  You came for Hades and Persephone and found yourself wanting the real myths. You want the original stories, sharp and strange, with the heartbreak still in them.
  
  This collection retells ten of the great Greek mythology love stories in full, each in its own chapter, with dialogue and a small cast of voices. Every myth opens in the middle of the action. You descend with Orpheus to bargain for Eurydice, you watch Psyche light the lamp she was told never to light, and you wait with Hero for a swimmer who may not reach her shore. Pygmalion, Echo and Narcissus, Ariadne and Dionysus, Alcestis, Pyramus and Thisbe, and Baucis and Philemon complete the set, told with warmth and wit. A short closing note explains which ancient versions were chosen and why.
  
  You finish knowing these lovers as the ancient poets wrote them, and why their stories still get retold. Press play and start with the god who stole a bride from a field of flowers.

  This is Not America

  Across the West, racial injustice has become a matter of urgency. Terms like 'critical race theory' and 'intersectionality' are everywhere and, in the rush to get it right, Britain has followed the lead of the world's dominant political power: America. But what if we've been looking in the wrong place? 
  In This is Not America, Tomiwa Owolade argues that too much of the debate around racism in Britain is viewed through the prism of American ideas that don't reflect the history, challenges and achievements of black communities at home. 
  Humane, empirical and passionate, this book promises to start a new conversation around race and, vitally, shed light on black British life today.

  Woman in the Nineteenth Century...

  Margaret Fuller

  The first book-length argument for women's independence written in America: that a woman needs no man's permission to think, that marriage as practised is a trade, and that the question is not what women may do but what they are. Fuller edited "The Dial" with Emerson and was the first woman allowed into the Harvard library; she expanded this from an essay in 1845 and drowned five years later within sight of shore. Her sentences are difficult and her case has not needed revising. Fifty-nine plates by painters including Mary Cassatt and Vilhelm Hammershøi follow women reading, resting and thinking in quiet interiors, a visual counterpart to Fuller's argument for the life of the mind.
