; Olivia surprises herself; and the Witches have a good old rap.Harriet Walter herself says, ''I worship Shakespeare. His psychological insight is second to none but the mirror that he held up to nature reflected a predominantly male image of the world. I pondered the long shadow of his genius and tried to think of ways to let a little sunlight in on some of his women''s stories. I like to think he wouldn''t mind''.''An incisive, funny, mischievously subversive homage to Shakespeare''s heroines, written by one of mine'' MEERA SYAL''With characteristic wit, compassion and fierce intelligence, she gives tantalising voice to the Bard''s female greats'' TAMSIN GREIG''Effortlessly witty, charming, surprising, delightful. Clearly, Harriet Walter should have been in thewriters'' room with us for Succession'' FRANCESCA GARDINER
My Book of Treasures
''I welcome you with open arms to my book of treasures. It''s a book for all seasons and for all occasions; and it comes to you from me, with armfuls of effusive greetings and salutations, trailing clouds of glory and affection, this offering of treasures made specially for you.'' Joanna LumleyOver the years Joanna Lumley has kept private notebooks, filled with her favourite writings, thoughts and quotes. Now, for the first time, she opens her Book of Treasures to share some of her many and varied jottings with readers.This collection of chosen writings, interspersed with narration from Joanna, features the lines of her best-loved authors, from Shakespeare to Emily Dickinson, pearls of wisdom that she has heard or read, and nuggets of trivia and miscellanea that have made her happy.The book is full of surprise and variety: the wistful keeps company with the acerbic, the sincere slips in besides the absurd. And the result is a jewel box of delights, filled with fabulous titbits.
Daedalus is Dead
‘This book will destroy you’– Premee Mohamed, author of The Butcher of the ForestDaedalus of Crete is many things: the greatest architect in the world; the constructor of the Labyrinth that imprisoned the Minotaur; and the grieving father of Icarus, the boy who plunged into the sea as they flew from the grasp of the tyrannical King Minos. Now, Daedalus seeks to reunite with Icarus in the underworld even as he revisits his own memories of Crete, hoping to understand what went so terribly wrong at the end of his son’s life. Daedalus will confront any terror to see Icarus again – whether it be the vengeful spirit of Minos, the cunning Queen Persephone or the insatiable ghost of the Minotaur. But the truth, stalking Daedalus in the labyrinth of his own heart, might be too monstrous for him to bear . . . ‘Sullivan breathes new bold life into old myths by asking one devastating question: why did Icarus do it?’ – Sunyi Dean, Sunday Times bestselling author of The Book Eaters‘Rich and vividly imagined; as intricate, cruel and haunted as the labyrinth at its heart’ – Malcolm Devlin, author of And Then I Woke Up‘What starts as a story you’ve heard before quickly spirals into something new and exciting. This is a novella that crafts its own set of wings and absolutely soars’ – FanFiAddict

The friends – each from a very different background – are living in a gorgeous terraced flat in their Edinburgh idyll.

But in the nearby hometown of one of the flatmates, the Miners' Strike is bringing about a huge political shift.

And what are the limits of love between friends?

Children Of Dune - Dune 3
What The Lord of the Rings is to fantasy, Dune is to science fiction. Presenting Children of Dune, the third book in one of the most influential series of all time, which has inspired countless other stories for more than half a century, this is an awe-inspiring world, and a story of truly epic scope.
The sand-blasted world of Arrakis has become green, watered and fertile. Old Paul Atreides, who led the desert Fremen to political and religious domination of the galaxy, is gone.
But for the children of Dune, the very blossoming of their land contains the seeds of its own destruction. The altered climate is destroying the giant sandworms, and this in turn is disastrous for the planet''s economy.
Leto and Ghanima, Paul Atreides''s twin children and his heirs, can see possible solutions - but fanatics begin to challenge the rule of the all-powerful Atreides empire, and more than economic disaster threatens ...
Read the series which inspired the Academy Award-winning and jaw-dropping cinematic events Dune: Part One and Dune: Part Two. A science fiction spectacular like no other, this is a deeply climate conscious novel, and a compelling family saga for the ages.

Boy from the North Country
'Heartbreaking and brilliant' LILY KING'A remarkable novel' TONY KUSHNER'A monumental event for anyone who cares about Dylan' DAVID YAFFE'A debut novel of rare power' MARIA SEMPLE'A pleasure to read' VIVIAN GORNICK'A dazzling book' AMINATTA FORNAWhen Evan, twenty-six, is suddenly called home to the secluded farmhouse where he was raised by his mother, June, there is so much he does not yet know. He doesn't know the extent of his mother's illness. He doesn't know the identity of his biological father or the elusive story of his mother's creatively intense, emotionally turbulent romance with Bob Dylan, whom Evan reveres as an artist and whom strangers have long insisted he resembles. He doesn't know what drove his mother to leave New York City for a completely different existence. In this deeply moving debut novel, inspired by the author's own uncertain celebrity paternity, Sam Sussman writes one of the most tender and intimate mother-son relationships of our era. Caring for his mother as her condition worsens, and as she begins to tell him truths he has waited so long to hear, Evan comes to understand the startling gift this extraordinary woman has bequeathed him. Boy from the North Country is an emotionally searing meditation on the most essential human themes: loss, healing, memory and the redemptive power of love.
The Definitions
An elegant and haunting dystopian novel about a group of individuals gathered to relearn how to navigate the world after a mysterious illness strips them of their memories. Nestled in an idyllic locale beside the sea, The Centre is a place of rehabilitation and rebuilding. Students arrive nameless, their memories and sense of identity wiped by a strange illness. Each day, they attend classes that will help them relearn the right ways to speak and live; they practice the roles they ll assume once they ve graduated and returned to society. In their free time, they negotiate a burgeoning social hierarchy and watch old DVDs together; stories of characters whose names they adopt: Maria, Chandler, Chino, Gunther... But as shards of memories - of pets, lovers, errands, and beloved music - begin to threaten the strict curriculum of The Centre, some students start to question the definitions given to them, and explore the ways in which they might define themselves. A stunning, intimately told story about what makes us who we are, THE DEFINITIONS examines the limits of language, the power of human connection, and the ways the human spirit can flourish even under the most oppressive conditions.
Leave the Girls Behind
We assume we can spot a psychopath from across the room... Nineteen years ago, Ruth-Anne Baker's childhood friend was murdered by convicted killer, Ethan Oswald. With Oswald dead and the case closed, everybody tells Ruth it's time to move on - but she believes there is more to the story. And only the wilfully ignorant or easily duped would fall for their charms. When another young girl goes missing from their small town, Ruth becomes convinced that Oswald had an accomplice, someone the police overlooked. If no one has told you this yet - it's not quite that simple. So begins a journey that will draw Ruth across continents and perilously close to three women, each connected to Oswald in a different way. The deeper she delves, the more she suspects one of them knows the truth. About her childhood friend. About the missing girl. And, perhaps most dangerously of all, about Ruth herself...

Princess of Blood
Kenna Heron is best known in her village for being a little wild - some say "half feral" - but she'll need every ounce of that ferocity to survive captivity in the cruel Fae court.
Trapped as a servant in the faeries' underground kingdom of Mistei, Kenna must help her new mistress undertake six deadly trials, one for each branch of magic: Fire, Earth, Light, Void, Illusion, and Blood. If she succeeds, her mistress will gain immortality and become the heir to Earth House. If she doesn't, the punishment is death - for both mistress and servant.
With no ally but a sentient dagger of mysterious origins, Kenna must face monsters, magic, and grueling physical tests. But worse dangers wait underground, and soon Kenna gets caught up in a secret rebellion against the inventively sadistic faerie king. When her feelings for the rebellion's leader turn passionate, Kenna must decide if she's willing to risk her life for a better world and a chance at happiness.
Surviving the trials and overthrowing a tyrant king will take cunning, courage, and an iron will... but even that may not be enough.
