Love From the Cosmos
Beautiful, smart, and determined Moyo Adegbite has it all...almost. As a Boston-based Pediatrician, she’s made her parents back in Lagos proud. Now, she’s ready for true love. To avoid dating all the duds in Boston, Moyo’s research led her to devise a foolproof plan: Join Cupid's Bow, the popular astrology dating app that uses birth charts to match soulmates with a 99 percent success rate. And the app works…until it doesn’t. After discovering the infidelity of a Cupid’s Bow match, Moyo goes on a booze-fueled rant against the app’s creators, filing an irate complaint slamming the planet responsible for her love life—the god, Saturn. Niyi Bankole was reluctantly named Saturn, and now he’s saddled with a position at Cupid’s Bow, the family business, as one of three matchmakers. But Niyi quickly learns he’s unequipped to be a god. Leaning into his science background to hide his incompetence, Niyi writes an algorithm that seems to work for clients...until Moyo’s complaint triggers damage control. Now, Moyo is contracted to receive a dating coach to walk her through three Cupid’s Bow–assigned dates. Eager to clean up his mess and (secretly) fine-tune his algorithm, Niyi offers to be Moyo’s dating coach. As they work together, will Moyo find love through the algorithm, as she and Niyi planned, or will she get swept up in one of Saturn’s rings?
Ancient Fantasies and Modern Power
Chicago's Columbian Exposition of 1893 celebrated the quadricentennial of Columbus's 'discovery” of the Americas by creating a fantastical white city composed of Roman triumphal arches and domes, Corinthian colonnades, and Egyptian obelisks. World's fairs were among the most important cultural, socio-economic, and political phenomena of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries: millions visited hoping to understand the modernity and progress of these cities and the nascent superpower of the United States. But what they found was often a representation of the past. From 1893 to 1915, ancient Greco-Roman and Egyptian architecture was deployed to create immersive environments at Chicago, Nashville, Omaha, St. Louis, and San Francisco. The seemingly endless adaptations of ancient architecture at these five fairs demonstrated that ancient architecture can symbolize and transmit the complex-and often paradoxical or contradictory-ideas that defined the United States at the turn of the twentieth century and still endure today.
Looking After
''A beautiful, bracing gem of a book, quite unlike any other family memoir I’ve ever read'' Polly Morland, author of A FORTUNATE WOMAN''Beautifully written, erudite and important . . . Looking After is a love letter to an autistic brother and to family itself, and a reminder of the power of empathy to save lives'' Christie Watson, author of THE LANGUAGE OF KINDNESS''Held me captive to the very last page. Wise, compassionate and compellingly told'' Monica Ali, author of LOVE MARRIAGE''This life-spanning memoir is an affecting and affectionate tribute'' Bookseller, Editor''s ChoiceMeet Lionel, Caroline’s older brother. Born in the late 1940s, when little was known about autism, Lionel was considered a peculiarity. From the beginning, he was a silent child, oblivious to the people around him and intent only on playing with his toy trucks. By the time he turned four, doctors declared him ineducable and advised that he be institutionalised – a shockingly standard practise at the time.No one could have predicted that Lionel would go onto music college and find his place in the world. With the help of his mother – who refused to send him away – Lionel lived a life that was certainly unusual but never dull. He had perfect pitch, could multiply three-figure numbers in his head, or work out which day of the week you were born on, the instant you told him your birthday.But when Lionel’s mother dies, and shortly after he is diagnosed with cancer, his two sisters struggle to fill the void – to become Lionel’s caretaker and support him as they had promised their mother. Looking After is both a portrait of one autistic man''s remarkable life, and a heart-rending story of how one family learnt to care for each other, to deal with loss and to be by each other’s side at the very end.
Call Me Ishmaelle
Moby-Dick reimagined from the perspective of a cross-dressed female sailor''Brilliantly written... ambitious, brave, strange'' Philip Hoare''One of the most valuable writers in the world'' Deborah Levy1843. Ishmaelle is born in a small village on the stormy Kent coast where she grows up swimming with dolphins. After her parents and infant sister die, her brother, Joseph, leaves to find work as a sailor. Abandoned and desperate for a life at sea, Ishmaelle disguises herself as a cabin boy and travels to New York.Call Me Ishmaelle reimagines the epic battle between man and nature in Herman Melville’s Moby Dick from a female perspective. As the American Civil War breaks out in 1861, Ishmaelle boards the Nimrod, a whaling ship led by the obsessive Captain Seneca, a Black free man of heroic stature who is haunted by a tragic past. Here, she finds protectors in Polynesian harpooner, Kauri, and Taoist monk, Muzi, whose readings of the I-Ching guide their quest.Through the bloody male violence of whaling, and the unveiling of her feminine identity, Ishmaelle realises there is a mysterious bond between herself and the mythical white whale, Moby Dick. Xiaolu Guo has crafted a dramatically different, feminist narrative that stands alongside the original while offering a powerful exploration of nature, gender and human purpose.

Syracuse
Syracuse, on the eastern coast of Sicily, was one of the great cities of the ancient Mediterranean: a place of brute power, dazzling culture, and vivid myth. Here, tyrants waged wars and built vast palaces, Aeschylus staged tragedies, Plato hoped to create his ideal ‘philosopher king’, and the nymph Arethusa, transformed into water, lived on as a spring fringed with papyrus. Moving to the city after a bereavement, the poet Joachim Sartorius discovers a place of haunting and haunted beauty, where the layers of the past are always visible. At his side we wander with demigods and generals through the old town of Ortigia and meet the people of the present-day city: its artists and police officers, café owners and barbers, barons and refugees. Unravelling the threads of Sicilian history, Sartorius explores the city’s mingling of ancient and modern, Greek and Arab, medieval and baroque, creating a portrait of a city inseparably entwined with its past.
Searching for Normal
A Sunday Times Book of the Year'A welcome antidote to the dangerous cult of overdiagnosis and the commodification of normal distress' PHILIPPA PERRYHow can we reconsider the way in which we think about, treat and care for those in distres? ore and more people are being diagnosed with ADHD and autism. More and more people are being diagnosed with mental disorders. Young people are being medicalised for behaviours that might be explained as entirely normal in other parts of the world. Distress has been commodified over many decades by pharmaceutical companies, the media and the psychiatric establishment. So how can we know when distress is normal and when it is something that needs to be treate? n Searching for Normal, Sami Timimi explores the political and cultural context of these phenomena and presents a deeply humane approach that looks at the person as a whole – their family context, their culture, their personal resilience – and advocates for a reframing of how we think about and treat distress.
