The Wonder
Ann Cleeves
Emma Donoghue
In the dark days of a Shetland winter, torrential rain triggers
a landslide that crosses the main Lerwick-Sumburgh road
and sweeps down to the sea. At the burial of his old friend
Magnus Tait, Jimmy Perez watches the flood of mud and
peaty water smash through a croft house in its path.
Everyone thinks the croft is uninhabited, but in the
wreckage he finds the body of a dark-haired woman
wearing a red silk dress. In his mind, she shares his
Mediterranean ancestry and soon he becomes obsessed
with tracing her identity. Then it emerges that she was
already dead before the landslide hit the house. Perez
knows he must find out who she was, and how she died.

The planet Bienvenido is in crisis. It's millions of light-years
from Commonwealth assistance, and humans are battling
the Fallers for control of their world. A mysterious figure
known as the Warrior Angel leads a desperate resistance.
She's helped by forbidden Commonwealth technology,
which gives her a crucial edge. But the government
obstructs the Angel's efforts at every turn, blinded by
prejudice and technophobia. As Fallers also prepare to
attack from the skies, she might need to incite rebellion to
fight this invasion. But the odds seem impossible. Then
astronaut Ry Evine uncovers one last hope. On a mission
against the enemy, his spacecraft damages an unidentified
vessel. This crash-lands on the planet carrying unexpected
cargo: a baby. This extraordinary Commonwealth child
possesses knowledge that could save them all. But if the
Fallers catch her, the people of Bienvenido will not survive.

Feeling his age, as his birthday rolls round once again,
Inspector Montalbano decides to cheer himself up by
dealing with a young driver's road rage in his own unique

receives an angry phone call from a supermarket boss;
there's been a robbery at his store and Montalbano's

An eleven-year-old girl stops eating, but remains
miraculously alive and well. A nurse, sent to investigate
whether she is a fraud, meets a journalist hungry for a
story. Set in the Irish Midlands in the 1850s, The Wonder
- inspired by numerous European and North American
cases of 'fasting girls' between the sixteenth century and
the twentieth - is a psychological thriller about a child's
murder threatening to happen in slow motion before our
eyes. Pitting all the seductions of fundamentalism against
sense and love, it is a searing examination of what
nourishes us, body and soul.

From the international bestselling author, Hans Olav
Lahlum, comes Chameleon People, the fourth murder
mystery in the K2 and Patricia series. 1972. On a cold
March morning the weekend peace is broken when a
frantic young cyclist rings on Inspector Kolbjørn 'K2'
Kristiansen's doorbell, desperate to speak to the
detective. Compelled to help, K2 lets the boy inside, only
to discover that he is being pursued by K2's colleagues in
the Oslo police. A bloody knife is quickly found in the
young man's pocket: a knife that matches the stab
wounds of a politician murdered just a few streets away.
The evidence seems clear-cut, and the arrest couldn't be
easier. But with the suspect's identity unknown, and the
boy refusing to speak, K2 finds himself far from closing
the case. And then there is the question that K2 can't get
out of his head: why would a guilty man travel directly to
a police detective from the scene of his own brutal crime?

House of Lords and Commons: Poems
Carol Ann Duffy
Ishion Hutchinson
The poems in Carol Ann Duffy's highly praised second
collection range from the dramatic monologues for which
she is noted, to love poems, which she writes, Robert Nye
remarked, 'as if she were the first to do so'.
Picador • PB • Poetry
In House of Lords and Commons, the revelatory and
vital new collection of poems from the winner of the 2013
Whiting Writers' Award in poetry, Ishion Hutchinson
returns to the difficult beauty of the Jamaican landscape
with remarkable lyric precision. Here, the poet holds his
world in full focus but at an astonishing angle: from the
violence of the seventeenth-century English Civil War as
refracted through a mythic sea wanderer, right down to the
dark interior of love. These poems arrange the
contemporary continuum of home and abroad into a
wonderment of cracked narrative sequences and
tumultuous personae. With ears tuned to the vernacular,
the collection vividly binds us to what is terrifying about
happiness, loss, and the lure of the sea. House of Lords
and Commons testifies to the particular courage it takes
to wade unsettled, uncertain, and unfettered in the wake of
our shared human experience.

Selected Later Poems
C. K. Williams
The territory of Reconnaissance is one where morals
threaten to become merely "what the light falls through,"
"suffering [seems] in fact for nothing," and maybe "all we
do is all we can do." In the face of this, Carl Phillips,
reconsidering and unravelling what we think we know,
maps out the contours of a world in revision, where truth
lies captured at one moment and at the next goes free,
transformed. These are poems of searing beauty, lit by
hope and shadowed by it, from a poet whose work
"reinstates the possibility of finding meaning in a world that
is forever ready to revoke the sources of meaning in our
lives" (Jonathan Farmer, Slate).

In The Way We Were, Maeve Haran shows that we don't
have to always do what's expected of us, no matter what
age we are. Love can be full of surprises. Rachel is a
promising A-level student - until she falls for sexy,
dangerous Marko; Mr Darcy with a nose stud. Her mother,
Catherine, is trying to be a good parent and work
colleague - but wishes the attentions of her attractive boss
didn't suddenly seem so alluring. Grandmother Lavinia is
certain of her values, protecting the country village she
loves from change - until the return of a long-lost love
reminds her that life moves on, for people as well as
places. Is it too late for Lavinia to embrace change and
find happiness? After all these years - and a lifetime
divided by convention - could they really throw other
people's expectations to the wind and be the way they
were?

C. K. Williams's long career has been a catalogue of
surprises, of inventions and reinventions, of honours. His
one constant is a remarkable degree of flexibility, a thrilling
ability to shape-shift that goes hand-in-hand with an
essential, enduring honesty. This rare, heady mix has
ensured that his verses have remained, from book to
book, as fresh and vibrant as they were when he first burst
onto the scene. Selected Later Poems - a generous
selection of the last two decades of Williams's poetry,
capped by a gathering of new work - is a testament to that
enduring vibrancy. Here are the passionate, searching,
clear-eyed explorations of empathy in The Vigil; here is
the candour and revelation of Repair; here is the agonising
morality of The Singing and Wait, and the unsparing
reflections on ageing of Writers Writing Dying; here are the
poignant prose vignettes of All at Once.

Everfair
Nisi Shawl
Everfair is a wonderful Neo-Victorian alternate history novel that explores the question of
what might have come of Belgium's disastrous colonisation of the Congo if the native
populations had learned about steam technology a bit earlier. Fabian Socialists from Great
Britian join forces with African-American missionaries to purchase land from the Belgian
Congo's "owner," King Leopold II. This land, named Everfair, is set aside as a safe haven,
an imaginary Utopia for native populations of the Congo as well as escaped slaves
returning from America and other places where African natives were being mistreated.
Everfair is not only a beautiful book but an educational and inspiring one that will give
readers new insight into an often ignored period of history.

My Turn: The Autobiography
A B de Villiers
Johan Cruyff
"AB has become the most valuable cricketer on the planet" - Adam Gilchrist. This is AB de
Villiers' story, in his own words. The story of the youngest of three talented, sports-mad
brothers, of a boy who excelled at tennis, rugby and cricket, of a youngster who made his
international debut at the age of twenty and was then selected in every single test played
by South Africa for the next eleven seasons, of a batsman who has started to redefine the
art, being ranked among the world's very best in test, ODI and T20. AB is a true sportsman
- quick to deflect praise, swift to praise opponents, eager to work hard, to embrace the
team's next challenge and to relish what he still regards as the huge privilege of
representing his country. This is the story of a modern sporting phenomenon.
Johan Cruyff is widely regarded as one of the greatest players in football history. My Turn
tells the story of Cruyff's life starting at Ajax, where he won eight national titles and three
European Cups before moving to Barcelona where he won La Liga in his first season, in
1973, and was named European Footballer of the Year. He won the Ballon d'Or three
times, and led the Dutch national team to the final of the 1974 World Cup, famously losing
to West Germany, and received the Golden Ball as the player of the tournament. While on
the field Cruyff was in total control, off the field his life was more turbulent with a
kidnapping attempt and bankruptcy. In March 2016 Cruyff died after a short battle with lung
cancer. My Turn is Johan Cruyff's legacy.

Revolution
Peter Ackroyd
The fourth volume of Peter Ackroyd's History of England series. Ackroyd takes readers
from William of Orange's accession following the Glorious Revolution to the Regency,
when England was - again - at war with France that ended with the defeat of Napoleon.
Late Stuart and Georgian England marked the creation of the great pillars of the English
state. The Bank of England and the stock exchange were founded, the Church of England
was established as the nation's guardian of spiritual life and parliament became the
nation's sovereign body. It was a time in which newspapers first flourished and the English
novel was born. It was also a time of unprecedented technological innovation, which saw
England utterly and irrevocably transformed into a country of steel and coal.

Killing the Rising Sun
Bill O'Reilly
Autumn 1944. World War II is nearly over in Europe but is escalating in the Pacific, where
American soldiers face an opponent who will go to any length to avoid defeat. The
Japanese army follows the samurai code of Bushido, stipulating that surrender is a form of
dishonor. Killing the Rising Sun takes readers to the bloody tropical-island battlefields of
Peleliu and Iwo Jima and to the embattled Philippines, where General Douglas MacArthur
has made a triumphant return and is plotting a full-scale invasion of Japan. Across the
globe in Los Alamos, New Mexico, Dr. J. Robert Oppenheimer and his team of scientists
are preparing to test the deadliest weapon known to mankind. In Washington, DC, FDR
dies in office and Harry Truman ascends to the presidency, only to face the most important
political decision in history: whether to use that weapon.

Waking the Spirit
Linda Porter
Andrew Schulman
Casting new light on the heirs of the doomed king, King Charles I, and his unpopular
Catholic queen, Henrietta Maria, acclaimed historian Linda Porter brings to life their
personalities, legacies, feuds and rivalries. As their calm and loving family life was
shattered by war, Elizabeth and Henry were used as pawns in the parliamentary campaign
against their father; Mary, the Princess Royal, was whisked away to the Netherlands as the
child bride of the Prince of Orange and Henriette Anne's redoubtable governess escaped
with the king's youngest child to France. When their 'dark and ugly' brother Charles
succeeded his father to the English throne after fourteen years, he promptly enacted a
vengeful punishment on those who had spurned his family, with his brother James firmly in
his shadow.
Andrew Schulman, a fifty-seven-year-old professional guitarist, had a close brush with
death on the night of July 16, 2009. Against the odds he survived: A medical miracle. Once
fully recovered, Andrew resolved to dedicate his life to bringing music to critically ill
patients at Mount Sinai-Beth Israel's ICU. Waking the Spirit sets out the astonishing story
of the people he's met along the way - both patients and doctors - and of the people he
has inspired in return. In his new work as a medical musician, Andrew has met with
experts in music, neuroscience, and medicine. In this book, he shares with readers an
overview of the cutting edge science and medical theories that illuminate this exciting field.

No Cunning Plan
Robert F. Worth
Tony Robinson
In 2011, a wave of revolution spread from Egypt to Yemen as protesters demanded an end
to tyranny, corruption, and economic decay. Five years later, their utopian aspirations have
taken on a darker cast. A Rage for Order is the first work of literary journalism to track the
tormented legacy of what was once called the Arab Spring. In the style of V. S. Naipaul
and Lawrence Wright, the distinguished New York Times correspondent Robert F. Worth
brings the history of the present to life through vivid stories and portraits. Combining
dramatic storytelling with an original analysis of the Arab world today, A Rage for Order
captures the psychic and actual civil wars raging throughout the Middle East, and explains
how the dream of an Arab renaissance gave way to a new age of discord.
Sir Tony Robinson is a much-loved actor, presenter and author with a stellar career
spanning over fifty years. Now, in his long-awaited autobiography, he reveals how the boy
from South Woodford went from child stardom, to comedy icon Baldrick, the loyal servant
and turnip aficionado in Blackadder. It wasn't all plain sailing though. Along the way he was
bullied by Steve Marriott, failed to impress Liza Minnelli and was pushed into a stinking
London dock by John Wayne. He also entertained us with Maid Marion and Her Merry Men
(which he wrote and starred in) and coped manfully when locked naked outside a Lincoln
theatre during the live comedy tour of Who Dares Wins. No Cunning Plan is a funny, selfdeprecating and always entertaining read.

Fields of Battle
Eat My Schwartz
Brian Curtis
Geoff Schwartz and Mitch Schwartz
In the wake of the bombing of Pearl Harbor, the 1942 Rose Bowl was moved from
Pasadena to Duke University out of fear of further Japanese attacks on the West Coast.
Shortly after this unforgettable game, many of the players and coaches entered the military
and went on to serve around the world in famous battlegrounds, from Iwo Jima and
Okinawa to Normandy and the Battle of the Bulge, where fate and destiny would bring
them back together on faraway battlefields, fighting on the same team. For fans of
Unbroken and Boys in the Boat, Fields of Battle sheds light on a little-known slice of
American history where WWII and football intersect.
Geoff and Mitchell Schwartz are the NFL's most improbable pair of star offensive linemen.
They started their football careers late; they didn't go to one of the big football schools; and
they're the first Jewish brothers in the league since 1923. In Eat My Schwartz, Geoff and
Mitch talk about the things that have made them the extraordinary people that they are:
their close-knit and supportive family, their Jewish faith and traditions, and, last but not
least, the food they love to eat, whether at home or on the road. Theirs is an inspiring story
not just for every football fan but for everybody wanting to figure out what it takes for
dreams to come true - and how to stay well-fed throughout the process.

on the ABC's hit show Shark Tank, Robert Herjavec is consistently selected the most
popular "shark" by viewers, who respond to his affable nature. In You Don't Have to Be a
Shark, Robert transcends pure sales technique and teaches the "non-businessperson"
what they need to know in order to sell themselves successfully. We are each our own
greatest asset, and in order to achieve our goals, we need to be able to communicate with
others, position ourselves and even look the part.

weapons. When they're worked to the bone, they seek shelter where they can find it, and

Hampton spends her days learning useless ancient languages and the art of being a lady...
all the while secretly studying the ins and outs of Hampton Industries, dreaming that one
day her father will take her seriously and she'll become the first woman to run the family's
expansive network of factories and businesses.

The Creepy Case Files of Margo Maloo
Drew Weing
In the first volume of this new middle-grade series, Drew Weing delivers a fresh and funny
take on the age-old battle between kids and closet-dwelling monsters. Charles just moved
to Echo City, and some of his new neighbours give him the creeps. They sneak into his
room, steal his toys, and occasionally, they try to eat him. The place is teeming with
monsters! Lucky for Charles, Echo City has Margo Maloo, monster mediator. No matter
who's causing trouble, Margo knows exactly what to do - the neighbourhood kids say
monsters are afraid of her. It's a good thing, because Echo City's trolls, ogres, and ghosts
all have one thing in common: they don't like Charles very much. Cartooning powerhouse
Drew Weing delivers a breakthrough graphic novel with this first volume of The Creepy
Case Files of Margo Maloo. A favourite within the indie comics scene, Weing is definitely
a talent worthy of greater recognition.

Coming to England
Rebecca Frankel
Floella Benjamin
In War Dogs, Rebecca Frankel offers a riveting mix of on-the-ground reporting her own
hands-on experiences in the military working dog world, and a look at the science of dogs'
special abilities - from their amazing noses and powerful jaws to their enormous sensitivity
to the emotions of their human companions. Her narrative gives us insight into the world of
dogs in combat and the touching aspect of the relationship between soldiers and their
dogs. Frankel explores the long, rich history of dogs in the US military, from the spirit-lifting
mascots of the Civil War to the dogs still leading patrols hunting for IEDs today. In this
special edition adapted specifically for a younger audience, Rebecca Frankel gives further
insight into her work as a journalist and how it led her to explore the world of dogs and their
handlers. With a compelling cast of humans and animals, this moving book is a must read
for all dog lovers.
A twentieth-anniversary edition of Floella Benjamin's classic memoir. Includes a new
foreword by the author and some additional historical information. Beautifully illustrated by
Michael Frith. Floella Benjamin was just a young girl when she, her sister and two brothers
arrived in England in 1960 to join their parents, whom they had not seen for fifteen months.
They had left the island paradise of Trinidad to make a new home in London - part of a
whole generation of West Indians who were encouraged to move to Britain and help
rebuild the country after the Second World War.

The Worst Children's Jobs in History
Sir Tony Robinson
The Worst Children's Jobs in History takes you back to the days when being a kid was
no excuse for getting out of hard labour. This book tells the stories of all the children whose
work fed the nation, kept trains running, and put clothes on everyone's backs, over the last
few hundred years of Britain's history. No longer will you have to listen to your parents,
grandparents, uncles, neighbours, and random old people in the co-op telling you how
much harder they had it in their day. Next time you find yourself in that situation, ask them
if they were a jigger-turner or a turnip-picker in their young day. No? An orderly boy,
perhaps? A stepper? Maybe they spent their weekends making matchboxes? Still no?
Then they have no idea about the real meaning of hard work.
