You don't know what you've got till it's gone…
Bets Fowler has always been perfectly fine living her life firmly within the borders of her tiny village. But when her ex, Jack, returns and is suddenly everywhere she goes, she realises just how small the parameters of her existence have become, and starts to step outside her comfort zone.
Jack Ashcroft has always sought out a bigger life than he thought Wilsgrave could afford, but when a knockback sends him home, and back into Bets' orbit, he comes to see that the world he once inhabited has a lot more to offer than he ever realised, and that leaving might have been the biggest mistake he ever made.
Now, as Bets and Jack find themselves thrown together at every turn, the exes see what was and what could be in an entirely new light…

An Armsfull of Birds
A story of recovery, love, and loss—a memoir of healing ourselves and the natural world. Cara Benson did not come to love easy. As a low bottom addict, she crawled through subway tunnels and partnered with an abusive man. When she came face to face with her own death, she chose life. Her journey of survival led her into recovery, to climbing mountains, and ultimately to Jon, the man with whom she cultivated a relationship that began as “second chance lovers” and slowly developed into one as lifetime partners. Years later, Benson unexpectedly found herself in devastation as she came to terms with losing Jon to suicide. As she retreated into her grief, she also retreated into the woods of upstate New York, exploring the forests not as the avid hiker she’d become in recovery, but as a meanderer who had lost her way. Here she found more grief in her observation of the effects of climate change. In confronting her loss, Benson came to realize that the lessons she learned from loving Jon in sickness, health, and death could be applied to her relationship with the non-human world. From squirreling away oak acorns for reforestation of a logged property to maintaining feeders for the birds Jon adored, Benson’s daily life became a sort of field guide for how to live with a deep and abiding commitment to the future of the planet despite challenging odds. Moving through the intensely personal and kindred terrain of love, recovery, and loss, An Armsfull of Birds is a climate memoir that tells the story of developing deeply held commitments to ourselves, to those we love, and ultimately to the ailing natural world.

Last Resting Place
Last Resting Place looks at the loss of each of the ten capital ships of the Royal Navy that were sunk during the Second World War. The stories of some of the sinkings are well known and have become deemed simply part of the fortunes of war. Naval war involves battles, and in sea battles, sooner or later, protagonists are sunk.But for some of the capital ship losses the stories of how disaster struck are not quite as straightforward. The sinking of HMS Hood, for instance, has led to questioning the verdict of the official enquiry over many years, even up to the present day. It was concluded at the time that Hood was lost to a lucky hit from Bismarck that drove through the ship and caused a magazine at the stern to catch fire. The inquiry did go through various possibilities in detail but this was the best fit of three alternatives considered and has been left to stand. Yet Hood’s record of numerous dockings for repairs before her last sortie – some of which were heavy – was never even brought up, a surprising omission and the more so since close to the outbreak of war the First Sea Lord had commented: ‘she [Hood] needs a complete and total change of machinery as hers is twenty years old,’ and ‘the likelihood of her being able to steam at speed for any distance must be considered remote.’ Why was mechanical breakdown overlooked? The author’s detective work has brought to light some radical new conclusions.Some other ships such as Ark Royal and Hermes had their wrecks located on the seabed miles away from the official recorded position of their sinking and the loss of Royal Oak in Scapa Flow was an avoidable debacle. Even more contentious was the loss of Glorious, sent to Norway to recover some hopelessly antiquated Gloster Gladiator aircraft and lost on her return when she ran into the German battleships Scharnhorst and Gneisenau. The results of the inquiry into her sinking were later locked away for 100 years, a decision that has led to much speculation about the actual purpose of her mission and what is it about it that is being hidden from public view.In ten chapters the author dissects what happened to these fine ships, how their losses came about and where their wrecks are located; and he looks in detail at theories, causes and conclusions surrounding the sinkings. It is a fascinating compilation for anyone interested in the history of the Royal Navy’s great capital ships and sheds genuine new light on the calamitous destruction of nearly half of them during the War.
