The Survivors - Caroline Mitchell

My grip on the steering wheel tightens, my knuckles turning white as I navigate each dangerous curve of the dark Irish road. The cliff edge looms ahead and my babyâ ™s cries suddenly pierces the silence, sharp and relentless. I reach back to her, taking my eye off the road for just a moment. There is a terrifying crash of tearing metal before everything goes black. Iâ ™m so looking forward to meeting Aunt Maura, my motherâ ™s twin sister who lives on the rugged west coast of Ireland. With my own mother dying so suddenly, and my sweet baby daughter arriving, I need family around me. But instead of arriving at Mauraâ ™s house safe and sound, I wake up in hospital, badly injured. Then I remember the crash. Where is my baby? Maura hands my little girl to me, and I hold her tight. I look closely at my babyâ ™s precious face and something has changed, but Maura reassures me I just need time to recover. Iâ ™m so grateful to Maura for looking after us, but am I losing my mind? Have I made a terrible mistake coming here? And every day, Iâ ™m remembering a little more about the night of the accident. I remember Mauraâ ™s face, even though my aunt swears she wasnâ ™t there. Why is Maura lying to me, whatâ ™s wrong with my baby? What really happened that night? Praise for Caroline Mitchell: â ˜The tension built up and up . . .

Drawn to the Garden - Caroline Quentin

The Sunday Times Bestseller Shortlisted for the Book of the Year - British Book Awards 2025 Find solace in your outdoor space in this delightful horticultural journey with actress Caroline Quentin, as she draws on her life-long passion for gardening.Through the pages of this gift book, Caroline shows how much joy she gets from spending time in her garden, whether it be grappling with the best way to grow plants and vegetables, or raising seeds in her potting shed. Though she now has a large following on her Instagram account, @CQGardens, her attitude to gardening is the same as it has always been – expertise helps but is not essential. Gardening should be fun and enjoyable, filled with the simple pleasures of planning, planting, harvesting and cooking. It is also a meditative and restorative pastime, and a great way to lift your spirits.Written in a warm and engaging way that reflects her personality, Caroline tells stories of growing chillies from seed in her greenhouse, berating the thieving blackbirds in her fruit cage, and swimming in her pond singing to dragon flies and flag irises. Over the years, she has come to realise that gardening, just like life, is a series of happy accidents, unplanned successes, and baffling and frustrating failures.Illustrated by Caroline herself, this gorgeous book mixes personal stories of her life and experiences in the garden, with practical tips, recipes for food and drink, and even the occasional favourite poem. As she likes to misquote Dorothy Parker: ‘Take to horticulture, it’s cheaper than a shrink’.

Anatomy Of The Spirit - Caroline Myssová

Anatomy of the Spirit is the first book to unify Eastern and Western spiritual healing into a programme for physical healing and personal power. In this breakthrough view of mind, body and spirit, Caroline Myss demonstrates that the seven stages through which everyone must pass in the search for consciousness and spiritual maturity are the same in all traditions and are also the same seven stages for healing.During her many years of research into the power centres of the body, Myss has uncovered strong evidence that each illness we develop corresponds to a very specific pattern of emotional and psychological stress and that certain beliefs and attitudes influence corresponding areas of the human body. For example, fears regarding financial stress affect the health of the lower back; emotional barriers to experiencing love undermine the health of the heart. A strong need to control others or your environment influences the health of the sexual area of your body. Caroline also discusses in depth why people do not heal and the reasons why we often find ourselves in difficult circumstances that never seem to change.

The Last Man Takes LSD - Daniel Zamora, Mitchell Dean

FoucaultÂ’s personal and political experimentation, its ambiguous legacy, and the rise of neoliberal politicsPart intellectual history, part critical theory, The Last Man Takes LSD challenges the way we think about both Michel Foucault and modern progressive politics. One fateful day in May 1975, Foucault dropped acid in the southern California desert. In letters reproduced here, he described it as among the most important events of his life, one which would lead him to completely rework his History of Sexuality. That trip helped redirect FoucaultÂ’s thought and contributed to a tectonic shift in the intellectual life of the era. He came to reinterpret the social movements of May Â’68 and reposition himself politically in France, embracing anti-totalitarian currents and becoming a critic of the welfare state.Mitchell Dean and Daniel Zamora examine the full historical context of the turn in FoucaultÂ’s thought, which included studies of the Iranian revolution and French socialist politics, through which he would come to appreciate the possibilities of autonomy offered by a new force on the French political scene that was neither of the left nor the right: neoliberalism.

Woven and weaving through the book is its presiding spirit: the bee. Sometimes the bee is Duffyâ ™s subject, sometimes it strays into the poem, or hovers at its edge. In the end, Duffyâ ™s point is clear: the bee symbolizes what we have left of grace in the world, and what is most precious and necessary for us to protect.

The Ephemerata - Carol Tyler

In the wake of losing her husband of four decades, estrangement from her daughter, and a string of other deaths, Carol Tyler descended into grief. Being an artist by vocation, she transformed her grief in the only way she could - through artistic expression. Exploring realms metaphorical, half-imagined, and all-too real, she processes her loss and distress through dissociations and hard work alike and combines the two into a magnum opus of aching art. Tyler explores not just her grief, but our grief, and the idea of grieving in a work that is both painfully intimate and philosophically rich. An artistic advancement nearly forty years into Tyler s comics-making career, The Ephemerata features Tyler s most breathtaking picture making ever - fine, dense brush lines complemented with occasional colour washes or highlights - and formally stunning cartooning. Combining art and text in multiple ways - in the traditional comics panel grid, as words-and-illustration, as organically flowing images surrounded by floating text - she depicts the inner monologue of a fallible human being grappling with questions of profound relevance. Tyler s memoirist skills also rise to the fore, excavating and colliding scenes from her history, delineating with sensitive intuition ways in which the inevitability of grief is built into our lives and our loves. To struggle in the face of loss is a universal experience. To turn it into this compassionate, deep and beautiful book takes a true artist.

Lady Caroline Lamb - Antonia Fraserová

The vivid and dramatic life of Lady Caroline Lamb, whose scandalous love affair with Lord Byron overshadowed her own creativity and desire to break free from society s constraints.From the outset, Caroline Lamb had a rebellious nature.

As the niece of Georgiana, Duchess of Devonshire, she was already well connected, and her courtly skills resulted in her marriage to the Hon. William Lamb (later Lord Melbourne) at the age on nineteen. For a few years they enjoyed a happy marriage, despite Lamb s siblings and mother-in-law detesting her and referring to her as the little beast . In 1812 Caroline embarked on a well-publicised affair with the poet Lord Byron - he was 24, she 26. Her phrase mad, bad and dangerous to know became his lasting epitaph. When he broke things off, Caroline made increasingly public attempts to reunite. Her obsession came to define much of her later life, as well as influencing her own writing - most notably the Gothic novel Glenarvon - and Byron s. Antonia Fraser s vividly compelling biography animates the life of a free spirit who was far more than mad, bad and dangerous to know.
