On the Wings of Eagles
A soaring, heart-wrenching, and hopeful family memoir of a mostly-forgotten Middle Eastern Jewish community. After dwelling for centuries on the poverty-stricken fringes of Yemeni society, the desert nation’s proud Jewish community was forced to emigrate, en masse, to Israel soon after that nation’s founding. In this deeply personal and historically rich family memoir, Naomi Kehati Bronner opens a window into the unique world in which her parents grew up—a Yemini-Jewish world whose ways remained virtually unchanged since the Middle Ages. Suddenly finding themselves forcibly thrust into the modern world, Kehati Bronner’s parents and their immigrant community struggle to adjust and assimilate, while still raising their children to remember and honor their ancient traditions. Her own deeply personal story of assimilation, reinvention, and self-discovery not only sheds light on the complexity of modern Israel, but mirrors the immigrant journey of countless people around the world—and in the case of Jews, Israel’s powerful role in providing a new sense of peoplehood.
America in the 21st Century
A sweeping political, economic, and social history of the United States from 2000 to 2025. America’s 21st century began with a bug—and nearly ended with another. Having survived the Y2k scare, the United States, having ended the Soviet Empire, expected to settle down into a period of quiet, if uninspiring, growth. What followed was anything but calm. After the 9/11 attacks, Americans were pulled inexorably into a pair of wars in the Middle East that saw President George W. Bush’s popularity go from nearly universal to nearly the worst in history. Bush’s presidency was finished off by the “Subprime Mortgage Crisis,” which in part enabled the rise of a young Barack Obama to the presidency. Instead of uniting America, Obama divided it further as Congress descended into years of futility while the American working class collapsed and American industry left. In 2016, Donald Trump ran on the platform of restoring the American dream, but was hamstrung by “resist” and “lawfare,” two relatively new political strategies that limited his achievements. A second “bug,” COVID-19, struck America in Trump’s final year, building enough dissatisfaction that, under questionable circumstances, Joe Biden was elected. A dissatisfied America boomeranged to make Trump only the second president in history to win an election, lose it, then win it again. Throughout, America’s economy, technology, and social structure changed in volcanic ways.

I Still Am A Woman, Pissed-Off & Curious
In 1976, Su Friedrich, the experimental filmmaker and visual artist known for exploring themes of identity, gender, and personal narrative through avant-garde cinema, embarked on a transformative six-month solo trip through nine countries in North and West Africa. Through her letters, diary entries, and images captured in black and white on her 35mm Olympus, she documented her day-to-day encounters with the people she meets from Algeria to Morocco (during the Western Sahara War), Burkina Faso to Nigeria (during a coup). Friedrich not only weaves a rich tapestry of Africa in the mid-1970s, but she also imbues each page with her thoughts, feelings, and discoveries. She travels south through the Sahara by hitching rides on trucks and recalls her surprise when she appeared in the central market of a town and was quickly invited to stay at the home of one of the curious locals. Thirty-nine years later, Friedrich has unearthed her journals, photographs and letters and has constructed a record of her discoveries on a journey that will resonate with readers who love to travel and fans with wanderlust.
Finding Dad
Peter Bessell was a British Member of Parliament, publicly described as a rogue; an MI6 agent; an MI5 agent; a secret advisor to the US government; a South African BOSS spy; a fraud; a charlatan; a lounge lizard; a murderer; a compulsive liar; a fantasist; a 'grass'; a 'man who operated in the shadowy world of politicians, bankers, fixers, conmen, and criminals'; and a sex addict. These descriptions were not made as some tittle tattle between courses at private dinner parties, they were made by respected people and mainstream publications. It was a judge who called him a liar, and Henry Kissinger who referred to him as a charlatan. What kind of man attracts this level of abuse, and how much of it was true?'Finding Dad' is the extraordinary story of Paul Bessell's uncomfortable discovery of the truth about Peter Bessell, his father, set against a background of astonishing business and political corruption. As a one-time pillar of the establishment and jet-setting financier, Bessell gained international notoriety as the chief prosecution witness in the Jeremy Thorpe trial. But his life was much more than the Thorpe affair. Drawing from extensive research from previously unseen, extensive archives left by is parents, the US and UK National Archives, Paul takes us on a compelling quest to reconcile all the upsetting things he has been told, and read, about his father against his own memories of the gentle, generous and kind man he loved. The story takes readers through the glamorous political and business worlds of 1960s and 70s London and New York, through mysterious work on behalf of governments, and-via fraud, murder plots and sex-to the Old Bailey and the 'trial of the century'.

And when other people come sniffing around for a share of Paula's winnings, she's faced with the ultimate choice: hold onto her old life, or accept help from her new friends, whose methods are a little more . . . unconventional.

I feel like this is the book I've been working towards for my whole writing life. The story of an ambitious woman in a world where women are supposed to be modest. A woman whose mind refuses to accept a small life, and whose body is reviled while remaining, for her, a source of great joy. A woman, who, like so many oppressed people throughout history, finds a way to subvert and resist. To be who she is without permission or approval. In Rapture this legendary, much-argued over figure is a flesh-and-blood woman of ingenuity, purpose and passion. Her name is Agnes, and I'm excited for you to meet her.'

To Kill A Mockingbird
'Shoot all the bluejays you want, if you can hit 'em, but remember it's a sin to kill a mockingbird.'
A lawyer’s advice to his children as he defends the real mockingbird of Harper Lee’s classic novel – a black man charged with a serious crime.
Through the young eyes of Scout and Jem Finch, Harper Lee explores the irrationality of adult attitudes to race and class in the Deep South of the 1930s. The conscience of a town steeped in prejudice, violence and hypocrisy is pricked by the stamina of one man’s struggle for justice.
But the weight of history will only tolerate so much.
The Vipers
On the glittering island of Capri, anything can be a mirage. But one thing is true: there's nothing deadlier than a family with everything to lose . . .
The world was shocked by playwright Sarah Lingate’s death thirty years ago at an opulent, white-washed villa on the island of Capri. Absolved of the crime, the Lingate family maintains that what happened that night was a tragic accident. And every July they return to Capri to prove it’s true.
This time, Helen Lingate - sole heir to the family fortune - has a plan. Tightly controlled by her father, she enlists the help of the family assistant, Lorna Moreno, to free herself from her family’s stranglehold on her life. And yet, behind closed doors, the legendary Lingate family unity is at breaking point. Upon arrival at the villa in Capri, an anonymous gift awaits them: the necklace Sarah was wearing the night she died.
In the aftermath, the paranoid, insular Lingates begin to unravel. As the investigation into her mother’s death is reopened, Helen begins to lose trust in everyone around her: her controlling father Richard, drug-addled aunt Naomi, aloof uncle Marcus, and even Lorna, whose past she realizes is frustratingly opaque. And as the family fractures, the long-hidden truth about that night and the secrets they’ve kept from one another boil to the surface - and they might not leave the island alive.

The Heirs of the Arctic
The Falcks are one of the most powerful families in Norway. And where there is power, there is envy and greed. December 2015. Six months after the revelations in a long-lost testament testament shook the Falck family to its core. Hans Falck, who had most to gain from the contentious will, lingers in a hospital bed in northern Norway, gravely injured in an accident. Meanwhile, Sasha Falck, who succeeded her father as the head of the family's foundation, is pushing for a research expedition to the Svalbard archipelago in the Arctic Sea. Yet there are reasons to be cautious - relations with Russia are strained, with Norway's old Cold War adversary reborn. The stakes are further raised when reports reach Sasha's ears of a foreign spy in the foundation, sparking a desperate hunt for the mole. And as the expedition nears the spectacular landscapes of the High Arctic, international tensions threaten to spill over into outright conflict - with fateful consequences for the Falck clan. The Heirs of the Arctic, the second novel in Aslak Nore's bestselling Falck Saga, traces a tale of illicit love, geopolitical cat-and-mouse games and bitter power struggles, as the fate of one powerful Norwegian family becomes emblematic of the challenges facing Europe in the new century. Translated from the Norwegian by Séan Kinsella
Murder at Gulls Nest
'HIGHLY recommended.' Marian Keyes'Nora Breen will become a favourite character.' Ian Moore'Nora Breen is Maria Von Trapp on steroids.' Richard Armitage'A seaside mystery full of intrigue and secrets.' Olivia Kiernan'A beautiful book, exquisitely written, I loved it.' Nicola UpsonThe first in a sparkling new 1950s seaside mystery series, featuring sharp-eyed former nun Nora Breen. In a house like Gulls Nest, curiosity might prove fatal . . . After thirty years in a convent, Nora Breen has thrown off her habit. Her fellow sister Frieda has gone missing and it's up to Nora to find her. Nora's only clue is that Frieda was last seen at Gulls Nest boarding house. So she travels down to the seaside town of Gore-on-Sea, takes a room and settles in to watch and listen. Over dubious - and sometimes downright inedible - dinners, Nora gathers evidence about the other lodgers. At long last, she has found an outlet for her powers of observation and, well, nosiness. When one of the lodgers is found dead, Nora decides she must find the murderer. Not least because she suspects the victim knew Frieda. Could solving this mystery help her to understand what has happened to her friend?'Kidd has imagination to die for and a real command of plot and character.' GuardianReaders love Murder at Gulls Nest ? A story that hooks you in and races you along. I loved it. ? The character observations are wonderful. Highly recommended. ? I fell in love with Nora from the moment I met her. ? She really has a magic way with words and it puts this "cosy" into a class of its own.
