London, 1911. Coronation fever. Suffragette unrest. A city crackling with tension. When a policeman is found brutally murdered on the streets of Kensington, blame falls on the three women seen fleeing the scene. Their sole witness? Stephen Pike: ex-borstal boy, under-butler extraordinaire and assistant to the most unconventional detective in London, Miss Decima Stockingham. Sharp-tongued, fearless and bored of behaving herself, she’s the only one able to see that this case is not what it seems. Aided by an invisible network of maids – their eyes and ears in every house in London – this unlikely duo must catch the killer before time runs out. But in a city dazzled by ceremony and divided by change, you never know what might be lurking in the shadows.

Did you know the potter’s wheel was invented before any other kind of wheel? And in the seventeenth century people believed eating clay was good for you? And that Royal Doulton started off as a sewage pipe company? And which famous potter said ‘To make pottery is an adventure’? All this and so much more is in Pottery Throwdown judge Keith Brymer Jones’s very personal journey through the history of ceramics. From Roman kilns in North London to urinals in Scotland, wine jars to ink pots, Keith enthrals and entertains us with his knowledge of pottery and potters, what they made and how they did it. He shows us how ceramics have played an important role in cultures and economies throughout the world – and how his own life is inextricably linked to an industry that demands the same of its makers today as it did thousands of years ago: creativity, patience, respect for the material, and a respect for nature itself.
‘First Born Daughter’ is for anyone who was born into the role of unpaid family manager or simply suffers from hyper independence as a trauma response. It’s part social commentary, part survival guide for daughters, and an exploration of the psychology and reality of what it means to be a woman, a wife and a daughter today.
Mexico City, 1988: Long before iTunes or MP3s, you said ‘I love you’ with a mixtape. Meche, awkward and fifteen, has two equally unhip friends – Sebastian and Daniela – and a whole lot of vinyl records to keep her company. When she discovers how to cast spells using music, the future looks brighter for the trio. The three friends will piece together their broken families, change their status as non-entities, and maybe even find love. In 2009, two decades after abandoning the metropolis, Meche returns for her estranged father’s funeral. It’s hard enough to cope with her family, but then she runs into Sebastian, reviving memories from her childhood she thought she buried a long time ago. What really happened back then? What precipitated the bitter falling out with her father? Is there any magic left?

‘There Is No Place For Us’ plunges readers into the lives of five Atlanta families struggling to remain housed. Through intimate, novelistic portraits, author Brian Goldstone follows parents and their kids as they go to sleep in cars, or in squalid extended-stay hotel rooms, and head out to their jobs and schools the next morning. Each family aspires to provide a decent life for their children, and each of them, one by one, joins the ranks of the nation’s working homeless. By turns heartbreaking and urgent, ‘There Is No Place for Us’ illuminates the true magnitude, causes and consequences of the new American homelessness, and provides hope in the form of these families’ love for each other and their resilience in the face of huge challenges.

It’s the summer of 1939. London is on the brink of catastrophic war, and everybody knows it. On a final night of abandon, Iris Hawkins, an ambitious young financial secretary (and ‘not an entirely good girl’), pursues a one-night stand. Some people, if you make the mistake of sleeping with them, leave you with a rash, or regrets. It seems that sleeping with young Geoff, a technical whizz at the BBC’s nascent television unit, leaves you pursued by a creature from another world. As Britain threatens to fall apart and the Nazi bombs descend, Iris finds herself stepping off the known world’s edge, into a reality where otherworldly powers lurk and act, where spirits can be called and enslaved, where time can be warped and rewound, and where a magical fascist is plotting her path back in time, gun in hand, in search of Churchill, to fire a shot that will end the war before it ever began. Naturally, only Iris can stop her.
