Mother Ghost Mango Seed
Set in Thailand from 1976 to the present, Mother, Ghost, Mango Seed is a haunting yet hopeful exploration of grief, motherhood, and cultural identity ‘With pathos and swift, transporting prose, Natalie Gregory reveals a version of Thailand rich with counterculture, protest, and the lingering ghosts of those erased from collective memory’ Aube Rey Lescure, Women’s Prize shortlisted author of River East, River West ‘Mother, Ghost, Mango Seed is a brilliant and richly imagined debut. Gregory writes beautifully about motherhood, loneliness and the clash of family and politics’ Luan Goldie, Women’s Prize longlisted author of Nightingale Point ‘This book is not read, it is imbibed through gorgeous descriptions of food and rituals that bring Thailand's political and cultural history to the fore. Motherhood and grief are treated like the mysteries they are, as are repressed desires and their costs. This is an unforgettable read' Fauzia Musa, The Strangling Fig **** A single thread can unravel a web of secrets … Lin returns from England to Bangkok to care for her dying mother. In the city, pro-democracy protestors clash with the military government and ambitious new king. And among all this, Lin’s mother dies. Numbed at the wake and feeling like a stranger in her home country, Lin tries to cook her mother’s favourite dish, but her mother’s recipes are all missing, and in their place is an old political leaflet which everyone refuses to translate. Lonely and intrigued, Lin sets off with her baby to the Thai countryside in search of answers. As she discovers herself and her culture, Lin quickly finds that tugging at a single thread can unravel a web of secrets held for decades, driving away loved ones, breaking cultural taboos, and uncovering dreadful truths behind a devastating political past. ****
The Twitnam Summer
'A rollicking, brilliant book' GARETH RUSSELL 'Hugely enjoyable' SUNDAY TIMES A rollicking narrative history set during the extraordinary summer of 1726 when Jonathan Swift arrived in London from Dublin, with a draft of Gulliver’s Travels in his bag. Jonathan Swift settled into his great friend Alexander Pope’s new house on the river at Twickenham (or Twitnam as they liked to call it), and joined by John Gay, the trio of Scriblerus Club writers spent a delightful and creative summer, pushing each other to new satirical heights (The Dunciad and The Beggar’s Opera also ensued), exploring the gardens and houses of their aristocratic friends and thinking up ways to torment Robert Walpole’s corrupt Whig administration without going to jail. An unlikely threesome in many ways – Swift was 20 years older, and Gay was as large and indolent as Pope was tiny and restless – “the three Yahoos of Twittenham” were unmarried and took great emotional and intellectual succour from their friendship. The three of them added up to more than the sum of their considerable parts and, as well as being a brilliant evocation of the radical rage, the joy and stench of early eighteenth century life, The Twitnam Summer is also a very moving portrait of male friendship.

Észrevétlen függőségeink
Az Észrevétlen függőségeink húsba vágó történetek gyűjteménye. Embereké, akik eljutottak oda, ahol már nincs tovább: ahol a test felmondja a szolgálatot, és a halál nem elvont fogalom, hanem reális lehetőség. A kötet azonban nem ragad le a szélsőséges élethelyzetek bemutatásánál. Nem minden függőség látványos, és nem mind rombol hangosan: van, amelyik csendben épül be a mindennapokba. Sokan évek óta,,jól funkcionáló" függőként élnek: dolgoznak, gyereket nevelnek, látszólag rendezett az életük. Rácz Laura Rebecca több tucat mélyinterjún és szakértői beszélgetésen keresztül rajzolja fel a függőség ezernyi arcát: a szégyent, a tagadást, a mélypontokat. A megszólalók között aktív és felépülő függők, valamint hozzátartozók mesélnek veszteségről, visszaesésről és felismerésekről. A könyvben olyan emberek történetei olvashatók, akik életük egy pontján munka-, szex-, szerelem-, pornó-, testedzés-, versenyzés-, szerencsejáték-, alkohol-, kábítószer- vagy gyógyszerfüggőséggel, valamint étkezési zavarokkal vagy kodependenciával küzdöttek. A kötet nem áll meg a mélypontnál, hanem megmutatja a felépülés törékeny, mégis reményteli útját is. Az interjúalanyok őszintén beszélnek arról, mit jelent együtt élni a sóvárgással, hogyan válik a józanság napi munkává, és miként lehet a pusztító függőséget kapcsolódássá, alkotóerővé vagy akár szolgálattá alakítani. A személyes történeteket szakértői megszólalások egészítik ki, amelyek segítenek tágabb összefüggésbe helyezni a hallottakat. A könyv az érintettek és hozzátartozóik mellett szól azoknak is, akik szeretnének árnyaltabban, empatikusabban gondolkodni a függőség és a szerhasználat témájáról, ami napjainkban komoly társadalmi problémává nőtte ki magát, és amivel kapcsolatban mindannyiunknak van valamilyen tapasztalata.
In the Rhododendrons
'In a memoir that pulses with feeling and intelligence, [Christle] excavates the past to expose difficult truths' GuardianWhen Heather Christle realises that she, her mother, and Virginia Woolf share a traumatic history, she begins to rewrite and intertwine each of their stories, in search of a more hopeful narrative and a future she can live with. During a rare moment of vulnerability, Christle's mother shares a memory of assault as a child growing up in London. This instant of shock and recognition sends Christle down a rabbit hole into her mother's past. From Kew Gardens to the British Library and Bloomsbury, Christle's journey takes her deep into her family mythologies and her own buried memories. All the while, she finds that Virginia Woolf and her writings not only seem to connect and overlap with her mother's story, but also that Woolf becomes a kind of vital intermediary: a sometimes confidante, sometimes mentor, sometimes distancing lens through which Christle can safely observe her mother and their experiences. In the Rhododendrons is part memoir, part biography of Virginia Woolf, part reckoning with the things we cannot change and the ways we can completely transform, if we dare. This utterly original book will stir readers into new ways of seeing their own lives. 'Heartbreaking, revelatory, exquisite, and ultimately ecstatic, this book is a gift' Jessamine Chan, author of The School for Good Mothers
