And Now, Back to You


Weather boy meets weather girl. One big storm is heading their way . . . Jackson Clark likes life neat, predictable, and preferably viewed from the comfort of his radio booth. Delilah Stewart prefers hers wild, spontaneous, and preferably in the eye of the storm, out in the field. For years, the two have clashed like thunder and lightning - until they're partnered against their will to cover the snowstorm of the century, finding themselves scrambling to figure out how to work together. Eager to be taken seriously as a journalist, Delilah offers Jackson a deal. If he can help her ace this assignment, she'll help him rediscover his long-lost fun side. With an undiscovered chemistry burning beneath their clashes, the unlikely partnership quickly tumbles into an easy and surprising friendship. But when other feelings start to enter the equation, can Jackson and Delilah withstand the storm? Or does what happens in the mountains, stay in the mountains? Two competing meteorologists are forced to find common ground in this opposites attract, When Harry Met Sally-inspired romance, from New York Times bestselling author B.K. Borison.

In Praise of Slow


Almost everyone complains about the hectic pace of modern life. Our culture preaches that faster is better - yet all this rushing takes a toll. Carl Honoré uncovers a global movement that challenges the cult of speed by proving that slowing down can help us lead richer, more productive lives. The Slow movement is not about doing everything at a snail's pace: it is about striking a balance between fast and slow in order to thrive in a world of chronic impatience and instant gratification. A seminal book, In Praise of Slow is as relevant today as it was when it was first published. There has never been a better time to embrace the surprising power of slow.

Rousseaus Lost Children


Paris, 1777. The philosopher Jean-Jacques Rousseau receives a mysterious letter from a foreign visitor, Gavin Mulvany, asking whether the great man will take walks with him. Against his better judgement, Rousseau agrees. Might this strange man, who claims to be from the 21st century, be the true friend that Rousseau has been searching for his whole life? Paris, 2022. Gavin, a middle-aged academic, leaves his husband behind in Ireland to finish a long-delayed biography of Rousseau. While in Paris, he avoids work on his book by instead taking walks with Rousseau himself. As they wander the crowded streets of the eighteenth-century city, Gavin and Rousseau open up about certain past actions that have come to define them. Was Rousseau justified in abandoning his children? Should Gavin be forgiven for the terrible crime he committed to protect a man he once loved? Can talking and walking together lead both Gavin and Rousseau to finally be honest with themselves and their loved ones, and to a better understanding of what love, family, and society really mean? Rousseau's Lost Children is a thrilling epistolary novel cast across centuries, a bold and illuminating investigation into the boundaries of personal liberty and matters of morality, desire and loyalty.

Into the Hush


LONGLISTED FOR THE NATIONAL BOOK CRITICS CIRCLE AWARD A PEN / JEAN STEIN BOOK AWARD FINALIST'Wise, beguiling... a treasure and a beacon of a poet, whose indispensable body of work offers no less than a way to navigate this world' Sarah HoweA new collection and first UK publication from the Poet Laureate of the United StatesArthur Sze has long been renowned for his constellation of vision and generous imagination – able to hold the aspen leaf and the mountain range, the water droplet and the crashing surf in the same stunning poetic field. Turning his attention to habitat destruction, language extinction, mortality and so much more, Into the Hush sketches a world slipping into silence, asking what we lose to it, what emerges, and what can be held in its aperture. Sze draws together a startling array of imagery in these quietly forceful poems that render our complex universe with profound simplicity and clarity. Sze’s lyric voice – which at times inhabits the body of a jaguar and even an eraser – moves between chaos and stillness with supple agility, challenging our notions of traditional poetic forms such as the haibun, zuihitsu, sonnet and pantoum to break open new avenues of expression that speak to our fragmented world. Attuned to the underlying network that connects all things, Into the Hush charts a thrilling journey from silence into sound, from emptiness into the rich possibilities of existence.

Minority Rule


NOW WITH A BRAND NEW AFTERWORD Minority rule (noun): an irrational fear fuelled by right-wing pundits, lobby journalists and billionaires, that minority groups are displacing majority populations. We all know that the modern world is in crisis. But it's not just a crisis for the climate, or of living standards - it's a 'blame crisis'. Whether it's infighting on the left or the demonisation of immigrants on the right, there's always a new talking point to distract us from real, systemic change. Now is the time to realise that we have been duped into fighting with each other; now is the time to redirect our outrage towards those who deserve it. In Minority Rule, political commentator Ash Sarkar offers a sharp and lively reality check. Whether it's exposing the origins of the 'white working class', or examining how 'non-events' have taken over journalism, this book - now with a brand new afterword - will help you break the blame cycle for good.

Saoirse


Exploring the fine line between dishonesty and reinvention, Saoirse is an evocative and compelling story of a woman perpetually in flight. A book for fans of Trespasses by Louise Kennedy and Barbara's Kingsolver's Demon Copperhead. In the wilds of Donegal, Ireland, 1999, Saoirse is an artist living an outwardly idyllic life. Her tender husband Daithí and two beloved daughters are regular subjects for her work, and in them she has found the safe home that she has always longed for. She tends not to talk about her past, and those that love her have learned to accept that the full story is too painful for her to disclose. When her Dublin exhibition unexpectedly wins a prestigious award that invites a swarm of publicity, Saoirse is left panic stricken. The unanticipated recognition threatens to expose a decade's worth of buried memories and past crimes. Because what her family and friends don't know is that Saoirse has been on the run since she was seventeen, she has stolen an identity to survive, and whilst Ireland might now be her home, it wasn't her first - and now her past life is poised to reclaim her. The novel weaves between flashbacks to a complicated childhood in Michigan, and Saoirse's journey to and in Ireland to forge safety for herself.
