The Shortest History of Scotland

'Tender, transporting, creative and beautifully written ... Simply glorious, from start to finish' Rachel Clarke, author of Dear LifeSimultaneously heart-breaking and darkly hilarious, Leaving Home is a portrait of the artist both as a child and as an adult.Mark Haddon's parents were not really cut out for the job of having children. They were cut out, respectively, for the jobs of designing abattoirs and keeping a pathologically clean and tidy house. At least Mark had the consolations of The Weetabix Solar System Wallchart, walnut whips and the occasional Babycham.Astringently honest and scalpel sharp, this is a book about being different and seeing the world differently. It's about being a cartoonist and a care assistant. It's about family. It's about how art, in all its varied forms, provides a way of understanding and coming to terms with the mess of human life. And it's richly illustrated throughout with images from the author's childhood.As bracing as it is embracing, Leaving Home is about escaping a place that never felt like home and learning to create somewhere that does.'I loved this funny, melancholy and arrestingly original memoir of an artist's coming into being' Sarah Perry, author of Enlightenment

A Memoir in Full Colour

Leaving Home

There have been numerous attempts to trace a historical, if not evolutionary, line through the development of discourses on justice. As impressive as this tradition is, the everyday use and labeling of people, actions, and structures as 'just' or 'unjust' seems to us to be far removed from it. In political discourse, from left to right, people make use of the semantics of justice, and in another sphere, a pluralistic use is emerging, namely in the world religions. Social developments seem to be characterised precisely by the fact that they claim to be evaluated from the perspective of 'just/unjust': this applies to the gender debate, the discourse on climate justice, intergenerational justice, questions of restorative justice, memory justice, or epistemic justice and ontological injustice in the religious discourse of Catholicism. At the same time, the spread of the vocabulary of justice seems to be both an expression and a harbinger of a crisis in the sphere, because if the distribution of goods, access to status, the use of essential goods, access to educational places of remembrance, and so on are perceived as 'unjust', then this indicates a 'crisis' in which a sphere can develop in a more just or more unjust direction.

Discourses of Justice - Indicators of Crises?

Answer in the Negative

When Anna Marie Hahn stepped off the train in Cincinnati back in 1929, nobody saw a killer coming. To her neighbors, she was just a sweet German immigrant, a devoted mom, and a hardworking neighborhood nurse who went out of her way to look after lonely, elderly bachelors.

But Anna had a dark side that was costing her a fortune: a massive gambling problem at the horse tracks.

When her luck ran out, she found a foolproof way to cover her losses. She'd move into an old man's life, cook his meals, clean his house, and work her charm until he signed over his savings or changed his will. Then, almost like clockwork, that old man would come down with a sudden, agonizing stomach bug.

From the first suspicious inheritance to the massive courtroom showdown that shocked the nation, Arsenic Anna tells the gritty, unvarnished true story of a master manipulator who gambled with human lives-and became the first woman executed in Ohio's electric chair.

Arsenic Anna

*Shortlisted for the Wainwright Prize* 'A fascinating exploration of the linkages between ancestral inheritance, diasporic belonging, and our climate future... I read it in one sitting, which took me on a moving and often unexpected journey' Aube Rey Lescure 'Part of me knew what the hungry ghosts wanted all along, what they still want. It is not vengeance. No, they want something else, but we refuse to listen. They want us to face up to our broken obligations.' Every spring during the Qingming Festival, people return to their home villages in China to sweep the tombs of their ancestors, making offerings of food and incense to prevent them from becoming hungry ghosts that could cause misfortune. Yet for the past century, a time ruptured by war and revolution, many tombs have been left unattended. Following a record year of wildfires, Alice Mah returns to her family's rice village in South China, and discovers that her ancestors are almost forgotten, and there are no tombs left to sweep. Instead, there are incalculable clan debts to be paid.Here Mah chronicles her journey from the rice villages of South China to her home in post-industrial England, through the Chinatowns of Western Canada where she grew up, to the isles and industry of Scotland where she now lives. As years pass and fires rage on, she becomes increasingly troubled by her ancestors' neglected graves. Her research on pollution gives way to growing eco-anxiety, culminating in a crisis of spiritual belief.A haunting blend of memoir, cultural history and environmental exploration, Red Pockets confronts the hungry ghosts of our neglected ancestors, while searching for an acceptable offering. What do we owe to past and future generations? What do we owe to the places that we inhabit?

An Offering

Red Pockets

“Shea Ernshaw is the queen of storytelling that is as haunting and dreamlike as it is intimate and grounded.” —Melissa Albert, New York Times bestselling author The second adult novel from New York Times bestselling author Shea Ernshaw, in which a woman rediscovers the mythical island she stumbled upon as a child—and the man she once met who apparently hasn’t aged—and must choose between the life she’s built and a love that defies the laws of time and nature. &gt; When the island vanishes overnight, Ellie is left questioning whether it ever existed at all. But decades later, the island resurfaces—and Ellie, now in her thirties, returns, determined to uncover the truth. What she finds is even stranger: Clay hasn’t aged a single day. Faced with the impossible, Ellie learns that some mysteries aren’t meant to be solved—and that a life shaped by wonder may hold more promise than one bound by certainty. Spanning centuries and coastlines, Habits of the Sea is a haunting, romantic journey through time, memory, and the invisible tides that pull us home.
