  A History of Modern Britain

  A History of Modern Britain by Andrew Marr confronts head-on the victory of shopping over politics. It tells the story of how the great political visions of New Jerusalem or a second Elizabethan Age, rival idealisms, came to be defeated by a culture of consumerism, celebrity and self-gratification. In each decade, political leaders thought they knew what they were doing, but find themselves confounded. Every time, the British people turn out to be stroppier and harder to herd than predicted. Throughout, Britain is a country on the edge – first of invasion, then of bankruptcy, then on the vulnerable front line of the Cold War and later in the forefront of the great opening up of capital and migration now reshaping the world. This history follows all the political and economic stories, but deals too with comedy, cars, the war against homosexuals, Sixties anarchists, oil-men and punks, Margaret Thatcher’s wonderful good luck, political lies and the true heroes of British theatre. It accompanies a major five-part documentary series for BBC television.

  The Parts of Him I Kept - The...

  Winner of 2026 PenCraft Book Award for Nonfiction Memoir. 
   
  "The work offers a welcome wealth of insights into the challenges of living with mental illness. An engrossing debut memoir." - Kirkus Editors Pick  
   
  Best Books of 2025 of the Hudson Valley by Chronogram Magazine. 
   
  One cold night in April, Natasha William’s father drove his car into the frigid water of New York Bay with her two-year-old half-sister in the backseat.  The headline in The New York Post read: Back from a Watery Grave. 
  But Natasha’s experiences growing up with her schizophrenic father in the gritty New York City of the 1970s are not so easily captured in a single headline. How could she possibly convey the power of her father’s love in the face of this tragedy? 
  William’s memoir, THE PARTS OF HIM I KEPT (Apprentice House. 2025), is an intimate account of a daughter’s coming of age in the face of her father’s schizophrenic unraveling. Williams investigates the limits of our medical and cultural understanding of schizophrenia while chronicling the shared burden and benefits of caring for a mentally ill family member. In the tradition of Ocean Vuong’s On Earth We Are Briefly Gorgeous and Robert Kolker’s Hidden Valley Road, this is one family’s story that illuminates ways we find hope, and even thrive in the face of the extraordinary challenge of mental illness. 
  "Natasha Williams has written an extraordinary memoir of growing up with a schizophrenic father ... as emotionally wrenching (and occasionally terrifying) as you would expect, but it is also funny, wise, beautifully observed and astonishingly tender." –James Lasdun, Author of Victory. 
  “Read the first thirty pages of The Parts of Him I Kept, and I bet you would cancel your own wedding to read the rest of it. Natasha Williams has a hell of a story to tell, and she writes like an angel.” -Abigail Thomas, Author of Still Life at Eighty.
