La Maison
In this bold and intimate semi-autobiographical novel, La Maison, Emma Becker transports the reader behind the closed doors of a Berlin brothel, where she worked for two years not only to earn a living, but to immerse herself in a world she wanted to understand – and to write about with unflinching honesty. What emerges is a deeply personal, unsentimental, and often surprising account of life inside the brothel, where Becker explores not just the physical aspects of sex work, but the emotional, psychological, and social complexities that shape it. With frankness and literary insight, she recounts her encounters with clients, her growing self-awareness, and, most poignantly, the friendships and solidarity she finds among the other women who work there. Far from reducing sex work to cliché or voyeurism, Becker gives space to the quiet routines, shared laughter, private pain, and hard-won dignity of a profession often misunderstood and rarely written about from the inside. Part memoir, part sociological study, and wholly literary, La Maison challenges preconceptions about sex, agency, and femininity, offering a provocative and compassionate exploration of what it means to inhabit multiple identities—as worker, writer, woman, and witness.

Graveyards hold a special fascination. We’re drawn to their quiet beauty, the artistry and symbolism of their carved stones, and the stories they preserve of lives once lived. Understanding Scottish Graveyards remains the essential guide to exploring and interpreting this rich part of Scotland’s heritage. First published in 1985, Betty Willsher’s groundbreaking work transformed how we understand historic gravestones. She combined meticulous fieldwork with an accessible appreciation of their cultural and historical significance. This new, expanded fourth edition—produced in collaboration with Archaeology Scotland and Historic Environment Scotland—honours that legacy while fully embracing the digital age. The original text is updated to include a new regional gravestone symbols guide, based on Willsher’s survey of more than 660 graveyards across Lowland Scotland. Crucially, information in this edition is linked to freely available online archives and resources, opening the door for today’s readers and community researchers to continue Betty Willsher’s pioneering work. Through its blend of insight, guidance, and practical advice, Understanding Scottish Graveyards invites us all to explore, record, and protect Scotland’s remarkable historic gravestones—ensuring that the carvings etched in stone endure for generations to come.

I Could Read the Sky

It wrings the heart' John Berger'The voice that O'Grady has crafted succeeds so well ... running in parallel, Pyke's stark arresting images are laced between the paragraphs and chapters. The interplay between the two mediums is delicately powerful' Hilary White'A masterpiece' Robert Macfarlane'O'Grady does not just respond to Pyke's stark, beautiful photographs: he gives voice to thousands' Louise Kennedy'The experience of Irish emigration uniquely and powerfully illuminated' Mark Knopfler'If the words tell the story of the voiceless, the bleak lovely photographs show their faces. Fiction rarely gets as close to the messy, glorious truth as do memories and photographs. This rare novel dares to use both' Charlotte Mendelson, TLSAn old man lies alone and sleepless in London. Before dawn he is taken by an image from his childhood in the West of Ireland, and begins to remember a migrant's life. Haunted by the faces and the land he left behind, he calls forth the bars and boxing booths of England, the potato fields and building sites, the music he played and the woman he loved. Timothy O'Grady's tender, vivid prose and Steve Pyke's starkly beautiful photographs combine to make a unique work of fiction, an act of remembering suffused with loss, defiance and an unforgettable loveliness. An Irish life with echoes of the lives of unregarded migrant workers everywhere. Since it was first published in 1997, I Could Read the Sky has achieved the status of a classic.
