No one gets to the heart of human relationships quite so perceptively as Brookfield The Mirror In the weeks that followed, Jane did her best not to think about anything very much. Usually, it worked. But every so often she would freeze, and tremble at the terrifying realisation that she wanted to leave her husband. While many regard her marriage with admiration and a touch of envy, Jane Lytton quietly reaches the shocking conclusion that her relationship with Michael, a successful banker with little time for her â “ or the nitty-gritty of family life â “ is failing. Even daring to contemplate leaving Michael is daunting. With no obvious outward signs of any marital problems, family and friends greet news of the predicament with a mixture of anger and uncomprehending sympathy. Forced to accept that she is alone, Jane takes drastic steps that veer her life off course. When at last her vision clears to reveal the best chance of happiness, it looks as if she may have left it too late. Being with the wrong man does not make finding the â ˜rightâ ™ one any easier.

The complete and definitive edition of poems from the greatest poet of WW1, Wilfred Owen2018 marks a hundred years since the end of the First World War. Owenâ ™s death in battle, a few days before the Armistice, was a disastrous loss to English letters and left a legacy of the finest poetry that vividly captured the unimaginable horrors of the Great War. This volume, edited by Oxford Professor Jon Stallworthy, gathers together the poems for which Owen is best known, and which represent his most important contribution to poetry in the twentieth century. â ˜The greatest of all the war poets.... it is Owen s intense respect for the soldier that makes his poetry so powerful. Those who did not return have their meticulously maintained stone memorials on the fields of Flanders. But their memorial in our minds is largely built by Wilfred Owenâ ™ Jeremy Paxman, Spectator

â ˜A tour of those far-flung places where Romans rarely dared to ventureâ ™ The Timesâ ˜A strikingly original take . . . uncovering forgotten stories of life on the peripheryâ ™ Spectator This is the book for expanding your ancient history horizon Tristan Hughes, host of The Ancients podcastWhat was it like to live on the edges of ancient empires, at the boundaries of the known world? When Ovid was exiled from Rome to a border town on the Black Sea, he despaired at his new bleak and barbarous surroundings. Like many Greeks and Romans, Ovid thought the outer reaches of his world was where civilisation ceased to exist. Our fascination with the Greek and Roman world, and the abundance of writing that we have from it, means that we usually explore the ancient world from this perspective too. Was Ovidâ ™s exile really as bad as he claimed? What was it truly like to live on the edges of these empires, on the boundaries of the known world?Thanks to archaeological excavations, we now know that the borders of the empires we consider the â ˜heartâ ™ of civilisation were in fact thriving, vibrant cultures â “ just not ones we might expect. This is where the boundaries of â ˜civilisedâ ™ and â ˜barbariansâ ™ began to dissipate; where the rules didn t always apply; where normally juxtaposed cultures intermarried; and where nomadic tribes built their own cities.Taking us along the sandy caravan routes of Morocco to the freezing winters of the northern Black Sea, from Co-Loa in the Red River valley of Vietnam to the rain-lashed forts south of Hadrianâ ™s Wall, Owen Rees explores the powerful empires and diverse peoples in Europe, Asia and Africa beyond the reaches of Greece and Rome. In doing so, he offers us a new, brilliantly rich lens with which to understand the ancient world.

Perfect for fans of Ruth Hogan, Jessie Burton and Diane Setterfield.Rebecca hasn #39;t seen her father Leo since she was six.

All she knows is that, once upon a time, he was a well-loved children #39;s TV star.But when a journalist turns up uninvited at her office, asking questions about her once-famous father, Rebecca starts to wonder whether there is more to Leo #39;s absence than she realized. Then, looking for answers, she unearths a book of fairy tales written by Leo and dedicated to her - but what use are children #39;s stories to her now, all these years later?Tentatively, Rebecca tries to piece together her father #39;s life, from the people he used to know and her own hazy memories. Yet her mind keeps returning to the magical, melancholic fairy tales, which seem to contain more truth than make-believe.

Yorkshire is a county of enormous contrasts. Outside its large urban centres, its villages represent a way of life that often feels unchanging. The villages are part of the landscape, whether remote upland, agricultural, coastal or even industrial, and the buildings in them reflect the local materials and the evolving working life of the villages. The National Parks of the North York Moors and the Yorkshire Dales are justly famous, as is the extensive North Sea coastline, but there is much more to Yorkshire than this, from the East Riding which historically grew rich on the wool trade, the Humber Estuary, the wealthy monastic houses of the Middle Ages, later stately homes, to the mining villages of South Yorkshire, the textile industry in West Yorkshire and remote Pennine settlements.In Yorkshire Villages, Dave Zdanowicz and Paul Zdanowicz take a fresh look at this beautiful county through its huge variety of villages. For those who live in Yorkshire and its many thousands of visitors, this book is a must. Look through these photographs and you will quickly see why this charming county has such enduring appeal.

â ˜The Welsh habit of revolt against the English is an old-standing madness â ¦ from the sayings of the prophet Merlin they still hope to recover their land. Hence, they frequently rebel â ¦ but because they do not know the appointed time, they are often deceived and their labour is in vain.â ™ (Vita Edwardi Secundi)The appointed time, it turned out, was 1485. For generations, the ancestors of Welshman Owen Tudor had fought Romans, Irish Picts, Vikings, Saxons, Mercians and Normans. His uncles had been executed in the Glyndwr Welsh War of Independence. Owen fought for Henry V in France and entered the service of Henryâ ™s queen, Catherine of Valois. Soon after the kingâ ™s death he secretly married her, the mother of the eight-month-old Henry VI. Owen and Catherine would have two boys together. Henry VI would go on to ennoble them as Edmund Earl of Richmond, and Jasper Earl of Pembroke, but upon Catherineâ ™s death Owen was imprisoned. Escaping twice, Owen was thrown into the beginnings of the Wars of the Roses with his two sons. It would be Edmundâ ™s son, Henry Tudor, who would take the English throne as Henry VII.When Jasper led the Lancastrian forces at Mortimerâ ™s Cross in 1461, the ageing Owen led a wing of the defeated army, was captured and executed. Without his earlier secret marriage for love, there would have been no Tudor dynasty.

This new, select edition of Wilfred Owen s letters provides a fresh understanding of the poet s life in his own words.Wilfred Owen s fame as one of the great war poets of the twentieth century is unsurpassed, with Dulce et Decorum est possibly the defining piece of World War literature.Owen s letters reveal the man behind the cultural icon; human with all his foibles, whose 25 years were marked by great highs and lows, by emerging modernity, and the violence of war. Evocative, lyrical, and often surprisingly funny, the letters act as both autobiography and companion to the famous war poems. He was both an accomplished poet and one of the finest letter-writers of the twentieth century.Accompanied by new notes and new introduction, as well as previously redacted and omitted material, the new edition of Owen s Selected Letters brings together past and contemporary scholarship to provide fresh insights into Owen s character and poetic development.

Winner of the Somerset Maugham Award 2006Ideas of separation and divorce are important in Owen Sheers eagerly-awaited new book: the geographical divides of borders, the separation of the dead and the living, the movement from childhood to adulthood, the ending of relationships.Such divides are both moments of mark-making and moments of absence. In this collection it is often the awareness of such separation â “ past or impending â “ and the juxtaposition of these diverse states â “ that provides the friction from which the poems are born.The book revolves around the two poems Y Gaer and The Hillfort , the titles themselves suggesting the linguistic divide in Wales, from poems concerned with childhood, a Welsh landscape and family, to a more outward looking vision both geographically and historically. Sheers is a vivid, sensuous writer.

Amanda s story underscores the lasting power of speaking your truth, building a movement, and never losing sight of your dreams Melinda French GatesA brave and imaginative memoir by the Nobel Peace Prize nominee Amanda Nguyen, detailing her healing journey and ground-breaking activism in the aftermath of her rape at Harvard.At a Harvard fraternity party in 2013, the trajectory of Amanda Nguyen s life was changed forever when she was raped.The American-born child of Vietnamese refugees, Nguyen had long dreamed of attending Harvard, and it had become a place of refuge from a childhood filled with turmoil and trauma. Determined to not let her rape derail the life she d worked so hard to create, she opted for her rape kit to be filed under Jane Doe, knowing that an active court case tied to her name could hurt her odds of working for NASA after graduation, a goal she d been working toward for years.But she was shocked to learn this choice meant she had only six months to take action before the state of Massachusetts destroyed her kit, rendering any future legal action impossible. Nguyen knew then that she had two options: surrender to a law that effectively silenced survivors of sexual assault, or fight for a change.A deeply affecting memoir of grief, survival, and hope, Saving Five details Nguyen s winding journey of recovery and action, which ultimately led her to create the Sexual Assault Survivors Bill of Rights, one of the only unanimously passed laws in the history of the United States. Both a tribute to resilience and a lesson on healing, Saving Five is an inspirational story for the ages.
