Renoir - An Intimate Biography
'A magnificent success ... it will remain a point of reference for years to come' Sophie Renoir
The joy that permeates Renoir's paintings emerged from the heart of a deeply complex man. Even his close friends and family members were baffled by the contradictions that defined him. In Renoir: An Intimate Biography, Barbara Ehrlich White, the world's leading authority on the artist's life and work, brings a lifetime of research to bear - challenging misconceptions around Renoir's reputation to provide an unparalleled account of this great Impressionist artist, in both his own words and those of his friends.
Uniquely intimate, this biography is interspersed with over one thousand excerpts of letters by, to, and about Renoir - 452 of which come from previously unpublished letters. These firsthand accounts offer an extraordinary window into Renoir's world, bringing us into direct contact with Renoir not only as a groundbreaking artist but as a devoted friend and father, too.

the witch doesn't drown in this one

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

Hell's Heart
Hell''s Heart is a queer speculative fiction retelling of Melville''s classic story.Here, a small party go hunting for a giant space creature – and experience grand adventure, love and loss along the way.Earth is a ruin, and the scattered remnants of humanity scavenge what they can from the stars. This under the watchful auspices of a grab-bag of collectives, corporations, and churches. These are all that remains of what we once called society. Having long exhausted any conventional sources of energy, life in the solar system is now sustained by a volatile, hallucinogenic substance – this harvested from the brains of vast cetacean-like Leviathans that swim the atmospheric currents of Jupiter.Finding herself with no money and little to occupy her groundside, the narrator (“I”) takes a commission aboard the hunter-barque Pequod as it sets out in pursuit of these Leviathans. However, once aboard, she finds herself pulled inexorably into the orbit of the barque’s captain, a charismatic but fanatically driven woman who the narrator names only as ''A''. As the Pequod plunges ever deeper into the turbulent, monster-haunted atmosphere of the gas giant, the narrator begins to lose herself in the eerie world of Leviathan-hunting and the captain’s increasingly insistent delusions. The only thing that might keep her grounded is the bond she develops with Q, a woman from the wreck of Old Earth, whose skin is marked with holographic light and who remembers things others have lost.
Lando Norris

From a shy, gaming-obsessed teenager to Britain’s newest Formula One World Champion, Norris’ journey is anything but straightforward. Despite starting out as an early fan favourite at McLaren – funny, relatable and refreshingly vulnerable – questions persisted about whether he had the ruthlessness required to reach the sport’s summit. But now, after recently becoming the Winner of the Laureus World Breakthrough of the Year Award and gaining an F1 title win, it seems like the only way is up for Norris. Here, Formula One journalist Nate Saunders of ESPN — a leading global multiplatform sports brand — reveals that Norris’s story is ultimately one of perseverance and authenticity. The dramatic 2025 title fight, against teammate Oscar Piastri and the formidable Max Verstappen, pushed him harder than ever and went down to the last second, but in the pressure cooker of Abu Dhabi he proved his mettle. In a full-colour celebration featuring over 100 photographs, Nate Saunders traces Lando’s journey to win the title and offers insider access to how he rewrote the script for what a champion can look like. This is the race-by-race story of a young man who faced his fears, silenced the doubters and won the biggest prize in motorsport – his way.
