Lennox Judith: A Different World / B

A Different World

A breathtaking novel exploring the highs and lows of family life during the Second World War and beyond

Untitled Amy Appleton

When should my story begin? Not when I was born, a butcher's son, in a tiny cottage just like all the other tiny cottages in Oakham. Who'd have thought then that I'd ever have much of a story to tell? Perhaps it starts when people began to nudge each other and stare as I walked with my mother to market, or the first time someone whispered that we were cursed. But I didn't know then. No, I think my story begins on the day of the Oakham Fair, in the year of 1625. When I was ten years old and I found out what I was.Nat Davy is a dwarf. He is 10 years old, and all he wants is to be normal. After narrowly escaping being sold to the circus by his father, Nat is presented to Queen Henrietta Maria - in a pie. She's 15, trapped in a loveless marriage to King Charles I, and desperately homesick. Nat becomes a friend to the woman who'll become the power behind the throne and trigger the Civil War, but in the eyes of the world he's still a pet, a doll to be dressed up and shown off. Nat longs to ride and hunt like the other boys at court. The real boys. But he will never be accepted. Loosely based on a true story, this epic tale spans 20 years; during which the war begins, Nat and the queen go on the run, Nat saves the queen's life, falls in love with the most beautiful girl at court, kills a man, is left in exile. Told from his unique perspective as the smallest man in England, with the clever and engaging voice of a boy turned man yearning for acceptance, this story takes us on an unforgettable journey. He's England's smallest man, but his story is anything but small.

The Smallest Man

Almost Life

Seedbank

The North American debut of one of China's most celebrated authors, "Chi Zijian's beautifully realised novel offers a detailed portrait of a way of life hard to imagine today" (The Independent). At the end of the twentieth century, an intergenerational Indigenous family of the Evenki tribe living deep in the forested mountains of China's eastern edge encounters existential change. An elder spins the daily tales of community drama against the fray of Chinese, Japanese, and Russian nation-building and resource extraction. As our narrator's world is forced to the margins of empire and industrialization, her abiding and tender attention to her people's core relationships-human, animal, spiritual, environmental-becomes itself an act of resistance. In Bruce Humes's inspired translation, acclaimed author Chi Zijian gives us an unabashedly intimate account of how an entire culture can be pushed to the vanishing point over the course of one lifetime. Through distinctive pace and slowness, the book renders an Evenki experience of interdependence and reciprocity with the natural world, where wilderness is infused with domestic life and spiritual intervention. From reindeer herding and ice fishing, to Shamanic songs and rites, to tallies of marriages, births, and deaths, this nomadic clan contends with preserving traditions and legacy alongside the threat of progress and displacement. This essential addition to the Seedbank series shows real lives that don't conform to the march of modernization, speaking profoundly to real endangerment of Indigenous communities and knowledge across the world. "When I look again at the fawn that is nearer and nearer to us, it feels as if the pale-white crescent has fallen to the ground," our narrator concludes. "I'm crying, because I can no longer distinguish between heaven and earth."&nbsp;This epic, internationally recognized work humbly challenges us to see that all is shared and interconnected-joy and loss, creatures and peoples, the material and the magical.

A Novel

The Last Quarter of the Moon

In Heart, Be at Peace, which can be read independently, Donal picks up the twenty-one voices from The Spinning Heart ten years on, in 2019. Small-town Ireland is a different place, the economy having recovered from the economic crash that served as a backdrop to the events in that book. Now the work is back, the dramas have all seemingly died down, the dark days of recession and struggle are over. But a new menace is creeping around the lakeshore and the lanes of the town, old grudges are festering and new ones are rising, and the peace of the community is about to be shattered in an unimaginable way. Young people are being drawn towards the promise of fast money whilst the generation above them tries to push back the tide of an enemy none of them can touch.

Heart, Be at Peace
