Paper Cut

An adoptive parent and historian delves into the differences of families made by law, not biology-- and shows us the deep value of those differences Adoption touches on some of our most vexing social questions, about race and sexuality, abortion rights, economic inequality, even foreign policy and global poverty. More than that, it prods us in tender places, reminding us of our own questions about belonging and separation, identity and alienation, our worries about what is determined by fate and what is freely choose. Blending personal memoir, history, and broader reflection on American culture, Ordinary Days and Tender Places offers a fresh take on adoption. As an historian and an adoptive parent, Bendroth takes seriously the criticisms and the personal pain many adoptees face, but she also invites readers to take a bigger view. This book asks us to turn the mirror on ourselves and consider the peculiarities of what we consider “normal” family life. In the end, our questions and controversies obscure a basic fact: raising children born to someone else is a time-honored human practice. In the past and in many cultures today, our modern American ideal, the two-parent biologically-related nuclear family, is an oddity. Within the long history of humanity our ideas about kinship and our beliefs about what constitutes a “normal” household are surprisingly narrow and, in the end, not all that helpful. Bendroth introduces readers to new ways of thinking about adoption, exploring the history of American families and children as well as fascinating findings by biologists and evolutionary anthropologists about kinship practices, genetics and inheritance, even motherhood itself. This is, in other words, a book about adoption and much more. It is an invitation to readers to reflect on their own lives, to think deeply about our human need to connect, to love, and belong.

Ordinary Days and Tender Places

Shakespeare Retold

Shakespeare's Macbeth is transformed into a page-turning Jo Nesbo crime thriller, the story of the ex-addict cop Inspector Macbeth. He's the best cop they've got. When a drug bust turns into a bloodbath it's up to Inspector Macbeth and his team to clean up the mess. He's also an ex-drug addict with a troubled past. He's rewarded for his success. Power. Money. Respect. They're all within reach. But a man like him won't get to the top. Plagued by hallucinations and paranoia, Macbeth starts to unravel. He's convinced he won't get what is rightfully his. Unless he kills for it. 'Shakespeare's darkest tale - reimagined by the king of Nordic noir' Mail on Sunday 'A deliciously oppressive page-turner' Guardian SHAKESPEARE RETOLD: Time travel. Zombies. Power-hungry media moguls. This is Shakespeare as you've never seen him before: nine iconic plays transformed by the best novelists of our time, with covers by Michael Craig-Martin.

Macbeth

A CHILLING THRILLER FROM THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF INTERNATIONAL PHENOMENON, THE WHISPER MAN 'An electrifyingly scary thriller' DAILY MAIL --- Reeling after his father suddenly takes his own life, Neil Dawson starts seeking out answers to help make sense of this tragedy. He rifles through his father's possessions and is shocked to discover an old novel - one he'd never known his father had written. The Black Flower. Enclosed within is a dried rose - eerily similar to the one held in the book by a mysterious girl who is found with no name and no memory - only a black flower in her hand... Why did his father keep this book hidden? And is the flower a sign - or a warning? As Neil begins to uncover more strange clues, he suspects there is more to his father's suicide than meets the eye. Detective Hannah Price is mourning the death of her own father, whose shadow looms large after she followed him into the police. When Neil calls on her to help investigate his father's death, she soon realises the truth Neil is seeking lies within The Black Flower. But as she starts digging deeper, she's shocked to discover dark secrets from her own past lurking in its pages... --- Praise for Alex North 'The best crime novel of the decade' Steve Cavanagh 'A thriller that is both terrifying and utterly heartbreaking. Mesmerising and masterful' Mark Billingham 'This is a true skin-crawler' Guardian 'Shades of Thomas Harris and Stephen King but brilliant in its own right' C.J. Tudor 'First it's spooky. Then it's scary. Then it's terrifying' A.J. Finn

But, when their dinner is interrupted by the untimely arrival of a dead body, they're reminded that crime never sleeps - and nor do the secrets within the walls of Belsay. It's time to find out who's been naughty or nice... Murder and mystery are peppered with romance and humour in this fast-paced crime whodunnit, set amidst the spectacular Northumbrian landscape. --------------------------------- PRAISE FOR LJ ROSS "LJ Ross is the queen of Kindle" - Sunday Telegraph "She keeps company with the best mystery writers" - The Times "Holy Island is a blockbuster" - Daily Express "A literary phenomenon" - Evening Chronicle

Belsay

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.

Serial Killer Explanation

The Horrors gain strength when things in our world are broken. A bone. A promise. A heart. Ever since she first encountered 'The Horrors', Alice has hidden herself safely behind the walls of her family's Whitby guest house. Only her beloved sister, Lucille, knows why: that Alice can see things - gruesome, terrible things - in the darkest corners of our world. Shadow-monsters which will do anything to satisfy their violent cravings - and seemingly nothing can stop them. Of course, no one would believe them if they told them - and so the girls stay silent. That is, until Lucille goes missing, and the boy she was in love with turns up dead. All of which coincides with the arrival of Austin - a dashing young actor from London, who claims a demon has stolen his voice, and only Alice can help him. Faced with a world and powers she never even knew existed, Alice must race against time to save her sister, herself, and perhaps the only other person who's ever cared about her. As well as send a demon or two back to where they came from . . .

Half a Dark Heart

You didn't go to the seminary to become a priest, the rector had explained on their first morning. You went to learn what God was asking of you. When Mack O'Brien left his home in Port Talbot for the seminary as a teenager, he didn't imagine he'd be back a decade later, unordained and at war with his faith. Back in his childhood bedroom, he remains committed to the idea of a moral life, but isn't entirely sure what that looks like. He takes a job as a security guard at the local steelworks and begins an uneasy transition into the world of industry, brotherhood, and community he once rejected. When the men of the steelworks organise an unprecedented strike in protest against job cuts, he goes along with it. Meanwhile, his mother watches footage of past catastrophes and prays for the dead. The last person Mack expects to see in the local club is Siwan Roderick - the woman who appeared out of the blue at the seminary one day to make a confession and swore him to secrecy. Mack kept his word. But as the day of the strike nears, tensions in the town escalate and allegiances are tested. Mack's loyalty to Siwan and his desperation to do the right thing will change both of their lives forever.
