Homegoing Yaa Gyasi A profoundly moving story on the bonds of family and history - this is Beloved for the 21st century Effia and Esi: two sisters with two very different destinies. One sold into slavery; one a slave trader's wife. The consequences of their fate reverberate through the generations that follow. Taking us from the Gold Coast of Africa to the cotton-picking plantations of Mississippi; from the missionary schools of Ghana to the dive bars of Harlem, spanning three continents and seven generations, Yaa Gyasi has written a miraculous novel - the intimate, gripping story of a brilliantly vivid cast of characters and through their lives the very story of America itself. Epic in its canvas and intimate in its portraits, Homegoing is a searing and profound debut from a masterly new writer. Yaa Gyasi was born in Mampong, Ghana and raised in Huntsville, Alabama. She is a graduate of the Iowa Writers' Workshop. Her short stories have appeared in African American Review, Guernica and Callaloo. Homegoing is her first novel. NO

The Holocaust A New History Laurence Rees The prize-winning bestselling historian delivers the first authoritative general account for thirty years This book answers two fundamental questions about the Holocaust. How, and why, did it happen? Laurence Rees' masterpiece is revealing in three ways. First, it is based not only on the latest academic research, but also on 25 years of interviewing survivors and perpetrators, often at the sites of the events, many of whom have never had their words published before. Second, the book is not just about the Jews - the Nazis would have murdered many more non-Jews had they won the war - and not just about Germans. Third, as Rees shows, there was no single 'decision' to start the Holocaust - there was a series of escalations, most often when the Nazi leadership interacted with their grassroots supporters. Through a chronological narrative, featuring the latest historical research and compelling eyewitness testimony, this is the story of the worst crime in history. Laurence Rees is a former Head of BBC TV History programmes and Creative Director of BBC Television History, for whom he wrote, directed and produced several award-winning series on the Second World War. He wrote the companion books that included Auschwitz, which won History Book of the Year at the British Book Awards. He holds honorary doctorates from the University of Sheffield and the Open University.

Solidifying her standing as a preeminent observer and scholar of everyday life, Margaret Visser takes on the sweeping history of table manners, from the civilizations of ancient Greece and medieval Europe to the way that technology has altered, and continues to alter, our behaviour over dinner.

Gone A Girl, a Violin, a Life Unstrung Min Kym A literary sensation - the spellbinding, deeply moving story of a child prodigy and her soulmate All my life my Stradivarius had been waiting for me, as I had been waiting for her . . .' At 7 years old Min Kym was a prodigy, the youngest ever pupil at the Purcell School of Music. At 11 she won her first international prize. She worked with many violins, waiting for the day she would play 'the one'. At 21 she found it: a rare 1696 Stradivarius, perfectly suited to her build and temperament. Her career soared. She recorded the Brahms concerto and a world tour was planned. Then, in a train station cafĂŠ, her violin was stolen. In an instant her world collapsed. She descended into a terrifying limbo land, unable to play another note. This is Min's extraordinary story - of a young woman staring into the void, wondering who she was, who she had been. It is a story of isolation and dependence, of love, loss and betrayal, and the intense, almost human bond that a musician has with their instrument. Above all it's a story of hope through a journey back to music. South Korean born and raised in the UK, Min Kym began playing the violin at the age of 6. At 7 she was accepted as the youngest ever pupil at the Purcell School of Music; at 16 she was the youngest ever foundation scholar at the Royal College of Music. The legendary conductor George Solti said she had 'exceptional natural talent, mature musicality and mastery of the violin'. Her Sony recording of the Brahms Violin Concerto with Sir Andrew Davis and the Philharmonia Orchestra was released in 2010. She was the first ever recipient of the Heifetz Prize, and is a goodwill ambassador for the city of Seoul.

Passchendaele Ypres 1917 Nick Lloyd A gripping account of the climax of trench warfare on the Western Front - that uniquely tells the story from both sides Between July and November 1917, a few miles east of the Belgian town of Ypres, one of the worst battles of both world wars was fought: Passchendaele. It represents the modern impression of the First World War: splintered trees, water-filled craters and gunners crouching in muddy shell-holes. Over 500,000 men were killed or maimed, gassed or drowned - and many of the bodies were never found. However, as Nick Lloyd shows, notably through previously unexamined German documents, the Allies were nearer to victory than we imagine. Passchendaele offers a revisionist account of a battle that was epic in both its courage and its carnage. Nick Lloyd is Reader in Defence Studies at King's College London, based at the Joint Services Command & Staff College in Shrivenham, Wiltshire. He specializes in British military and imperial history in the era of the Great War and is the author of three books, Loos 1915 (2006), The Amritsar Massacre: The Untold Story of One Fateful Day (2011) and Hundred Days: The End of the Great War (2013).

The Old Man and The Sand Eel Will Millard The Old Man and The Sand Eel is a beautifully written memoir about fishing, family and the wilds of Great Britain Growing up on the Cambridgeshire Fens, Will Millard never felt more at home than when he was out with his granddad on the riverbank wiling away the day catching fish. As he grew older and his competitive urge to catch more and bigger fish led him away from that natural connection between him, his grandfather and the rivers of his home and into large commercial fisheries catching fish after fish. Until the fateful day he let a record breaking sand eel slip through his fingers and he knew that he had lost the magic of those days down by the river and that something had to change. Armed with his late grandfather's well-thumbed fishing encyclopaedia Will set out on a quest to get back to his roots and catch some our great forgotten fish species, hidden deep within the lost waterways that they still call home. The Old Man and The Sand Eel is at its heart the story of three generations of men trying to figure out what it is to be a man, a father and a fisherman. It plots Will's scaly steppingstones back to his childhood innocence and late granddad, a return to the importance of understanding the truly feral through a child's eyes, when anything was possible and the wild was everywhere. Will Millard is a British writer, jungle explorer and BBC presenter. He spent his twenties crisscrossing the forests of remotest West Papua in search of ancient tribal trade routes before his solo descent of a West African river, and subsequent survival from cerebral malaria, was made into an acclaimed series for BBC Radio 4.

He writes regularly for Geographical, Outdoor Fitness, the Daily Telegraph and Vice magazine, and has taken his enthusiasm for adventure and the planet's most isolated peoples to audiences across the UK.

The recipes range from hearty dishes such as braised Iberian pork ribs and chorizo and potato stew, to lighter fare such as seafood skewers, clams in salsa verde and stuffed piquillo peppers, and a wealth of other recipes, from grilled hispi cabbage to baked cauliflower with salted almonds, chilli and shallots. Nieves Barragรกn Mohacho grew up in the Basque region of Spain, in the capital city of Bilbao. Cooking with her mother from a young age, Nieves quickly understood there was an abundance of excellent local ingredients that surrounded her and a strong tradition of local cooking. Nieves joined Sam & Eddie Hart and the team at Fino two months before the restaurant was due to open in early 2003. When Barrafina opened in 2008, Nieves was made Executive Head Chef. Barrafina now has three branches in London, and in 2014 was awarded a Michelin Star.

Out of the Ashes How The Second World War Changed the World Keith Lowe You have to understand that a world is dying', observed an American war reporter in 1940; 'old values, the old prejudices, and the old bases of power and prestige are going The Second World War was one of the most catastrophic events in human history. As armed forces swept from one end of the globe to the other, consuming whole economies, sacrificing civilians as readily as soldiers, even those that were caught up in the violence could see that something fundamental was being destroyed. The new order, as it emerged after 1945, saw the end of European empires and the birth of two new superpowers, whose wrangling would split Germany, divide the continent, and lead to a new, global Cold War. As devastated landscapes rose out of the ashes, they did so in ways that surprised, delighted and appalled the pre-war generations. Cities changed their names, economies changed their currencies, people changed their nationalities. Children who had been born in Czechoslovakia before the war, and grown up in Hungary during it, now found themselves living in post-war Ukraine - all without moving from their home town. There were new factories, new manufacturing techniques, new technologies - many of them a result of military research. It was because of the war that computers were first developed and microwave ovens, and superglue. Out of the Ashes tells the story of how ordinary people coped with the post-war world, how they dreamed and worked to make a better life for their children, and how their generation turned one of the greatest catastrophes in history into an opportunity for change.

In Writing Adam Phillips A thrilling sequence of essays on writers and writing from one of the great minds of our times For Adam Phillips - as for Freud and many of his followers poetry and poets have always held an essential place, as both precursors and unofficial collaborators in the psychoanalytic project. But the same has never held true in reverse. What, Phillips wonders, at the start of this deeply engaging book, has psychoanalysis meant for writers? And what can writing do for psychoanalysis? Phillips explores these questions through an exhilarating series of encounters with - and vivid readings of - writers he has loved, from Byron and Barthes to Shakespeare and Sebald. And in the process he demonstrates, through his own unique style, how literature and psychoanalysis can speak to and of each other. Adam Phillips was born in Cardiff in 1954. He is the author of numerous works of psychotherapy and literary criticism, including Winnicott, On Kissing, Tickling, and Being Bored, Going Sane, Side Effects, On Kindness, co-written with Barbara Taylor, On Balance, Missing Out, One Way and Another and Becoming Freud. Adam Phillips is a practising psychoanalyst and a visiting professor in the English department at the University of York. He writes regularly for the London Review of Books, the Observer and the New York Times, and he is General Editor of the Penguin Modern Classics Freud translations. His most recent book is Unforbidden Pleasures.
