The Underground Railway
bondage and a shatteringly powerful meditation on history.
by Colson Whitehead
Cora is a slave on a cotton plantation in Georgia. All the slaves lead a hellish existence, but Cora has it worse than most; she is an outcast even among her fellow Africans and she is approaching womanhood, where it is clear even greater pain awaits. When Caesar, a slave recently arrived from Virginia, tells her about the Underground Railroad, they take the perilous decision to escape to the North. In Whitehead’s razor-sharp imagining of the antebellum South, the Underground Railroad has assumed a physical form: a dilapidated box car pulled along subterranean tracks by a steam locomotive, picking up fugitives wherever it can. Cora and Caesar’s first stop is South Carolina, in a city that initially seems like a haven. But its placid surface masks an infernal scheme designed for its unknowing black inhabitants. And even worse: Ridgeway, the relentless slave catcher sent to find Cora, is close on their heels. At each stop on her journey, Cora encounters a different world. The Underground Railroad is at once the story of one woman’s ferocious will to escape the horrors of

Betrayal
by Martina Cole
Betrayal by Sunday Times No.1 bestseller, Martina Cole, author of DANGEROUS LADY, THE TAKE, GET EVEN and many more, is a gripping novel about the bonds that make - or break - a family. The ‘undisputed queen of crime writing’ , Martina’s unique, powerful storytelling will appeal to fans of Karin Slaughter and Patricia Cornwell. Survival. It’s all down to who you trust. Aiden O’Hara has been head of the family since he was kid, and he’s going to keep it that way. Jade Dixon is the one who watches his back. Mother of his son. The one who makes him invincible. But Jade’s been in the game a lot longer than Aiden. She knows no one’s indestructible. And when you’re at the top, that’s when you’ve got to watch the hardest. Especially the ones closest to you.

At Vets4Pets Marlborough we offer great health care packages to help you manage the cost of regular checkups and preventative treatment. Vac4Life is a preventative plan following primary vaccinations, which includes annual booster vaccinations, an annual health check with your vet and an annual health check with a veterinary nurse. These regular visits give us the opportunity to monitor the general health of your pet and notice those often subtle changes, catching potentially life threatening conditions early, while they’re still treatable.

AUGUST GARDENING
F
or many gardeners the month of August begins the downhill slide into off season. Warm climate gardeners have a second chance, but some don’t have a second wind after summer’s heat. By all means, take some time to simply enjoy your garden and all the hard work you’ve put into it. But August weather is often milder than we expect and it’s a great time to perk things up in the garden, after July’s heat. Your garden is hardier than you think and there are plenty of gardening tasks for August that will keep your flower and vegetable gardens going longer, as well as opportunities to get a head start on next year’s garden plans.
Here’s some key jobs for August:
Seed a fall crop of peas and spinach and keep harvesting. There’s always something to make with zucchini. Pick herbs for fresh use and for drying. Harvesting will encourage them to send out fresh, new growth and keep them growing longer. Order spring bulbs for planting and forcing. Check that your mulch hasn’t decomposed and add more as needed. Spread a mid-season layer of compost or manure. Keep deadheading and harvesting. Leave some annual seeds to self-sow. Start saving seeds and taking cuttings. Remove any diseased foliage now, so it doesn’t get lost in the fall leaves. Cut back the foliage of early bloomers like Brunnera and

hardy geraniums, to revitalize the plants. Prune summer flowering shrubs as the flowers fade. Trim and feed handing baskets to prolong their beauty. Take pictures of your garden at peak. Take pictures of container combinations you’d like to repeat. Make sure the cold frame is ready to go. Begin dividing perennials. Start with the bearded iris. Pot up perennial divisions for spring plant swaps. Sink the pots into the ground this fall and they’ll be one less chore in the spring. (An empty spot in the vegetable garden is perfect for this. By the time you’re ready to plant vegetables next spring, it will be time to lift the pots.) Plant trees, shrubs and perennials now, so they can take root, and keep them well watered. Get your fall-blooming crocus and colchicum planted so they’ll bloom on time.
