*******It is May in Chelsea, London. The glittering river is unusually high on an otherwise
ordinary afternoon. Adam Kindred, a young climatologist in town for a job interview,
ambles along the Embankment, admiring the view. He is pleasantly surprised to come
across a little Italian bistro down a leafy side street. During his meal he strikes up a
conversation with a solitary diner at the next table, who leaves soon afterwards.
With horrifying speed, this chance encounter leads to a series of malign accidents through
which Adam will lose everything - home, family, friends, job, reputation, passport, credit cards,
mobile phone - never to get them back. The police are searching for him. There is a reward for
his capture. A hired killer is stalking him. He is alone and anonymous in a huge, pitiless modern
city. Adam has nowhere to go but down - underground. He decides to join that vast army of the
disappeared and the missing that throng London's lowest levels as he tries to figure out what to
do with his life and struggles to understand the forces that have made it unravel so spectacularly.
His quest will take him all along the River Thames, from affluent Chelsea to the sink estates of the
East End, and on the way he will encounter all manner of London's denizens - aristocrats, prostitutes,
evangelists and policewomen amongst them - and version after new version of himself. William Boyd's
electric follow-up to Costa Novel of the Year Restless is a heart-in-mouth conspiracy novel about the
fragility of social identity, the corruption at the heart of big business, and the secrets that lie hidden
in the filthy underbelly of everyday city.

******Dawn French's debut novel, A Tiny Bit Marvellous, is told from three very different perspectives.
Yet each is a member of the Battle family - perfectly average, perfectly dysfunctional. Mo is about to hit
the big 50, and some uncomfortable truths are becoming quite apparent: she doesn't understand either
of her teenage children, which as a child psychologist, is fairly embarrassing. She has become entirely
grey. Inside, and out. Her face has surrendered, and is frightening children. Dora is about to hit the
big 18 . . . and about to hit anyone who annoys her, especially her precocious younger brother Peter
who has an incurable Oscar Wilde fixation.
A Tiny Bit Marvellous is the story of a modern family whose members all live in their own separate bubbles
sinking towards meltdown. It is for anyone who has ever shared a home with that weird
group of strangers we call 'relations'.

******In 1996 Dunmore won the first Orange prize for her haunting incest novel A Spell of Winter.
The Siege sold 100,000 copies and brought a different kind of success. With The Betrayal she has
spliced a rather cosy domestic story with the horrible history of Stalin's Russia, and written an
absorbing and thoughtful tale of good people in hard times.

******Major Brendan Archer returns from the Great War to claim his fiancee, whose family owns
the Majestic Hotel in Kilnalough, Ireland. She is strangely altered, however, along with the hotel,
which is in spectacular decline — cats roam its upper stories, the Palm Court is a jungle, and the
last guests are little old ladies with nowhere else to go. Outside the formerly grand hotel, the
British Empire also totters. There is unrest in the East, and Ireland itself senses the mounting
violence of its "troubles." J.G. Farrell is the author of The Siege of Krishnapur, winner of the
Booker Prize. "Remarkable.... Mr. Farrell deserves high praise for this novel. It is subtly modulated,
richly textured, sad, funny, and altogether memorable." — The Times Literary Supplement

******The book does something interesting and necessary. There is a danger with any book
on Williams of just further nailing down the received wisdom: that he was entirely morbid,
socially inadequate and consumed by guilt. What Stevens manages to do, even as he
throws out all the examples of The Fear, is retune the accepted facts a little and tell the
story not just of the melancholia but also of the happiness
Book of the Week Catherine of Aragon Henry's Spanish Queen 1.5 by Giles Tremlett

Book of the Week Catherine of Aragon Henry's Spanish Queen 3.5
Book of the Week Catherine of Aragon Henry's Spanish Queen 4.5
Book of the Week Catherine of Aragon Henry's Spanish Queen 5.5
******The image of Catherine of Aragon has always suffered in comparison to the vivacious
eroticism of Anne Boleyn. But when Henry VIII married Catherine, she was an auburn-haired
beauty in her 20s with a passion she had inherited from her parents, Isabella and Ferdinand,
the joint-rulers of Spain who had driven the Moors from their country. This daughter of
conquistadors showed the same steel and sense of command when organising the defeat of the Scots
at the Battle of Flodden and Henry was to learn, to his cost, that he had not met a tougher opponent on
or off the battlefield when he tried to divorce her.
Henry introduced 4 remarkable women into the tumultuous flow of England's history;
Catherine of Aragon and her daughter 'Bloody' Queen Mary; and Anne Boleyn and her daughter,
the Virgin Queen Elizabeth.'From this contest, between 2 mothers and 2 daughters, was born the religious
passion and violence that inflamed England for centuries' says David Starkey. Reformation, revolution and
Tudor history would all have been vastly different without Catherine of Aragon. Giles Tremlett's new biography
is the first in more than four decades to be dedicated entirely and uniquely to the tenacious woman whose
marriage lasted twice as long as those of Henry's five other wives put together. It draws on fresh material
from Spain to trace the dramatic events of her life through Catherine of Aragon's own eyes.

Book of the Week Chasing the Sun 5.5
******“Chasing the Sun is both a grand history of civilization and an irresistible account of an
around-the-world odyssey in search of an elusive moving target. Richard Cohen collects
fascinating stories with the exuberance and erudition of a Victorian explorer filling a curio
cabinet with rare specimens. This is an amazing tour de force.”
—Sylvia Nasar, author of A Beautiful Mind
“Chasing the Sun is quite an extraordinary book, which I absolutely loved. I found it impossible
to read in a few sittings, but sort of sat around regularly sunbathing in its information afterglow.
It’s a dazzling solar encyclopedia but also a fabulously provoking history of discoveries, dreams,
and delusions. I shall bask in its shimmering digressions, crazy cross-references,
and dizzy overviews for many moons.”—Richard Holmes, author of The Age of Wonder

******"Finishing the Hat is a show stopper! If you love Stephen Sondheim, hate him,
or never even heard of him, you'll still have a great ride—so take it! This book is filled
with humor, controversy, stories about talented and glamorous people and, above all, life.
And his lyrics! Everything you've ever wanted to know—
about anything—is in those lyrics." —Phyllis Newman
“There is so much to be learned and appreciated from Finishing the Hat. It's filled with fascinating,
entertaining, unique and compelling lessons from a man who encompasses the essence of what is
truly great about American Musical Theatre.” —Michael Feinstein

Book of the Week The Hemlock Cup Socrates, Athens and the Search for the Good Life 5.5
******“Bettany Hughes’s terrifically readable life of Socrates is more than just a life; it is also an
evocation and explanation of the world that created him, and over which he would come to have
such influence . . . The Hemlock Cup makes a vivid and persuasive case for the study of Socrates
as a valuable means to understanding how our way of thinking about our own world came to be,
and a guide to how we might understand it better.”

Book of the Week What I Don't Know About Animals 5.5
******What does Jenny Diski know about animals? She's really not sure. There is, however,
one thing of which she is certain: our relationships with and attitudes to animals are really
worth thinking about. In What I Don't Know About Animals, she shows why. She sets out
to investigate what she does and doesn't know about animals. She remembers the stuffed
cuddly creatures from her childhood; the animal books she read; the cartoons she watched;
the strays she found; the animals who have lived and still live with her; the animals she has
observed close up, and those she has feared.
She examines human beings, too, and the way in which they have looked at, studied, treated and written
about the non-human creatures with whom we share the planet. Subtle, intelligent and brilliantly
observed, What I Don't Know About Animals is an engaging look at what it means to be human ?
and what it means to be animal.

******When Jennings arrives at Linbury Court Preparatory School as a new boy, he soon discovers
how much he has to learn, especially when the other boys seem to be talking in a different language!
Spivish ozard! But it is not long before Jennings becomes a celebrity, following an intrepid escape
from the school grounds and a riotous attempt to enliven a fire practice, which leaves Old Wilkie
literally climbing the walls! From then on, every time Jennings gives trouble the elbow, a new
disaster trips him over. But only one thing really matters to J C T Jennings – his First Eleven debut.
When the long-awaited match arrives, Jennings certainly uses his head.

******Just before sailing off to war in the Sudan, British guardsman Harry Feversham quits
his regiment. He immediately receives four white feathers-symbols of cowardice-one each
from his three best friends and his fiance. To disprove this grave dishonor, Harry dons an
Arabian disguise and leaves for the Sudan, where he anonymously comes to the aid of his
three friends, saving each of their lives. Having proved his bravery, Harry returns to England,
hoping to regain the love and respect of his fiance. This suspenseful tale movingly depicts a
distinctive code of honor that was deeply valued and strongly promoted by the British during
the height of their imperial power.
