A World Between

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

From a Nottingham alleyway to a global empire, Threads is the story of a truly unique British fashion icon. 'I always say that you can find inspiration in everything. And if you can't, look again' - Sir Paul Smith Sir Paul's journey has been anything but conventional: from leaving school at fifteen with a dream of being a professional racing cyclist to a life-altering accident that would change everything. After meeting the love of his life and immersing himself in the exciting new world of the 1960s London art and fashion scene, he would go on to build a global fashion empire that started off as a tiny shop tucked behind a dark, damp corridor in Nottingham. For the first time and in his signature wit, Paul shares candid memories of a life in style, including what it was like to dress legends including David Bowie, Daniel Day-Lewis, Giorgio Armani and Sir Alex Ferguson; how he fought to keep his brand independent in a world of globalized homogeneity; and why, after five decades of success, you can still find him on the shopfloor every Saturday meeting his customers. Guided by his father's advice of working hard and repairing everything by hand, Threads is more than a fashion memoir. It is a masterclass in how to stay curious, stay independent and always look for the extraordinary in the everyday.

My Life in Style

Threads

'Your book is the "really good book. Just one" that Roger Butler would have wanted' - Sir Ian McKellen 'Absorbing and often very moving' - Peter Parker, Spectator 'Sir, we are homosexuals . . .' So began the letter penned by Roger Butler and sent to several British newspaper editors - some of whom were so shocked they thought it was a hoax - in June 1960. Writing such a letter seven years before the decriminalisation of homosexuality was a radical and dangerous move. It was a risk that set a major milestone in the fight for gay rights - one that has been almost entirely forgotten. This is the story of the first man to come out voluntarily, using his own name, to the entire British public, a decade before activists started petitioning gay people everywhere to 'come out proud'. Taking us through a criminalised underworld of gay pubs, parties and activist meetings, The Light of Day charts how Roger helped bring about the legalisation of homosexuality, but soon found himself marginalised from the movement he kickstarted after losing his sight in his early 30s. Enter Christopher - a student asked to visit and read to an old, blind man at the beginning of a new century. As their intergenerational friendship bloomed, Roger came to trust Christopher with his most precious possession: memoirs of his revolutionary past, locked away in his home. After Roger's death, Christopher opened a series of unsent letters, left in a pink folder, addressed to him. They contained Roger's final wish, for Christopher finally to bring his remarkable, hidden story into the light of day. 'Remarkable . . . a splendidly sprawling part biography, part autobiography, part history and part social commentary . . . the result, a true account, benefits greatly from a lightness, a candour untethered to any agenda or argument' - Times Literary Supplement 'Faithfully and beautifully told' - Mail on Sunday

A Year with the West Country Hedgelayer

Of Thorn & Briar

'A fascinating detective story told with humor and joy that unravels the threads of history and legend to reveal the strange stories of Britain's hill figures.'—Fiona Roberston, author of&nbsp;Stone Lands A journey through Britain’s chalklands, uncovering the stories, symbolism, and shifting meanings of the mysterious figures carved into its hills.&nbsp; Across southern England and beyond, the land bears the marks of centuries—white horses, giants, crosses, badges, even a lost panda—cut into the chalk and exposed to the sky. In The Tattooed Hills, writer Jon Woolcott travels to these remarkable sites, exploring their history and the deep cultural roots that link landscape to identity.&nbsp; Part travelogue, part cultural history, Woolcott examines how these figures—sometimes ancient, sometimes surprisingly recent—reflect the nation's collective imagination, and how their interpretations have changed over time. Once emblems of pride or remembrance, they have become mirrors of our shifting values and contradictions.&nbsp; From Iron Age hillforts to modern regimental carvings, The Tattooed Hills brings together archaeology, folklore, art, literature and music to reveal the evolving story of Britain’s chalk landscapes and the people who shaped them. Beautifully written and steeped in a sense of place, Woolcott visits many of England's Chalk figures, delving into their mysteries, including The Westbury White Horse, the Long Man of Wilmington, The Cerne Abbas Giant and the Uffington White Horse. A captivating exploration of landscape, culture, and belonging, The Tattooed Hills reveals how the Britain' chalklands connect to the past and shapes the country today.&nbsp; 'Woolcott is the most splendid company on this intoxicating, immaculately researched tour of chalky weirdness. He has a keen ear for the murmuring voice of Deep England, and the wisdom to know that the more one knows about a place or a person, the more profound the mystery.' –Charles Foster, author of The Edges of the World, Being Human and Being A Beast

Einsamsein

'Utterly gripping, enraging, entertaining - and important. I can't recommend it highly enough' Jennifer Higgie In 1958, talented and fearless and eighteen years old, Liliane Lijn left her family home and moved to Paris alone to become an artist. Once there, she found an art world filled with the wild energy of creative revolution - peopled and controlled almost entirely by men. Embracing the bohemian spirit of the Left Bank, Lijn built a life for herself in the city, befriending artists, poets and revolutionaries and creating ground-breaking sculptures with light, text and movement, despite being told again and again that there are no great women artists. Liquid Reflections is her sparkling memoir of these years of experiment and adventure. Based on personal diaries from the time, this is a riveting and revelatory portrait of the artist as a young woman. 'A whirlwind of encounters . . . a pioneer in melding art, poetry and science' Art Basel

Liquid Reflections

In a career that has seen him face coup leaders in his native Ivory Coast and lead some of the most prestigious Western financial institutions, Tidjane Thiam has blazed a trail through African and European politics and business.In a career that has seen him face coup leaders in his native Ivory Coast and lead some of the most prestigious Western financial institutions, Tidjane Thiam has blazed a trail through African and European politics and business.After a childhood in tumultuous west and north Africa, Thiam broke barriers in the elitist world of French higher education, becoming one of the first black consultants at McKinsey and Company before entering the Ivorian government. After a coup forced him into exile, he joined the world of finance, where his rise saw him named as CEO of Prudential in London and Credit Suisse in Zurich. Along the way, he was trained and supported by many both in the public and private sector who made his many achievements as a leader possible. However, his rise to prominence as the only African, black and Muslim boss of large Western corporations was also accompanied with disproportionate public and media scrutiny, as well as racism and xenophobia.A blend of autobiography, business, politics, and personal philosophy, his book offers a unique vantage point on corporate and political life in Africa, Europe, the United States and Asia. In a story that spans from his father's politically motivated imprisonment to the business principles that took Thiam to the top of global finance, he shares a personal and professional story that is equal parts inspirational and aspirational.

Reflections

»Spuren im Staub« wurde erstmals 1942 auf dem Höhepunkt von Zora Neale Hurstons Popularität veröffentlicht und ist ihre freimütige, witzige, kühne und ergreifende Autobiografie. Eindrucksvoll und überschwänglich erzählt sie darin von ihrer Kindheit im ländlichen Süden und von ihrem Aufstieg zu einer der führenden Künstlerinnen und Intellektuellen der Harlem Renaissance.Hurstons sehr persönliches literarisches Selbstporträt ist fesselnd und bietet einen aufschlussreichen, oft kühnen Einblick in das Leben – öffentlich und privat – einer außergewöhnlichen Künstlerin, Anthropologin, Chronistin und Verfechterin der Black Experience in Amerika. Voller Witz und Weisheit einer stolzen, temperamentvollen Frau, die ganz unten anfing und ganz oben ankam, ist »Spuren im Staub« ein seltener Schatz von einer der meistgeschätzten Stimmen der Literatur.

Spuren im Staub

Whatever happened to the weirdos? The rock'n'roll rebels? The children of The Revolution who not so much raged against The Man as barely acknowledged the concept of authority? Like vividly plumed birds of paradise whose habitat is gone, they're practically extinct. In their place? The communal voice of the on-trend musical activist, forever saying and doing The Right Thing. The opposite, in fact, of what we used to know as the free-wheelin' rock 'n' roll nutter... Sylvia Patterson remembers them. The freaks, geeks and oddballs who picked up microphones and instruments not to become rich or famous but because they were too mad (or unemployable) to do anything else. The true radicals and loose cannon lunatics who pandered to zero PC tropes, and even less societal rules, determined to live their&nbsp;worst&nbsp;lives. I'm Not With The Man&nbsp;is the freaky flipside to her award-winning memoir&nbsp;I'm Not With The Band, celebrating the era of 'the rock 'n' roll nutter' through her own encounters with some of music's most uncompromising mavericks. From a cursing Adam Ant to a formidable Chrissie Hynde, from a carousing Liam Gallagher to a coruscating Sinead O'Connor, from a comedy Wu Tang Clan to an unrepentant Marianne Faithfull, from a fragile Evan Dando to a furious Thom Yorke... and many, many more. Hilarious, revealing and poignant,&nbsp;I'm Not With The Man&nbsp;is a farewell fanfare to the heroically unhinged, who lived on the edge of not only society but their own precarious sanity. Deliberately. We will not see their like again.

A Writer’s Life with the Music Mavericks

I'm Not With The Man

One hundred years. Four wars. A singular devotion to the sky.

Raised on a New York farm during the Great Depression, Charles Cone transformed a childhood dream into a century of service. From the cockpit of Navy training planes in World War II to the high-stakes missions of Korea, Vietnam, and the Cuban Missile Crisis, Cone's life mirrored the evolution of American aviation.

But the story doesn't end in the clouds. This memoir captures the daily friction of military life and the quiet endurance of a family waiting on the ground. Told with technical clarity and deep restraint, Burning Desire to Fly is a firsthand record of what it means to answer a lifelong calling-and the discipline required to stay airborne.
