Dogs and Their Humans

Stories of Healing and Hope from the Supervet's Surgery

Summer 2014. Crimea has been seized; death and destruction are running wild in eastern Ukraine. Michael Pugh has heard the rumble of dragons awakening, and despite the splendor of life as an expat lawyer in Moscow, decides it is time to go. With a love of Russia dating back to his student days, Michael chooses to leave the slow way: by horse.Riding west through a bucolic Russian landscape of wildflower meadows to monasteries and historic battle sites is like riding back in time. Soon, Dog Friday joins Michael and they ride deeper into a vast wilderness, dotted with forgotten aristocratic estates meeting fascinating characters along the way.There's a change of pace in Belarus when Michael swaps his Kabardin steed Parliament for Marlboro, a stallion with a nose for adventure. Fire, dancing and song envelop him at the midsummer festival of Kupala. Riding on, he explores the vanished lives of the Poles and the Jews. Despite dark warnings about Ukraine, Michael finds a welcoming people, fiercely proud to defend their beautiful country from Russia. Finally, he navigates the complex legacy of Austria-Hungary in Romania. Throughout, his journey is lifted by the antics of horses, guides and stable girls; by the kindness of the strangers and friends and by the great quantities of delicious food and fiery moonshine.

INSTANT USA TODAY BESTSELLER! A "traditional wife" influencer allows a demonic creature to impregnate her in this unnerving horror novel, perfect for fans of Nightbitch and Mary, from the author of Serial Killer Support Group. Every #tradwife needs a baby. She’ll get one at any cost. When Camille Deming isn’t cooking, cleaning, or homesteading in her picture-perfect country farmhouse, she’s posting about her tradwife lifestyle for her online followers. She takes inspiration from other tradwives on social media, aspiring to be like them, but Camille’s missing a key component: a baby. And contrary to what she posts online, things with her husband, Graham, have been strained. Pressured by her eager followers, Camille fears that without a baby, her relationship will suffer and her social media will never grow out of its infancy. When Camille discovers a mysterious, decrepit well in the wheatfield behind her house, she makes a wish for a baby. Afterward, she has unsettling experiences that she convinces herself are angelic in nature, and when she’s visited one night by a strange creature, her wish comes true.&nbsp; Camille’s pregnancy announcement gets more engagement than anything she’s ever posted—so what if Graham’s reaction is lukewarm? Camille’s life is finally falling into place. Never mind that her pregnancy is developing freakishly rapidly and she’s suddenly craving raw meat. Being a traditional wife is worth it. Rosemary’s Baby for the digital age, this disturbing horror novel is one you’ll want to devour in just one bite.

A Novel

Trad Wife

In her one-of-a-kind voice, Diane Keaton shares the wisdom she's accumulated through the years as a mother, daughter, actress, artist, and international style icon. From a mortifying encounter with a makeup artist to an awkward excursion to Victoria's Secret with her teenage daughter, Keaton reveals candid moments from her life in and out of the public eye. She recounts her experiences with the many men in her life-including Warren Beatty, Jack Nicholson, and Al Pacino-shows how our ideals of beauty change as we age, and explains why a life well lived may be the most beautiful thing of all. 'Diane Keaton wasn't just an actress: she was a force. A woman who showed us that being yourself is the is the most powerful thing you can be' Octavia Spencer 'She's talented, iconic, quirky . . . And wonderfully blunt. This is just a small sampling of the reasons we love Diane Keaton, and they all permeate the pages of her new memoir' Elle 'A brilliant actress who time and again laid herself bare to tell our stories' Nancy Meyers 'Her influence on culture, fashion, art and women can't be overstated' Elizabeth Banks

Let's Just Say It Wasn't Pretty

A glorious fusion of history and art, A Vast Horizon tells the story of Pablo Picasso and his free-spirited friends, including Lee Miller and Man Ray, in the tumultuous years around the Second World War. 'Excellent and revealing . . . at the end we feel their loss as if they had been our friends' - Antony Penrose, Lee Miller Archives 'At once intimate and expansive . . . a fascinating portrait' - Clare Mulley, author of Agent Zo Late summer 1937. Europe is inching towards war. In the South of France a group of friends picnic in a secluded clearing. The women have peeled down their dresses to their waists. A couple kiss playfully while the others look on, laughing. The moment is captured in Lee Miller's now-iconic image. Some of the friends are well known, others less so: the dancer Ady Fidelin, the poet Paul Éluard and his wife Nusch, the Surrealists Man Ray and Roland Penrose. They are spending the summer with fellow artists Dora Maar, Eileen Agar and Pablo Picasso. In A Vast Horizon biographer Anna Thomasson tells the story of their creativity, friendships and pursuit of freedom set against the tense political backdrop of the 1930s, the Second World War and its aftermath. Tracing their lives through their photographs, artworks, poems and letters, from the heady weeks of creativity, sex and collaboration of that Mediterranean summer through the tumultuous years that followed, it is the story of rebellious lives and the redemptive power of art.

Merry

A nation on the cusp of war. A king ousted from his capital by the people. A society on the brink of collapse. From Jonathan Healey comes a gripping history about the months that sent England into civil war 'An old-fashioned Westminster thriller . . . You could hardly find a more engrossing or exciting story' DOMINIC SANDBROOK, SUNDAY TIMES 'A rollicking history, packed with fire and excitement *****' DANIEL BROOKS, TELEGRAPH 'The House of Cards-ish drama remains gripping to the last' LITERARY REVIEW After years of tension between a king and his people, in 1641 England reaches a semblance of peace. Armies have disbanded, legislation has passed to ensure Parliament will continue to sit, and the people are tentatively optimistic. Radical politicians congratulate themselves on a stunning political victory. Royal servants are coming to accept an altered future. Then comes winter. With it, chaos, protests, political deadlock, and eventually a remarkable attempt by King Charles I to destroy his opponents. On 4 January 1642 Charles marches on the small riverside city of Westminster at the head of an army, seeking to arrest five Members of Parliament. In doing so, he sets in motion a series of events that will lead to bloodshed and war, changing a nation forever. Why did the English Civil War break out? The Blood in Winter tells the story of an English people's great political awakening, and of a nation that splintered into bloodshed at a terrifying speed. Jonathan Healey recreates the claustrophobic atmosphere of the day, with rowdy protestors in the streets and London blanketed in coal smoke. It is a story of remarkable but flawed characters, all faced with unpalatable choices, and a frightening picture of a society in profound distress.

The Blood in Winter

'An instant classic' NIGELLA LAWSON 'Sweeping, intimate, defiant and brimming with love' LOUISE KENNEDY 'It is the roots that keep the trees from falling during a storm. Olia Hercules tells us that the same is true for people and nations' SERHII PLOKHY I am writing this story without knowing its end: it begins long before I was born and will continue long after I die. I am writing this story to help myself heal and to make you understand. Strong Roots is the story of a century in Ukraine told through four generations of one extraordinary family. It takes us from years of Russification, to Olia's grandmother's deportation to snowy wastelands under Stalin, to her Aunt Zhenia's school protest, to her own parents' flight from Ukraine when their town was occupied in 2022. This is an ode to the land, to ideas of home and belonging, and to family stories and recipes passed down the generations - the tang of sour cherries, the best way to make borsch. It is an account of resilience in the hardest of circumstances. Strong Roots brims with hope and grief. It lays bare the compromises and betrayals of generations struggling and surviving through war, peace, invasion and exile. It is an uplifting reminder of how much the human spirit can endure when born from a land rich with strong roots.
