Mass Mothering
A People 'Best Book of February'A haunting, indelible novel of collective grief, resistance, and the radical, life-affirming virtue of testimonyA. is an amateur translator. Adrift and burdened by debt following a medical trauma, her nights are spent on the dance floor. There, she encounters N. Among N.’s meagre possessions, A. comes across a book about an unnamed town of disappearing boys. The book, Field Notes, documents a community of mothers who assemble to mourn their missing sons. When a near-assault stuns A. out of her inertia, she takes off for the city where Field Notes was written in search of its author and the end of the story. But, A’s digging leads her instead to the traces of a murdered poet, and a legacy that will intersect unexpectedly and pivotally with her own life. Poignant and profoundly humane, Mass Mothering is a story of the mutuality of grief, the shattering force of a mother’s love, and the aftershocks of violence in a globalised era.

A Room Above a Shop
When two quiet men form a tentative connection neither knows where it might lead. M has inherited his family's ironmongery business and B is younger by eleven years and can see no future in the place where he has grown up, but when M offers him a job and lodgings, he accepts. As the two men work side by side in the shop, they also begin a life together in their one shared room above - the kind of life they never imagined possible and that risks everything if their public performance were to slip. Unfolding in South Wales against the backdrop of Section 28, the age of consent debate and the HIV and AIDS crisis, this is a tender and resonant love story, and a powerful debut.

Norway's War
In the early morning of 9 April 1940, a fleet of German battleships entered the Oslofjord. Norwegian artillery delayed them long enough for King Haakon VII and his cabinet to escape to England, but there was no stopping the Nazi Blitzkrieg. Norway stood on the cusp of a traumatic five-year occupation whose aftershocks would continue to trouble its national consciousness long after the defeated Germans departed in May 1945. Robert Ferguson tells the extraordinary – and relatively little-known – story of the occupation and its judicial aftermath. He focuses in particular on German attempts to use a Norwegian Nazi administration under Vidkun Quisling to impose a National Socialist revolution on the country, and on the many brave and ingenious ways in which the Norwegians resisted. Ferguson describes the occupation in all its aspects – from Nazi terror to non-violent resistance, from censorship to sabotage – via a series of heterogeneous but interlinked narratives. Key players in the occupation and its wider story – including the pitiless Reichskommissar Josef Terboven, the Norwegian crime writer-turned-SS-strongman Jonas Lie, the principled Lutheran bishop Eivind Berggrav and the enigmatic double agent Gunnar Waaler – are drawn in memorably vivid colours. A riveting account of the Second World War’s forgotten occupation, Norway’s War evokes in moving fashion the moral and physical courage of a people who, faced with the brutal tyranny of a totalitarian invader, refused to be cowed.

Flowers and Insects, Some Birds and a Pair of Spiders
Forty years after it was first published, Ted Hughes's Flowers and Insects, Some Birds and a Pair of Spiders is presented in a beautifully redesigned edition with a new introduction by the nature writer Tim Dee. The sixteen poems gathered here brim and bristle with the life Hughes generates from the absolute attention he commits to whatever it is he is looking at. His knack for finding a language to animate its subject, without a trace of sentiment or nostalgia, singles out Hughes as one of the truly great poet-interpreters of the natural world. This edition gives full justice to the subtlety of the original watercolour illustrations, produced by Hughes's long-term collaborator and friend, the American artist, Leonard Baskin.

When her father forced her to leave school, and cut off all her contact with the past and future, Mary Brodie’s whole life became the narrow compass of her family’s cold, comfortless house in a small Scottish town.

In the magnificent narrative tradition of The Citadel, The Stars Look Down and A. J. Cronin’s other classic novels, Hatter’s Castle is an impressive debut novel by a much-loved author and was adapted for the screen in 1942, starring Deborah Kerr (Black Narcissus).

imPerfect Magic
Winner of the PenCraft Literary Award, the Best Indie Book Award, the Audiobook Reviewer Award, and the American Legacy Book Award. After hundreds of years of dying, you’d think I’d be better at it by now…One moment, I’m a heretical priest in the twelfth century—hunted, hated, and on fire. Next, I’m waking up in the nearest corpse, stuck in an endless cycle of instant reincarnation, popping back up like a tarnished penny. Fast-forward eight hundred years, and you’d assume I’ve learnt something useful. Spoiler: I haven’t. Unless you count “how to die often and dramatically” as a transferable skill. Now, my territory in the South of France is under threat; I’m trapped by some impossible angel-forged runes, and the celestial choir seems to have swapped their halos for red lightsabres. If they’ve gone full dark side, reality itself might be next on the chopping block. I need to figure out who’s behind this—and fast. Because dying’s always been my thing... but you can’t reincarnate if there’s nothing left to come back to. imPerfect Magic is the first book in the best-selling imPerfect Cathar series, a darkly funny supernatural suspense packed with immortal heretics, divine disasters, and death with a punchline. If you can’t wisecrack while death is on the line? Well... maybe you're not dying right. Contains strong language, dark humour, and graphic violence. ___________________________________________________________________Praise for The imPerfect Cathar Series:? Humor, horror, and heroism, Perfectly blended together. ? Franky was entertaining as hell…? If this is CN Rowan's first book, then watch out literary world. ? An intriguing world that drew me in by the first page. ? Read it. If you like Shayne Silvers... you will like this. ? It's Jim Butcher's Dresden... after he's grown up some.

The Beasts of the Black Loch
In 50,000 acres of remote Scottish mountains and moor sits Dorcha Hall: a former hunting lodge nestling amongst ancient forests, on the shores of the enigmatic ‘Black Loch’. At night, lights glow from within, smoke curls from its chimneys, and in the forgiving murk of the gloaming, it looks magical. In daylight, its mouldering plasterwork and failing plumbing present a less romantic reality. Dr Ava Dickens has come to Dorcha to visit her godson, Alastair – a young man whose parents’ sudden death has taken him from a quiet life in academia to owning Loch Dorcha. He and his very new wife are convinced the only way to make the estate work is to run the Hall as a hotel. But Ava is a rigorous scientist, her specialty animal behaviour, and she is by no means certain that the evidence is indicative of a successful outcome. When one of the hotel guests is found dead in his bed, having gulped down poisonous insect repellant rather than the whisky sitting next to it, Ava’s knowledge of the female Culicoides impunctatus – aka the Highland midge – leads her to doubt that it was an accident. And worse is to come…
