Earth to Earth
A STRONG WORDS BOOK OF THE YEAR 2025'CHILLING AND THRILLING' JOHN BANVILLE'IRRESISTIBLE STORYTELLING' THE TIMESOn Tuesday morning, 23rd September 1975, the corpses of three unmarried siblings, last surviving members of the ancient Luxton clan of Winkleigh, North Devon, were found on their remote farm. All three had had their heads blown off. Robbie's cheeks and neck had been stabbed; Frances had a broken leg. Strangely, each of the four doors to the house had been locked from the inside. The Luxtons' idyllic farm on a stretch of lush countryside between Exmoor and Dartmoor had been lovingly tended with outdated methods. There were rumours of a thwarted betrothal, wrangles over money and property, generational feuds in the extended family, bouts of insanity and extreme miserliness. John Cornwell's classic investigation into the violent deaths of these unhappy siblings told a story of a farming family struggling under unbearable practical and emotional pressures, their violent deaths, the police investigation and the proceedings of the inquest. The official verdict was that there had been a suicide pact, but Cornwell decided to revisit the evidence forty years after Earth to Earth was first published, and he finds that there were anomalies in the evidence suggesting alternative, criminal scenarios, and the misery that preceded these savage deaths suggested even darker elements. Were the Luxtons scapegoats of local malice, or victims of a murderous family conflict, stricken by a dire ancestral curs? his new edition of a true crime classic includes a postscript in which the author describes the extraordinary lengths that the great poet Ted Hughes, a neighbour of the Luxtons, went to try and suppress publication of the book.

He’s the swaggering frontman of The Ossians, a Scottish indie band on the brink of signing a major record deal. Desperate to make their mark, they set off on a two-week winter tour across Scotland’s cities and hinterlands — a last-ditch attempt to find fame, purpose, and themselves. But the tour soon spirals into a surreal, chaotic odyssey. From seedy bars and snowbound towns to a final, defining Glasgow gig, the band hurtles through a whirlwind of seagull massacres, botched drug deals, a mysterious stalker, radioactive beaches, bomb-testing ranges, epileptic fits, riotous Russian submariners, deadly storms, epiphanies, regular beatings and random shootings. Raw, darkly funny and wild with energy, The Ossians is a gloriously anarchic story of rock’n’roll obsession, national identity and self-destruction — and what it means to belong: in a band, in a country, in a life unravelling at speed. ___‘The authentic ring of a man who’s been there’ — Guardian‘Johnstone is good at describing the excitement, boredom, sniping and bonhomie of a touring band at the transit-van end of the career arc’ — The Times‘A blast’ — Scotland on Sunday‘So exhilaratingly authentic, you can hear the chords and smell the vomit’ — Christopher Brookmyre‘A gripping, compelling road trip around modern Scotland’ — Niall Griffiths‘This is This Is Spinal Tap for Scotland’s lost generation.

Keegan
SHORTLISTED FOR THE CHARLES TYRWHITT SPORTS BOOK AWARDSA BOOK OF THE YEAR IN THE TIMES, DAILY TELEGRAPH, FT AND IRISH TIMES'A marvellous tribute to one of the great characters of English football.' The TimesFrom the author of Klopp, a funny and insightful look at one of Britain's greatest and strangest football greats. He was stranger than he knew - than any of us knew. England captain. Mercurial competitor. Pop star manqué. The Face of Brut 33. Pioneer of the footballers' perm. Twice winner of the Ballon d'Or. Kevin Keegan owned the 1970s. We had never seen his like before. There appeared to be nothing he could fail at. Tracking his career from youth-team player at Scunthorpe to the England manager's job, by way of Liverpool, Newcastle and Hamburg, Keegan considers the extravagant highs of a football man who touched the game with genius, who was never sacked and who came within an ace of triumph as a manager. A story of almost and maybe, of excellence and of failure, it is a story too, perhaps, of the fans' quixotic search for a messiah. Praise for Klopp:'An elegiac memoir [and] a love letter to the great man himself.' The Times'Delightful . . . perfectly captures the man's endearing likeability.' Mail on Sunday

Nine years later, the boy's brother, Aaron Murray, is on the cusp of that moment when adolescence becomes adulthood. His own journey of grief and recovery has been guided by an angel, 'The Precious Gift' - perhaps imagined, perhaps real - who has blessed Aaron with redemptive, messianic powers. These have enabled him to see through the past and present, joining the dots between a vast array of characters; ballerinas, soldiers, poets, burlesque dancers, East End gangsters and the Vampire of Derry over five decades, all tied up in each other's fate. As Aaron's visions span cities and decades, from wartime Paris to the Troubles in the 1970s, Mexico City in the 1980s to - of course - Glasgow, Boyhood builds to an extraordinary, intense, climactic moment of redemption. A book of great joy, of laughter in the face of horror and delight in storytelling by the beloved and critically acclaimed author of This Is Memorial Device, Boyhood is a hymn to the resilience of youth, to the brave dreams of artists and lovers and a love letter to Glasgow - a city where magic happens.

A Wish For Us - Ezt kívánom magunknak
Történet a zenéről, a gyógyulásról és a szerelem mindent legyőző erejéről.
A tizenkilenc éves Cromwell Dean az elektronikus tánczene
feltörekvő csillaga. Emberek ezrei rajonganak érte,
de senki sem ismeri igazán. Senki sem látja, mit rejt a szíve.
Egészen addig, amíg fel nem bukkan a lila ruhás lány.
Ő átlát a ú által emelt falakon, egészen a lelkében tátongó ürességig.
Amikor Cromwell maga mögött hagyja Anglia szürkeségét,
hogy a forró Dél-Karolinában zenét tanuljon, a legkevésbé sem számít arra,
hogy újra látja őt. És arra végképp nem, hogy folyton ez a lány
jár majd az eszében, akár egy végtelenül ismétlődő dallam.
Bonnie Farraday a zenéért él. Minden hangot beenged a szívébe, és nem érti,
hogyan lehet, hogy valaki, aki annyira tehetséges, mint Cromwell, képes
elzárni magát ettől. A ú a múltja elől menekül, ezt pedig Bonnie is tudja jól.
Próbálja távol tartani magát a útól, de valami újra és újra visszahúzza hozzá.
Bonnie-tól újra berobbannak a színek Cromwell sötét világába.
Cromwell az a zene, amitől Bonnie szíve kihagy egy ütemet.
De amikor árnyék vetül Bonnie életére, Cromwellnek kell fényt hoznia
úgy, ahogy csak ő képes rá. Segítenie kell megtalálni a lány törékeny szívében
elveszett dalt. A remény szimfóniájával. A szerelem szimfóniájával.
A közös szimfóniájukkal.
