Witch Please
Just when I thought things were looking up, Fate had to kick me in the kidneys.The worst thing that could happen after getting close and personal with Death was being stuck with a womanizer as a babysitter.

The Ending Writes Itself
''Secrets don''t stay secret for long in publishing''Six authors. One private island. Seventy-two hours to write the ending that will change their lives.‘This is a house of novelists, not murderers. You dream up crimes. You don’t commit them.’ ‘But a writer has. And so, who better than a writer to catch them?’World famous author Arthur Fletch is dead. His final novel, the most anticipated book in history, remains unfinished. But the ending won’t write itself.Fletch’s publisher, Merriweather Press, has invited six authors to Fletch’s private island in Scotland. Authors whose books have never had the big marketing budgets or publicity opportunities. In other words, midlist. And they’re about to be presented with the opportunity of a lifetime.Whoever writes a worthy ending will receive one million dollars, and a further one million dollars for a new three-book contract.They have just seventy-two hours, with no access to the outside world, just a typewriter and a blank page. All they have to do is write…Starting is often the hardest part. But getting to the end could be murder. *‘Agatha Christie''s And Then There Were None meets Yellowface… Great fun!’ Kate Mosse‘A great locked-room thriller and a brilliant satire on the publishing industry’ Karin Slaughter‘Fiendishly clever and compulsively readable… An absolute must read’ Ellery Lloyd‘Funny, razor sharp and scarily relatable’ Sarah Crossan

Like a Cat Loves a Bird
'This is a deeply stylish, astute and illuminating biography of a fascinating writer'FRANCESCA WADE, author of Square Haunting'Utterly charming. A book as elegant, sharp-witted and mischievous as its subject'CLARE POLLARD, author of Delphi'She was, if you believe what you read in the papers: a genius, a survivor, a bad mother, a fickle friend, a closeted lesbian, a tyrant, a loner, an eccentric, a recluse, a gossip, and an arch-manipulator. She would politely encourage you not to believe what you read in the papers.'Muriel Spark was one of literature's great shapeshifters. That mercurial quality is found in her strange, brilliant, cruel novels - with their plots featuring pensioners receiving telephone calls from Death, the devil going clubbing in Peckham and a fascist schoolmistress leading her coterie of girls astray - but it is also true of her as a person. As sly, nimble and elegant as Spark's own work, Like a Cat Loves a Bird is a thrilling new perspective on a remarkable life and career that spanned much of the twentieth century. From her childhood in Edinburgh to her final years in Tuscany - via South Africa, London, New York and Rome - it traces a light-footed journey around the world and through her strange and magnificent bibliography. It tells an irresistible story of transformation, wit and fierce determination and makes a passionate case for this vital modern artist. 'You don't have to be a Muriel Spark fan to enjoy the sharp wit of Like a Cat Loves a Bird, a fascinating and nuanced exploration of the sacrifices some make to focus on their art'LUKE TURNER, author of Out of the Woods'Vital, fun and immediate . . . full of engaging and astute literary analysis of Spark's work as well as scintillating, vivid biography'FRANCESCA REECE, author of Glass Houses'A readable and fascinating book, about an under-appreciated literary giantLUCINDA HAWKSLEY, author of The Mystery of Princess Louise

Wild Fictions
'Brims with ideas and insights . . . Ghosh is at his sparkling best' IRISH TIMESWild Fictions brings together Amitav Ghosh's extraordinary writing on the subjects that have obsessed him over the last twenty-five years: literature and language; climate change and the environment; human lives, travel, and discoveries. The spaces that we inhabit, and the way in which we occupy them, is a constant thread throughout this striking and expansive collection. From the significance of the commodification of the clove, the diversity of the mangrove forests in West Bengal and the radical fluidity of multilingualism, Wild Fictions is a powerful refutation of imperial violence, a fascinating exploration of the fictions we weave to absorb history, and a reminder of the importance of empathy. With the combination of moral passion, intellectual curiosity and literary elegance that defines his writing, Amitav Ghosh makes us understand the world in new, and urgent, ways. Together, the pieces within Wild Fictions chart a course that allows us to heal our relationships and restore a delicate balance with the volatile landscapes to which we all belong. 'We owe a great debt to Ghosh's brilliant mind, avenging pen, and huge soul' NAOMI KLEIN, author of This Changes Everything

Joyful, Anyway
THE INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLERNew York Times bestselling author and Duke University professor Kate Bowler offers a profound, funny and deeply human case for joy that doesn’t depend on everything getting better. ‘Bowler interrogates the idea of a meaningful life, not just for ourselves but for others, too. I value her work so much’ PANDORA SYKES'A delight from start to finish, Joyful, Anyway embodies the mix of pleasure and aching that makes us human' KATHERINE MAY, AUTHOR OF WINTERING'Joyful, Anyway is colourful and layered, unafraid of the occasional gut-punch of raw feeling and vulnerability - much like Kate Bowler herself' JERRY SEINFELD'A deeply moving everyday masterpiece. I loved it' ELIZABETH GILBERT, AUTHOR OF EAT, PRAY, LOVEYou can't always be happy, but you can be joyful, anyway. After surviving a stage-four cancer diagnosis, Kate Bowler knew she was supposed to be grateful. Alive. Blessed. But she still ached – for more connection, more surprise, less resentment on an ordinary day. So she went looking for joy. Not the toxic positivity kind. Not a five-step plan. But the type that sneaks in unexpectedly, seemingly out of nowhere. In Joyful, Anyway, Bowler takes us on a hilarious and tender journey through big questions and small delights. With wry wit and deep honesty, she explores how joy can surprise us even in the middle of pain, boredom and longing. This is not a book about fixing your life. It is about how we can all find more and feel more, by making room for small extraordinary moments. For anyone who has ever felt stuck, who is aching for meaning, who feels undone by loss, who feels that joy is just out of reach, who wants, simply, to have more fun, Joyful, Anyway is a delicious, insightful tour through the questions that sit in the deepest part of our souls. It proves that for every time we ask: Is this it? Joy will answer: there is more.

The Book Witch
Rainy March is a proud third-generation book witch, sworn to defend works of fiction from all foes real and imaginary. With her magical umbrella and feline familiar, she jumps into and out of novels to fix malicious alterations and wrangle characters that go off-script. Book witches live by a strict code: Real people belong in the real word; fictional characters belong in works of fiction.... Do not eat, drink, or sleep inside a fictional world, lest you become part of the story. Falling in love with a fictional character? Don't even think about it. Except Rainy has fallen hard for the Duke of Chicago, the dashing British detective who stars in her favorite noir series. After their illicit romance is exposed, Rainy is forbidden from ever seeing her fictional lover again, lest she be expelled from her book coven-and forced to give up the magical gifts that are as much a part of her as her own name. When a priceless book is stolen from her home, there's only one person she trusts to help her get it back: the Duke. Thus their shared quest begins through the worlds of Alice in Wonderland, The Great Gatsby, and other classics that will reveal hidden enemies and long-buried family secrets.

Britain's Revolutionary Summer
Midnight, 30 April 1926. Mineowners lock out a million miners. In response, British workers across the country down their tools. Britain’s first General Strike has begun. The government feared that the country was teetering on the brink of revolution. Trade union leaders thought they’d be shot by the end of the week. For nine days, trains, buses and trams stopped running. Lorries could only leave the docks protected by military convoy. In Birmingham, the police hunted down city councillors, and in London they raided trade union headquarters. And for those in the coalfields, from South Wales to Scotland, the strike would not last nine days, but nine months. On the strike’s centenary, Edd Mustill tells the story of why millions of workers came out on strike, and why the government did all it could to quash them.
