Atlantic Books Normal Women
Book SynopsisNew mother Dani has a lot going on. She's just moved back to her hometown, where her father was once known as the Garbage King; she's fed up of not being a manicure-sporting, perfectly coiffed Normal Woman; and most of all, she's worried that her seemingly healthy husband, Clark, will drop dead, leaving her and her new baby Lotte destitute. And then Dani discovers The Temple. Ostensibly a yoga center, The Temple and its guardian, Renata, are committed to helping people reach their full potential. And if that sometimes requires sex work, so be it. Finally, Dani has found something she could be good at, even great at - meaningful work that will protect her and Lotte from poverty, and provide true economic independence from Clark. But just as she's preparing to embrace this opportunity, Renata disappears, leaving Dani to step into another role entirely - detective. Darkly comic, sharply witty and fiercely smart, Normal Women asks how our societies truly value female labour - and what independence really means.Trade ReviewA darkly satirical novel about 21st-century motherhood and women's labour, full of waspish observations and the kind of caustic epithets that had me underlining chunks. Hogarth is very funny on motherhood's modern mores... She is especially hilarious on the balance of domestic - and sexual - labour within Dani and husband Clark's marriage * Guardian *A sardonic, high-speed novel about motherhood.... There is so much to enjoy and admire here... Acutely observed, hilarious * Irish Times *A delicious dark comedy * Stylist *New motherhood in all its mesh-implanting, incontinence-inducing horror and glory is both skewered and celebrated * Daily Mail *A dark take on suburban motherhood * Big Issue *Energetic... sometimes funny, sometimes heartbreaking and always fully engaging. Unforgettable work by Hogarth - don't miss it * Buzz Mag *This spiky second novel veers off into mystery territory... provocative takes on capitalism's intersection with domestic labour and "momfluencer" culture. * Observer *Like Dani, the women who fall for such schemes have too much time on their hands, an unsatisfied hunger for "more" - vaguely defined - and such a burning need to be special that they'll take as a guru anyone who pets their heads. Normal Women is particularly good at teasing out this manipulative strand. * Daily Telegraph *

Everyman Flashman, Flash for Freedom!, Flashman in the
Book SynopsisFor George MacDonald Fraser the bully Flashman was easily the most interesting character in Tom Brown's Schooldays, and imaginative speculation as to what might have happened to him after his expulsion from Rugby School for drunkenness ended in 12 volumes of memoirs in which Sir Harry Paget Flashman - self-confessed scoundrel, liar, cheat, thief, coward -'and, oh yes, a toady' - romps his way through decades of nineteenth-century history in a swashbuckling and often hilarious series of military and amorous adventures. In Flashman the youthful hero, armed with a commission in the 11th Dragoons, is shipped to India, woos and wins the beautiful Elspeth, and reluctantly takes part in the first Anglo-Afghan War, honing a remarkable talent for self-preservation.Flash for Freedom! finds him crewing on an African slave ship, hiding in a New Orleans whorehouse and fortuitously running into rising young American politician Abraham Lincoln...

Saraband Miss Blaine's Prefect & Golden Samovar
Book SynopsisNever underestimate a librarian. Intelligent cosy crime series with razor-sharp wit and an unlikely hero, for fans of P.G. Wodehouse and Muriel Spark "The crème de la crème of crime debuts.” Al Guthrie "Delightful." Guardian Fifty-something Shona McMonagle is a proud former pupil of the Marcia Blaine School for Girls, but has a deep loathing for The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie, which she thinks gives her alma mater a bad name. Impeccably educated and an accomplished martial artist, linguist and musician, Shona is thrilled when selected by Marcia Blaine herself to travel back in time for a one-week mission in 19th-century Russia: to pair up the beautiful, shy, orphaned heiress Lidia Ivanovna with Sasha, a handsome young man of unexplained origins — and all in a gorgeously Tolstoyan setting. But, despite all her accomplishments and good intentions, Shona might well have got the wrong end of the stick about her mission. As the body count rises, will she discover in time just who the real villain is?Trade Review“Marvellous… [a] laugh-out-loud farce… Readers will appreciate the skill with which Wojtas mirrors Spark’s style.” -- Publishers Weekly (starred review)“Wojtas’ debut is every bit as light-hearted, level-headed, inventive, hilarious, and altogether enchanting as its heroine, who richly deserves another jaunt through time and space.” -- Kirkus (starred review)“This is a delightful addition to the ranks of comic crime, mixing sharp observation with a lightness of touch.” -- Laura Wilson * Guardian *“I loved this book.

Book SynopsisJonas thought about what it would mean to cross a border in a place like this. He might have followed a trail laid down by others, but this time there would be no searchlights, no sirens, no soldiers in greatcoats. Philby had been disappointed by Moscow. Jonas suspected he would feel the same about Raqqa. Jonas is a spy with a problem. His quiet life spent writing reports for British intelligence is turned upside-down when his father is kidnapped by ISIS, and he soon finds himself dangerously out of his depth in Beirut, struggling to put into action the most audacious plan imaginable. As events hurtle towards a confrontation with the kidnappers, and the British government realises the full horror of what he is planning, Jonas is forced to decide how far he is willing to go to see his father again.Trade Review"Gritty and diamond-sharp, an irresistible and dazzling thriller for our time." -James Naughtie; "This important book...brought home the complex and shifting situation in the Middle East and the danger of looking for simple explanations. I loved Jonas - the quiet man pushed by his own guilt into becoming a hero."-Ann Cleaves; "Great characters, convincing detail and a compelling story. All too human MI6 desk jockey, Jonas, is no James Bond but he manages to stay one step ahead of his ex-employers, the CIA, Hezbollah, Isis and the reader right up until the final showdown in the desert."-Charlie Higson; "James Wolff clearly knows in detail the complex and murky world of Middle Eastern intrigue. An intelligent, exciting and wholly convincing novel". -Piers Paul Read, author of Alive and The Misogynist.; "Tautly-drawn tale of espionage in the badlands of Beirut. Wolff brings the thriller bang up to date as a rogue agent takes on Islamic State - as flawed a hero as Alec Leamas in The Spy Who Came in from the Cold."-David Loyn, author of Butcher and Bolt: Two Hundred Years of Foreign Engagement in Afghanistan. ;"A compelling story of our times, beautifully written and told with all the authority and authenticity of an insider familiar with the complex and dangerous terrain." -Peter Taylor, author of Talking to Terrorists. A Personal Journey from the IRA to Al Qaeda. ;"A gripping tale of plots and counterplots, of militias, spies, and priests; of love of family and loyalty to cause." -Emma Sky, author of The Unravelling: High Hopes and Missed Opportunities in Iraq.

Book SynopsisDark, mystifying and powerful forces are at work in these two superb J. D. Robb short stories.Ritual in DeathWhen a naked, knife-wielding man who thinks he has killed someone crashes a glamorous ball she''s attending, Lieutenant Eve Dallas is almost relieved. The clues point towards ritual murder, but Eve knows there is nothing supernatural about a deadly lust for power . . .Set between Salvation in Death and Promises in Death.Missing in DeathAboard the Staten Island ferry, a tourist sees something she shouldn''t have - soon no one can find her. But if she didn''t jump, and she''s not on board, where is she? Lieutenant Eve Dallas and her team know that all the answers lie in just what she was seen on that ferry . . .Set between Kindred in Death and Fantasy in Death.Trade ReviewWhether she writes as J.D. Robb or under her own name, I love Nora Roberts. She is a woman who just doesn't know how to tell a bad story * Stephen King *J.D. Robb's novels are can't miss pleasures * Harlan Coben *Anchored by terrific characters, sudden twists that spin the whole narrative on a dime, and a thrills-to-chills ratio that will raise hairs of even the most jaded reader, the J.D. Robb books are the epitome of great popular fiction * Dennis Lehane *Gut-searing emotional drama * David Baldacci *
