  A Scottish saga of grit and determination from Sunday Times betselling author Evelyn Hood 
  Will holding on to the business she has inherited mean a future without love? 
  Port Glasgow, Scotland 1930 
  Morag Weir’s young life is full of responsibilities: caring for the ailing Sander Weir, the man who has raised her as his daughter; whilst managing his household and shipping business. 
  When Sander Weir dies, his brother Lawrence is outraged to learn that Morag will inherit Sander’s large home as well as a controlling interest in his shipping firm. 
  Complicating matters, Lawrence is Morag’s real father – having abandoned her when he remarried when Morag was six years old. Despite his past fickleness, Lawrence feels he has the right to control Morag’s new-found wealth. 
  As the business flounders, Morag must fight and find the courage to defy Lawrence and resist his efforts to overturn his brother’s will and also wrestle control from the unscrupulous men who wish to take the business from her. 
  While everyone around her is finding love, the man Morag has fallen for seems to want nothing more than a professional relationship. 
  Can hard work prevail and will Morag find a balance at work and with her love life? 
  Storytelling at its best, Evelyn Hood is the original bestselling Scottish saga writer.

  When the Village Sleeps is a visionary novel that explores the loss of identity and dignity in a people afflicted by decades of brokenness.Told through the lives and spirits of four generations of amaTolo women, including The Old, who speak wisdom with ever-increasing urgency, it moves between the bustling township setting of Kwanele and the different rhythms of rural village life.Longlisted for the 2022 Sunday Times Literary Awards, When the Village Sleeps recalls the sweeping sagas of the great A.C. Jordan and the Dhlomo brothers while boldly exploring urgent contemporary issues. An ode to the complex strengths of South African women, this powerful novel is also a call to respect the earth that nurtures human life and to live in self-sufficiency and harmony with the environment and each other.Magona's storytelling invokes the poetry of S.E.K. Mqhayi as it sets in motion the proverb "It takes a village to raise a child." When the Village Sleeps is a compelling tale that will resonate with readers seeking a deeper understanding of South African culture, family dynamics, and the resilience of the human spirit.

  Arnold Bennett was born in 1867 in Hanley one of the six towns that formed the Potteries that later joined together to become Stoke on Trent; the area in which most of his works are located. For a short time he worked for his solicitor father before realising that to advance his life he would need to become his own man. Moving to London at twenty-one he obtained work as a solicitor’s clerk and gradually moved into a career of journalism. At the turn of the century he turned full time to writing and shortly thereafter in 1903 he moved to Paris and in 1908 published to great acclaim The Old Wives Tale. With this his reputation was set. Clayhanger and The Old Wives Tale are perhaps his greatest and most lauded novels.

  Colton Gray doesn't look like your typical deputy marshal. He's too young and good-looking for a West Texas lawman. At least that's what his boss thinks. As captain, Marshal John Timmons feels this new kid Colton isn't up to the job—at least not yet—so he sends him on minor assignments to keep him out of Boot Hill. But to everyone's surprise, young Colton manages to track down Eli Doolin and Casey Tubbs, the notorious "Old Man Bank Robbers." Not only that, he claims he gunned them down in a shootout, earning high praise from the West Texas chief marshal's office. And a legend is born . . . 
   
   
   
  But there's a hitch to the story: Colton Gray lied. 
   
   
   
  Truth is, he never killed Doolin and Tubbs—not after learning the righteous reasons behind their crimes. Instead, he let those good old boys go free, as long as they promised to stop robbing banks. Sure, Colton may have bent the rules a little. But Colton knows he did the right thing. Sometimes a man has to forge his own path on the road to justice—even if that means going outside the law. Or lying to your boss. In his heart of hearts, Colton Gray knows he was born for the job of US deputy marshal. And sometimes that job gets a little dirty . . .
