'Hold her still!' she heard the magistrate command, and a hand, presumably that of the constable, pressed hard and flat between her shoulder blades, pinning her to the seat. The second blow fell with the full strength of his arm, catching her unawares across the crown of her bottom. Her legs shot outwards and buckled at the knees. 'And this, ' the magistrate continued with great satisfaction, 'is purely for the pleasure of beating you!' Olivia, a young and innocent vagabond in Mid-Victorian England, is condemned to imprisonment in a notoriously harsh institute of correction, where strict chastisement and cruel punishments are commonplace, and where the young virgin finds no relief from either the birch rod or the sexual deviance of staff and inmates. Upon release from the awful place the naive girl embarks on a journey that leads her into the sinister underworld of London, her virginity under constant threat, and despite her determination to remain pure she slowly discovers her own simmering desires and finds suppressing them increasingly challenging. But who, if anyone, will be the lucky person to take what has long been denied...?

The overlooked story of one of the last battles of the Second World War, which shaped the course of the Cold War. Perfect for readers of Max Hastings, James Holland and Stephen E. Ambrose. By the spring of 1945 the end of World War Two was in sight. Adolf Hitler committed suicide on 30th April leaving Admiral Dönitz in charge of what was left of the crumbling Nazi state while Allied troops were storming into Germany from East and West. Yet, Field-Marshal Montgomery and Winston Churchill knew that this was not the moment to take it easy and wait for the inevitable collapse of their enemy, instead they looked to the future and saw the growing threat of the increasingly powerful and aggressive USSR. In the last remaining days of conflict, Montgomery and the British Army fought their way towards the Baltic coast in order to halt the advancing Russians from moving westwards into North-West Europe. This campaign began brilliantly, but finally ended in failure. Why did Dwight D. Eisenhower, who had previously been such a firm friend of the British, give only limited support to Montgomery and Churchill's race to meet the Soviet advance? And how did this failure lay the groundworks for the Cold War that was to emerge in the aftermath of the Second World War? Charles Whiting's thoroughly researched Finale at Flensburg is an eye-opening account of the dying moments of World War Two. Through interviews with many of the prominent German, American and British actors, Whiting is able to reconstruct this oft-forgotten battle and its aftermath.

*Canary In a Covid World* is an Amazon #1 Best Seller across multiple categories-hailed as *the* essential read of the Covid era, offering unparalleled insights and perspectives that have captivated readers worldwide. The thirty four contributors, the Canaries, to this collection of essays are courageous people.They are critical thinkers who are prepared to put everything on the line to speak their truth. They strive to alert us all to what COVID was, and what may lie ahead. They are community leaders. They are novelists, journalists, lawyers, judges, scientists, doctors, academics, politicians, researchers, vaccine-injured and data experts. Some shouted from the rooftops from the very beginning of the pandemic, others found their voices as the contradictions in public policy and health policy became undeniable. What unites them is that they have given those looking for answers, factual evidence. They have alleviated fear and given us hope. The subject of COVID is often too sensitive to introduce into polite conversation. Battle lines are drawn and more often than not there's no amount of data, facts or opinion that will change perspectives. However, we believe that once people understand that their opinions have been formed based on information that has been heavily censored, they will be more inclined to entertain the possibility that all is not what it seems. The endeavour of this book is to bring thoughtful voices together to sing as one choir. The diversity of these voices that harmonise may allow others to hear the music. For once you see it, you can't unsee it.

One goes to Peter Waldor's poems as to deep wells of wisdom, to draw up the strength and beauty that we so urgently need. Understandings and Misunderstandings: in poem after poem, it is the reader, even more than the poet, who is confronted with these situations. What do we know about nature? About the people around us? About our loved ones? About the often troubling social circumstances we have inherited? Seemingly anecdotal, seemingly based on quotidian events, hewn from the vernacular, these poems gradually unfold into complex parables. Like Gerald Stern, Waldor's "mentor and master" in the wonderful poem "Pear Sharing," Waldor has learned a great lesson: "to talk to as many / strangers as one can." Listen. -Norman Finkelstein, author of TrackPeter Waldor's poems in Understandings and Misunderstandings invite us to linger within the brightness of the everyday, to celebrate the beauty of human relationships, and to consider the basis of our understanding of one another. Deft and dextrous lines that deliver prim-metered narratives hallmark these poems, as they interrogate the human condition, aiming toward a better way of being in the world, to learning how to be fully present, and to being dedicated to finding joy, reverie, and delight in the ordinary. Waldor invites us to cherish all of what we share with others, and to recognize the way in which we live is singular. "Permit yourself / to dream," he writes, and so we shall.-Carey Salerno, Executive Director, Alice James Books

The word that seems most appropriate to approach the poetry of Rowena Hill is nature, which designates that which we cannot name because it surpasses our understanding and is only represented by the beings and things that surround us. We are inseparable from it. It's in every particle of our bodies, and only the fact that we live inevitably as individuals prevents us from feeling that unity. The I stands in the way, but it can move aside in order to make possible an opening into the mystery of everything. This is a constant that makes Rowena Hill's voice an exception in the Venezuelan poetry tradition she belongs to, despite coming from far away. And thus, her poetry, so earthy, so carnal, so very rooted here and beyond, awaits the study it deserves to make it available to readers who need it. It could even happen that it changes their viewpoint, a worthwhile risk for those who are more inclined to the aesthetic than to lived experience, because it's a poetry permeated by the unknown energy that carries us like an invisible thread on which everything hangs, which we do not know, nor see, nor touch, but can glimpse. - Rafael Cadenas
