From domineering mothers and very modern daughters to the quiet dreamers on either side of the generational divide, this anthology sketches a joyous, fraught, and ultimately tender portrait of mother-daughter relationships throughout the 20th century. These are the stories of a mother who helps dispatch her daughter's unwanted suitor, a daughter who enters a sanatorium and starts to question if her mother really wants her to get better, and the glorious chaos that descends on a woman's quiet country cottage when her daughters return home for a weekend. Across the decades, women writers return to perpetual teenage daughters that rebel perpetually against maternal tradition and mothers who start to see their own mothers' shadows on the wall. Brought together in this collection is a moving testament to the inextricable and ineffable bond between mothers and daughters, in all its lovely and imperfect forms. This new anthology brings together the creative minds of: Phyllis Bottome Richmal Crompton E. M. Delafield Winifred Holtby and Sylvia Townsend Warner

The Real Charles Dickens is an insightful look into the world of the life and work of the great 19th-century writer. Dickens led one of the most colourful and interesting lives of any author and this book delves into his difficult early life, his emergence as a major novelist, his troubled marriage and suspected relationship with another woman, his trips abroad to Italy and the United States, his late blossoming as a theatrical performer and his work as a social reformer. The book takes a detailed look at each of his major works, tracing the development of his fiction through one of the most productive periods of world literature. To complement this are original photographs of locations associated with Dickens and the opportunity to follow in his footsteps with some expertly crafted walks around the parts of London most associated with him. There are sections on Dickens’ enduring relationship with the theatre and one detailing the ten children that he and his wife Catherine had together. From his first foray into serialised novels, The Pickwick Papers, to his last, great, unfinished work, The Mystery of Edwin Drood, each of his books is given special attention. Full of biographical detail and analytical insight, The Real Charles Dickens takes the reader on a journey into the heart of the world that nurtured some of the greatest stories ever written.

Mainly covering the mid-1960s to the mid-1980s, this collection of images offers a fascinating survey of one of the iconic locomotives of twentieth-century Britain: the Class 40. A common sight in Scotland and the north of England in the latter part of the century, the Class 40 continues to capture the imagination of railway enthusiasts everywhere. Used to haul both heavy freight and passenger trains, this book captures a locomotive at the peak of its powers, with previously unpublished images showing Class 40s both at work and rest.The vast majority of the photographs in this book were taken by the late Keith Holt. He was brought up in West Yorkshire and, like many youngsters at that time, developed an interest in railways as he cycled around the West Riding to visit places of interest. He always took photographs, including many of the iconic Class 40 locomotives. This book serves as a fitting tribute to his longstanding interest in the railways, and reflects the varied work carried out by the Class 40.

To the outside world, Jacques Dumont masquerades as the friendly, unassuming harbour master of the Royal Flandrian Yacht Club. The visiting sailors and their families marvel at the way he easily converses in their various native languages, yet none are aware of how he became so fluent. For beneath his charismatic façade, there are secrets Jacques has buried deep. Secrets that tell of a life resisting the forces of tyranny and oppression, suffering the torments of loss and heartbreak – the cries of his beloved daughter, cruelly torn from her loving parents – still haunting his dreams. How ironic, then, that the same authority who took his beloved daughter should anoint him as a war hero, celebrating his bravery as a member of the Belgian resistance against the Nazi regime in WWII. Follow the life of Jacques Dumont, coming-of-age amidst the majestic wilderness and colonial racism of the Belgian Congo, where his character is forged and his heart broken. Journey with him across war-torn Europe as he evades capture for stealing precious classified intelligence, relying on his determination, ingenuity and luck to escape. And feel his sorrow in the aftermath of war, as Jacques returns to the tranquillity of Ostend, where one final secret remains to be revealed.

'In this incredibly moving must-read, Simon shares his journey through immense grief and pain, and shows us how hope can spring from the darkest of times' Fearne CottonIn November 2017, Simon Thomas's life was thrown into turmoil. His wife, Gemma, died suddenly from acute myleloid leukaemia. Left to care for their young son, Ethan, on his own, he resigned from Sky Sports, and put all his efforts into helping them both through the most difficult year of their lives. In 2019 he published the first edition of this book, in which – with searing honesty – he recounted that first year of loss and grief that he felt not only for himself, but also for his son Ethan.But grief evolves; its rawness becomes less brutal and time offers space to reflect, to consider what has passed and to recognize that our experience with grief itself changes. In 2020 Simon launched a new podcast, Life, Interrupted, in which he interviews both celebrities and those not well-known, whose lives have been radically changed by a traumatic event. The podcast was the inspiration to revisit this book; and with the benefit of time, to reflect on what he has learned since Gemma's death.This is not an A-Z on how to cope with grief: it is a father and son's journey down grief's bumpy road as they begin to find a reason to live again. Love, Interrupted shows that however much the darkness closes in, however bereft of hope life can sometimes feel, there is always light, love and life to be found.This updated and revised edition includes Simon's Reflections from a Distance, written four years after the original edition was published; he contemplates hope, recovery and happiness.
