Power and the Glory
''Glamour, scholarship and superlative storytelling [...] an enthralling read.''LUCY WORSLEYAdrian Tinniswood opens the doors on the excess, intrigue and absurdities of life in the late Victorian and Edwardian country houseIn the decades before the First World War, the owners of the nation’s stately homes revelled in a golden age of glory and glamour. Nothing lay beyond their reach in a world where privilege and hedonism went hand-in-hand with duty and honour.This was a time when the ancestral seats of ancient nobility stood side-by-side with the fabulous palaces of Jewish bankers and Indian princes, when dukes and duchesses mixed with aristocratic society hostesses who had learned to dance in the chorus line and self-made millionaires who had been raised in the slums of Manchester and Birmingham.The Power and the Glory explores the country house during this golden age, when Britain ruled over a quarter of the world’s population, when its stately homes were at their most opulent and when, for the privileged few, life in the country house was the best life of all.''A wonderful book.''JUDITH FLANDERS''Scintillating and brilliant, from a master of the subject.''GARETH RUSSELL

Then she meets Luke Larsen, the handsome and icy magical historian who could hold the key to restoring her power. Luke has no interest in the inn's goings-on or letting a certain witch past his walls, so no one is more surprised than he when he agrees to help. Worse, he might actually be thawing.

Every morning, she spots him - tall, unreadable, always with a novel in hand…often the same one she is reading.

Economica
'Erudite, ambitious and richly global in scope' - PETER FRANKOPAN, author of The Silk Roads
'This book sets a new standard in economic history' - TIM HARFORD, author of How To Make the World Add Up
How many times have we been told that the working woman is a modern phenomenon? That men were responsible for the prosperity of humanity? That women's production was, for much of human history, confined to reproduction?
Economica shows that women have always been at the heart of economic progress, as entrepreneurs, merchants and industrialists - from Phryne, the richest woman in Ancient Athens, to Ching Shih, a sex-worker turned pirate who controlled trade in the South China Sea. Author Victoria Bateman also highlights the amazing stories of female workers who built the Pyramids, traded on the Silk Road and dominated London's medieval breweries.
Spanning the past twelve millennia, from the Stone Age to the present day, Economica rewrites our understanding of women's role in the economy, and tells a more accurate history of us all.

Mum Of Two: Love, Loss and My Life on Towie
"I am a mum of two beautiful daughters, Larose and Lorena. "My eldest, Larose, is the light of my life. She is so like I was as a child and with her big brown eyes, the double of her father too. And she loves to be the centre of attention... just like me. "But my youngest, Lorena, is harder to picture. I was able to hold her as a baby and see her tiny face, but I don't know what the colour of her eyes would be now or who she would look like today. I've never heard the sound of her laugh, or her cry."In Mum of Two, Lauren Goodger shares the story of losing her daughter, recounting the unimaginable, as she revisits navigating the hardest thing any parent could ever experience. This moving book explores not only the event itself, but the way in which the people around her responded, and how their actions drove her to become the strongest version of herself. Lauren recounts this life-altering tragedy from the moment the midwife couldn't find a heartbeat through to the most difficult days, months and years of her life that followed in its wake. In the aftermath of the worst thing that could happen to any mother, she realises none of those books, and none of those Instagram or TikTok videos, will tell you about what will happen if your baby doesn't make it. The reality is that you find out that no one will ever want to talk about it, or even talk to you, because no one knows what to say. Losing your baby doesn't turn off biology, your boobs still leak milk and you still bleed for days on end. You still have sleepless nights but it's your cries that keep you up, not your baby's. You might be terrified, like Lauren, of having that tiny wicker casket in your house and not knowing where to put it. Mum of Two is an exploration of motherhood, loss, and grief - but also of immense inner- strength, courage, and resilience.

Everything Will Swallow You
'One of our very best authors ... Very funny, very moving novel' The New World'Charming portrait of friendship and loneliness’ Daily Mail'Deeply comforting' Guardian'Funny, inventive and beautifully heart-breaking' Irish TimesHave you ever been curious about how people live when nobody is watching? Have you wondered whether there's more going on than meets the ey? ric and Carl live in Dorset in a small white cottage under the shadow of a big cliff. Eric sells old records and antiques. Carl cooks, cleans and crochets. Nearing seventy, Eric is a lifelong accumulator of obscure objects whose easygoing, chaotic approach to life masks some of the unaddressed sadness of his past. The significantly younger Carl is an old soul who has a sophisticated emotional intelligence and likes swimming, mid-century female novelists, fibre arts and Dolly Parton. If you passed them on a walk, you may not pay them much attention. Most likely you would see Carl’s long floppy ears, tail and fur and mistake him for a dog. The story of Eric and Carl's friendship spans twenty-one years: a constant anchor in a changing world. During that time they adopt an eccentric, unlikely gang of fellow travellers. Their wanderings through South West England unfold against a backdrop of lived, local folklore and hints at future apocalypse. All the while, Carl's true nature remains a closely guarded secret. Tom Cox's third novel is a rare gem, centred around the importance of friendship, the power of landscape and the joy of accepting the unusual. Everything Will Swallow You will make you think deeply about the place you occupy in the grand scheme of things and give fresh perspectives on how to live and love in the present moment.

The Mushroom Murders
LONGLISTED FOR THE 2026 INDIE BOOK AWARD FOR NON-FICTIONOn 29 July 2023, Erin Patterson hosted a family lunch at her home in the small regional Victorian town of Leongatha. She had invited her parents-in-law, Don and Gail Patterson, and Gail's sister, Heather Wilkinson, and her husband Ian. Erin made beef Wellington for her guests, individual beef eye fillets covered in mushroom paste, wrapped in pastry. The following day, all four guests were taken to hospital, and Heather, Gail and Don died. Ian Wilkinson barely survived. A toxicologist found traces of the highly poisonous death cap mushroom in the remains of the meal. At first, it appeared to be a dreadful accident. As the police investigation continued, the evidence mounted, seeming to point one way. Yet Erin Patterson spun a web of lies, and steadfastly claimed she did not intend to harm her relatives. Greg Haddrick tells the fascinating inside story of the dramatic murder trial, and the forensic evidence that convinced the jury to convict a suburban mother of a gruesome triple murder. With many details not previously revealed in the media, it is the compelling story of a troubled family, and the world's most poisonous mushroom, which is readily found in parks and gardens.
