Mat Watson knows everything there is to know about cars. In his 25-year career as a motor journalist, he has driven and tested every vehicle under the sun, from engineering marvels such as the Bugatti Chiron and Ferrari F50, to the grand-touring stalwarts of highways and motorways the world over – Audis, Volvos, Fords, Fiats, Citroens, Mercedes and Teslas – to absolute crapheaps which should never have made it out of the factory gates. He has crawled into hundreds of boots, peered under thousands of bonnets, kicked tens of thousands of tyres, and has perfected a nose for what makes a beautiful, brilliant and, sometimes truly atrocious, car. In ‘Auto Biography’, his long-awaited first book, Mat presents his own 100% completely correct and highly opinionated guide to the world of cars.

Harper Lee remains a landmark figure in the American canon – thanks to Scout, Jem, Atticus, and the other indelible characters in her Pulitzer-winning debut, ‘To Kill a Mockingbird’, as well as for the darker, late-’50s version of small-town Alabama that emerged in ‘Go Set a Watchman’, her only other novel, published in 2015 after its rediscovery. ‘The Land of Sweet Forever’ combines Lee’s early short fiction and later nonfiction in a volume offering an unprecedented look at the development of her inimitable voice.

You know what’s worse than breaking up with your girlfriend? Being stuck with her prize-winning show cat. And you know what’s worse than that?

And now Coast Guard veterinarian Carl and his ex-girlfriend’s cat, Princess Donut, must try to survive the end of the world – or just get to the next level – in a video game-like, trap-filled, fantasy dungeon. A dungeon that’s actually the set of a reality TV show with countless viewers across the galaxy. So not only do they have to stay alive, but they also need to earn ratings based on their performance. Exploding goblins. Magical potions. Deadly, drug-dealing llamas. This ain’t your ordinary game show. Keeping viewers entertained is essential. Survival, however, is not.

Trump’s second term, even more than his first, is often called ‘unprecedented’. But history shows that Trump & his policies are as American as apple pie. Much of what Donald Trump does seems maverick & even mad. His actions & policy pronouncements are a stark rupture from the American style of leadership that we have lived with all our lives. But whether we like them or not, his trade tariffs, his determination to deport tens of thousands of people, & his apparent contempt for the rule of law are deeply rooted in American history. Since Donald Trump took office plenty of people – on both sides of the Atlantic – have argued that he will destroy his country’s democracy. ‘Made in America’ shows how the ideal of liberty has been tested in past generations, from the first intolerant Pilgrims to the brutal invasion of Mexico, revealing the dark side of the American Dream in order to offer urgent lessons to our present.

It was a black night in the year 1620 when Christenze Krukow made the wax child, when she melted down beeswax and set it in the image of a small human. For days, she carried it tucked beneath her arm, shaping it with the warmth of her flesh, giving it life. She fashioned for it eyes and ears that cannot open, and yet – it watches and listens. Based on an infamous seventeenth century Danish witch trial, ‘The Wax Child’ is a mesmerising, frightening vision of a time when witches and magic were as real to the human mind as soil and seawater.

1644, and Amber St Clare’s birth is her noble-born mother’s death. Raised in the countryside, in ignorance of her true origins, 16-year-old Amber’s beauty nevertheless attracts the eye of soldier Lord Bruce Carlton on his way to London to celebrate Charles II reclaiming his throne.

After many adventures, she is left abandoned, pregnant and penniless. But Amber is not defeated. Embarking on an extraordinary social odyssey, Amber survives multiple marriages and births, the Plague and the Great Fire, steadily rising from the gutter to the very top of London society – via the King’s bed – in the years of the Restoration – all the while plotting and pining for the one man she cannot have.
