Sophia, Safa, Ella, Ajola and Caoimhe have been friends since school. They are difficult, unlikeable women; funny, sharp and clever ones - the sort that would have probably ended up burned at the stake a few hundred years ago. When one of them is about to be framed for murder, they inextricably bind their fates together via some bin bags, a spade and a promise never to tell. They decide to separate to ensure the safety of their secret, leaving each of them to navigate the daily challenges of womanhood alone. But when an anonymous blackmailer threatens to expose them years later, the group must come back together to get their stories straight - and find out who is behind their torment. But is it already too late?

Did you love Madeline Miller's Circe? Pat Barker's Silence of the Girls? Jennifer Saint's Elektra? Natalie Haynes' A Thousand Ships? But did you ever wonder who the real women behind the myths of the Trojan War were? Now award-winning classicist and ancient historian Emily Hauser takes readers on an epic journey to uncover the astonishing true story of the real women behind ancient Greece's greatest legends - and the real heroes of those ancient epics, Homer's Iliad and Odyssey. Because, contrary to perceptions built up over three millennia, ancient history is not all about men - and it's not only men's stories that deserve to be told . . . In Mythica Emily Hauser tells, for the first time, the extraordinary stories of the real women behind some of the western world's greatest legends. Following in their footsteps, digging into the history behind Homer's epic poems, piecing together evidence from the original texts, recent astonishing archaeological finds and the latest DNA studies, she reveals who these women - queens, mothers, warriors, slaves - were, how they lived, and how history has (or has not - until now) remembered them. A riveting new history of the Bronze Age Aegean and a journey through Homer's epics charted entirely by women - from Helen of Troy, Briseis, Cassandra and Aphrodite to Circe, Athena, Hera, Calypso and Penelope - Mythica is a ground-breaking reassessment of the reality behind the often-mythologized women of Greece's greatest epics, and of the ancient world itself as we learn ever more about it.

Three decades after it first appeared on screen, Father Ted is still cherished, quoted and endlessly re-watched. Its beloved main characters, unforgettable lines and extraordinary visual jokes have given birth to a thousand gifs and t-shirts and a million catchphrases. Unforgettable to watch, it was also unforgettable to work on. Lissa Evans, as producer of the second and third series, spent three years hovering anxiously over every moment, from the first glimpse of script to the last revolution of a runaway milk-float round a specially-built plywood roundabout. There was no 'average Father Ted episode' - each of them was stuffed with challenges; endless rain, lustful rabbits, clerics crashing through windows, sheep doubles, collapsing crosses and a never-ending stream of eccentric priests - and the work that went into its creation was often nearly as bizarre as what was happening on screen. Picnic on Craggy Island is a hugely affectionate and anecdotal account of what lay behind some of those moments of comic genius - so pull on your kagoule, spread out your blanket, unwrap the sandwiches (they're all egg) and enjoy the picnic...

It is the bird that uplifts our wintered hearts, with that first two-note 'cuk-koo' unmistakable as it sounds across the country.In The Curious Life of the Cuckoo, John Lewis-Stempel explains one of nature's greatest enigmas in vivid, lyrical prose, and celebrates this iconic bird.Praise for John Lewis-Stempel'His immense, patient powers of observation - along with a flair for the anthropomorphic - mean he is able to offer a portrait of animal life that's rare in its colour and drama.' - Observer'Engaging, closely-observed and beautiful ... this author's deep love of the world around him is as inspiring as it is entertaining.' - Daily Mail'That John Lewis-Stempel is one of the best nature writers of his generation is undisputed.' - Country Life'John Lewis-Stempel is the hottest nature writer around.' - Spectator'It's his observation of the natural world - the sight, the sound, the smell of it - that is so memorable.
