A SCOTTISH BOOK TRUST BOOK OF THE MONTH THE TIMES BOOK OF THE MONTH (HISTORICAL FICTION) A CHURCH HOUSE BOOKSHOP BOOK OF THE WEEK An astounding debut, both epic and intimate, about grief, trauma, revelation, and the hidden lives of women - by a major new talent 'Miraculously conjured ... Brilliantly done' THE TIMES , Book of the Month 'A beautiful book ... It warmed my heart' MAX PORTER 'Electrifying ... A pocket epic' GUARDIAN 'The best first novel I've read in years ... So full and so vivid; it is amazing' RODDY DOYLE 'A vibrant portrait of female courage' OBSERVER In the year of 1413, two women meet for the first time in the city of Norwich. Margery has left her fourteen children and husband behind to make her journey. Her visions of Christ - which have long alienated her from her family and neighbours, and incurred her husband's abuse - have placed her in danger with the men of the Church, who have begun to hound her as a heretic. Julian, an anchoress, has not left Norwich, nor the cell to which she has been confined, for twenty-three years. She has told no one of her own visions - and knows that time is running out for her to do so. The two women have stories to tell one another. Stories about girlhood, motherhood, sickness, loss, doubt and belief; revelations more the powerful than the world is ready to hear. Their meeting will change everything. Sensual, vivid and humane, For Thy Great Pain Have Mercy On My Little Pain cracks history open to reveal the lives of two extraordinary women. ____________________________________________________________________________ 'Magnificent, bold and compelling' ROSIE ANDREWS, author of the Sunday Times -bestselling The Leviathan 'A startling read ... Magic' JO BROWNING WROE, author of the Sunday Times -bestselling A Terrible Kindness 'Intimately observed, lyrically written and meticulously researched.

A 2022 BOOK OF THE YEAR FOR: Sunday Times * Irish Times * Spectator * Financial Times * Telegraph * Aspects of History 'The history book you need if you want to understand modern Russia' ANNE APPLEBAUM 'A magnificent, magisterial thousand year history of Russia . . . by one of the masters of Russian scholarship' SIMON SEBAG MONTEFIORE ' A great historian at the peak of his powers' WILLIAM DALRYMPLE '[An] excellent short study' MAX HASTINGS, SUNDAY TIMES ' If you really want to understand Putin's Russia today, anchored in its past of myths, then you simply have to read Figes's superb account ' ANTONY BEEVOR ' A lucid chronological journey that ably illustrates how narratives from the nation's past have been used to shape its autocratic present' OBSERVER 'A valuable, instructive overview' INDEPENDENT ------------------------- From the great storyteller of Russia, a spellbinding account of the stories that have shaped the country's past - and how they can inform its present. No other country has been so divided over its own past as Russia. None has changed its story so often. How the Russians came to tell their story, and to reinvent it as they went along, is a vital aspect of their history, their culture and beliefs. To understand what Russia's future holds - to grasp what Putin's regime means for Russia and the world - we need to unravel the ideas and meanings of that history. In The Story of Russia , Orlando Figes brings into sharp relief the vibrant characters that comprise Russia's rich history, and whose stories remain so important in making sense of the world's largest nation today - from the crowning of sixteen-year-old Ivan the Terrible in a candlelit cathedral, to Catherine the Great, riding out in a green uniform to arrest her husband at his palace, to the bitter last days of the Romanovs. Beautifully written and based on a lifetime of scholarship, The Story of Russia is a major and definitive work from the great storyteller of Russian history: sweeping, suspenseful, masterful. ------------------------- PRAISE FOR ORLANDO FIGES ' An outstanding historian and writer, he brings distant history so close that you could feel its heartbeat ' KARL OVE KNAUSGAARD 'Figes knows more about Russia than any other historian' MAX HASTINGS, SUNDAY TIMES 0

Libro: Lady MacBethad (978-1-5266-4724-5) de Schuler, Isabelle (Bloomsbury Publishing Inc ) Comprar Libros de Literatura .. Power. History. Love. Hate. Vengeance. She will be Queen. Whatever it takes... Daughter of an ousted king. Descendant of powerful druids. Destined to take her place in history. As a child, Gruoch's grandmother prophecies that she will one day be Queen of Alba and reclaim the lands of her Pictish kin. When, many years later, she is betrothed to Duncan, the heir-elect, the prophecy appears to come true. Determined to never to be as powerless as her parents, Gruoch leaves behind her home, her family and her friend MacBethad, and travels to the royal seat at Scone to seal her fate. But when a deadly turn of events forces Gruoch to flee Duncan and the capital, Gruoch finds herself at the mercy of an old enemy. Her hope of becoming Queen all but lost, Gruoch does what she must to survive, until she is given a choice: live a long, peaceful life but fall into obscurity, or seize her chance for vengeance and a path back to the throne. An unputdownable, sweeping historical epic, Lady MacBethad reimagines the life of Gruoch - the real life Scottish Queen who inspired one of Shakespeare's most famous characters.

Libro: Liliana's Invincible Summer (978-1-5266-4935-5) de Rivera Garza, Cristina (Bloomsbury Publishing Inc ) Comprar Libros de Otros .. A 2023 NATIONAL BOOK AWARD FINALIST A NEW YORK TIMES EDITOR'S CHOICE 'Meticulously written and deeply moving . . . A triumph' JACKIE KAY 'Absorbing and poetic' ECONOMIST 'Full of tenderness and beauty' MARIANA ENRIQUEZ From one of Mexico's greatest contemporary writers, an astonishing work of non-fiction that illuminates an epidemic of femicide in Mexico through the death of one woman. I seek justice, I finally said. I seek justice for my sister . . . Sometimes it takes twenty-nine years to say it out loud, to say it out loud on a phone call with a lawyer at the General Attorney's office: I seek justice. On the dawn of 16 July 1990, Liliana Rivera Garza, Cristina Rivera Garza's sister, was murdered by her ex-boyfriend and subsumed into Mexico's dark and relentless history of femicide. She was a twenty-year-old architecture student who had been trying for years to end her relationship with a high school boyfriend who insisted on not letting her go. A few weeks before the tragedy, Liliana made a definitive decision: at the height of her winter she had discovered that, as Albert Camus had said, there was an invincible summer in her. She would leave him behind. She would start a new life. She would do a master's degree and a doctorate; she would travel to London. But his decision was that she would not have a life without him. Returning to Mexico after decades of living in the United States, Cristina Rivera Garza collects and curates evidence - handwritten letters, police reports, school notebooks, voice recordings and architectural blueprints - to defy a pattern of increasingly normalised, gendered violence and understand the life lost. What she finds is Liliana: her sister's voice crossing time and, like that of so many disappeared and outraged women in Mexico, demanding justice. 0

Libro: Let Us Descend (978-1-5266-6676-5) de Ward, Jesmyn (Bloomsbury Publishing Inc ) Comprar Libros de Otros .. The astonishing new novel from two-time National Book Award-winner Jesmyn Ward ?Leaves you in awe of the human capacity to not only endure, but to ascend back to the light ... Spectacular' ANTHONY DOERR, author of All the Light We Cannot See ?A stunning achievement. Will grip you from the first word to the last' NATHAN HARRIS, author of The Sweetness of Water Let Us Descend is a reimagining of American slavery, as beautifully rendered as it is heart-wrenching. Searching, harrowing, replete with transcendent love, the novel is a journey from the rice fields of the Carolinas to the slave markets of New Orleans and into the fearsome heart of a Louisiana sugar plantation. Annis, sold south by the white enslaver who fathered her, is the reader's guide through this hellscape. As she struggles through the miles-long march, Annis turns inward, seeking comfort from memories of her mother and stories of her African warrior grandmother. Throughout, she opens herself to a world beyond this world, one teeming with spirits: of earth and water, of myth and history; spirits who nurture and give, and those who manipulate and take. While Ward leads readers through the descent, this, her fourth novel, is ultimately a story of rebirth and reclamation. From one of the most singularly brilliant and beloved writers of her generation, this miracle of a novel inscribes Black American grief and joy into the very land - the rich but unforgiving forests, swamps, and rivers of the American South. Let Us Descend is Jesmyn Ward's most magnificent novel yet, a masterwork for the ages. 0

The groundbreaking bestseller that redefines intelligence and success. Does IQ define our destiny? Daniel Goleman argues that our view of human intelligence is far too narrow, and that our emotions play major role in thought, decision making and individual success. Self-awareness, impulse control, persistence, motivation, empathy and social deftness are all qualities that mark people who excel: whose relationships flourish, who are stars in the workplace. With new insights into the brain architecture underlying emotion and rationality, Goleman shows precisely how emotional intelligence can be nurtured and strengthened in all of us. 0

On a hill overlooking Bell Village sits the Changoor farm, where Dalton and Marlee Changoor live in luxury unrecognisable to those who reside in the farm's shadow. Down below is the barrack, a ramshackle building of wood and tin, divided into rooms occupied by whole families. Among these families are the Saroops - Hans, Shweta, and their son, Krishna, who live hard lives of backbreaking work, grinding poverty and devotion to faith. When Dalton Changoor goes missing and Marlee's safety is compromised, farmhand Hans is lured by the promise of a handsome stipend to move to the farm as watchman. But as the mystery of Dalton's disappearance unfolds their lives become hellishly entwined, and the small community altered forever. Hungry Ghosts is a mesmerising novel about violence, religion, family and class, rooted in the wild and pastoral landscape of 1940s colonial central Trinidad. _____________________________ 0

So there's been some marketing confusion somewhere along the line.' When Mariel finds out that her band of Merry Men have kidnapped the wrong person, she's a whole new level of miffed. They were supposed to be bringing back the regional healer, Old Rosie, who, rumour has it, has been aiding the Sheriff of Nottingham. They were not supposed to kidnap her assistant, Clem - a chatty, freckled, curly-haired whirlwind of a teenage girl who is unnervingly cheerful about being knocked out with horrible-smelling herbs and bundled into the back of a wagon. As the granddaughter of Robin Hood and a newly blooded captain of the Merry Men, Mariel has a lot to prove, and this mission has gone instantly and massively pear-shaped . So begins a love story to rival that of Robin Hood and Maid Marian, and an adventure that will change the lives of the inhabitants of the Greenwood for good - not to mention the course of myth and history. 0

Libro: The Love Interest (978-1-5266-6758-8) de Comerford, Helen (Bloomsbury Publishing Inc ) Comprar Libros de Otros .. A swoony, speculative and entirely electric YA debut with a humorous and satirical take on the conventions of the superhero-verse. Fans of Michelle Quach's Not Here To Be Liked and the Marvel Universe, including Spider-Man and Ms Marvel, will love this! Seventeen-year-old Jenna Ray lives in the quiet coastal town of Nine Trees. Despite its picturesque nature, it is also the epicentre of the next prophecy. It is said that in the year 2024 a new Hero will emerge in Nine Trees - an event that is usually accompanied by a catastrophic disaster. When Blaze, the new Hero, does arrive, Jenna has the misfortune of being the first person he saves. And, in the eyes of the public, that means one thing: Jenna Ray has already been cast as the Love Interest. Nothing could be more repellent to Jenna than being a love interest, even if Blaze is cute. But her plans to defy the HPA (the Heroics and Power Authority) and turn down this new role are thwarted when she uncovers the truth about her mum, who she hasn't seen in ten years, and is faced with a life-changing proposition: become Blaze's love interest to get close to him and learn about the HPA's secret plans, and she can see her mum again. As Jenna takes the mantle of the next Love Interest, even if she is faking it, feelings for Blaze become real - she can't resist his charm, good looks and the genuine connection they've made. And to make things even more complicated, just as Jenna starts to embrace her new-found career, she discovers she might be more on the side of the superheroes than she ever imagined . 0

Libro: Young Queens (978-1-5266-1343-1) de Chang, Leah Redmond (Bloomsbury Publishing Inc ) Comprar Libros de Otros .. The boldly original, dramatic intertwined story of Catherine de' Medici, Elisabeth de Valois and Mary, Queen of Scots - three queens exercising power in a world dominated by men. 'Alluring, gripping, real: an astonishing insight into the lives of three queens' ALICE ROBERTS 'Takes us into the hearts and minds of three extraordinary women' AMANDA FOREMAN 'Conveys the vitality of the past as few books do. An enviable tour de force' SUZANNAH LIPSCOMB Sixteenth-century Europe: Renaissance masters paint the ceilings of Florentine churches, kings battle for control of the Continent, and the Reformation forever changes the religious organisation of society. Amidst it all, three young women come of age and into power in an era of empires and revolutions. Catherine de' Medici's story begins in a convent stormed by soldiers intent on seizing the key to power in Florence - Catherine herself, a girl barely 11 years old. It ends with her as the controversial queen mother of France, a woman both revered and reviled. Mary, Queen of Scots' story begins in Scotland and ends in England. A queen turned traitor, from the confines of her English prison she longs for the idyll of her childhood in France. Elisabeth de Valois' story begins in France, where she is born the beloved daughter of a king. It ends tragically in Spain as a cherished queen consort and mother - one who must make the ultimate sacrifice for her kingdom. Catherine, Mary and Elisabeth lived at the French court together for many years before scattering to different kingdoms. These years bound them to one another through blood and marriage, alliance and friendship, love and filial piety; bonds that were tested when the women were forced to part and take on new roles. To rule, they would learn, was to wage a constant war against the deeply entrenched misogyny of their time. A crown could exalt a young woman. Equally, it could destroy her. Drawing on new archival research, Young Queens masterfully weaves the personal stories of these three queens into one, revealing their hopes, dreams, desires and regrets in a time when even the most powerful women lived at the mercy of the state. 0
