Kutchinsky S: Kutchinsky's Egg / B

Kutchinsky's Egg

A Family Story of Love, Loss and Obsession

Before there was Cher or Madonna, Iran had Googoosh. For the first time, one of the biggest pop stars of the 20th century tells her story: her rise to fame in pre-revolution Iran, her arrest and imprisonment by Revolutionary forces, her twenty-year exile, and finally, her triumphant return to the global stage.

A Sinful Voice

Googoosh

A Radio 4 Book of the Week 'Fascinating . . . While the rest of us are worrying about it, Dorcas Gwata is doing something about it' - HHJ Wendy Joseph, author of Unlawful Killings 'The appetite for medical memoirs has never been greater . . . a welcome and important addition' - The Independent Through the lives of ten young people an award-winning nurse reveals the impact of gang culture on mental health. Dorcas Gwata is an award-winning nurse specialising in mental health. She has worked closely with vulnerable young people exposed to the knife crime, sexual exploitation, drug use and poor mental health associated with gangs. In The Street Clinic, we accompany her in her work as she meets and cares for young people on the street and on their terms. We meet Fuz, who is on trial for aggravated assault. There's Abdul, who's exploring his sexuality and has been humiliated online. Louise's promising future is compromised by her controlling boyfriend. And there's Zane, whose parents' divorce opens up an emotional hole in his life that's plugged by an ill-chosen new friendship. Drawing on her own experiences of loss and social injustice, and twenty-five years on the NHS frontline, Dorcas offers a bird's-eye view of London: its multicultural population, wealth inequalities, tireless healthcare professionals, and an NHS that doesn't always work for everyone. And she asks the big questions: What lies behind London's youth violence crisis? What is its impact on the mental health of its victims? How are the families of our young people and the wider community affected? Exposing some uncomfortable truths about British society, The Street Clinic is also a powerful story of resilience, strength and, ultimately, hope. With photographs by Chanel Pinnock

10 Young Lives on the Frontline of Gang Culture

The Street Clinic

'An exhilarating exploration of how we've been touched by the cosmos across human history' LEWIS DARTNELL 'Combines scientific expertise with vivid storytelling and a childlike wonder that shines on every page' TIMES LITERARY SUPPLEMENT What draws us to the night sky and how can we make sense of all that lies there? In this unique synthesis of science and culture, former astrophysicist and writer Joanne Baker charts the global history of humanity's relationship with the cosmos. Starting with the nearby Moon before venturing through the solar system to the stars and beyond, she unveils a rich mosaic of stories and research that illuminate the significance of celestial bodies in our everyday lives. It is a history that transcends borders and cultural traditions, taking us from Mesopotamian moon worship to the science fiction of H. G. Wells and the discovery of black holes. Driven by a personal quest to understand the universe as more than just an abstract mathematical realm, Baker also includes her own sparkling first-hand experiences - from watching a total solar eclipse in Idaho to visiting an ancient observatory in Samarkand. Starwatchers invites readers on an extraordinary journey through space that interrogates the boundaries of our earthly existence and encourages us to reflect on how we project meaning onto the skies.

A History of Discovery in the Night Sky

Starwatchers

Some holes can't be filled. Some evils can't be explained.
Mick Enderson walks among us, a man hiding in plain sight, chasing a feeling he can't name and a hunger he can't silence. Whispers of vanished lives shadow his every step, while a sinister presence lingers at the edge of his conscience, urging him deeper into the dark.
As bodies disappear and fear grows, a relentless detective and a conflicted priest find themselves drawn into a chilling cat-and-mouse pursuit, each step revealing uncomfortable truths about the nature of evil, and the thin line that separates salvation from damnation.
A psychological thriller soaked in dread and moral ambiguity, this is not a story about justice. It's a story about what we refuse to see, until it's far too late.

Revealing the people behind the Rothschild name, The Rothschilds explores the lives and legacy of one of the best-known and most impactful families in modern history The Rothschild name has long been synonymous with wealth and privilege, but as Jews the family has also been dogged by prejudice and hatred. Antisemitism followed them from their earliest beginnings in the oppressive Jewish ghetto of Frankfurt, where Jews were not allowed out after nightfall, to the lofty summits of high finance, art, and culture. However, behind the myths, the glamor, and the conspiracy theories are a group of relatives whose individualism, personalities and occasional eccentricities have been obscured by their shared surname. In The Rothschilds, Harry Freedman delves into their lives on a historical tour, marked as much by dry British humor as by an unfailing attention to the influence of individual family members on world events. Freedman takes us from the genesis of the Rothschild international banking empire to the impact of individual Rothschilds in multiple fields over the past 250 years. Spanning war, politics and the industrial revolution, art, architecture and interior design, zoology, smuggling, counter-terrorism and the ongoing struggle against entrenched anti-Jewish bigotry, he reveals a truly new story of a very old family. The Rothschilds makes a great contribution not only to Jewish history but also our understanding of a dynasty that has shaped our world. &nbsp;

“Haunting, fast-paced, and unforgettable.” — Karin Slaughter, #1 New York Times bestselling author of We Are All Guilty Here“A lush, moody mystery. Darkrooms is gripping and atmospheric, as two women wrestle with guilt and injustice.” — Flynn Berry, New York Times bestselling author of Northern SpyTwo unforgettable women investigate the disappearance of a missing girl in a small Irish town brimming with secrets—in this haunting debut from a new crime writing talent, perfect for fans of Tana French and Flynn Berry.What secrets lurk in the Hanging Woods? On the night of the Summer Solstice in 1999, nine-year-old Roisin O’Halloran marched into the Hanging Woods, the mysterious copse that had inspired fear in decades of children in the small Irish town of Bannakilduf. She was never seen again. Twenty years later, two women are drawn together to discover the truth of what happened to Roisin: Roisin’s older sister Deedee, a rookie cop who’s barely hanging on to the appearance of keeping it all together, and Roisin’s childhood best friend Caitlin, a petty criminal who was the last person to see the young girl before she disappeared, now returned to her hometown after her mother’s death. With old wounds made fresh after decades of mistrust, Caitlin and Deedee must reckon with their shadowy pasts, the monsters that still haunt them, and the role they each may have played in Roisin’s disappearance. The secrets of that long-ago summer rise to the surface, and they will expose the truth that many in the small town are desperate to keep buried. The siren of the Hanging Woods rings out once more. After all, nothing can stay hidden forever.
