Love Forms
£9.99Trinidad, 1980: Dawn Bishop, aged 16, leaves her home and journeys across the sea to Venezuela. There, she gives birth to a baby girl, and leaves her with nuns to be given up for adoption. Dawn tries to carry on with her life – a move to England, a marriage, a career, two sons, a divorce – but through it all, she still thinks of the child she had in Venezuela, and of what might have been. Then, forty years later, a woman from an internet forum gets in touch. She says that she might be Dawn’s long-lost daughter, stirring up a complicated mix of feelings: could this be the person to give form to all the love and care a mother has left to give?

Homework
£11.99In this work, Geoff Dyer reflects on his childhood and what it means to come of age in England in the 60s and 70s, in a country shaped by the aftermath of the Second World War but accelerating towards change. He was born in Cheltenham in the late fifties, the only child of a dinner lady and a planning engineer. Raised in a working-class area, Geoff and his mates found much joy recreating battles with their beloved Tommy guns, kicking a beachball around until its untimely death, and collecting anything and everything they could find; football cards, conkers and Action Man figures. When Geoff passes his 11-plus exams he gets in to a Cheltenham Grammar School, a school which drastically changes the trajectory of his life.

I Want You to Be Happy
£14.99Chuck and Joey meet in a bar. He’s in his mid-thirties; she’s twelve years younger. He’s long-abandoned his ambition of being a novelist, and works as a copywriter at a big ad agency. ‘Lead copywriter,’ he corrects himself. Joey’s living paycheck to paycheck on her barista wages, and privately dreams of making it as a poet. They go back to Chuck’s luxury flat-a world away from Joey’s cramped house-share, the crumbs in her bed. Soon, Joey’s imagining a future between them and Chuck’s moving on from a major change in his recent past. Amazing, how meeting a new person can make you feel so new.

We Need to Tax Billionaires
£9.99While ordinary citizens pay around half of their income in tax, billionaires pay often close to zero income tax – because they earn almost all their income through companies. The solution is the 2% ‘Zucman tax’: a minimum tax on the ultra-rich themselves, advocated by economist and global expert on the taxation of wealth Gabriel Zucman. We need to tax billionaires, and this book shows us why now is the moment.

Ball of the Century
£25.00This is the story of cricket’s most famous delivery, and the explosive power of its legacy. England would go on to lose every Ashes series that decade; by the summer of 1999, they were rated as the worst team in the world. It was only as a new century dawned that a brighter era began to surface, with the struggles of one decade spawning the redemption of the next. In this ride through nineties Britain, Ashes cricket, leg spin bowling, and the rise of a legend, this title explores how a single moment really can shape history.
