14 Days & 40 Years - The Little...

Natalie Anderson

Not all love is the same, which is one of the most peculiar truths in life. Your Love is as unique as the individual you feel it for. I think that’s one of the greatest paradoxes we will live through. It seems to me, there is little choice in how big it is, or how hard it hits. There’s no telling what it will do to you when you enter the arena, and that is why it can be a force we sometimes fight; because it has felt like a battle we’ve lost before.
Although it feels like you are powerless in Love, you aren’t powerless at the end of Love. You choose whether or not big Love crushes you, or if it shrinks for you to carry it in your pocket as a reminder of the greatness it once was. The desire to not be destroyed by Love is where I am.
This is a story of 14 days that coincided with my 40th birthday and a time I fell in Love. It was through a difficult turn of events that I got to step away from my uncomfortable life to experience turning 40 in Mexico; with someone I didn’t just love, but who I liked. So this is also a story about the importance of falling in Like.
For a long time I said if I ever shared this story, I’d have to call it fiction because it feels so personal. But eventually I realized it made more sense to just admit: it’s me. I’m the quiet naive girl in these pages who had barely begun to know herself and didn’t know how to communicate as well as she thought she did. I’m the one who was learning that Love can be complicated; while seeming simple to me.
One of the greatest lessons anyone learns, is knowing what it feels like to fall in love and experience connection. That was my greatest benefit; because I have been able to use that measure of connection ever since. One can break and fall apart in many ways, but it’s my opinion that until big love breaks you, a level of innocence remains. After that, you decide whether or not big love heals you. For me, it took this little trip of 14 days to finally benefit from the long journey of 40 years.

The Hopeless Biker - Who Went...

Miles Morland

From Sunday Times bestseller Miles Morland comes a brilliant, life-affirming and audacious travel memoir.
Having never ridden a motorbike at night, in rain, or on motorways, not knowing the difference between a carburettor and a spark plug, Miles Morland set out to ride across newly post-communist Europe to Istanbul. Somehow, he survived gales in France, rioting miners in Romania, homicidal truck drivers, and floods in Turkey. Since then, he has ridden the equivalent of twice round the world across five continents. He still doesn't know what a carburettor is. 
This isn't a book about biking. It's a story of idiot optimism, fearless discovery, and the freedom most of us can only dream about during our commute to work. Recklessly heading across Patagonia, the Andes, Japan, India, Australia's Nullarbor, and every other unlikely place, Miles's utter disregard for practical preparation and unfailing belief that things will work out somehow get him home safe. 
The Hopeless Biker is about letting go, going it alone, and trusting you'll survive to discover what's on the other side of the mountain.
'I don't know if Miles is brilliant or mad to do what he has done, possibly both but he had a lot of fun along the way and so did I.' Giles Foden, author of the Last King of Scotland.

Mid Land: A Journey into...

Mike Parker

A cultural history, a memoir, a love letter and a reckoning
The English Midlands is the least eulogised part of these islands: the bit left over when all the sharper, sexier regions have staked their claim; the blank space at the centre of the map. And yet. This is also a bellwether region, the canary in the national mine. The perfect symbol of an in-between nation at a very in-between moment in time. Shouldn’t we get to know it better?
Weaving between Birmingham's canals and the Black Country's battered high streets, Coventry cathedral and the ghostly underbelly of Spaghetti Junction, Mike Parker excavates the deep strata of a place that shaped him more profoundly than he ever knew. Here is the Lunar Society and the Civic Gospel; 2-Tone and heavy metal; Enoch Powell and Benjamin Zephaniah; George Eliot and the Staffordshire Hoard; Mary Whitehouse and the Peaky Blinders.
But Mid Land is also something that’s both wider and more intimate, a missive from the impenetrable middles of class and age. Beneath the cultural history is a family story: two elderly, estranged parents on opposite sides of the conurbation; a godfather with secrets; a chaotic childhood split between Kidderminster and Paris, between aspiration and shame, between belonging and exile.
This is a book about what it means to come from nowhere in particular, and why that might, right now, be exactly the vantage point we need. In the Midlands’ compromise and muddle, its pluralism and lumpy centrism, are all the hallmarks of our national reality. If we could only accept that, celebrate it even, it might just be the making of us.
For fans of Gail Simmons (Country of Larks), Mark Wallington (The Uke of Wallington), Lee Schofield (Wild Fell), Tim Hannigan (The Granite Kingdom), and Chloe Dalton (Raising Hare).
