Milady
From the glittering ballrooms of 17th Century England to the dangerous intrigues of the French court, Laura L. Sullivan brings an unlikely heroine to the page, turning on its head everything we’ve been told about The Three Musketeers and their ultimate rival. I’ve gone by many names, though you most likely know me as Milady de Winter: Villainess. Seductress. A secondary player in someone else’s tale. It’s finally time I tell my own story. The truth isn’t tidy or convenient, but it’s certainly more interesting. Before you cast judgment, let me start at the beginning, and you shall learn how an innocent girl from the countryside became the most feared woman in all of Europe. Because we all know history was written by men, and they so often get things wrong.
The Unhealed Wounds of My Father
Emile Maxi’s father, Ascencio, was born in Haiti in the 1920s. He was, as the author says, a man who wanted nothing more than to live up to his name by rising above the difficulty of a life filled with struggle and a dysfunctional childhood. A deeply flawed and complicated man, Ascencio was known for his hardworking nature and the good deeds he performed for his community. But at home, he was physically, verbally, and emotionally abusive, abuse that worsened dramatically after the sudden death of the author’s mother when the author was only five years old. His mother’s death and his father’s abusive behaviour left the author with lifelong scars of grief and intergenerational trauma. He has spent his life working to heal these wounds, leaning on faith, family, a desire to stop the cycle, and create a healthy, joyful future for his own children. Here, he shares his hard-won wisdom, offering readers a pathway to freedom from the struggles of grief and trauma. Powerful, poignant, and courageous, The Unhealed Wounds of My Father follows the author’s journey of healing and self-discovery, where the pain of the past is transformed into hope for the future.

The A303
'A nostalgic experience, informative, humorous, charming, but pervaded by the bitter-sweet scent of regret' Daily Mail The A303 is more than a road. It is a story. One of the essential routes of English motoring and the road of choice to the West Country for thousands of holidaymakers, the A303 recalls a time when the journey was an adventure and not simply about getting there. Tom Fort gives voice to the stories this road has to tell, from the bluestones of Stonehenge to Roman roads and drovers paths, to turnpike tollhouses, mad vicars, wicked Earls and solstice seekers, the history, geography and culture of this road tells a story of an English way of life. 'Fort has an eye for the quirky, the absurd, the pompous and a style that, like the road, is always on the move' Sunday Telegraph 'A lovely book...At last someone has celebrated the romance of the British road' Guardian
The Digested Read
Literary ombudsman John Crace never met an important book he didn't like to deconstruct. From Salman Rushdie to John Grisham, Crace retells the big books in just 500 bitingly satirical words, pointing his pen at the clunky plots, stylistic tics and pretensions of Big Ideas, as he turns publishers' golden dream books into dross.

Dragon Lords Rising
Moonbeam Children's Book Award double silver medalist A gnome, a girl and a dwarf fly north on an injured battledragon in the depth of winter to search for the missing Commander of the Stealth Dragon Services. Throw in a spy, an overweight dragon fledgling who's so plump he cannot fly, and a renegade Sorcerer Warlock hot on their tail, and it seems like a quest doomed to failure from the outset.
The Madwoman in the Attic
Called "a feminist classic" by Judith Shulevitz in the New York Times Book Review, this pathbreaking book of literary criticism is now reissued with a new introduction by Lisa Appignanesi that speaks to how The Madwoman in the Attic set the groundwork for subsequent generations of scholars writing about women writers, and why the book still feels fresh some four decades later. "Gilbert and Gubar have written a pivotal book, one of those after which we will never think the same again."--Carolyn G. Heilbrun, Washington Post Book World
