How Four Women Challenged the Musical World

From the bestselling author of Almond, The Devil Wears Prada meets The Office in this witty, humane, and ultimately transformative story of a group of young workers who rebel against the status quo, now available in a convenient pocket-sized portable Nomad Edition.Jihye is an ordinary woman who has never been extraordinary. In her administrative job at the Academy, she silently tolerates office politics and the absurdities of Korean bureaucracy. Forever only one misplaced email away from career catastrophe, she effectively becomes a master of the silent eye-roll and the tactical coffee run. But all her efforts to endure her superiors and the semi-hostile work environment they create are upended when a new intern, Gyuok Lee, arrives.Like a pacifist version of V in V for Vendetta, Gyuok recruits a trio of office allies to carry out plans for minor revenge. Together, these four “rebels” commit tiny protests against those in more powerful positions through spraying graffiti, throwing eggs, and writing anonymous exposés. But as their attacks increase, the initial joy they felt at the release becomes something more and Jihye and the others will discover the beauty of friendship and the extraordinary power of unity against adversity.&nbsp;

A Novel

Counterattacks at Thirty (Nomad Edition)

The sexual assault that rocked the world. A courageous woman's rallying call for 'shame to change sides'. For the very first time, Gisèle Pelicot tells her story. 'This is quite something - a really brave, honest and heart-rending memoir' SARAH JESSICA PARKER 'Extraordinary ... inspires courage and compassion, but also, crucially, demands change' EMMA THOMPSON 'A page-turning memoir that will move you to live more' GINA MARTIN A BEST BOOK OF 2026 FOR THE OBSERVER, TELEGRAPH, GUARDIAN, FINANCIAL TIMES, NEW YORK TIMES, DAILY MIRROR, IRISH TIMES, GQ MAGAZINE, LIT HUB, BBC AND MORE One November day, Gisèle Pelicot was called to a local police station and life as she knew it ended. Her husband of fifty years had been caught by a supermarket guard filming up women's skirts. But on his computer was shattering evidence: for nearly a decade, he had been secretly drugging and raping her and inviting dozens of strangers into their home to abuse her. Four years later, he and fifty other men were put on trial and Gisèle's courage in waiving her right to anonymity made global headlines. 'Shame must change sides,' she declared, giving voice and hope to millions. Her words became a rallying cry and her decision marked a turning point in public feeling about sexual violence. For the first time, and with unwavering honesty and grace, she describes a difficult childhood, first love, her career and motherhood. It is a life in determined search of happiness, both before and after her devastating discovery. She is an ordinary person who faces extraordinary catastrophe, whose example changes the world. Ultimately, Gisèle Pelicot emerges with a renewed passion and reverence for living, and for love. A Hymn to Life is an unforgettable testament and promise: that victims have no reason to feel ashamed; that even after unimaginable betrayal we can go on; and that colour will always return to life. 'A Hymn to Life is novelistic and resounds with grace ... An extraordinary achievement' FINANCIAL TIMES 'A unique memoir by a figure of astonishing power' GUARDIAN 'Extraordinarily courageous' THE TIMES

Shame has to Change Sides

A Hymn to Life

*An Observer Best New Biographies of 2024*?*Now in paperback!*Celebrated NPR music critic Ann Powers explores the life and career of Joni Mitchell in a lyrical style as fascinating and ethereal as the songs of the artist herself.“What you are about to read is not a standard account of the life and work of Joni Mitchell. Instead, it’s a tale of long journeying through a life that changed popular music: of a homesick wanderer forging ahead on routes of her own invention, and of me on her trail, heading toward the ringing of her voice.”—From the introductionFor decades, Joni Mitchell’s life and music have enraptured listeners. One of the most celebrated artists&nbsp;of her generation, Mitchell has inspired countless musicians—from peers like James Taylor, to inheritors like Prince and Brandi Carlile—and authors, who have dissected her music and her life in their writing. At the same time, Mitchell has always been a force beckoning us still closer, as—with the other arm—she pushes us away. Given this, music critic Ann Powers wondered if there was another way to draw insights from the life of this singular musician who never stops moving, never stops experimenting.In&nbsp;Traveling, Powers seeks to understand Mitchell through her myriad journeys. Through extensive interviews with Mitchell's peers and deep archival research, she takes readers to rural Canada, mapping the singer’s childhood battle with polio. She charts the course of Mitchell’s musical evolution, ranging from early folk to jazz fusion to experimentation with pop synthetics. She follows the winding road of Mitchell’s collaborations with other greats, and the loves that emerged along the way, all the way through to the remarkable return of Mitchell to music-making after&nbsp;the 2015 aneurysm that nearly took her life.Along this journey, Powers’ wide-ranging musings on the artist’s life and career reconsider the biographer’s role and the way it twines against the reality of a fan. In doing so, Traveling illustrates the shifting nature of biography, and the ultimate contradiction of celebrity: that an icon cannot truly, completely be known to a fan.Kaleidoscopic in scope, and intimate in its detail, Traveling is a fresh and fascinating addition to the Joni Mitchell canon, written by a biographer in full command of her gifts who asks as much of herself as of her subject.&nbsp;

On the Path of Joni Mitchell

Traveling

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

*Longlisted for the 2026 Women's Prize for Non-Fiction* 'Not simply a memoir. It is an indictment of failure at the highest levels of police, press and politics' Tom Watson 'Intensely personal ... turning fear into bravery and pain into power' Cosmopolitan 'A powerful memoir ... the astonishing story of her fight for justice' Guardian 'Outstanding, revelatory journalism and gripping memoir ... brave, jaw-dropping, unputdownable' Ramita Navai 'Stunning ... an extraordinary read, full of unimaginable courage and resilience ... wisdom, humility and humour' Julie Hesmondhalgh 'Deeply human, captivating, exposing and honest ... a must-read' Gina Martin 'There I was, working on a story with Jenny, without even suspecting she was the story' Nick Davies 'Courageous and honest and disturbing - it will empower and deeply move and it will anger too' Robin Ince 'There is deep tragedy here ... But this book is saved from bleakness by Evans's resilience and her practical, geekily obsessive approach to dealing with what happened to her' Hannah Lucinda Smith 'Intensely moving ... vital, wise, passionate' Ol Parker As profiled in the Guardian and on Radio 4 Woman's Hour Cast in a cult film at the age of eighteen, Jenny Evans was on the cusp of something extraordinary; a route out of her hometown, a future of promise. But the new world she was exploring crumbled around her when she was assaulted at a party by a high-profile figure. Jenny reported this crime to the police when she became aware of other allegations of violence against The Famous Man. Shortly after doing so, details of what she had experienced were printed in a tabloid newspaper. Jenny trained as a journalist herself to try to find out how this happened. In the aftermath of devastation, she picked up the pieces and fought back against the systems that caused her harm. Her investigation helped expose the jaw-dropping press abuse and police corruption we now call the 'phone-hacking scandal'. Now training as a lawyer, Jenny is still working to fight for justice in a system that so horrifically fails its victims. Don't Let it Break You, Honey is a reckoning: a personal, fiercely compelling account of power - who holds it, who wields it, who is silenced in the process. It asks urgent questions about fame, justice, and the institutions we have no choice but to trust, while offering something even more profound: hope. Because this is, above all, a story about resilience. About finding your voice when the world wants to silence you. And refusing to let them win.

Longlisted for the 2026 Women’s Prize for Non-Fiction

Don't Let it Break You, Honey

A feminist romp through pop culture that illuminates how women influence and shape the economy. Taylor Swift isn't just a pop megastar. She is a working woman whose astounding accomplishments defy patriarchal norms. And while not all women can be Beyoncé or Dolly Parton or Reese Witherspoon, the successes of these trailblazing stars help us understand the central role of women in today's economy. Swiftynomics assesses the complex economic lives of everyday American women through the stories of groundbreakers like Taylor Swift, Misty L. Heggeness digs into the data, revealing women's hidden contributions and aspirations--the unexamined value they create by pursuing their own ambitions. She highlights the abundance of productive activity in their daily lives and acknowledges the barriers they still face. Exploring critical reforms regarding caregiving and gendered labor, this book offers advice for women to thrive in an economy that was not built for them.

Als Annette Dittert am 31. Januar 2020 um Mitternacht vor der Downing Street stand, um live in den ARD-Tagesthemen darüber zu berichten, dass der Brexit in dieser Nacht nun endgültig vollzogen sei, schossen ihr kurz vor der Schalte plötzlich Tränen in die Augen. Längst war London ihr Zuhause geworden. Jetzt war der Bruch mit der EU nicht mehr umkehrbar. Für sie und viele Briten, die bis zum Schluss noch auf einen anderen Ausgang gehofft hatten, ein bedrückender Tag. 
Zehn Jahre später fragt sich Annette Dittert, was aus dem Land geworden ist. Sie nimmt uns mit auf eine Reise über die Insel: Wir besuchen die Royal Albert Hall und das House of Lords, schwimmen mit der Frauengruppe 'Blue Tits' im Meer an der Ostküste der Insel, plaudern mit Schotten, Priestern und Earls. Und sind bei der Autorin auf ihrem Narrowboat Emilia zu Gast, einem kleinen bunten Boot aus Stahl am Regent's Canal, mitten im Zentrum Londons. So entsteht ein facettenreiches Bild der eigenwillig-charmanten Briten, deren prekäre wirtschaftliche und soziale Situation - nicht nur infolge des EU-Austritts - im Alltag spürbar ist und die doch stets Haltung bewahren.

'Jedes Mal, wenn Annette Dittert in der ARD zugeschaltet wurde, dachte ich erfreut: Let the show begin. Und genau so liest sich dieses Buch. Annette Dittert verbindet politische Analyse mit persönlicher Erfahrung jahrelanger Korrespondentenzeit. So entsteht ein vielschichtiger, oft überraschender Blick auf ein Land, das vielen Deutschen vertraut scheint und das sich doch erst wirklich erschließt, wenn man Einblicke hinter seine Rituale, Widersprüche und Eigenheiten erhält. Und die liefert Annette Dittert und nicht zu wenig. Grandios! ' NATALIE AMIRI

'Dieses fantastische Buch ist ebenso unterhaltsam wie klug. Ein tiefer Blick in die Seele der Briten, geschrieben fast wie ein Roman. Ich konnte nicht aufhören zu lesen!' ULRICH WICKERT
