    Dorothy Kathleen Broster was born on 2nd September 1877 at Devon Lodge in Grassendale Park, Garston, Liverpool. 
    At 16, the family moved to Cheltenham, where she attended Cheltenham Ladies' College and then on to St Hilda’s College, Oxford to read history, where she was one of the first female students, although at this time women were not awarded degrees. 
    Broster served as secretary to Charles Harding Firth, a Professor of History for several years, and collaborated on several of his works. Her first two novels were co-written with a college friend, Gertrude Winifred Taylor. 
    With the Great War interrupting her literary ambitions she served as a Red Cross nurse at a Franco-American hospital, but returned to England with a knee infection in 1916.  
    After the war, she moved near to Battle in East Sussex and took up writing full-time.  
    In 1920 she at last received her Bachelor of Arts and Master of Arts from Oxford. 
    Her novels, mainly historical fiction, peaked in popularity with ‘The Flight of the Heron’, in 1925, a best-seller followed up by two sequels. 
    As well as poetry and various articles she also wrote several short stories, the best known of which is a classic of weird fiction ‘The Couching at the Door’ in which an artist appears to be haunted by a mysterious entity. 
    An intensely private individual many readers deduced from her name that she was both a man and Scottish. 
    D K Broster died in Bexhill Hospital on 7th February 1950.  She was 73.

    Anne Marie Allen was fifteen when she was accepted onto a cookery school course that promised real qualifications and a future in the career of her dreams. Seeking a better life, she moved to the calm and peaceful countryside of the west of Ireland. However, her happiness was short-lived as it became clear she had been tricked instead into a life of domestic servitude to the members of the Opus Dei cult.
    She was then whisked away to Rome where she signed her life away with vows to serve. What followed were years of misery in slavery, forced celibacy and traumatic physical suffering under an ambitious and tyrannical institution that demanded perfection, humiliation and pain.
    Eventually her family managed to coerce a visit home where they refused to let her return to the Order, and where they began the long process of deprogramming Anne Marie –  a task that has been a life-long struggle. Serve is a truly remarkable story of strength and resilience in the face of religious zealotry.

    Perfect for readers moved by Between Two Kingdoms, this life-affirming memoir of a young woman's sudden autoimmune kidney failure reveals a resilient journey of chronic illness, unfailing love, and moving forward with joy. 
    JENNIFER CRAMER-MILLER was a twenty-two-year-old with a promising job, charming boyfriend, and cozy Seattle apartment. Then she was diagnosed with an incurable autoimmune disease, and suddenly, rather than planning for a bright future, she found herself soaking a hospital pillow with tears. 
    THAT DAY, Cramer-Miller crossed over from wellness to chronic illness: from thriving to kidney failure. Her chances of survival hinged upon expert doctors, selfless strangers, and benevolent loved ones. But what kind of life would that be? 
    SPANNING TWO-PLUS DECADES and four kidney transplants, this family love story explores the tightrope of uncertainty, the will to survive, and the determination to find joy. Cramer-Miller shines a bright light on the power of people helping people with a story that will inspire you to hug the humans you love. Because sometimes, it's the sorrows that threaten to pull us apart that ultimately unite us with hope. 
    Glowing Reviews 
    “…a knockout memoir on living with a life-threatening kidney disease…. openhearted…. There’s plenty of wisdom in these pages.” 
    —Publishers Weekly, starred review 
    “. . . energetic, well-observed prose . . . Her account of her journey through illness and healing is unfailingly entertaining . . .” 
    —Kirkus Reviews 
    "This book is an inspiration. Read it to find your own bravery or salute the bravery of Jennifer Cramer-Miller." 
    —Delia Ephron, author of Left on Tenth: A Second Chance of Life and screenwriter of The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants

    Black Enough Man Enough: Embracing My Mixed Race and Fluid Sexuality by Gee Smalls is an unflinchingly honest memoir that explores identity, resilience, and self-acceptance. Narrated by the author himself, this deeply personal audiobook takes listeners on a journey through Gee's experiences growing up in the Gullah Geechee culture of James Island, South Carolina, in the 1980s. 
    From being called a “faggot-ass half-breed” and struggling with racial and sexual identity to the joys and challenges of fatherhood, divorce, and eventually embracing love in its truest form, Gee Smalls shares his raw and inspiring story. With profound candor, he reflects on his path to self-discovery, his advocacy for racial and LGBTQ+ equality, and his journey to building a modern blended family with the man he loves. 
    Published by Audiobook Publishing Services, this powerful memoir is more than a story—it’s a voice for inclusion and authenticity. Whether you're seeking inspiration or a deeper understanding of race, sexuality, and the human experience, this audiobook is a must-listen.

    Memory flows like a river, and it is through its constant flow that we come into being.
    
    
    Twelve of our most exciting contemporary writers consider the subject of rivers and how they shape us throughout our lives, demarcating cities as well as moulding our creative consciousness.
    
    Tessa Hadley revisits Rumer Godden's The River; Jo Hamya pays homage to Virginia Woolf; Michael Malay goes nightfishing for eels along the River Severn; Marchelle Farrell revisits the tropical waterfalls of her childhood home in Trinidad; and Caleb Azumah Nelson is drawn to the Guadalquivir in Seville.
    
    Tender and astute, By the River explores the cultural, social and psychological significance of the rivers that run through our societies and our minds, bringing together writers in a celebration of water and its transformative qualities.
