'What makes this brilliant, considered book worthwhile is not its breadth but how thoughtful it is.' Financial Times 'The book is stunning. He is an extraordinary writer. Such erudition. Wisdom. Humanity. And humour. ' Fergal Keane, BBC News Tim Franks spent years as the BBC's Middle East Correspondent covering Israel and the occupied Palestinian territories. During that time, he was attacked as a self-hating Jew and as an Islamophobe - as a tool of competing, malign agendas. He always tried to respond with a journalist's detached curiosity, drawing a clear line between his identity and his work. Up to the point that he asked himself: is that necessary? Beyond the judgments of others: what does it mean to be Jewish? It was a question he struggled to answer. As a child in 1970s Birmingham, Tim was a practising Jew with hardly any relations or sense of lineage. And so he embarked on a search for his ancestral roots, from Constantinople to Curaçao, from Amsterdam to the death camps, from Lithuania to Downing Street. Framing each part of his journey through what he has learned as a journalist, Tim discovers ancestors who all speak to a part of the Jewish story: there are the refugees and the risk-takers; the artists, rabbis, soldiers and revolutionaries; there is even a route to the Conservative Party's unlikeliest leader, Benjamin Disraeli. This book is a deeply empathetic memoir which encourages us all to confront the lines we draw.

Little Women: Deluxe Painted Edition

"In her trusted loaded-up minivan 'Minnie,' E.A. Hanks follows the same route as a long-ago road trip with her mother in an attempt to better understand the complicated woman who gave her life. Along the way, as she follows her mother's diaries and her own recollections of the route, she begins to uncover secrets--some unexpectedly wonderful, and others darker and more violent than she ever imagined--that bring more questions than answers. From the quiet expanses of White Sands National Park to the bustling streets of New Orleans, and the Texas-Mexico border to the swamps of the Florida panhandle, she interacts with the amazing breadth and diversity of the people that call these places home. Reckoning with the past, the present, her memories, and herself, Hanks brings us along a ... voyage towards understanding how the stories we tell about the places we're from ultimately become the stories we tell about the people we are"

'Rich, moving and wryly funny... a delight' Observer *Graphic Novel of the Month* 'Brilliant, witty and endlessly inventive' Joe Dunthorne, author of Submarine A road-trip across Europe and back in time: the debut graphic memoir from the prize-winning author of A Funeral In Freiburg. When her imperious, chain-smoking German Jewish grandmother dies, it falls to Astrid and her father to drive a hire van to the Black Forest and collect the family heirlooms from Gisela's nicotine-stained apartment. In Freiburg, they are faced with several lifetimes' worth of belongings to sort through - infested Persian rugs, mysterious photographs, a toy monkey that started a marriage - and a grasping landlord, impatient to renovate. As the list of demands from uncles, sisters and cousins grows longer, the rabbit-holes of history and memory grow deeper. Long-buried secrets and tales of survival are revealed - from Nazi Germany to colonial Africa - and old feuds are reignited, as father and daughter struggle with the responsibility of preserving the family legacy. More importantly, will they be able to fit everything into a medium wheel-base transit van? Funny, bittersweet and beautifully drawn, The Crystal Vase is an odyssey of family arguments, identity crises, and late discoveries.

"A mind-bending, heart-wrenching adventure to unravel a curse as intricate as any lacework. Unforgettable!" - Ava Morgyn, author of The Bane Witch A witch generationally cursed to never find true love sets out to break the spell cast on her family, and must team up with the last person who wants to help her - the witch who set the curse in the first place. Doreen MacKinnon is doomed to die of a broken heart - if she can't break the centuries old curse placed on her family. Three hundred years ago, Ambrose MacDonald, a powerful male witch, fell in love with a MacKinnon. And when the MacKinnon witches forbade him from seeing his love, by secretly hiding her away, he retaliated by cursing the family and its future generations to never find love. But it wasn't without a cost. Now, Ambrose is imprisoned by those same witches, trapped in a tempest and doomed to outlive everyone he has ever loved. But Doreen isn't like the other MacKinnon witches. As the 13th generation of the MacKinnon line, Doreen is one of the most powerful witches in centuries... and one of the loneliest. So when she discovers where Ambrose has been trapped, she releases him to help her break the curse, once and for all. Ambrose agrees to help, but with his own motive: vengeance. He plans to use her as bait to enact his revenge on her family. Together, they enter a series of trials, which take them to a castle in Scotland, off a cliff, and into a world beyond their wildest dreams. As they work together, sparks start to fly, but soon Doreen must choose how far she is willing to go to break the curse, and what she's willing to sacrifice. Paige Crutcher's A Circle of Uncommon Witches is a story of adventure, romance, and destiny, that asks: is true love worth the cost?

A witch cursed to never find true love sets out to break the spell, and must team up with the last person who wants to help her - the witch who set the curse in the first place.

Untold Lessons

Wry and exhilarating, Chutzpah is a fearless exploration of what is possible when one person simply refuses to choose between abandoning their roots and abandoning themselves. LONGLISTED FOR THE 2026 WINGATE PRIZE "Clear-sighted and courageous, with an extremely dry sense of humour" DAVID BADDIEL, author of Jews Don't Count "Delightfully written: wry, moving, controlled, with a great instinct for pace and telling detail" TLS "A gutting, brave story, written with exquisite candour." Dr. Sara Glass, author of Kissing Girls on Shabbat Yehudis Fletcher was six years old when she decided to find out if there was actually a G-d. One Sabbath evening, she dared to defy a fundamental rule. She didn't wash her hands before breaking bread. At the table, Yehudis braced herself for a terrible, biblical punishment: being swallowed by the ground or consumed by fire. But nothing happened. It was at this moment that she discovered a spark within that would grow to make her invincible. As the daughter of a rabbi raised in an Orthodox Jewish community, Yehudis struggled to conform to the strict expectations placed upon her and her siblings. Outspoken, curious and desperate to know more about G-d, she felt fenced in by arbitrary rules and questions left unanswered. As she grew older, these restrictions intensified and her questions for G-d hung heavier than ever. Repeatedly let down by those who were supposed to protect her and pushed on to a path that seemed to take her further away from who she really was, she began to yearn for a life where she could embrace all facets of herself. When Yehudis's sexuality came to blows with the expectations of her family and her community, the pressure to inhabit a binary position reached fever pitch. Confronted with either losing the faith she loved or losing herself, Yehudis made the most daring decision of all: she decided to stay. "Chutzpah is a brilliant and fascinating insight into an ultra-orthodox Jewish community." Harriet Wistrich, author of Sister in Law "Yehudis's resilience is truly inspirational." Ashley Blaker, author of Normal Schmormal

'A total treat - bravo' Sunday Times 'A spectacular, dizzying romp' Alison Bechdel, Fun Home Outrageous, passionate and glamourous - a stunning graphic biography of the six sisters who blazed their way through the 20th century, beguiling their peers, the press and then the rest of the world As a young girl living in sun-bleached 1960s suburban California, Mimi Pond fell in love with the Mitford sisters. Nancy, Pamela, Diana, Unity, Jessica and Deborah Mitford brought society glitz, pageantry, scandal, and real (rainy) weather to her own prosaic life. High society debutantes known for rubbing shoulders with some of history's most infamous fascists and communists, the sisters were also, in turn, gifted writers, inveterate nicknamers, chicken-raising homebodies, scathing wits, and passionate adventurers in the maelstrom of the 20th century. Drawn with inimitable artistic flair and a mischievous affinity for the decadent and grandly declining aristocracy, Mimi Pond brings the Mitfords to life in this glittering and lovingly researched family biography. **Delight your loved ones with this perfect festive gift**

'I couldn't put it down' RUKMINI IYER'I loved this book so much... Think: The Body Keeps the Score in practice not theory' ELLA RISBRIDGERSamantha's mother tongue is dying out. An urgent need to find out more becomes an expansive investigation into how to keep hold of her culture - and when to let it goThe daughter of Iraqi Jewish refugees, Samantha grew up surrounded by the noisy, vivid, hot sounds of Judeo-Iraqi Arabic. A language that's now on the verge of extinction. The realisation that she won't be able to tell her son he's 'living in the days of the aubergines' or 'chopping onions on my heart' opens the floodgates. The questions keep coming. How can she pass on the stories without passing on the trauma of displacement? Will her son ever love mango pickle?In her search for answers Samantha encounters demon bowls, the perils of kohl and the unexpected joys of fusion food. Her journey transports us from the clamour of Noah's Ark to the calm of the British Museum, from the Oxford School of Rare Jewish Languages to the banks of the River Tigris. As Samantha considers what we lose and keep, she also asks what we might need to let go of to preserve our culture and ourselves. This is a life-affirming memoir about resilience and repair, and the healing power of dancing to our ancestors' music, cooking up their recipes and sharing their stories. 'A moving and resonant lament for the past but also a thought-provoking siren call for the future' ANNE SEBBA'Urgent, alive, propulsive. I adored it' MARINA BENJAMIN
