'The Women of Wild Hill has everything you could want, with a fascinating tapestry of characters and an interesting magic system’ Daily Express ‘Perfection! An Inspiration! A must-read!’ Reader review ? ‘The Women of Wild Hill certainly weaves its magic from the very first page. Such a powerful story of strong and determined women’ Reader review ? * * * * It’s always three, isn’t it? Three furies, three fates, three graces. Science still has no explanation for the number three, but women instinctively feel its power. We don’t know why three works, but we know it does. Three is the number that gets the job done. Five generations of Sadie Duncan’s descendants claimed the beautiful Wild Hill as their home, each generation of witches stronger than the last. Then, in the aftermath of a tragedy, the last of the Duncans, prophesised to be the most powerful of their kind, abandoned Wild Hill forever. Brigid moved to California and turned her gift into fame and fortune. Her sister Phoebe settled on a ranch in Texas, where women visit in secret for her tonics, and Phoebe’s daughter, Sybil, became a famous chef. Now Brigid, Phoebe, and Sibyl have been brought back to Wild Hill for one thing: The Old One, furious at the path mankind has taken, has chosen them to lead a magical revolution. But first, the Duncan women must confront their pasts, because only once they have each stepped into their power can they fulfil their destiny … Blending witchcraft, magic, and family legacy, The Women of Wild Hill is a modern-day novel about witches and sisterhood that will make everyone believe the power to change the world is in their hands. * * * * Praise for Kirsten Miller: ‘A roar of rage, a pacy page-turner, I loved it’ Marian Keyes ‘A story that’s as furious as it is tender. A look at where justice fits in a world that shows women so little mercy’ Emily Henry ‘Like nothing you’ve ever read before’ Red magazine

Even with its turbulence, loss, and near-calamity, Lionel’s journey takes us on a thrill ride and delivers a memoir for the ages—reminding us of the power of love to elevate our own lives and our world.Lionel Richie’s memoir includes three eight-page photo inserts.

An Aspects of History Best Book of the Year; An Engelsberg Ideas Best Book of the Year Shortlisted for the HWA Non-fiction Crown Award ‘A rigorous, myth-busting look at the city’s chaotic recovery in the wake of war and fascism’ FINANCIAL TIMES This is the first major history of wartime Naples to appear in the English language. It fills a glaring gap in the British and American historiography of the war and shares a hoard of new stories – some of them truly shocking – that have never yet been published in any language. When the Allies arrived in late 1943, Naples had already suffered a brutal German occupation and suffered reprisals from the city’s heroic resistance and uprisings. This did not save it from the merciless Allied bombing. The city was on its knees with widespread suffering and squalor. Criminal gangs prospered, as did typhus, starvation and soaring prices on the black market. Much of the female population was forced into part-time prostitution simply to obtain food. Then Vesuvius erupted. Lowe’s gripping and powerful book places Naples right at the heart of Italian history. What happened in this city was not a mere sideshow to bigger events taking place further north, it was central to the story of the country as a whole. Neapolitans resisted Fascism just as the Florentines, the Bolognese, and the Milanese did. They suffered just as northerners did, and they longed as much for constitutional rebirth. The heroism and sacrifice that took place in Naples were harbingers of what would later happen throughout Italy – as were the compromise and corruption of ideals that came after the Allies took control. Naples 1944 is original and humane history at its very best, and a book which shows that Neapolitan story is the Italian story.
