Chai & Chapati - Two Years in...

Peter O'Neil

A warm, funny, deeply human memoir about the friendships that turn a foreign country into a home.
Peter O'Neil had lived and taught on four continents, and when people asked whether he would ever go to India, his answer was always the same: next lifetime. Then a job came open at an international school in New Delhi, and he went.
Chai & Chapati is the story of the two years that followed, and of the people who carried him through them. There are the five Kasana cousins, Punjabi men who fold a solitary American into their family without a second thought. There is the driver who reads the city for him, and another who dreams of a wedding he is still saving for. There is Krishan, reserved, brilliant, unforgettable, the deepest friendship of O'Neil's years abroad and the one he never learned to name. And there are the students, more than a classroom's worth of reasons to have come at all.
Across two years, O'Neil is taken to a village wedding in the Punjab, to temples high and humble, to the fire-lit banks of the Ganges at Varanasi, and into kitchens where he learns to make the two things he will carry home in his hands: masala chai and chapati. He writes about caste and inequality, about faith held lightly and held close, and about loving and being befriended as a gay man far from home, with the immersive warmth and clear eye of Peter Hessler's River Town and Kris Holloway's Monique and the Mango Rains. It is a travel-and-friendship memoir that happens to be told by a gay man: no coming-out arc, no agenda, only a life fully received in a place not his own.
A companion to O'Neil's Cameroon memoir, A Place Set for Me, this is, in the end, a book about the oldest and best surprise there is: that you can be received, wholly and without condition, by people whose lives look nothing like your own.
Includes a reading-group guide. Narrated in the author's own voice, recreated with AI from the studio recording of his earlier work.

Twelve Mountains: A Journey Up...

Tom Chesshyre

A year in Britain's highest peaks, where the weather changes fast, the ground shifts slowly, and every summit feels deeply personal to walkers, climbers, poets, and workers alike.
Sometimes in life it's good just to head for the hills – to seek refuge from the vicissitudes of the everyday and take in the wonder of Britain’s landscapes.
With the nation in a full-blown identity crisis, Tom Chesshyre aims to break free from the turbulent news cycle and indulge in some mountain therapy. So, he sets off to conquer – more like scramble up – a dozen of Britain's highest peaks. He does not purport to be a ‘climber’; you’ll find no ropes or clips here. But as the weeks unfold, each ascent becomes a quiet act of resistance against noise, speed and overload. On these mountains, time stretches and priorities reset with the breathtaking clarity of each cloud inversion.
From the mist-shrouded crags of Scafell Pike to the rugged, ancient shoulders of Ben Nevis, he explores the contrast between the permanence of stone and the fleeting anxieties of the news alert. In the shadow of Yr Wyddfa (Snowdon), he explores the resurgence of the Welsh tongue and the mythic weight of King Arthur. In the Mourne Mountains, he traces the granite walls that inspired Narnia, finding magic in a land once defined by division.
Yet this book is as much about people as peaks. In pubs, B&B kitchens and bus shelters he meets farmers, fell runners and accidental guides, all with their own relationship to the high ground. Their stories anchor the mountains in lived experience, reminding our guide that these places are not escapist fantasies but working, weather-beaten realities. And threaded through the climbs is a gentle questioning of what Britain still shares, what endures when politics fractures and certainties erode.
Twelve Mountains celebrates the joy of hitting the trail, the rhythmic crunch of boots on scree … and going up.
Mountains include: Ben Nevis, Ben Lomond, Yr Wyddfa (Snowdon), Scafell Pike, Helvellyn, Cross Fell, An Teallach, Tryfan, Pen y Fan, Slieve Donard, Buachaille Etive Mor and Suilven
For fans of Nige Tassell (Eddy Merckx – Out On His Own), Monisha Rajesh (The Untold Railway Stories), Ben Aitken (A Chip Shop in Poznan), Michael Palin (The Python Years), and Mark Gregory Probert (Journey through Wales).
