How does one of the greatest storytellers of our time write her own life? The long-awaited memoir from one of our most lauded and influential cultural figures'Every writer is at least two beings: the one who lives, and the one who writes. Though everything written must have passed through their minds, or mind, they are not the same.'Raised by ruggedly independent, scientifically minded parents - entomologist father, dietician mother - Atwood spent most of each year in the wild forest of northern Quebec. This childhood was unfettered and nomadic, sometimes isolated (on her eighth birthday: 'It sounds forlorn. It was forlorn. It gets more forlorn.'), but also thrilling and beautiful.From this unconventional start, Atwood unfolds the story of her life, linking seminal moments to the books that have shaped our literary landscape, from the cruel year that spawned Cat's Eye to divided 1980s Berlin where she began The Handmaid's Tale. In pages bursting with bohemian gatherings, her magical life with the wildly charismatic writer Graeme Gibson and major political turning points, we meet poets, bears, Hollywood actors and larger-than-life characters straight from the pages of an Atwood novel.As we travel with her along the course of her life, more and more is revealed about her writing, the connections between real life and art - and the workings of one of our greatest imaginations.

From psychotherapist and social media star Meg Josephson, a groundbreaking exploration of people-pleasing as an under-recognized but common trauma response, that also offers a compassionate and actionable path for healing. Are you... - Constantly worried about what people think of you, if they like you, if they're mad at you?- Anxious, a perfectionist, or an overachiever?- Always overextending yourself (and then resentful)?- Someone who avoids conflict at all costs?- Fearful of getting into trouble or being seen as "bad"?- Silencing your needs for the comfort and happiness of everyone else?- Prone to overexplain or over apologize?- Eternally obsessing over why someone texted with a period instead of an exclamation point?In Are You Mad at Me?, psychotherapist Meg Josephson explodes the idea that people-pleasing is a personality trait. Instead, she illuminates how it's actually a common trauma response (also known as "fawning"): an instinct often learned in childhood to become more appealing to a perceived threat in order to feel safe. Yet many people are stuck in this way of being for their whole lives. Meg weaves her own moving story, fascinating patient case studies, and thought-provoking exercises to show readers how to:- Identify all the roles you might play from peacekeeper to performer to caretaker to perfectionist to lone wolf to chameleon that keep you far from yourself. - Stop fearing your thoughts and emotions, even if they're unpleasant. - Rethink conflict and boundaries as an opening for deeper connection. - Practice "leaning back" in relationships.

With top-hat and cane in hand, Detective Inspector Stamford Hawksmoor shadows the murky backstreets of London on the hunt for a sadistic serial killer. In the dying days of the French occupation of Britain, through gaslit, cobbled streets and squalid alleyways, stalks the great eagle Detective Stamford Hawksmoor in search of the homicidal manic whose killing spree claims dozens of seemingly unconnected victims, from random murders to targeted political assassinations. The deeper he delves, the more he puts himself in mortal ??anger, pitting himself against unknown antagonists whilst under the scrutiny of the feared anti-terrorist squad, and the more he is forced to resort to working outside the law. The Casebook of Stamford Hawksmoor is an intriguing, labyrinthine stand-alone mystery set in a world of hansom cabs and pea-souper fogs, where explosive violence can erupt at any second - and does!

This is not a wine book - this is a book about making a good life, and the great bottles you might sip while you do so. For Tom Gilbey, the two are inseparable. Hailing from the first British family to own a vineyard and chateau in Burgundy in the 1800s, having a taste for wine is part of the Gilbey DNA. In this book, Tom takes you under the bonnet of a wine dealer, charting lessons from his three decades in the wine business and five decades on the planet. From how to detect if a batch of wine is "good shit", to maybe killing George Michael to falling in love and using wine knowledge as a courting method, Tom is here to level up your vino game with 100 wines and myriad anecdotes that will have you rolling on the floor. Along the way, you may also become a pro at ordering from any wine list, skipping wines that aren't worth the cost in the wine aisle and getting a great deal on the good stuff.

2014: A great poem is read aloud and never heard again. For generations, people speculate about its message, but no copy has yet been found. 2119: The lowlands of the UK have been submerged by rising seas. Those who survive are haunted by the richness of the world that has been lost. Tom Metcalfe, an academic at the University of the South Downs, part of Britain's remaining island archipelagos, pores over the archives of that distant era, captivated by the freedoms and possibilities of human life at its zenith. When he stumbles across a clue that may lead to the lost poem, a story is revealed of entangled loves and a crime that destroy his assumptions about people he thought he knew intimately well. What We Can Know is a masterpiece, a fictional tour de force that reclaims the present from our sense of looming catastrophe, and imagines a future world where all is not quite lost.

'It all happened long time ago, no one now remembers this storylet me tell you how it all happened, how once we turned unholy.'In Southernmost, Leo Boix takes us on a spellbinding voyage through time and imagination, from the Argentina of his birth - 'the end of the world, the antipode' - to a new life in England.Unearthing an old grief, the poet embarks on a glittering, encyclopaedic exploration of the Latin America he left behind: a journey through personal memory into a continent's past, haunted by the Europeans who once fixed their telescopes on its shores. Helping us 'see faces history can't reach', Southernmost reveals truths hidden in plain sight: the devastation of indigenous peoples and their lands; dissidents disappeared by the junta; a mother's concealed cancer diagnosis; the clarifying sexuality of a boy whose father can't bear to acknowledge it.Restlessly intelligent, tender in their evocation of gay intimacy, migration, and the natural world, this virtuosic net of sonnets captures a glimpse of our world's interconnecting threads.'And I realised I couldn't go on travelling - I had to stop my tour;that there was no El Dorado; their vast skies were also ours.Years later, in another country, I was also an interpreter who tried to render things from one world to another.When I finally wake up I'm always at a loss. Where am I?I'm back home, of course. Still, outside, the strangest sky.'
