A Mind of My Own
THE INSTANT BESTSELLER'Vivid, bright and beautiful' – Guardian'Wonderful. I wish I'd written it – I couldn't put it down' Miriam MargolyesKathy Burke is one of Britain's most distinctive voices. Even as a fearless kid in Islington, she did things her own way; roaming the estate that raised her to find her own path. A place at the Anna Scher Theatre in her teens changed the course of her life, and she found unimaginable success as an actress and writer – and national fame. But the rare gift that has always set her apart, beyond the stage or screen, is her ability to see the truth and tell it like it is. This spellbinding memoir is not just Kathy's story, but the story of her class, her gender and her time. A Mind of My Own is funny, profound and deeply entertaining. 'This is a book about being raised as a feral, motherless child; starting work at 17; immortalising several of this country’s most endearing catchphrases; triumphing at Cannes; being told you’re a genius by Peter Cook; and, at one party, accidentally taking some of Shaun Ryder’s crack, then attempting to set fire to a woman’s arse' – Caitlin Moran, Times Magazine'Glorious, very funny and no-nonsense, just like Kathy Burke' – Jo Brand
Ring of Salt: Finding home and hope on the Wild Coast of Ireland
Betsy Cornwell left home with her baby on his first birthday, checking into a hotel under a false name so her husband could not track them down. Over the long months of housing insecurity that followed, bouncing around cheap motel rooms and friend's couches, Betsy's determination to offer her son something she'd never had - a safe, stable home - took on the force of obsession. In The Old Knitting Factory, Cornwell invites readers to join her on the path that led out of her violent marriage and into renovating a run-down house on a lake in rural Ireland, transforming a largely abandoned and abused vacation house into a family home and childcare-inclusive arts retreat space for other single parents. Along the way, she creates community and finds family wherever she goes - even when she has to build it herself, brick by brick. Mixing Maid's gripping portrait of single motherhood's precarity with The Salt Path's wild, romantic sense of place - in this case among rural Ireland's cool mists, nubbly Aran yarns, and whispering turf fires - The Old Knitting Factory invites readers to experience the magic of found family and new beginnings.
Bannockburn
Relive the battle for a nation. As 8,000 Scottish soldiers, most of them spearmen, faced 18,000 English infantrymen, archers and mounted knights in June 1314 near the Bannock Burn, many would have thought that the result a foregone conclusion. But two days later, the English were routed, Edward II fled to the coast and took ship for home, and few English and Welsh soldiers escaped from Scotland unhurt. This emphatic victory was the moment that enabled Scotland to remain independent and pursue a different destiny. In this book, best-selling author Alistair Moffat offers fresh insights into one of the most famous battles in history, yet one which is surprisingly little understood. Where exactly was it fought; and what happened at the Scottish council of war the night before the second day to persuade the Scots to attack at daw? his book follows in detail the events of those two days that changed history, and captures all the fear, heroism, confusion and desperation as he describes the tactics and manoeuvres that led to a stunning and unexpected Scottish victory.
A Rich Harvest of Bitter Fruit
In June 1949, the US and British governments secretly agreed to mount a joint covert action operation to overthrow the communist government in Albania. The top-secret plan would use exiled dissidents to conduct subversive intelligence, paramilitary and propaganda operations to foment an uprising against Albania's authoritarian ruler Enver Hoxha. The Albanian operation is a vital but misunderstood part of Cold War history. A Rich Harvest of Bitter Fruit explains how the West, it its first secret attempt to subvert a communist state behind the iron curtain, ultimately backed away from trying to bring down Hoxha's regime. Instead, Albania was the test case of anti-communist covert action where the West served its apprenticeship before rolling out this capability on a global scale. Drawing on a range of material and primary sources, this is the first book to take an international look at this crucial flashpoint and incorporate the motives and actions of all four major actors - the Anglo-Americans, the Communist powers, Albania's regional neighbours, and the Albanian rebels themselves. A tale of subterfuge, secrecy and skulduggery, this is a compulsively readable and fascinating examination of one of the most important, and least examined, major flashpoints of the Cold War.
The Queen's Sister
A mother, a wife, a woman of substance... At nineteen, Elizabeth Seymour is already a mother, has been recently widowed, and seen her Queen, Anne Boleyn, lose her life. Against the wishes of her father, she heads North, away from Wulf Hall and the court in London to Yorkshire, determined to establish a new beginning as a landowner and business woman. As her family in Wiltshire curry favour with King Henry, aided by Thomas Cromwell, Elizabeth makes Kexby Manor her home, finding loyalty among her people there. Soon, news comes to Elizabeth of the King's desires for her sister, Jane and while her brother, Edward, encourages her own betrothal to Gregory Cromwell, son of Thomas. It is a happy second marriage for Elizabeth, but it brings unwanted involvement in the dark plots and secrecy of the court, while in the wider country, changes in religious practice threaten to alter the traditions and values of all she has known... THE QUEEN'S SISTER vividly imagines the story of the woman possibly portrayed in Hans Holbein's beautiful painting 'Portrait of a Lady,' and is a colourful, meticulously researched novel of Tudor life behind the scenes. What readers say about Carol McGrath's novels:'Another beautifully crafted, well-researched work of historical fiction from Carol McGrath''Brimming with intrigue, tension and adventure, The Lost Queen is a powerful Medieval tale full of atmosphere, danger and emotion and transports the reader to another world''The story of Matilda is strikingly brought to life with this beautiful written novel'

Writing Mr. Wrong - Mr. Tökéletlen
Gemma évek óta nem vetett papírra egyetlen szót sem.
A válása után azonban ismét fejest ugrik az írásba. Meg van győződve róla, hogy azért nem érdekel a kézirata egyetlen kiadót sem, mert senki sem szereti a rendes és kedves hőseit. Ezért úgy dönt, megalkotja a tökéletes Mr. Rosszfiút… első szerelme, Mason Moretti alapján, aki mára híres jégkorongozó lett. Gemma biztos benne, hogy senki sem fogja összekapcsolni a skót földesurat egy NHL-játékossal.
Csakhogy valaki mégis észreveszi a párhuzamot, és a titok napvilágra kerül.
Masonnek közben megvan a maga problémája: kiöregedő hokisként keresi a helyét, és amikor a Gemmával való „cuki találkozásuk” videója elterjed az interneten, előáll egy ötlettel: játsszák el, hogy együtt járnak, hogy jobban fogyjon Gemma könyve. Ez borzasztóan kedves tőle, és persze teljesen önzetlenül teszi, egyáltalán nem azért, hogy javítson a saját imidzsén…
Gemma vonakodva beleegyezik. Mason ráveszi, hogy utazzanak el, így befejezheti a régóta esedékes második könyvét, miközben „antiseggfej-leckéket” tart a férfinak. És ha Mason csak időt szeretne tölteni vele, az talán nem is olyan rossz húzás. Vagy mégis?

Prestaňte príliš premýšľať
Od autora medzinárodného bestsellera
„Neverte všetkému, čo si myslíte“
prichádza sprievodná príručka,
ktorá vám pomôže zmeniť paralyzujúci cyklus prílišného premýšľania na jasné a intuitívne rozhodovanie.
Váš mozog je naprogramovaný tak, aby nad rozhodnutiami príliš premýšľal – nie preto, že by s vami niečo nebolo
v poriadku, ale preto, že vám veľmi záleží na tom, aby ste urobili správne rozhodnutie. Ak ste sa niekedy ocitli
v nekonečnej slučke „čo keby“, analyzovali každú možnosť až do vyčerpania alebo hľadali rady u všetkých
okolo seba
a napriek tomu ste sa stále cítili stratení, táto kniha je vašou cestou von. Na rozdiel od tradičných prístupov,
ktoré vás nechajú uviaznuť medzi nekonečnou analýzou a nejasnou intuíciou, autor ponúka kontraintuitívny
systém, ktorý úplne obchádza začarovaný kruh prílišného premýšľania. Nejde o to robiť dokonalé rozhodnutia,
ale robiť rozhodnutia, ktoré sú v súlade s vašou jasnou mysľou, a nie s chaosom.
Kniha predstavuje psychologický a praktický rámec, ktorý vám pomôže prekonať „paralýzu z premýšľania“
a prejsť k rozhodnému a ucelenému konaniu. Presúva dôraz z hľadania „dokonalého“ rozhodnutia na rozho-
dovanie ukotvené v jasnosti a dôvere v seba samého.

Temnota kráča lesom
V temnom lese sa v priebehu jedného dňa nájdu mŕtvy dospievajúci chlapec a utopený kôň. Policajt Alexander Stenborg si dva prípady najskôr nespája. Nedávno sa so svojou tehotnou manželkou Sofiou presťahovali do malého idylického mesta Ormaryd, kde sa chystajú „začať odznova“. Počas vyšetrovania na prípade ho mätie časť zvieraťa, jeho oči – nevyzeral, akoby bol ešte živý? Chcel mu niečo povedať?
V skutočnosti Alexandra trápi, že musel ponížene odísť zo štokholmskej polície s poškvrnenou povesťou. Sofia sa po rokoch opäť skontaktuje so svojou mamou a je odhodlaná zistiť, kto je jej otec.
Uzavretá komunita mesta sa k snaživým novým susedom chová odťažito. Manželia sa nemôžu spoľahnúť ani na miestneho pastora, ktorý organizuje zvláštne stretnutia. Alexander a Sofia čoskoro vycítia, že v Ormaryd a neďalekých lesoch sa ukrýva čosi hrôzostrašné.
Temnota kráča lesom z pera spisovateľského dua Kallentoftovcov je tajomný atmosférický triler o sekte a rozpínajúcich sa hraniciach zla.
