Lady Chatterley’s Lover by D. H. Lawrence is recognised as one of the most famous and impactful literary novels of the 20th century. Many countries found it too shocking to publish initially.

Cuthbertson provides a vivid account of the novel’s hundred-year odyssey, exploring its worldwide readership, adaptations, and reinventions, while also highlighting the 1960 “Chatterley trial”, a crucial juncture in the advocacy for freedom of expression.

​The Chinese proverb ‘eat bitter’ translates to ‘enduring hardship to taste sweetness.’

To Lydia, this represents the hardships of her Hakka ancestors, an oppressed Chinese ethnic minority whose resourcefulness formed a culinary tradition based on pickling and gathering.  Through eight recipes, she illustrates how food serves as both memory and medicine, recalling the silly egg noodles her father cooked for her ill sister and the bone broth she made in New York while homesick.

In an irresistible fusion of memoir, food writing, and self-help, Pang transforms the idea of “eating bitter” into a philosophy for confronting her own difficulties.

A distinct energy emerges when cafes and shops close and darkness falls.

Around 400 years ago, nightlife as we know it began to form when music, fashion, sex, architecture, art, and alcohol converged in a remote marshland near Japan’s Shogun’s capital. Nightlife, with a few adjustments, has remained at the forefront of cultural innovation since then.

This captivating book pulsates with the vibrant energy of the night, while posing the question: in our increasingly digital lives, what do we lose when we skip the opportunity for a memorable night out?

With chronic pain as a constant, and a pandemic unfolding, the narrator delves into the tangible and figurative functions of the mouth within a writer’s life.

Nelson employs her sublime, measured and signature prose to depict a tragicomic pursuit of solace, a journey that ultimately transforms into a reckoning with every imaginable kind of loss.

​As 1986 began, New York City experienced a significant transformation, shifting from an economy reliant on manufacturing and unions to one dominated by global finance. But, it was also a city in a deep state of division, marked by escalating poverty, addiction, and racial tensions.

A unique combination of events, such as the Tompkins Square Riots and the AIDS epidemic, and memorable figures like Ed Koch, Donald Trump, and Rudy Giuliani, would deepen those divisions significantly.

Mahler’s lively and multifaceted work chronicles these tumultuous, pivotal years, providing a deeply absorbing portrayal of a city in flux.

Japan’s trees enchant visitors. 

But as a child, writer Aya Koda recognised trees are more than merely beautiful things; she realised we depend on them just as they depend on us.

This delicate and mesmeric book, translated into English for the first time, belongs to the Japanese genre of zuihitsu, meaning ‘following the brush.’

As we follow Koda’s exploration of Japan’s most magnificent trees, we come to appreciate how they reflect our own identities and that each one of them has a unique story to tell.

Brexit gave the white working class power as a group, but now those people are seen as a joke, often labelled as resistant to change and xenophobic.

An essential element of modern British culture, the seaside holiday was tied to the train, moving travellers from smog-heavy cities to sandy coastal spots.

Filled with humour, this book is a delightful and nostalgic journey into Britain’s most cherished recreation.
