  WINNER OF RBAM BOOK OF THE YEAR 2024 AWARD
  'Overshadowed by the hunt for Jack the Ripper, the 'Thames Torso murderer' stalked the docks and quayside of the nation's capital, dismembering his victims at will. Now, the author of a new book believes she has identified the prime suspect.' - Daily Express
  Jack the Ripper is often called the world's most notorious unidentified killer, but he was not the first modern serial killer on the streets of London. Before him was another murderer who hunted from the River Thames – one arguably more sadistic and mercurial.
  The Thames Torso Killer has always lurked in the Ripper's shadow, despite the fact he murdered and dismembered at least four people over two years. He started to kill in 1887, over a year before the Ripper, and his last murder was in 1889, almost ten months after the death of Mary Jane Kelly, the Ripper's last victim.
  In Arm of Eve, Sarah Bax Horton conducts her own investigation and uses modern criminal profiling to come up with her own suspect – a known criminal who knew the Thames like the back of his hand.
  As featured in The Independent, the Daily Mail and The Times, and on BBC2's Lucy Worsley's Victorian Murder Club

  'A beautiful and deeply engaged journey into language and community' EDMUND DE WAAL, author of The Hare With Amber Eyes 
  'A miracle of research and tactful witness' IAIN SINCLAIR, author of The Last London 
  ________________________________ 
  This is the story of Yiddish. It is also the story of a penniless, charming writer on a mission to save his language, and a historian on a quest to follow him to the ends of a vanishing world.  
  The horrors of the Second World War could not stop one irrepressible man. In the aftermath of unimaginable loss, Avrom Nokem Stencl fought to keep his people’s language alive. After fleeing his shtetl, and only narrowing escaping the Nazis, he landed in London where he dedicated the rest of his life to the survival of his mother tongue. Historian Rachel Lichtenstein first heard about this unlikely hero from her grandparents, fellow Polish refugees to Whitechapel, and she became determined to uncover the mystery of his remarkable life. 
  In this historical detective story, spanning the twentieth century and travelling from London to Germany, Poland and the United States, Lichtenstein traces the destruction and miraculous survival of Yiddish. She excavates the vibrant Yiddish-speaking worlds her family and Stencl once inhabited and the haunting absences that still resound within those places. But she also finds a new community of her own in the present, redefining Yiddish life and language for a new generation. 
  This is a story of exile and survival, erasure and recovery, displacement and return. It is an elegy to lost worlds and a tribute to the resilience of a people and their language. 
  'Something truly special … singular, inventive and deeply emotive' KEIRON PIM, author of Endless Flight

  We are all patient with beginners, extending compassionate grace to anyone learning a new skill. But what about the woman just beginning her marriage journey? What about the woman, ten years in, who still wishes she had a marriage manual to help make sense of challenges she never anticipated?  
  Discover a fresh marriage manual that offers practical wisdom illustrated through the author’s personal stories and experiences over the course of her four decade marriage. Each chapter is uniquely devoted to one of the critical characteristics the author deems essential to a happy marriage. Whether 12 weeks or 12 years in, this book extends understanding and hope to those still learning the ins and outs of marriage: those whom the author calls–beginner wives. 
  From the Introduction: 
  “I’ll let you in on a little secret: Other women don’t have perfect husbands; they’ve simply learned how to enjoy the husbands they have! In this book I share what worked for me, where I missed the mark (so you don’t have to), and how establishing and sharing a core set of values with my husband not only influenced my early years of becoming a wife, but also how I balanced that role with being a mother of six children. I’ve devoted each chapter to the critical characteristics that I’ve found to be essential to a happy marriage. And the best part is that each of these characteristics is available to you if you’re willing to do the work. 
  "If you’re a woman who wants to prepare for a marriage she doesn’t have yet, and then carry the honeymoon phase through to the very end, this book is for you. If you’re a woman looking to thrive in your marriage, and gain the tools to consistently support and elevate each other through all of life’s seasons, this book is for you. If you're a woman who wants to be intentional about actually enjoying — not resenting — your husband and your marriage, then this book is for you. Welcome!”

  Expert guidance for living a longer, healthier, more meaningful second half of life. 
   
   
   
  Americans are now living decades longer than previous generations. These added years offer exciting possibilities but also raise crucial questions. In her groundbreaking book, Debra Whitman provides a roadmap for navigating, and celebrating, the second half of life. Drawing on compelling stories from her own family and people across the country, interviews with experts, and cutting-edge research, she shares insights on brain health, the contributions and concerns of an older workforce, caregiving, financing retirement, and more. Her findings are often surprising: Americans over fifty are a boon to—not a drain on—the economy. Dementia rates have actually been declining as more people achieve higher levels of education and adopt healthier lifestyles. And while we've long known that staying connected to others is critical to mental health, it turns out it is also linked to a stronger immune system, lower blood pressure, and a longer life. 
   
   
   
  Whitman presents practical steps we can take to help create a better second fifty for ourselves. But we can't do it alone. Whitman also calls for urgently needed changes that would make it easier for every American to enjoy a vital and meaningful second half of life.
