The Book of Revelations
‘Utterly engrossing and timely’ INDIA KNIGHT‘A true act of bravery and sisterhood’ ELIZABETH DAY ‘Fascinating…truly valuable’ JULIA SAMUEL‘I gobbled this book up. It’s a gem’ HELEN BONHAM CARTERA fascinating blend of social history and first-person stories looking at women and their secrets - and what they tell us about our changing timesDo you want to know a secret? The average person is keeping thirteen secrets at any one time, five of which they’ve never shared with a soul. A secret can thrill one person and destroy another; and the deepest ones echo far down the generations.The Book of Revelations is a book about the secrets women keep: the ones they are forced into, the ones they hold through shame, and the ones they share. Told through a kaleidoscopic blend of first-person stories and memoir, from the ‘silent generation’ of women in the 1950s to the influencers of the 2020s, we witness long-buried family secrets aired at last and the repercussions which occur when women who have been forced to keep quiet find their voice. Finally, we are compelled to wonder whether women are once again in danger of being silenced by censure, caution and fear.‘A fascinating hybrid of memoir and social history... transforms the highly personal into something universal’ London Standard‘A time-travelling investigation... it has a depth charge and a sense of the now that is so timely and important’ Jeanette Winterson
Eat Bitter
A beautiful and fearless exploration of food and feelings with bite for fans of Crying in H Mart and Midnight Chicken.Touching, absorbing and unflinching shows you how to stomach life s shit, celebrate the ugly, and keep going' Angela HuiEat bitter is a Chinese proverb meaning endure hardship to taste sweetness. For Lydia Pang, it embodies the struggles of her Hakka ancestors, a persecuted Chinese ethnic group whose ingenuity shaped a food culture rooted in fermenting and foraging.Pang reimagines eating bitter as a philosophy to confront her own challenges: burning out, testing her marriage, navigating fertility struggles and caring for a parent. Through eight recipes, she shares food as memory and medicine: the silly egg noodles her father cooked when her sister was ill, the bone broth she boiled in New York while homesick and courgettes grown in rural Wales as a gesture of reconnection.

'You won't find anything like it. The Wandering Inn is a favourite' Matt Dinniman, Sunday Times bestselling author of Dungeon Crawler Carl
'No killing Goblins.'
So reads the sign outside of The Wandering Inn, a small building run by a young woman named Erin Solstice. She serves pasta with sausage, blue fruit juice, and dead acid flies on request. And she comes from another world. Ours.
It’s a bad day when Erin finds herself transported to a fantastical world and nearly gets eaten by a Dragon. She doesn’t belong in a place where monster attacks are a fact of life, and where Humans are one species among many. But she must adapt to her new life. Or die.
In a dangerous world where magic is real and people can level up and gain classes, Erin Solstice must battle somewhat evil Goblins, deadly Rock Crabs, and hungry [Necromancers]. She is no warrior, no mage. Erin Solstice runs an inn. She’s an [Innkeeper].
Thus starts the first volume of The Wandering Inn, an epic fantasy series filled with heart and fear, magic, dragons, and monsters, adventurers and chess players…and humans pulled from the real world into a wondrous and deadly land where the game is to survive and these new pieces could decide who’s the winner.

Plunder
The last weeks of World War II on the Western Front in Europe witnessed extraordinary scenes of heroism, horror, melodrama and pathos.In Plunder, Max Hastings presents a cast of fascinating people British, American and German, in a series of great events in which some distinguished themselves through wonderful deeds, others through the basest crimes.The book takes its title from Montgomery's 'Operation Plunder', the 23 March 1945 crossing of the Rhine, witnessed by Winston Churchill and embracing huge amphibious and airborne landings. The author describes the American coup in capturing Remagen bridge and the 'battles of the breakout' which followed. Thereafter he recounts stories of Nazi Werewolves; of US General George Patton's reckless and doomed dispatch of an armoured column fifty miles behind German lines to liberate his son-in-law from a prison camp; the heartbreaking liberation of Belsen concentration camp; the wonderful achievement of Ian Liddell of the Coldstream Guards, among the last VC winners of the war and surely one of the most deserving; the last big SAS operation of the war.Finally come accounts of the tortuous succession of German surrenders, and the weeks of Admiral Karl Donitz's posturing as the Third Reich's last Fuhrer.Plunder is the latest history from Max Hastings, and offers his signature narrative of conflict, blending personal experiences into the 'big picture', highlighting deeds and personalities that will be unfamiliar to many readers. He mingles accounts of the battles with stories of people - warlords, soldiers, slave labourers, prisoners, fugitives, victims - who played many and various roles in the last European act of history's most terrible war.

Children of the Third Reich
The Third Reich cast a long shadow, not least over those born in Germany at that time. Whether the children of Nazi perpetrators or Holocaust survivors, they all had to come to terms with their dark past, based on an inhuman racial ideology.Renate was born in 1941, the daughter of an unknown SS General and Nazi war criminal who fathered her as part of his racial duty to produce 'A Child for Hitler.' Joe was born in 1946 in a Displaced Persons camp for Holocaust survivors. Dan was born in Haifa in 1938 to German Jewish immigrant parents. Then it was Palestine, later Israel, and Dan was a proud Israeli, until he wasn't so sure any more. All three grew up surrounded by silence and secrets, because their parents wanted to protect them from the horrors of the dark Nazi past which had devastated their lives.Decades later the three met, each trying to come to terms with their legacies of silence, secrets and pain. In Children of the Third Reich, acclaimed historian Catrine Clay traces their stories from Germany to the United States and Israel, confronting their dark pasts in order to find ways to a better future.
