The American South. A turbulent world, fraught with the Civil Rights struggle and toxic religious tensions. Against the backdrop of mountainous sunsets and backwater shacks, deserted highways and small-town gas stations, people forge their own lives.We encounter murderers, escaped convicts, dysfunctional families, conmen, fanatics, farmhands, Bible salesmen, troubled children, gangsters, hypocrites, misfits and outcasts. These are characters marked by grotesque flaws, darkly humorous and oddly beautiful. Their complex humanity is revealed in apocalyptic moments of Gothic horror, absurdity and violence that transform all who witness them - and us, too, as we realise that nothing in our moral universe is black and white.Flannery OConnor is the supreme tragicomic chronicler of these bodies and souls, her classic stories infused with the dazzling force of prophecy as one of the centurys most visionary writers.

A taut, immersive chronicle of enduranceTime MagazineOne of the most compelling and unflinching books you will ever read Daily TelegraphOn October 7th, 2023, Hamas terrorists stormed Kibbutz Beeri, shattering the peaceful life Eli Sharabi had built with his British wife, Lianne, and their teenage daughters, Noiya and Yahel. Dragged barefoot out of his front door while his family watched in horror, Sharabi was plunged into the suffocating darkness of Gazas tunnels. In total he endured a gruelling 491 days in captivity - all the while holding onto the hope that he would one day be reunited with his loved ones.In the first memoir by a released Israeli hostage, and the fastest-selling book in Israels history, Sharabi offers a searing firsthand account of survival under unimaginable conditions - starvation, isolation, physical beatings, and psychological abuse at the hands of his captors.Eli Sharabis story is one of hunger and heartache, of physical pain, longing, loneliness and a helplessness that threatens to destroy the soul. But it is also a story of strength, of resilience, and of the human spirits refusal to surrender. It is about the camaraderie forged in captivity, the quiet power of faith, and one mans unrelenting decision to choose life, time and time again.Reminiscent of Elie Wiesels Night, Hostage is a profound witness to history, so that it shall be neither forgotten nor erased.

From a young age Carly Holmes has been in thrall to the creatures that live around us. Her childhood companion was a blind gander called Beep Beep who thought she was his wife. She nearly postponed her wedding when a pair of wrens nested in a hole by her back door and cut it very fine to fledge their chicks into an assorted audience of cats and magpies.This collection of essays, beautifully illustrated throughout, are each of them love letters to the Teifi valley and to the river that winds through Carlys days. The wild animals the badgers who visit nightly for peanuts; the juvenile osprey who learned to fish on the estuary across the lane; the young jackdaw she nurtured until it was healthy enough to ignore her whenever she went into the garden; the cuckoos she discovered in flagrante one afternoon on a lockdown walk are the very heart of it.Describing encounters and missed encounters with the wildlife that surrounds the Teifi, Love Letters on the River is a lyrical, honest and tender tribute to the many creatures both in the garden and beyond the garden wall that bring joy to Carlys life simply by existing. Includes a dozen black and white illustrations commissioned exclusively for this publication by acclaimed local artist Guy Manning.

From the bestselling author of Mayflies and Caledonian Road, a heart-enriching celebration of what makes us great: our friends.If we are lucky in our lives, our friendships will be rich and varied. They will be shared with those with two legs, with four legs, with whiskers or clean faces; they will come dressed in the simplicity of childhood or the professional attire of adult life; some will span decades, and some will be only fleeting. But the thing they will all have in common is that life is not only unimaginable - but unimagined - without them.In these gorgeous personal reflections, Andrew OHagan explores friendship through music and poetry, memory and history, illuminating the many ways and reasons that people come together, and how our lives are all the better because we do.Andrew OHagans novel Caledonian Road was a Sunday Times bestseller w/c 31/03/2024

Definitive and comprehensive, this is the actual story of Factory RecordsPeter SavilleIn 1978, a Factory for Sale sign gave Alan Erasmus and Tony Wilson a name for their fledgling Manchester club night. Though they couldn t have known it at the time, this was the launch of one of the most significant musical and cultural legacies of the late twentieth century. The clubs electrifying live scene soon translated to vinyl, and Factory Records went on to become the most innovative and celebrated record label of the next thirty years.Always breaking new musical ground, Factory introduced the listening public to bands such as Joy Division, whose Unknown Pleasures was the labels first album release, New Order, Durutti Column and Happy Mondays. Propelled onwards by the inspirational cultural entrepreneur, Tony Wilson, Factory always sought new ways to energise the popular consciousness, such as the infamous Hacienda nightclub, which enjoyed a chequered 15-year history after opening in 1982.Now fully revised and expanded with a new chapter, Shadowplayers is the most complete, authoritative and thoroughly researched account of how a group of provincial anarchists and entrepreneurs saw off bankers, journalists and gun-toting gangsters to create the most influential record label of modern times. Based on both archive and contemporary sources, the book tells the full story of Factory s heroic struggles, its complex web of inventive, idiosyncratic and tragic personalities, and ultimately, the acclaimed and much-loved music it produced.
