VLondon, UK

@ThomsonRadio

The true story of how a besieged Syrian town found hope.

Down in the basement of a bombed building in Daraya there is a secret library. No signs mark its presence, because in a war zone, books are dangerous.

More than 14,000 books are neatly stacked, arranged according to author and subject. They are checked in and out meticulously. Those within read quietly, drinking tea on comfortable sofas and chairs. For them, the library is a symbol of hope, a symbol of the determination of ordinary people to have a meaningful existence and to rebuild their fractured society.

We Were Killers OnceBecky Masterman VArizona, USA

Everyone knows who killed the Clutters. But who murdered the Walker family?

In 1959, the Walker family murders shook Florida. 587 people were considered suspects – but sixty years later the investigation remains unsolved.

Former FBI agent Brigid Quinn is trying to enjoy life after work. But when the Walker case comes up, she’s only too happy to postpone retirement.

Quinn is reluctant to draw comparisons with another case of the time: the Clutter family murders, made infamous by Capote’s In Cold Blood. But the similarities are impossible to ignore, and perhaps Perry Smith and Dick Hickock, executed at the time, weren’t acting alone – in both cases.

VLondon, UK

@DeborahJaneOrr

A sharp, unflinching memoir about the long shadow cast when the core relationship in your life compromises every effort you make to become an individual.

When Deborah Orr left Motherwell – the town she both loved and hated – for university, her mother, Win, railed against the decision. Win had little agency in the world, every choice determined by the men in her life. And strangely, she wanted the same for her daughter. But while she managed to escape, Deborah’s severing from her family was superficial. She continued to travel back to Motherwell, fantasizing about the day that Win might come to accept her as good enough. Though, of course, it was never meant to be.

deborah orr is an award-winning journalist, whose work has regularly appeared in the Guardian, the Independent, the Sunday Times and in many magazines. Motherwell is her first book.

An explosive popular science book that challenges the idea that we are all discrete individuals, physically, psychologically and culturally.

The Self Delusion makes the bold claim that our idea of the indivisible individual is in fact false:

x Most of our 37.2 trillion cells are made anew every few weeks

x Our molecules have been component parts of countless other organisms

x Our bodies are more than half non-humanx And our thoughts and actions mainly originate from other

people

Tom Oliver explains that we have a better chance of facing the challenges ahead if we can instead understand the complex connections between us.

@AmyMcLellan2

How do you find a killer when you can’t recognise a face?

Last night my sister was murdered. The police think I killed her.

I was there. I watched the knife go in. I saw the man who did it.

And heard him laugh when he said he’d never be caught.

Because he knows I have prosopagnosia – I can’t recognise faces.

And if I don’t find the man who killed my sister, I’ll be found guilty of murder.

Emily-Atack

To indignity… and beyond!

A warm, redemptive, honest, authentic, FUNNY book about life, love and realising that you’re good enough.

Emily Atack was flung to fame at just seventeen in The Inbetweeners. Almost ten years later, she won over the nation on I’m a Celebrity… Get Me out of Here! with her cracking impersonations, epic bravery in the Bushtucker trials and general positivity.

Now, in her first book, Emily digs deep and reveals the hilarious highs and the heartbreaking lows that rocked the years between. Are We There Yet? is a warm, honest, funny book that shows us we are all enough just as we are.

emily atack is an actress best-known for her recurring role on The Inbetweeners. In 2018 she came second on ITV’s I’m a Celebrity… Get Me out of Here!


The High Nest Roxanne van Iperen

@pleitschrijver

The life-affirming, true story of female bravery, Jewish Nazi resistance and surviving the horrors of Auschwitz.

During the Second World War, two Jewish sisters – Janny and Lien Brilleslijper – ran one of the largest hideaways in the Netherlands: The High Nest.

After Roxane and her family moved into The High Nest in 2012 she spent six years writing and piecing together its story through the eyes of two strong women who were part of the Dutch Jewish resistance and survivors of the Nazi death camp.

The author’s novelistic eye combined with her rigorous research result in a hugely compelling portrayal of human resilience. roxanne van iperen lives in The High Nest and has spent the last decade investigating its history and also the lives – and fates – of the people who lived and hid there.
