Along the way, as Shelley recounts Max's stories of bloody Parisian barricades, medieval Austrian kitchens, and buried Roman boathouses, she begins to piece together the story of who her husband was and what these new revelations mean for her happily ever after.Because not all stories end where they are supposed to..."A smartly written romance, mystery and historical adventure all wrapped up in a page-turner that will have you guessing until the very end." - Adena Halpern, author of The Ten Best Days of My Life

The Vagabond
Renée, aged thirty-three and divorced from her serially unfaithful husband, reinvents herself as a dancer in France’s music halls. When a wealthy suitor appears promising marriage and stability, Renée must choose between the security he represents and her hard-won life as an artist.Colette’s great novel of the stage was based on her experiences as a struggling music hall performer following her own divorce. By turns melancholy and funny, it is a pioneering work of autofiction and a vivid portrayal of one woman’s quest for freedom.
John Berger
An illuminating new life of the peerless thinker, artist and author of Ways of SeeingTom Overton got to know John Berger around 2010, after he gave his archive to the British Library: a kind of homecoming to the city of his birth, after a life lived mostly in self-imposed exile in Switzerland and France. Curious about the origin of a piece of writing or art, Tom would scan something in and email it. Then there’d come a call, very early, very late. ‘Hello? Is that Tom? This is John. John Berger. Can I tell you a story?’ Tom realised he was bringing this archive back into John’s life, peering together through holes in time, remembering things he couldn’t himself. And then, at the beginning of 2017, John died.In this extraordinary new book, Overton explores the life and work of one of the great cultural figures of the last century, who came of age in a world threatened by nuclear apocalypse, and grew old in a world dominated by the idea that human life should be ordered with the logic of profit, always looking forward, never back. Berger’s work reimagined the relationship between art and technology; charted the disappearance of peasants from the world and documented migrant labour; explored with huge compassion the AIDS crisis; was trenchantly opposed to the new world order that emerged in the 1990s and the War on Terror and passionately committed to the Palestinian cause. There were so many different subjects to his work; so many precisely chosen forms. Cutting through the reverence that can build around any writer of his scope of achievement and drawing on both personal memory and a vast and previously unseen trove of material, Overton comes face to face with John Berger, showing the continued importance of a figure, whose work focused on the creating and recreating of communities past and present. For at the centre of this book, above all, is the idea that John Berger wants our company, and we need his.

The pull of the land or the call of the sea…
Annie MacLeod always knew she was different, growing up on a sailboat, navigating by stars and swimming with sea creatures, alongside her best friend, Evan. But when a tsunami hits, Annie is stranded on land; her entire world, and her eccentric identity, torn apart and upended.
In the wreckage, she rescues a wordless man named Walker, who emits a hum only she can hear. Their connection is instant. Walker’s touch gives Annie visions of the ocean’s hidden world, a life she’s never known but feels inexplicably drawn to. Yet even as she is pulled toward him, Evan – the steadfast love who has always been there – remains on dry land, offering stability and security. Annie is torn between Evan’s grounding presence and Walker’s magnetic secrets. But then, Walker vanishes, along with the answers Annie needs about who she really is.
Six years later, Annie has left the sea and buried the past – until Walker returns, pulling her back towards the ocean and the life she abandoned. The truth has roots more ancient than she ever could have known, and Annie must confront a choice that will test her heart and determine her future.

Emily se ocitá ve světě, který je fascinující, okouzlující, avšak také nelítostný. Jak se smrtelná žena, jež zasvětila roky studiu kouzelných bytostí, vyrovná s úlohou jejich vládkyně? Společně s Wendellem se budou muset postavit nadpřirozeným nepřátelům, poradit si s kletbami i intrikami předchozí kruté královny, Wendellovy macechy.
Říši víl i její fascinující obyvatele stravuje nebezpečná magie a Emily musí najít klíč k tomu, jak s ní bojovat — a hledá ho v příbězích, které ji odmalička fascinovaly, v minulosti i ve vlastním srdci. Jinak hrozí, že ona i Wendell ztratí vše, co je jim drahé.
The Dagger and the Flame - A Tőr és a Láng - The City of Fantome 1.
Fantome-ban, a macskaköves utcák, a pislákoló lámpafény, a pompás épületek és a titkos katakombák birodalmában az árnymágia ritka és halálos erejű kincs, amit a Palástok és a Tőrök – a tolvajok és a bérgyilkosok – uralnak.
Édesanyja meggyilkolásának éjszakáján a tizenhét éves Seraphine menekülni kényszerül. A Palástoknál keres menedéket, miközben a bosszú lángra kap a szívében. Vajon titkos képességei segítségével felveheti a harcot a sötét hajú fiúval, aki higanyszínű tekintetével követi minden lépését?
Semmi sem készítheti fel Serát a pillanatra, amikor végre szembekerül Ransommal, a Tőrök rendje örökösével. Ransom pedig döbbenten fedezi fel, hogy az egyszerű tanyasi lány egy olyan különös, lángoló mágiát birtokol, amit még soha életében nem látott…
Miközben a rivális rendek Fantome alvilágának uralmáért küzdenek, és szóbeszédek keringenek arról, hogy szörnyetegek garázdálkodnak a város utcáin, Seraphine-t és Ransomot több vonzza egymáshoz, mint a puszta mágia. Végzetes döntés vár rájuk: megbocsátás vagy bosszú? Csók vagy halál? Tőr vagy Láng?

The World Beneath Our Feet
'Thrilling and delightful' - George Monbiot'Vital, brilliant, wholly absorbing... A masterpiece of science writing' - Isabella treeTo appreciate the wonders of the world around us, we're often told to look up. But what if we need to look down instead?Everything that happens below ground sustains all life above it - yet we rarely think about this mysterious, dark underland. In The World Beneath Our Feet soil ecologist Frank Ashwood scratches the surface and takes us on an eye-opening safari through this precious ecosystem, from the ancient forests of New Zealand to the vast black soil deposits of the US and China. Every layer of the pedosphere is a world of its own, each more alien than the last as we travel deeper into the Earth.The ground beneath our feet hums with a staggering abundance of winding roots, interconnecting fungal networks, wriggling creatures and mind-blowing microbial life. This hidden ecosystem is the single most biodiverse habitat on the planet. Half of all our species exist underfoot, and just a handful of soil can contain an entire world. Without soil, there would be no life as we know it.In a story of connection and communication, we meet pioneering plants and minute animals that are essential to the health and wellbeing of our planet. We learn how soil makes our very existence possible, allowing us to cultivate crops as well as storing precious carbon and the water we need to survive. We marvel at soil as the Earth's fertiliser and one the building blocks of evolution, transforming decaying matter into the birthplace of new life.The World Beneath Our Feet opens our eyes to the hidden, wondrous world of soil and invites us all to play a part in protecting it for future generations.

Q
'Q is one of those rare books that hands you back a capability you didn't realise you'd lost' DANIEL H. PINKOur lives are shaped by questions: they are how we connect, persuade and flourish. But we live in a world that wants answers.Questions are engines of learning, catalysts for connection, and drivers of change. They direct our attention and make us feel closer to loved ones and strangers alike. In fact, we are the only species that truly asks questions of one another.But school trains us to answer, not ask. Workplaces reinforce that, and technology feeds us solutions before we’ve described the problem. The result is that we live in an answer-rich, question-poor world. Yet, from doctors’ surgeries to courtrooms to dating, the ability to ask questions determines our experiences. In a world obsessed by answers, asking better questions is powerful.Q takes us on a transformative journey into the art and science of questioning and will shift your perspective on the world. In a captivating narrative from the death of Socrates to the age of AI, Lani Watson draws on research in psychology, philosophy and neuroscience to show how questions play a vital role in our individual lives and in our shared human story.Q will make you think about the questions you ask and the ones you don’t. It is a life-enhancing invitation to harness the hidden power of our most underappreciated human skill.'Excellent. Q will alter how you interact with the world' DAVID EDMONDS'An exhilarating and wise book. This is what philosophy should be – fizzing, sparkling and catalytic' CHARLES FOSTER'By giving us back a simple tool we've had all along, Q empowers us all. This is a book that could change lives' INDIA RAKUSEN
