Ciara Hurley A meticulously researched historical thriller that breathes new life into the overlooked Women’s Timber Corps, melding wartime danger, female friendship and resilience against the challenges faced. Scott has achieved one of the hardest tasks for an ancient historian, this portrayal possessing accessibility, narrative zip and a desirable balance between the political and the personal. Benjamin Peel Swift delivers a fast-paced story that not only shows the barbarism of conflict but also humanity and resilience in the face of such adversity. It is a deeply moving novel that explores the unimaginably devastating choices that war brings. An engaging reassessment, which combines meticulous analysis of the primary sources with fresh interpretations to reveal the complex, ambitious and human character of England’s last Anglo-Saxon king. Ella Beales The Fourth Queen is a novel full of political intrigue, complex relationships, and a romance that spans the centuries. Effortlessly compelling and atmospheric. How England Began work steers away from one-dimensional approaches, focussing on exploiting multiple sources of information, without necessarily giving one more priority or credence over another. What we are left with is a detailed, yet accessible analysis of the years from the late 4th century to the 6th century. Ella Beales Lucy Ashe’s third historical thriller novel, exploring female autonomy, obsession, and the potentially perilous intimacy of psychotherapy. The Model Patient is both a love letter to psychotherapy’s healing potential and a critique of its ethical fragility.
