In a league with no room for love, two players are about to change the game.Oliver Harris is football royalty in London. Ordinarily, the star of the Camden Roses is calm, cool, and collected, keeping his club relevant with his prowess in the midfield and mighty left foot. But this season, the threats abound: Theres Camdens management to contend withcomplete with a new, prickly Dutch coach, eager for better results and a mid-season injury, which sidelines him when his team needs him most. When a recruit is called up to fill in, Oliver fears hell be replaced. If he can mentor this younger talent, then they might just have a chance at winning, together.After a string of lacklustre performances in his native Spain, Leonardo Davis-Villanueva is looking for one last shot at the club he always dreamed of, where he once played in the youth academy. Oliver immediately finds confident, eager Leo irritating. He can barely go through the motions, let alone coach him, without outright hostility. When he comes to admire Leos skill and warms to his humor and energy, though, he begins to see Leo as a friend and then, to his mounting horror, as something more.Leo craves Olivers attention and partnership; Oliver cant afford to fall in love with his teammate. Hes always kept a tight lid on his sexuality in a league thats never had a player come out. As the season heats up, a lot more than football hangs in the balance. Can Oliver and Leo win when it counts most?

Dogs may be mans best friend, but every friendship is different. Prepare to meet Nicholas, a gregarious Airedale whose arrival in a moneyed Long Island home unleashes complete and total chaos throughout the neighbourhood. Verdun Belle, the lady of the title, is a silky-eared spaniel whose loyalty - and litter of puppies - rallies an entire American regiment fighting on the Western Front during the First World War. Then theres Egon, a large - very large - German Shepherd, accustomed to summering on the Cote dAzur, and to managing the diaries and daily activities of his human charges, whether they want him to or not.This charmingly illustrated collection of three delightful stories, rediscovered after decades out of print, shows our canine companions in all their guises: comic, heroic, companionable.

In an opulent villa near the English Channel lives a family. The father has a safe, a spanner, a candle and a maid called Rose. The son has a swing, a croquet set, a raincoat, a car. Some members of the family read crime novels to fall asleep (the father), some instead of sleeping (the son), and some to ease the loneliness of an unhappy marriage (the mother). Their equilibrium is shattered in the wake of a shocking incident and the twenty minutes of silence that follow. Darkly comedic and wonderfully strange, Twenty Minutes of Silence is a truly original take on the crime genre, inspired by a true story. Here Helene Bessette builds a world of intrigue, a world punctured by startling disruptions and unexpected shifts, and in doing so destroys and remakes the crime novel, creating a form wholly new.

What constituted a secret or a scandal in times gone by? This entertaining title in this new series gives an overview of the times and attitudes to secrets, and what was meant by a scandal.

Noble lords and ladies sampled the same pleasures and sometimes met the same ghastly fate as common criminals. Enemies of the state plotted and were plotted against, while a horrible fate awaited those found guilty of treason, hanged, drawn and quartered to the jeers of the mob. Assassins lurked in alleys, ghoulish body snatchers opened graves in the dead of night This highly illustrated guide includes places associated with the stories.

This new translation of the best stories by Ichiyo Higuchi showcases the pioneering authors profound sensitivity and lyrical eye. The crystalline beauty of falling snow is a painful reminder of lost innocence; three children growing up on the fringes of Tokyos red-light district enjoy a last summer of freedom before adulthood and its compromises overtake them; a discontented serving maid and a prodigal son find their transgressions can be mutually beneficial; and a mans passion for an indifferent teahouse courtesan becomes so consuming that he is willing to sacrifice everything to it - his job, his family, perhaps even his life. Rarely translated into English, but revered in Japan for the purity of her classical language and her status as the countrys first professional woman writer, Ichiyo Higuchi drew on her own short life in a poor Tokyo neighbourhood to inspire her work. With immense delicacy of phrase and feeling, and vivid evocations of the colourful festivals and salty street banter that mask unspoken yearning and disappointed hopes, she transmits both the beauty and the struggle of working-class womens lives in turn-of-the-century Japan. In her clear-eyed vision of the world, longing and memory may be the only solace.

When their mother is burned at the stake, Syistir and Ada have two options: run or die. For fans of The Ten Thousand Doors of January and Circe, this lyrical tale of magical realism rooted in Nordic folklore is written by a no.1 Sunday Times bestselling author. Young Sstirs world is small and seemingly quiet, but shrouded in secrets. Outside of the cottage where she lives with her beloved mother and adored older sister, lurks the constant danger of being discovered by the villagers for what she truly is: unwanted, dangerous, Huldra. When their mother is accused of being a witch and dragged to the stake, the sisters must run for their lives.Sstir finds herself alone in the Dark Forest that she later comes to know as Trollheim - a magical realm for mythical beings and a sanctuary for those with nowhere left to turn. Here she finds a kindred spirit in the rogue Troll Agagkantor who takes her in and encourages her to live life as her true self, to understand and use the powers she has been hiding away. However, Agagkantor carries secrets of his own and Sstir comes to realize that her loyalty might have been misplaced. In the end she has no other choice but to sacrifice everything in order to protect that which matters most - her home.

In 2019, it looked like the electoral map of Britain had been changed for ever, with once solidly Labour constituencies voting Conservative for the first time. An epochal realignment seemed to be in train that saw the Conservative electoral coalition become much more northern and working class and Labour depending more on middle-class voters in the south. Only a few years later, the realignment lies in ruins.The Red Wall has returned to Labour, and its clear 2019 was a blip. Tories are now jostling amongst themselves to be seen as the heirs to Thatcher. Its almost like the promise of change and levelling up was a fever dream as political parties and voters revert to type.What happened? And what can be done? The Conservatives made a big promise to Red Wall voters in 2019, speaking openly about first-time Conservative voters lending their support and promising that this trust wouldnt be forgotten. They swept the Red Wall with a promise of big economic change.In reality, that was quickly forgotten and the realignment was put in the too-difficult box, in favour of Thatcherite cosplaying that appealed to a tiny core of Tory members but didnt address the real problems the country faced. But the politics behind it cannot be ignored.This book will address what went wrong with the so-called realignment and what needs to be done to revive it.
