'Joins the very front rank of memoirs of post-war Britain' DAVID KYNASTON'A winning blend of personal memories, evoked with startling clarity, and fascinating social history' CLARE CHAMBERSIn Red, Red Robin, Alison Light puts herself into history, conjuring her girlhood from the 1950s to the 1970s, growing up in an extended family in Portsmouth, a blitzed city with its collective memory of war. Drawing on the souvenirs of her childhood - from her doll's house to her infant and teenage diaries, her comics and schoolbooks - she uses her own story to tell a richly-textured social history of post-war England: its popular culture and music, its language and humour. Warm, witty and often moving, Light recalls the all-singing, all-dancing little girl who becomes a grammar-school snob; the street kid turned fashion-conscious teenager, searching for the ideal boy, navigating a rapidly modernising world and a family life equally transformed. Going to university, she asks: what does it mean to leave home - and do we ever truly leav? eautifully crafted and deeply pleasurable, Red, Red Robin is an exploration of the making of an English girl and of her sense of self. It asks whether we can retain a strong attachment to our place of origin - honouring our histories and beliefs - while resisting both nostalgia and disavowal. In this lyrical, analytical and politically astute memoir, one of our most compelling writers evokes a child's eye view of the past through the lens of her adult reflections, querying too how we document that past and the nature of memory itself.

'Sebestyen reminds us once again why he is one of the best historians writing today' ANDREW ROBERTS'As gripping as a novel . . . what canny insight this book offers into the insecurity of our own times' ANNE SEBBA'Could not be more timely' TIM BOUVERIE'All our politicians should read it' CLARE MULLEYIn the years after the First World War, Berlin was - as Vladimir Nabokov described it - a place 'of dangerous glamour and worldliness, of tawdry cynicism, where art and riot flourished side by side.'The Weimar Republic was Germany's postwar experiment with democracy, and a time of unprecedented cultural, intellectual and artistic freedom. Berlin was at the cutting edge of quantum physics and psychoanalysis; its nightlife showcased grand opera and dissolute cabaret. Bauhaus architecture and modernist painting flourished, and it rivalled Hollywood as a capital of film. But beneath the glamour was a deeply polarised society of extremes plagued by economic disasters, populist leaders fuelling culture wars, and an uneasy political settlement that would soon spawn the horrors of Nazism. Covering fifteen years from the end of the First World War to Hitler's appointment as Chancellor in 1933, Weimar Germany tells the definitive story of Germany's interwar republic and descent into fascism. Featuring an extraordinary cast of characters including Vladimir Nabokov, Albert Einstein, Marlene Dietrich, Adolf Hitler, Billy Wilder, Thomas Mann, Joseph Goebbels, Christopher Isherwood and Rosa Luxemburg, Weimar Germany is a gripping and evocative account of how the fledgling German democracy died.

'Required reading' CATHY NEWMAN'Inspiring and uplifting' VICTORIA DERBYSHIRE'A rallying cry and a beacon of hope' LUCIA OSBORNE-CROWLEYIf you and your family needed help, could you trust the law to be on your sid? arrister Charlotte Proudman has seen countless women let down by the very courts meant to protect them - dismissed, disbelieved and left unsafe, while their abusers are given the benefit of the doubt. Her own experience of misogyny within the profession reveals a deeper truth: a justice system designed by men, still tilted against women. In He Said, She Said, Proudman lays bare the prejudice at the heart of family law. Through cases of forced marriage, domestic abuse, child abduction and FGM, she exposes a culture of bias - and calls for urgent, lasting change.

Before Arin, Genevieve Yang was an only child. Living with her parents and grandmother in a single-room flat in Bedok, she is saddled with an unexpected sibling when Arin appears, the shameful legacy of a grandfather long believed to be dead. At once collaborators and sisters, Gen and Arin grow up inseparable, navigating the intensity of life in working-class Singapore - where urgent insistence on achievement demands self-immolation in the realms of imagination, work, and play. But as the rapidly modernising, winner-takes-all world threatens to leave one behind as the other's star rises exponentially, the sisters must weigh their allegiances and bonds, the cost of success and ultimately reckon with who they've become. What results is a story that cracks open the fault lines of Singaporean society, our desperate need for acceptance and our yearning to be loved. Vivid and visceral, The Original Daughter is a breathtaking act of empathy by a new literary star.

INCLUDED IN TIME'S 100 MUST READ BOOKS OF 2025The concluding volume of Peter Guralnick's critically acclaimed Elvis Presley biographies'Guralnick knows the intricacies of this story more than anyone, except perhaps the Colonel and Presley themselves' GUARDIANIn early 1955, Colonel Tom Parker discovered a teenage Elvis Presley and declared him destined for greatness.

The first volume of Peter Guralnick's critically acclaimed Elvis Presley biographies'Elvis steps from the pages. You can feel him breathe' BOB DYLAN'Wonderful' RODDY DOYLELast Train to Memphis is arguably the first serious biography that refuses to dwell on the myth of Elvis. Aiming instead to portray in vivid, dramatic terms the life and career of this outstanding artistic and cultural phenomenon, it draws together a plethora of documentary and interview material to create a superbly coherent and plausible narrative. This is the first of three volumes from music critic and author, Peter Guralnick, and covers Presley's stratospheric rise to stardom up to his departure for Germany in 1958. Last Train to Memphis is undoubtedly the benchmark by which other biographies of Elvis are judged. 'Soars above all other accounts of Elvis' GUARDIAN'A triumph of biographical art... profound and moving' NEW YORK TIMES

A New York Times Notable Book''It is impossible to read Autobiography of a Face without having your consciousness raised forever''Mirabella''Both book and life are unforgettable''New York TimesAt age nine, Lucy Grealy was diagnosed with a potentially terminal cancer. When she returned to school with a third of her jaw removed, she faced the cruel taunts of classmates. It took her twenty years of living with a distorted self-image and more than thirty years of reconstructive procedures before she could come to terms with her appearance. In this lyrical and strikingly candid memoir, Grealy tells her story of great suffering and remarkable strength without sentimentality and with considerable wit. She captures what it is like as a child and a young adult to be torn between two warring impulses: to feel that more than anything else we want to be loved for who we are, while wishing desperately and secretly to be perfect.

'Absorbing and exhilarating . . . This book will literally expand your horizons' MICHAEL PALIN'A panoptic, deeply researched and compelling history of our nation' PATRICK BARKHAMA fascinating, immersive history of Britain's footpaths and routeways from the Mesolithic era to the present day - from the acclaimed geographer and author of The Making of the British Landscape'A book to read and savour at home, and then stow in the backpack alongside thermos, sandwiches and an Ordnance Survey map' PETROC TRELAWNYWalking defines us as human beings. But how much do we know about the paths that we walk? Why do they matter? What caused so many to be lost? And can we create more of the? n The Path More Travelled, acclaimed geographer and travel writer Nicholas Crane explores the hidden history of Britain's coast-to-coast web, from prehistoric routeways walked by European migrants 12,000 years ago to pilgrim ways and coffin roads, turnpikes, towpaths and city pavements. We discover how land-grabbing Norman barons began the enclosure of our countryside, and how our beloved national parks and long-distance trails emerged from the ashes of two world wars. Along the way, Crane takes the reader on some of his most memorable walks: along the Hadrian's Wall Path, into the icy Cairngorms and to the banks of the Severn where he discovers footprints from over 7,000 years ago. The Path More Travelled is a passionate ode to walking - and a call to rediscover and protect the lifeblood of our landscapes. 'Wonderfully immersive and full of fascinating detail' FIONA ROBERTSON'Evocative, beautifully written and witty, it is also a passionate statement on the human freedom to roam' VANESSA TAYLOR
