Haunting and elegant, Hausfrau is the exceptional debut
novel from the prize-winning American poet, Jill
Alexander Essbaum.
Anna was a good wife, mostly . . .
Anna Benz lives in comfort and affluence with her
husband and three young children in Dietlikon, a
picture-perfect suburb of Zurich. Anna, an American
expat, has chosen this life far from home; but, despite its
tranquility and order, inside she is falling apart.
Feeling adrift and unable to connect with her husband or
his family; with the fellow expatriates who try to
befriend her; or even, increasingly, her own thoughts
and emotions, Anna attempts to assert her agency in the
only way that makes sense to her: by engaging in shortlived but intense sexual affairs.
But adultery, too, has its own morality, and when Anna
finds herself crossing a line, she will set off a terrible
chain of events that ends in unspeakable tragedy. As her
life crashes down around her, Anna must then discover
where one must go when there is no going back . . .

gods used magic - or thaumaturgy - to create reality.
Now, under the oppression of the controlling classes,
that magic seems like a dream.
But things are changing in Caeli-Amur. Ancient
minotaurs arrive for the traditional Festival of the Sun
and New-Men bring wondrous technology from their
homeland. Hideously disfigured Wastelanders stream
into the city and strikes break out in the factory district.
Three very different people may hold the key to the
city's survival but only if they can put aside their own
personal vendettas.
The philosopher-assassin Kata has debts that need
settling and will do anything to ensure they're met - but
can she put a price on the ultimate betrayal? Meanwhile
the ambitious bureaucrat Boris Autec rises through the
ranks, turning his back on everything he once believed,
and soon his private life turns to ashes. Elsewhere, the
idealistic seditionist Maximilian resolves to overturn the
tyranny dominating the city, and hatches a mad plot to
unlock the secrets of the Great Library of Caeli Enas,
drowned in the fabled city at the bottom of the sea.
In a novel of startling originality and riveting suspense,
these three individuals risk everything for a future they
can only create by throwing off the shackles of tradition
and superstition. As their destinies collide, the
destruction will either transform the ancient city . . . or
ruin it.

the First World War through the lives of the poets who
fought at the front.
2014 marks the hundredth anniversary of the outbreak of
what many believed would be the war to end all wars.
And while the First World War devastated Europe, it
inspired profound poetry – words in which the
atmosphere and landscape of battle are evoked perhaps
more vividly than anywhere else.
The poets – many of whom were killed – show not only
the war’s tragedy but the hopes and disappointments of a
generation of men. In Some Desperate Glory, historian
and biographer Max Egremont gives us a transfiguring
look at the life and work of this assemblage of poets.
Wilfred Owen with his flaring genius; the intense,
compassionate Siegfried Sassoon; the composer Ivor
Gurney; Robert Graves who would later spurn his war
poems; the nature-loving Edward Thomas; the
glamorous Fabian Socialist Rupert Brooke; and the
shell-shocked Robert Nichols all fought in the war, and
their poetry is a bold act of creativity in the face of
unprecedented destruction.
Some Desperate Glory will include a chronological
anthology of their poems, with linking commentary,
telling the story of the war through their art. This unique
volume unites the poetry and the history of the war, so
often treated separately, granting readers the pride,
strife, and sorrow of the individual soldier’s experience
coupled with a panoramic view of the war’s toll on an
entire nation.

Michael Faraday, Charles Darwin and Charles Babbage.
It was her work with Babbage that led to her being
credited with the invention of computer programming
and to her name being adopted for the programming
language that controls the US military machine.
Ada personified the seismic historical changes taking
place over her lifetime. This was the era when fissures
began to open up in culture: romance split away from
reason, instinct from intellect, art from science. Ada
came to embody these new polarities and her life
heralded a new era: the machine age.
Reissued to coincide with the bicentenary of Ada's

New Orleans, 1919. As a dark serial killer - The Axeman stalks the city, three individuals set out to unmask him . . .
Though every citizen of the 'Big Easy' thinks they know who
could be behind the terrifying murders, Detective Lieutenant
Michael Talbot, heading up the official investigation, is
struggling to find leads. But Michael has a grave secret, and if
he doesn't get himself on the right track fast, it could be
exposed . . .
Former detective Luca d'Andrea has spent the last six years in
Angola state penitentiary, after Michael, his protégée, blew the
whistle on his corrupt behaviour. Now a newly freed man,
Luca is back working with the mafia, whose need to solve the
mystery of the Axeman is every bit as urgent as that of the
authorities.
Meanwhile, Ida is a secretary at the Pinkerton Detective
Agency. Obsessed with Sherlock Holmes and dreaming of a
better life, Ida stumbles across a clue which lures her and her
musician friend, Louis Armstrong, to the case - and into
terrible danger . . .
Publication: April 2015
As Michael, Luca and Ida each draw closer to discovering the
killer's identity, the Axeman himself will issue a challenge to
the people of New Orleans: play jazz or risk becoming the
next victim. And as the case builds to its crescendo, the sky
will darken and a great storm will loom over the city . . .

Paris; in the stifling August heat, Commandant Serge
Morel is called to a disturbing crime scene. An elderly
woman has been murdered to the soundtrack of Faure's
Requiem, her body then grotesquely displayed.
At first this strange case seems to offer few clues; and
Morel has problems of his own. His father - always a

senility; and he is unsettled by the reappearance of the
beautiful Mathilde, the woman he once loved. Only

Morel will find his enquiries leading him back into the

The lingering bars of the six-millennia old Prison of

searing fact of his own identity; the soaring joy of true

ultimately, the discovery and acceptance of his true self
and purpose in the realm of the cosmic enigma whom
some call the Oracle, and who calls itself Kaal – the

help her through her Awkward Adolescence, I dutifully
(and brilliantly) trained her at Obedience Class and in
the garden. And, hurrah! Honey's amazing talents shone
through just in time for our School Talent Content,
where we performed our 'Pup Idol' star act - and became
Famous Celebrities in Our Own Right!

realizes that it is also her dog Honey's birthday that
week - and therefore decides to plan a joint party. She
decides not to mention the whole 'puppy' part of the Plan
to anyone except her most bestest friend, Molly Cook.
Cut to party day and Utter Mayhem is slowly unfolding.
Someone tries a dog biscuit thinking it's a trendy new
kind of crisp; Honey and her doggy guests are tugging
on the tablecloth, tearing open presents and trashing the
house. Meanwhile April - who has been told to keep
away until the last minute - is becoming more and more
Over Dramatical and Suspicious. How will she react to
the canine takeover of her special day?

Doggy of Well-Behaved and Quietish Proportions.
Which is why it's so faberoony-tastic that Honey is
expecting her VERY OWN LITTER of pups! Now that
she is a mum-to-be, her eating habits have gone loopthe-loop crazy, and she keeps building Strange Nests all
over our house. Meanwhile, I am having to sort out my
sister's Love Dramas with her boyfriend, Nick the vet,
who has been spending rather a lot of time with his new
nurse, Felicity Shufflebottom. Will the arrival of
Honey's tiny pups make everyone happier or will our
household simply dissolve into Mayhem and Chaos?

Crowd actor Chris O'Dowd and his long-term friend
and Moone Boy TV-scriptwriting collaborator Nick
Vincent Murphy. For fans ofWimpy Kid and David
Walliams.
Successful film and TV star, Chris O' Dowd,
collaborates with friend and screenwriter Nick Vincent
Murphy in Moone Boy: The Blunder Years, the first in
this hilarious, illustrated series.
Martin Moone is eleven and completely fed up with
being the only boy in a family of girls. He's desperate
for a decent wingman to help him navigate his idiotic
life. So when best mate Padraic suggests Martin get an
imaginary friend - or 'IF' for short - he decides to give it
a go.
His first attempt is Loopy Lou, a hyperactive goofball
who loves writing rubbish rap songs. But Martin soon
gets fed up with Lou's loopiness and decides to trade in
his IF for someone a little less wacky. Enter Sean
'Caution' Murphy, an imaginary office clerk in a bad suit
with a passion for laziness and a head full of dodgy
jokes. Sean is full of tips and tricks to guide Martin
through the perils of the playground, from dealing with
his sisters' pranks to beating the bullying Bonner boys.
But getting rid of Lou is not that easy, and having TWO
imaginary friends is a recipe for trouble!
