Summary

When family roots hide secrets as deep as the soil they grow in…
After spending a year in a coma, Simon Verneil wakes up to a world stripped of everything he once knew: his wife died in the accident, his son is spiraling, his daughter has left for Canada, and his once-thriving olive grove lies in ruins. Determined to rebuild both his land and his life, Simon sets out to piece his world back together.
But as memories resurface and new plans take shape, unsettling revelations begin to emerge: a persistent buyer, a long-lost brother in Panama, veiled threats... What secrets lie buried beneath the land everyone seems to desire?
A powerful novel about memory, inheritance, healing, and the bonds of blood—where every tree hides a truth.
Available since: 05/28/2025.
Print length: 206 pages.

    Riotous and fizzing with language, the poetry of Golnoosh Nour boldly explores what it is to be utterly alive and ecstatically, yet complicatedly, in desire. –Richard Scott
Impure Thoughts is a dizzying dance through impurity's several selves. Half bal masqué, half Grand Guignol, Nour confronts the limits of desire with an almost uncanny intensity of focus. Even at their most tender and elegiac these poems tremble with the white-hot heat of libidinal energy and gleam with oracular fury. –Fran Lock

    Pearl, Jan and Linda are enjoying a long-awaited break on the Holy Island of Lindisfarne, when a surprise visitor turns up. They haven't seen Shelley for years, and their retreat becomes a reunion – and pretty soon, a riot.
But a lot has changed since they were last together and, cut off from the mainland, tensions rise with the tide. As the sky darkens, the island grows restless with echoes of the past. Will the four still be friends when dawn breaks?
Following the smash hits Ladies' Day and Ladies Down Under, Amanda Whittington's Ladies Unleashed is the third play in her Ladies Trilogy. A moving comedy about friendship, growing older and living for today, it was first performed at Hull Truck Theatre in September 2022, directed by Mark Babych.
The Ladies are back, and amateur theatre companies – as well as their audiences – are sure to delight in their riotous exploits.
