Seeking Sexual Freedom
Nana Darkoa Sekyiamah is on a quest to encourage African women across the globe to live their best sex lives. As co-founder of the sex-positive feminist blog, Adventures from the Bedrooms of African Women, she has promoted sexual pleasure for African women for over a decade. In this book she shares lessons she''s learnt along the way, and insights gained from research and conversations with sex-positive African feminists, as well as knowledge gained from a series of sexual freedom workshops she has run with diverse groups of women.Seeking Sexual Freedom also excavates and reclaims traditional African sexual knowledge and practices in ways that can serve the contemporary African woman. Nana recounts conversations with women who hold responsibilities for organising traditional practices such as the dipo puberty rites in Ghana and the Ssengas (traditional marriage counsellors) in Uganda. And each chapter of the book ends with a bulleted list of journal prompts, and exercises that you can do on their own to find your own way towards sexual liberation.

He's the threat she was trained to kill. She's the secret he was sent to find.
And together, they might just break the world . . .
the witch doesn't drown in this one
In this one, the witch doesn’t burn or die or drown. In this one, she rages.In the witch doesn’t drown in this one, celebrated poetess amanda lovelace revisits the titular voice behind her 2018 bestselling collection the witch doesn’t burn in this one. With candor, honesty, and well-earned wisdom, lovelace expounds on the roller coaster of feelings brought on by simply trying to exist as a woman in the sociopolitical climate of 2025’s America. Through poetry that encompasses a myriad of fem-centric themes, including queer love, trans rights, patriarchal oppression, and intersectional feminism, she demands that women of all backgrounds and lived experiences be seen, heard, defended, and loved. the witch doesn’t drown in this one is a deeply felt and hard-won reminder that though some stories that start with bitch-fire end with tear stains, women are powerful, resilient beings who have always contained the strength to rise again, especially when we swim back to the surface together.
The Stolen Heart
Samson Kolechko has been assigned a most perplexing case - though it is mostly perplexing because it's hard to understand why selling the meat of one's own pig constitutes a crime. But apparently it does, and at the insistence of the Chekist secret police officer assigned to "reinforce" the Lybid police station, Samson does his diligent - if diffident - best. Yet no sooner has he got started than his live-in fiancée Nadezhda is abducted by striking railway workers who object to the census she's carrying out. And when you factor in a mysterious thief in the police station itself, a deadly tram accident that may have been pre-meditated, and the potential reappearance of the culprit in the case of the silver bone, it's no wonder the "meat case" takes a back seat. But it is in the pursuit of that petty-fogging, seemingly mundane matter that Samson's fate lies - and Nadezhda's too, for the two are inextricably entwined. Translated from the Russian by Boris DraylukReviews for The Silver Bone - Longlisted for the International Booker Prize"Andrey Kurkov is often called Ukraine's greatest living writer, and it is a gift for crime fiction fans that he writes in this genre" New York Times"Wildly enjoyable . . . A glorious aural portrait of a city in dangerous flux . . . I finished The Silver Bone wishing to read more" Guardian
The Edinburgh Murders
🔎 'A delight! A plot at once playful and disturbing, and a wonderfully satisfying surprise ending. McPherson is a terrific storyteller' ANN CLEEVES 🔎Edinburgh, 1948. Welfare Officer Helen Crowther has enough on her plate between her hectic job, her complicated love life, and her growing reputation as a troublemaker. Last year's scandal did nothing to help with the disapproval she already gets as a woman in her line of work. All she wants now is to focus on doing what she loves: helping the poor of the Fountainbridge ward in the city of Edinburgh. The last thing she needs is another string of murders to distract her . . . But when a gentleman dressed in working-man's clothing winds up dead right under Helen's nose, and she catches her own father in a very risky lie, Helen is propelled back into the dark world where class rules, justice is hard to come by and gruesome death is everywhere. Helen has already learned some hard truths about her city, but this investigation is about to reveal just how deep corruption can go . . . 'An intricately plotted mystery with wonderfully original (nasty, but not gory) murders. The rich period detail and use of local dialect immediately whisk you away to post-war Edinburgh. Hugely enjoyable!' FIONA LEITCH
Sleep Has His House
'Her writing is magnificent' Telegraph'A testament of remarkable, if feverish beauty' Guardian In an unhappy suburban household, a young girl begins to retreat into a nighttime world of her own imagining. As her daytime life deteriorates, she decides to take up permanent residence in the house of sleep, where rooms change position and dream-tigers prowl. But there are institutions determined to control her. Will they stop her coming home to the dark forever?A kaleidoscopic autobiographical narrative, written in the language of childhood dreams once known to us all, this is a work of devastating loneliness and stunning imaginative freedom.Part of the Pushkin Press Classics series: timeless storytelling by icons of literature, hand-picked from around the globe.Anna Kavan (1901-1968) was born Helen Woods, the only child of wealthy British expatriates, and grew up travelling through Europe and America.

After a mental breakdown in the 1930s she began writing under a new name, taken from one of her characters, and with a new style.

Tam, kde sa rieky spájajú
Na začiatku 20. storočia stojí mladá Eliza Riversová pred svetom, ktorý sa mení rýchlejšie než prúdy riek v jej milovanej Južnej Karolíne. Odmieta byť len tichou dedičkou veľkého panstva Mayfield – túži po slobode, po prírode, po živote mimo spoločenských pravidiel. No Veľká vojna, rodinné spory a neúprosné živly ju prinútia bojovať o všetko, čo miluje.
O osemdesiat rokov neskôr je Eliza poslednou strážkyňou Mayfieldu. Zocelená časom aj stratami musí čeliť vlastnému synovi a rozhodnúť sa, čo obetovať, aby zachránila rodinu i zem, ktorá ju formovala.
Tam, kde sa rieky spájajú je dojímavá rodinná sága o žene, ktorá sa nikdy nevzdala – o sile prírody, lásky a neústupnosti v časoch premien. Autorka bestsellerov New York Times Mary Alice Monroeová ponúka prvý z dvoch epických a sugestívnych románov oslavujúcich život jednej nebojácnej ženy naprieč viacerými generáciami na americkom Juhu, nádherné opisy Lowcountry a odkazy, ktoré platia stáročia.

Nevesta sekty
Ako sa z nenápadného dotazníka stane vstupenka do sekty?
Keď mala Liz Cameronová osemnásť, v nákupnom centre v austrálskej Canberre ju oslovila neznáma žena s nenápadnou prosbou o vyplnenie dotazníka. Bol to prvý krok na ceste do tajnostkárskej kresťanskej sekty, ktorá pôsobí v desiatkach krajín sveta.
Po mesiacoch indoktrinácie sa situácia vyhrotila – Liz sa k sekte nasťahovala, prerušila kontakt s rodinou a priateľmi a čoskoro bola „povýšená“ na nevestu vodcu sekty, sériového násilníka Jeonga Myeong-Seoka. Vybrala sa za ním do Južnej Kórey, kde ho navštevovala vo väzení a žila v luxusnom komplexe patriacom sekte. Po návrate do Austrálie sa jej fyzický aj psychický stav dramaticky zhoršil a jej život sa ocitol v ohrození. Až vďaka zásahu rodičov a profesionálnych deprogramátorov sa jej podarilo uniknúť.
Nevesta sekty je vážna a mimoriadne dôležitá autobiografická výpoveď o tom, ako sekty fungujú na očiach verejnosti, ako cielene vyhľadávajú zraniteľných ľudí a ako nenápadne rozkladajú ich identitu. Zároveň je to príbeh prežitia, návratu k sebe a varovanie, že vymývanie mozgov sa netýka len „slabých“ ľudí, ale kohokoľvek z nás.
Náš ľadovec sa roztápa, 2. vydanie
Náš ľadovec sa roztápa je jednoduchým príbehom o úspechu vo svete,
ktorý ustavične podlieha zmenám. Je to príbeh o kolónii tučniakov
z Antarktídy, ktorá žije dlhé roky nezmeneným spôsobom. Jedného dňa
zistí, že ich domov ohrozuje potenciálne katastrofický problém. John
Kotter, guru vrcholového manažmentu a organizačných zmien na Harvard
Business School, dokazuje v knihe s pomocou výstižnej bájky, ako sa dá
pomocou metódy ôsmich krokov dosiahnuť zmena v každej spoločnosti.

Netvor a ja
Temná romantasy inšpirovaná starovekým Rímom.
Sarai si stále nepamätá, prečo sa ju niekto pred štyrmi rokmi pokúsil zabiť. Vie však jedno: prípad bol uzavretý nespravodlivo. Dnes sa vracia na miesto činu s novou identitou Pravdolovkyne – prokurátorky schopnej magicky odhaliť klamstvo. Jej partnerom sa stáva chladný a sadistický Tetrarcha Kadra, najzlovestnejší zo štyroch sudcov vládnucich krajine a hlavný podozrivý v prípade úmrtí, ktoré sa podobajú na útok, aký prežila.
Presvedčená o jeho vine, Sarai začne viesť dvojitý život: vo dne súdi prípady po boku Kadru, v noci proti nemu spriada pomstu. Kadra je však sympatický a jeho tvrdá ruka pri riešení korupcie má v sebe čosi neodolateľné. Keď Sarai odhalí dôkazy, ktoré ju vtiahnu do smrteľného politického súboja, musí zároveň bojovať s vlastnou príťažlivosťou k mužovi, ktorého hlas jej pripomína jedinú spomienku na útočníka.
Netvor a ja je strhujúci príbeh inšpirovaný starovekým Rímom, kde sa miešajú intrigy, krvavé spory, manipulatívne hry a zakázaná láska. Perfektná voľba pre čitateľov, ktorí milujú romantasy s dávkou temného napätia a nečakaných zvratov.
