SUPERLEAD

As late summer steals in and the final pearls of barley are gleaned, a village comes under threat. A trio of outsiders – two men and a dangerously magnetic woman – arrives on the woodland borders and puts up a make-shift camp. That same night, the local manor house is set on fire. Over the course of seven days, Walter Thirsk sees his hamlet unmade: the harvest blackened by smoke and fear, the new arrivals cruelly punished, and his neighbours held captive on suspicion of witchcraft. But something even darker is at the heart of his story, and he will be the only man left to tell it... Told in Jim Crace’s hypnotic prose, Harvest evokes the tragedy of land pillaged and communities scattered, as England’s fields are irrevocably enclosed. Timeless yet singular, mythical yet deeply personal, this beautiful novel of one man and his unnamed village speaks for a way of life lost for ever. ‘An achievement worthy to stand alongside those of Crace’s great fictional influence, William Golding.’ Sunday Times

Churchill’s First War Con Coughlin

B Format

Over a century ago, a young cavalry lieutenant wrote a riveting account of what he saw during his first major campaign, a vicious war against tribal insurgents on the North-West Frontier. Winston Churchill’s The Story of the Malakand Field Force, published in 1898, made his reputation as a writer – and as a soldier. More than 120 years later it is still reading for military commanders on the ground, both British and American. Now, acclaimed author and foreign correspondent Con Coughlin tells the story of that campaign, combining colourful historical narrative, interviews with contemporary key players and the journalist’s eye for both a good story and deep analysis. Churchill’s First War is not only a dramatic and vivid piece of military history but affords us a rare insight into both the nineteenth-century ‘Great Game’ and the twenty-first century conflict that has now raged longer than the Second World War and taken more lives than the Falklands.

Born Cicely Fairfield in 1892, as a young woman - and a budding actress – Rebecca West changed her name to that of the feminist heroine in Ibsen’s play, Rosmersholm . West was a passionate suffragist, a socialist and fiercely intelligent and her long career as a writer began when she was barely out of her teens. As did her notorious affair with H.G. Wells, which resulted in a son, Anthony, whose relationship with his mother was, at best, stormy. Perhaps best remembered for her classic account of pre-war Yugoslavia, Black Lamb, Grey Falcon, West was a towering figure in the British literary landscape. Lorna Gibb’s vivid and insightful biography looks at the woman behind the reputation.

Without Wren Cath is completely on her own and totally outside her comfort zone. She’s got a surly room-mate with a charming, always-around boyfriend, a fiction-writing professor who thinks fan fiction is the end of the civilized world, a handsome classmate who only wants to talk about words...

Join award-winning horticulturist and landscape designer Myles Baldwin as he explores the coastal gardens of Australia, from the gentle landscape of Victoria’s Mornington Peninsula to the sheer cliffs of Sydney’s Dover Heights and beyond. On his journey Myles finds a diverse range of gardens, some created by professionals, others by enthusiastic amateurs, but all entirely suited to their location and conditions. Also included is an extensive plant companion - compiled by Myles based on his many years’ experience of working on the coast and his conversations with horticulturists - to guide you through the practicalities of gardening by the sea. Accompanied by Sue Stubbs’ stunning photography, Australian Coastal Gardens is essential reading for anyone who loves gardens and gardening.
