The Sunday Times No 1 bestseller, now updated with a reflection on Fiona's ongoing journey 'I hope this book can show people a little about what it is like to live with Alzheimer's. How frightening and confusing it is. But also how much life can still bring joy and be valued.' Much-loved broadcaster Fiona Phillips was sixty-one when she discovered that she had early-onset Alzheimer's disease. She had cared for her parents who had both suffered from the disease and now she was facing the same heart-breaking diagnosis - under no illusions about what it would mean for her and her family. With courage and determination, Fiona set out to chronicle what was happening to her in the hope that her book would help others. From the tiny first warning signs - the inability to concentrate and the 'brain fog' she wrote off as the menopause - to the gradual loss of her memories and her growing confusion, she reveals how the disease progresses and how she copes. She also shares her experiences with the NHS and the systems that may seem hard for patients and their families to navigate. Written with Fiona's trademark honesty, Remember When is a compelling and moving memoir as well as a book offering an important insight into life with a disease that will impact many of us. 'Fiona is one of the strongest, kindest and bravest women I know and her honesty and resilience shine through om every page' - Lorraine Kelly 'Fiona and her family are just incredible! The strength, the love, the way they've handled everything with such grace and courage is so inspiring' - Alison Hammond Remember When was a Sunday Times bestseller at no 1, as of 29/07/2025.

My life with Alzheimer's

Remember When

This engaging and highly practical workbook introduces students and writers to the creative and critical possibilities of the essay form, inviting them to see it as creative, imaginative and practice-led in content and approach. With most viewing the essay in academia as formulaic, impersonal, strictly linear and arguing a series of points evidenced according to certain rubrics, Kirsty Gunn and Gail Low make a case for the form to be more verb than noun, more activity and process than final arrival. Through practical examples, tips, readings, how-to plans for groups, collaborative exercises, publishing initiatives, network resources and ideas to refresh and energise study, this hybrid workbook-manifesto makes critical work creative, and creative work more probing and enlarging. With exciting implications for subjects from creative writing to areas across the humanities, the book incorporates forays into such disciplines as archival studies and history, visual and fine art, philosophy, presentation and rhetorical study and architecture. Bold and innovative, The Writing Studio is an ethos, an orientation over an instructional manual, using words, language, rhetoric and images to experiment playfully and productively with the essay form. Taking risks and offering surprises, this book chips away at outdated notions of the essay and presses forward with a mode of writing for the modern world.

Fairy Tale Heroine

THE INSTANT SUNDAY TIMES #1 BESTSELLER'Typically exposing, brilliantly written' VOGUE'Its quick hits of wit are like sniffs from an oxygen mask' NEW YORK TIMES'Few people are willing to be as human as Lena Dunham' OBSERVER'A generational voice' FINANCIAL TIMESIn this rowdy, frank reflection on illness, fame, sex, and everything in between, the remarkable mind behind the hit series Girlsand the bestselling author of Not That Kind of Girlasks whether fulfilling her creative ambitions has been worth the pain.For the last decade, as she's spent countless hours in doctor's waiting rooms searching for diagnoses, treatments, and relief, being the owner and operator of Lena Dunham's body has felt, as she puts it, 'like towing a wrecked car across town at midnight.' It's not easy dragging a wrecked car anywhere, much less to the Met Gala while sewn into a gold lamé corset. Or to the set of the hit show that you - as a twenty-five-year-old - are writing, directing, producing, and starring in. Or to the White House, the Golden Globes, or your publicist's office to discuss the latest internet disaster. But Dunham does it - even if it means interminable hospital stays, vomiting in the bathroom when she's meant to be meeting Oprah, or terrifying those closest to her - because she can no longer tell the difference between fighting to do what she loves and being a servant to her own ambition. All the while, she is holding out for a love that can withstand her personal and public challenges and, more than anything, yearning to feel like herself again - if only she could remember who that self was.As Dunham takes us through her journey, tracking her rise to fame - from selling the pilot of Girlsto the present - in three acts, it becomes clear that the spotlight casts long shadows, distorting the relationships she once held dear and isolating everyone in its glare. When an endless supply of drugs can't protect you from pain - and begins to control your every move - being famous doesn't stand a chance against the darker corners of the human experience.In Famesick, Dunham asks herself what the cost of fulfilling her dreams has really been, and whether it was worth it. What she finds is deeper than physical relief, and more lasting, as she learns to live with what she can't change and turn her regrets into wisdom that can carry her forward, as she reconnects to what, and who, she loves.

Famesick

In 1971, Surinder Arora stepped off a plane at Heathrow, a thirteen-year-old boy with limited English who was sent from the Punjab to find a future in a country so far from home. He had to learn a new language and discover shocking truths about his own family - all while working twice as hard as anyone else to prove his worth.

He never imagined that decades later, he would own the very skyline he first saw from the airplane window. From his early days as a waiter at the Penta hotel and trading on the Blackbushe market stalls to building a billion-pound empire, Surinder's journey is a masterclass in grit and Plan B thinking. Navigating the racial tensions of 1970s Britain, the 2008 financial crash and personal tragedy, he turned a struggle for survival into a legacy of hospitality.

Candid and inspiring, this is the definitive story of how one man conquered the high-stakes world of aviation hospitality.&nbsp;

“Professor Bobbi Thomason offers us a manifesto to agency—and teaches us what it means to have it, lose it, and reclaim it. Blending science and storytelling, her writing is as brilliant as it is vulnerable.”—Dolly Chugh, professor, New York University Stern School of Business, author of The Person You Mean to Be and A More Just Future Combining raw memoir and rigorous research, this thoughtful and eye-opening work offers a transformative roadmap to reclaim your agency by coloring outside the lines of what society expects. We make many vows in our lifetimes, some big, some small. Some vows are brief and time bound. Others are intended to last a lifetime. Fulfilling those vows is deeply complicated for women. We are often navigating environments that weren't built for us, where a sudden life shock—or just the exhausting weight of small, daily demands—may sideline our goals. After years of studying how can-do women advance in a world that isn't set up for their success, Dr. Bobbi Thomason found herself navigating a difficult divorce and custody battle—and living the very challenges to women's agency that she had been researching. Bobbi knew she needed more than outdated popular advice to make it through, so she returned to the science and reconsidered how to apply it in her own life. In Vows to Ourselves, she chronicles her journey as she examines how women’s power is taken from them by never-ending obligations to others. And yet, while looking out for other people might be part of the problem; it is also part of the solution. Thomason frames agency not as an isolated achievement, but as a shared practice, detailing how women act with and for their village. Grounded in data and her own raw story, this book offers a credible, compassionate blueprint, encouraging women to let go of life's default settings and build a life centered on their own most precious priorities that honors their complicated and multi-faceted selves. Vows to Ourselves will make every woman feel seen and supported. It will invite you to experiment, to put yourself first, and to sculpt the life and career you deserve. Vows to Ourselves offers women:Answers To Why Agency Is So Hard: Dr. Thomason offers a compelling, evidence-based exploration of why even the most ambitious, and high-achieving women find their autonomy hijacked—and the science of how women break free from being stuck. A Story that Resonates: Through raw, vulnerable storytelling that brings the research to life, Dr. Bobbi Thomason shares her own wake-up call, reminding you that it’s never too late to reclaim your life. Overdue Validation: If you feel overwhelmed, stuck, or stretched too thin, this book meets you with compassion—reminding you that you are not failing. Real Tools For Real Life: Discover practical, research-backed ways to set boundaries, rediscover your desires, and build a life where your ambitions and relationships can thrive together. A Powerful Invitation To Put Yourself First: Learn how honoring your own needs doesn’t just transform your life—it creates a ripple effect of strength, joy, and possibility for everyone around you.

How Women Reclaim Agency and Why It Matters for All of Us

Vows to Ourselves

From YouTube adventurer and National Geographic TV host, an inspiring travel memoir of one woman's solo adventures around the world and her pursuit of freedom. The Wilder Way (hardcover) is a bestseller in the Week of June 15 2026, via The Publishers Weekly - the leading trade magazine for the publishing industry. "A joy of recognition to many places around the world. A deeply personal insight in Eva as a person and her search... to find herself." Noraly Schoenmaker, bestselling author of Free Ride "Eva's story is one of pure grit, guiding us through an exploration of the space between being alone and being lonely, two things that are often - mistakenly - seen as one and the same." Brianna Madia, New York Times bestselling author of Nowhere for Very Long and Never Leave the Dogs Behind "Raw, disarmingly honest and beautifully told" Lucy Shepherd author of Into the Wild "Fans of powerful travel memoirs like Robyn Davidson's Tracks and Cheryl Strayed's Wild will find much to love in this compelling story of a woman rediscovering her spark by striking a different flint." Booklist Eva had it all: a high-flying job, a picture-perfect marriage, a lifestyle that many would aspire to. Yet she couldn't shake the feeling that she is living someone else's dream. After hitting rock bottom, she bought a one-way ticket to Nepal and left her old life behind in search of her true path in life. Over the next few years, Eva travelled solo to some of the world's most far-flung places - A lone horse trek in Mongolia, COVID lockdown on a desert island in Yemen and overlanding across the US in an 18-year-old truck with her beloved dog, Vilk. Along the way, she grew an engaged online community and transformed from someone living society's idea of a best life to a person discovering the truth of her own. But the shift from a rooted life to a transient one was far from straightforward and Eva grappled with the tension between her wanderlust and a longing for somewhere to call home. This book is the incredible, world-expanding memoir of Eva journeying through the world on her own terms - and an inspiring example of what awaits when you take the wilder path. "In a world that seems intent on locking us in gilded cages and behind screens, I want The Wilder Way to stand as an ode to freedom, a call to blaze your very own trail and a blueprint for an adventurous life."

A Memoir of Adventure, Freedom, and an Uncharted Life

The Wilder Way

'Extraordinary' ANNE APPLEBAUM 'Thrilling . . . a record of an infatuation' TELEGRAPH 'The book of a lifetime' ELIF SHAFAK 'The North Pole proves to be the perfect subject for him' MICHAEL PALIN 'Heart-catching . . . fabulous' OBSERVER 'A beautiful book' ALAIN DE BOTTON The epic adventure story of the North Pole - its transcendent beauty and dangerous appeal - from Norwegian explorer Erling Kagge who travelled there in 1990 Throughout recorded human time, few places on Earth have inspired as much fascination as the North Pole. This is an otherworldly place where the sun rises and stays aloft for six whole months before setting, plunging the expanse of ice and water into darkness for half a year. Foot-stepping alongside Erling Kagge, who ventured to the North Pole in the spring of 1990, we hear the story of the North Pole as never told before. From Herodotus who first wondered what the northernmost point of our planet might be like, to the intrepid early cartographers who mapped the world, and the legendary expeditions led by Fridtjof Nansen and Robert Peary - the first polar explorer global celebrities - who were in the grip of a dangerous obsession to get to the North Pole first. What emerges is a new history of the world, spanning thousands of years, as seen from the 'silver-shining vacantness' of the North Pole. Blending memories from Kagge's own 1990 trip with this epic history, The North Pole is an adventure story, a book about enacting hidden human dreams, about difficult fathers and their difficult sons, and a psychological record of what it means to keep putting one foot in front of the other in the face of adversity. It is for anyone who's gazed out at the horizon - and wondered what happens if you just keep walking. 'As an explorer Erling Kagge is world class; as a writer he is equally gifted' RANULPH FIENNES

The History of an Obsession

The North Pole

So much more than a memoir, this a spirited canter through Prue's musings on the triumphs, trials and tribulations of ageing well. Including health, beauty, fashion, business, work, widowhood and finding love again, decorating, downsizing, and assisted dying. From Bake Off presenter, Prue Leith, comes a&nbsp;truthful, inspiring and funny short book - part memoir and part reflection, on time running out and accepting the inevitable end while still having fun and being visible. Sometimes serious, sometimes funny, and always entertaining, with themes reflective of her one woman show - geriatric love, the catwalk appearances, being Pegasus on the Masked Singer, her new ITV show My Cotswold Kitchen, and a focus on the trials and taboos of age: why are we embarrassed by oldies kissing; what is acceptable behavior when you're old?, to work or to retire, staying healthy and active, her passionate belief in Assisted Dying, and dealing with grief.
