Boater
Step aboard Boater, a mesmerising voyage along the tranquil waterways of England, written by former UK Canal Laureate, Jo Bell. 'It's not a lifestyle. It's a life' For over twenty years, Jo Bell, archaeologist and poet, has travelled the waterways of England (and sometimes Wales) meeting extraordinary people in an extraordinary environment. It’s a journey that's taught her about human nature, including her own; about rope and Brasso and bravery; about ducks and locks, and above all, about the necessity for a constant supply of biscuits. In this smart, funny memoir she describes an alternative nation within a nation, a place of different maps and deep history, and home to people who live and work in a world quite separate from the land a few feet away on the banks. Always at home, always on the move, Jo's peaceful life is interrupted when a turbulent relationship takes her on a year-long odyssey through tranquil waters and on to the treacherous Bristol Channel. Join her as she navigates shallow waters and deep trouble, and welcomes readers onboard a remarkable voyage through the past, present and future of our remarkable canals and the communities they support.
Middle Rage
'This great read manages to be both funny and emotionally charged' Fabulous, The Sun 'Relatable, poignant and laugh-out-loud funny' Platinum Four women who have lost themselves or who want to be lost, spend a life-changing weekend at a wild retreat on Bodmin Moor. Talking about feelings is Emma’s idea of hell. Annoyingly, she’s bottling up a lot of them. According to her husband, she’s been in a bad mood for the last five years. But Emma needs to open up to help her struggling daughter. The family therapist suggests a wellness retreat, so she’s picked the maddest one she could find. Which is how she has found herself on Bodmin Moor with two strangers and a retreat leader called Clover urging her to get in touch with her ‘dark feminine divine’. But Clover doesn’t know just how much Emma is hurting, and the more she pushes, the more Emma resists. Can she finally accept the anger she feels, and what will happen when she finally lets it all out? Brilliant funny and very relevant, Middle Rage is a rallying cry for women everywhere. ******** FANTASTIC reviews for Middle Rage 'A rallying cry for women everywhere, blending humour with real depth.'

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.

Because Simón was never part of the plan, and for the first time, Marianto doesn't have all the answers. Maybe she doesn't need to. . . One wildcard can change everything – will she be open to the possibilities?
