    The Taste of Longing - Ethel...

    Half a world away from her home in Manitoulin Island, Ethel Mulvany is starving in Singapore’s infamous Changi Prison, along with hundreds of other women jailed there as POWs during the Second World War. They beat back pangs of hunger by playing decadent games of make-believe and writing down recipes filled with cream, raisins, chocolate, butter, cinnamon, ripe fruit—the unattainable ingredients of peacetime, of home, of memory. 
    In this novelistic, immersive biography, Suzanne Evans presents a truly individual account of WWII through the eyes of Ethel—mercurial, enterprising, combative, stubborn, and wholly herself. The Taste of Longing follows Ethel through the fall of Singapore in 1942, the years of her internment, and beyond. As a prisoner, she devours dog biscuits and book spines, befriends spiders and smugglers, and endures torture and solitary confinement. As a free woman back in Canada, she fights to build a life for herself in the midst of trauma and burgeoning mental illness. 
    Woven with vintage recipes and transcribed tape recordings, the story of Ethel and her fantastical POW Cookbook is a testament to the often-overlooked strength of women in wartime. It’s a story of the unbreakable power of imagination, generosity, and pure heart.

    The surprise breakout star of Bravo’s hit reality show, Southern Charm, introduces an essential lifestyle guide as refreshing and fun as a gin martini.   “Patricia on #SouthernCharm, like lookin’ in the damn mirror. Cheers queen.”—Lady Gaga   Fan-favorite Bravolebrity Patricia Altschul from the primetime show Southern Charm finally brings fans her eagerly anticipated opus on etiquette and living a glamorous Southern lifestyle. Patricia provides advice on every situation, from hosting a memorable cocktail party, to decoding the dress code for any event, to handling a drunken boor at the dinner table, to delivering the perfectly phrased insult—like her now iconic “shameless strumpet.” The Art of Southern Charm takes readers inside the world of Charleston’s most captivating grande dame, who (with Michael the Butler) offers a blueblood’s blueprint for curating and celebrating life at its best.   “Some viewers might watch the Bravo reality show Southern Charm to witness the escapades of Charleston’s young elite, but at T&C we watch just to see Patricia Altschul in action . . . She’s the show’s resident expert in decorum, manners, and entertaining.”—Emily Selter, Town & Country   “Since Southern Charm premiered in 2014, Mrs. Altschul, 78, has emerged as a tart-tongued matriarch doing the work of a Greek chorus for a cast in which half the members can barely figure out how to get out of bed before noon (and once there, how to proceed without a beer) . . . Some of Mrs. Altschul’s points of view may seem out of touch . . . But her commentary can also be incisive and funny, sparking roundups of her zingers across the internet.”—The New York Times

    With a foreword by Eddy Merckx 
    The world of professional cycling is fraught with fierce competition, fervent dedication and unerring ambition, and only a handful of competitors reach iconic status. Among them is Sir Bradley Wiggins – a man uniquely placed to reflect on the history of this remarkable sport and its unforgettable titans. 
    In Icons, Wiggins takes the reader on an extraordinarily intimate journey through the sport, presenting key pieces from his never-before-seen collection of memorabilia. Over the course of his illustrious career, he amassed hundreds of items – often gifts from its greatest and most controversial figures. Each reflects an icon, a race or a moment that fundamentally influenced Wiggins on both a personal and professional level. 
    By exploring the lives and achievements of 21 of the sport’s key figures – among them Fausto Coppi, Jacques Anquetil, Miguel Induráin and Tom Simpson – Wiggins sheds new light on what professional cycling demands of its best competitors. Icons lauds their triumphs, elucidates their demons and sheds light on the philosophy and psychology that comprise the unique mindset of a cycling champion. 
    In Icons, Wiggins, the Sunday Times bestselling author, presents an insightful exploration of the world of professional cycling. His autobiography, filled with personal anecdotes and professional insights, is a tribute to the sport's most iconic figures, making it a must-read for sports and biography enthusiasts. 
    For fans of Geraint Thomas (Great Rides According to G), David Millar (Racing Through the Dark), Lance Armstrong (It's Not About The Bike), Mark Beaumont (Africa Solo), and Jack Thurston (Lost Lanes Central England).
