Commemorative Modernisms
This book provides the first sustained study of women's literary representations of death and the culture of war commemoration that underlies British and American literary modernism.
M.A.D.
At the height of the cold war M.A.D. stood for Mutually Assured Destruction. For 11-year-old John it meant Mum and Dad. M.A.D. is a family drama following the lives of a struggling market trader, his frustrated wife and their young boy John, as their whole world appears to be coming to an end. Set in 1984, in the aftermath of the terrifying post-apocalyptic TV drama Threads, and then nearly twenty years later, M.A.D. tenderly explores the gap between the lifestyles and aspirations of parents and son. Out of a world full of cold war paranoia, an emotional fall-out haunts this ordinary family, threatening to rip apart the love that once drew them together.

Surfacing
Kristin Ginelli is heavily pregnant with twins but that does not stop this former cop, now professor, from jumping in to investigate a murder on her university campus. A swim coach has been found drowned and her best friend, Alice Matthews, who is a campus policewoman, is suspected of his murder. Kristin is also alarmed by Alice's behavior, and she suspects some kind of trauma in Alice's earlier life is causing it. Through therapy and solid police work, the two friends persevere, trying to catch up with a widespread coverup of sexual abuse that is decades old. The campus is also cyber-attacked by white supremacists who object to a colleague's course on "whiteness." Kristin gives birth, Alice perseveres in therapy, and the search for the murderer and the cyber-criminal all collide. How much can these women handle? Plenty, it turns out.
