In 'Olive' by Dinah Maria Mulock Craik, the reader is immersed in a poignant tale of a young woman's journey through personal growth and self-discovery. The novel is characterized by its intricate character development and exploration of social issues, such as the role of women in Victorian society. Craik's lyrical prose invites readers to contemplate the complexities of human emotions and relationships, making 'Olive' a timeless piece of literature that continues to captivate audiences today. Set in the literary context of the 19th century, the novel reflects the changing attitudes towards women and their place in society during that time. It is a beautifully crafted work that combines elements of romance, drama, and social commentary to create a thought-provoking narrative. Dinah Maria Mulock Craik, a prolific British author, infuses 'Olive' with her own experiences and observations of society, providing readers with a nuanced and insightful perspective on the challenges faced by women of her era. Her expertise in exploring the human psyche and underlying social issues shines through in this powerful novel. I highly recommend 'Olive' to readers who appreciate masterfully crafted characters, engaging storytelling, and thought-provoking themes that resonate across generations.

    Read by the author, Harry Josephine Giles.Them! by Harry Josephine Giles is a challenging and subversive collection of poems about trans life as it is lived today, through the lenses of work, technology and ecology.Witty, candid, furious, and always compelling, Them! negotiates the fraught and fruitful space between the worlds of ‘online’ and the ‘outside’, and how they fuse and diverge in the imagination.Giles’ visual poetics create an unusually dynamic reading experience as she finds new ways ‘to sing, shout and strike in the cracks of what’s possible’. At a time when trans rights are to the fore in public discourse, Them! is a zestful poetic intervention from one of this generation’s most necessary poets.
