Fulvia
'A thoroughly rapacious woman...as cruel as she is greedy' Cicero'A woman who took no thought for spinning or housekeeping...meddlesome and headstrong' Plutarch'[She] caused the death of many, both to satisfy her enmity and to gain their wealth' Cassius Dio'She acted in a haughty manner towards those who were placing her in a position to be arrogant' Orosius'Nothing of the woman in her except her sex' Velleius PaterculusThe charismatic Fulvia amassed a degree of military and political power that was unprecedented for a woman in Ancient Rome. Married three times to men who moved in powerful circles, including Marc Antony, Fulvia was not content to play the usual background role that was expected of a wife - instead she challenged the Roman patriarchy and sought to increase her influence in the face of determined opposition. It's rare to know so much about a particular Roman woman, but Fulvia was so despised by her male detractors that she was much written about. Acclaimed historian Jane Draycott has used original sources to piece together Fulvia's life and sort fact from fiction, while also exploring the role of women in Roman society.
Communion
'Marks the arrival of an explosive new talent' Observer'Rich and involving and emotionally charged' Guardian'An immaculate debut with dirt under its fingernails' Colin Walsh, author of KalaJust so we're clear, she said, I know the rules of confession. What I say cannot be repeated. Not to anyone... When Mack O'Brien left his home in Port Talbot for the seminary as a teenager, he didn't imagine he'd be back a decade later, unordained and still at a loss as to what makes for a moral life. He takes a job as a security guard at the local steelworks and begins an uneasy transition into the world he once rejected. When the men of the steelworks organise an unprecedented strike in protest against job cuts, he sees no reason not to go along with it. The last person Mack expects to see in the local club is Siwan Roderick - the woman who appeared out of the blue at the seminary one day to make a confession and swear him to secrecy. Mack kept his word. But as the day of the strike nears, and as he begins to fully understand what Siwan is planning, Mack is forced to reckon with his loyalty to her and the question of whether an act of violence can ever be justified. 'A rare novel ... This is poignant, resounding writing' Cynan Jones, author of Pulse'Each paragraph arrives like a short, beautiful breath' Andrew McMillan, author of Pity'Electric'Kasim Ali, author of Good Intentions

Know Yourself
We may spend years mastering the external world – acquiring degrees, advancing careers, building families – without ever turning inwards to make sense of the person orchestrating it all: ourselves. This book is a guide to the elusive, essential task of self-knowledge. With clarity, gentleness and depth, it explores why we are often mysteries to ourselves, how our childhoods quietly script our behaviours and why seemingly trivial experiences – an abrupt word, a strange dream, a lingering mood – can hold the keys to profound insight. Drawing on the wisdom of philosophy and psychotherapy, Know Yourself teaches us how to tune in to our inner signals, revisit the past without fear and better understand our desires, fears, patterns and longings. It is a call to begin the lifelong project of making sense of who we are – so that we might suffer less, connect more deeply with others and lead calmer, freer lives.

'This goes straight onto my list of favourite modern novels’ – The Times'One of our finest novelists of constrained fury: nobody writes better' – The Observer'Mesmerising . . . confirms Riley as one of Britain’s best' – The Telegraph‘A slim, impeccably controlled story that contains multitudes’ – The GuardianLaura and Putnam have been friends for a long time. Theirs is a happy meeting of minds, with long evenings spent huddled in an ancient pub by the Thames, where they share office gossip, reflect on their teenage passions, and lament the state of the world. Recently, though, Putnam has been harder to reach: he has lost his father, and the magazine to which he has dedicated his life has been hijacked by an insufferable new editor, Simon ‘call me Shove’ Halfpenny. Laura has her own problems: with a prickly mother and a tricky past, and in a beautiful and indifferent city, her day-to-day life is precarious. But as Putnam starts to sink into despondency, she must try to bring him back.
