History of Criminal Tudor England
From noble intrigues at the restless royal court to the rough justice of parish life, A History of Criminal Tudor England explores how law, transgression, and faith shaped a society perched between medieval order and modern ambition. In a world ruled by the rhythm of the church and the uncertainty of the seasons, theft, murder, and misfortune exposed both the desperation and the ingenuity of England’s people.Drawing on centuries of legal records and the vivid stories buried in the plea rolls and assize courts, this book uncovers a world of accidents and murders, faith and cunning. Here are joiners who built secret priest holes, vagrants who defied their parishes, and killers who escaped the noose by reciting a single verse of scripture.Through these tales of fear, faith, and fragile justice, we see Tudor England not as a distant past, but as a living, breathing society which was restless, devout, and dangerously human.

Portrait of the Artist as a Young Dog
''One afternoon, in a particularly bright and glowing August, some years before I knew I was happy...''Charming, evocative and imbued with the melancholy of nostalgia, Portrait of the Artist as a Young Dog is Dylan Thomas''s much-loved collection of loosely autobiographical short fiction. First we meet the young schoolboy, gloriously immersed in make-believe in a shabby farmyard; then, the budding poet with his thrilling friendships and dreams of fortune; and finally, ''young Mr Thomas'', the penniless journalist who ''hoped, in a vague way, to live on women''.Shot through with the exuberance and enthusiasm of youth, these stories reveal Dylan Thomas the poet in an entirely new light, as he explores love, death, religion, adolescent sexuality and fragile male friendships in one of the twentieth century''s finest collections of short fiction.
The Flight
A young man''s passion for his father''s mistress turns tragic in this deft Russian novel by the author of modernist masterpiece The Spectre of Alexander Wolf.“The Gazdanov revival... is nothing short of a literary event.” —Times Literary Supplement Mixing psychological drama with devastating, sunsoaked romance, this modernist take on the traditional Russian 19th-century realist novel epitomised by Tolstoy delivers a timeless statement on the tension between sensuality and duty, community and freedom.While summering on the French Riviera, the young Seryozha secretly becomes the lover of the much older Liza—who is also his father''s mistress. As autumn approaches, they reluctantly part: Liza to return to Paris, Seryozha to take up his studies at university in London. When he finds out about their affair, Seryozha''s father attempts to convince Liza to leave his son, for the sake of the boy''s own happiness. She finally gives in—but a sudden, fatal catastrophe changes everything.An account of twisted love and youthful disillusionment that recalls Vladimir Nabokov and Françoise Sagan, full of secrets and reversals, Gazdanov''s second novel is proof of his wide-ranging talents. Originally written before his celebrated noir experiments, The Spectre of Alexander Wolf and The Buddha''s Return, The Flight blends tragic inevitability, complex and fractured family relationships, and a whirling cast of émigrés struggling to break through each other’s solitude to make for a devastating and compelling read.

Every garden needs a little weeding ...
Tucked away in the corner of a neighbourhood in Dosan, South Korea, is the Plant Shop. Its owner Yoohee has started anew, while her meticulously grown foliage thrives under her tender care. The shop is her refuge, where petunias and marigolds bloom and the air itself is like an elixir of peace.
By day, Yoohee dispenses gardening advice, but she also finds herself offering a special service out-of-hours. Women in desperation come to her about a man they hope might disappear from their lives.
Because Yoohee has encountered these kinds of men in her own life, men who treated her (and her beloved plants) with utter disrespect.
So as night falls, Yoohee trades her apron for a shovel and a hoe and vanishes into her moonlit garden. There, she buries not just the remains of the day, but also the bloody remnants of a few unfortunate incidents.
As more men are reported missing, a determined young detective comes knocking ...
Atmospheric and haunting, PLANT LADY is a subtle, humorous story of dangerous obsession and misogyny that will fertilise your deepest fears and keep you rooted right to its chilling last page.
Wasteland Girls
'A collection of stories that feel like worlds in their own right, masterworks in miniature. This book is the short story form in the hands of a master. Anna Bailey is a once-in-a-generation talent' C J Cooke
Wasteland Girls is a collection of lyrical, incisive and luminous stories by the Sunday Times bestselling author of Tall Bones and Our Last Wild Days.
These stunningly powerful stories explore the wildness and beauty of the American heartlands, a place where lives are lived on the margins, but also where there is dignity, hope, revenge and restitution.
In 'Long Way to Come for a Sip of Water', which was shortlisted for the BBC National Short Story Award, Texan man Ready drives through a divided US to see his dying brother. Wasteland Girls, the title story, is a powerful tale of a family of hoarders, of magic and revenge. In Yukon 1940, a woman sits beside the body of her husband in a remote cabin, trapped by the frozen sea. The Girl in the Ground follows a woman who suddenly reappears after twenty years of absence, but for whom the past is a void. A widower meets a man who should died many times.
Deeply atmospheric and soulful, the stories in Wasteland Girls are inspired by the author's experience of living amid the beautiful but often ferocious remote landscapes of the US, and among the wild and secretive people who inhabit them. In the vastness of the wilds, anything can happen...
