Sinopsis

Didicoy offers a window into the colourful, precarious world of a multiracial Romany family, and focuses on characters at the often-untold margins of society. Blending lyricism with formal experimentation, these poems explore what it is to belong. Clear-eyed and outspoken, Didicoy has something of the impact of a contemporary Cathy Come Home.
The collection is wonderfully peopled, with an unforgettable portrait of a mother and a powerful and important depiction of life in a children's home. Writing like this, which combines real expressive skill with material which must be expressed, really reminds us what poetry is for. – Jonathan Edwards, winner of the Costa Poetry Award

    There’s nothing a mother wouldn’t do for her children – even if it means telling a lie… 
Sisters Georgie and Kate have always been close. Brought up by their mum Jan after the death of their father, this family of women have always been able to rely on each other.  
Jan loves her daughters with all her heart. She knows some people think she’s an over-protective mother, but they didn’t know what she knows. She has always kept her girls close but now she can feel them slipping away. 
Secrets have a nasty habit of refusing to stay hidden, and now Georgie and Kate are about to discover that while lies can cause pain, the truth could destroy them all. 
Two beloved girls. The mother who adores him. The secret that could tear them apart. 
Bestselling novelist Clare Swatman returns with a heart-breaking, devastating, but ultimately uplifting story about mothers, daughters and the bonds of love. 
Praise for Clare Swatman: 
'Before We Grow Old is an unashamedly big, life-affirming, tear-jerking love story. Beautifully told, characters Fran and Will had me from the first page, and crying buckets by the last ! Just gorgeous.' Katy Regan 
'Before We Grow Old took me on an intense emotional journey, and I cried at the end (and I rarely cry when I'm reading!) The portrayal of the mother and son bond - with its peaks and troughs of intensity and frustration - felt incredibly real, and the dialogue in particular was brilliantly done.' Victoria Scott  
'A beautifully written tale of enduring love' - Rowan Coleman  
'Irresistible . . . A delightfully bittersweet story that will appeal to fans of One Day' - Sunday Mirror 'Wonderful' - Sun

    Sharon Hashimoto reconstructs a collective memory, conjuring the voices of grandparents, children, soldiers, and " those left to tell." In moving detail, these poems convey the realities of assimilation, service, and internment as experienced by Japanese Americans during, and in the decades following, the Second World War. In this stunning collection, Hashimoto reckons with the limitations of language, and by extension, notions of citizenship. She deftly sounds the dissonances in the language of loyalty and allegiance.

    Pillow and Case is a gripping audio drama that explores love, desire, betrayal, and the emotional complexities of modern relationships. Set against an intimate and relatable backdrop, the story follows two individuals, Chris and Cindy, nicknamed Pillow and Case, whose connection blurs the lines between passion and consequence. 
As secrets unfold and boundaries are tested, what begins as a seemingly simple relationship quickly spirals into a web of emotional tension, vulnerability, and life-altering decisions. With each episode, the characters are forced to confront their deepest truths, navigating love, lust, and the weight of their choices. 
Raw, engaging, and emotionally charged, Pillow and Case takes listeners on a compelling journey into the realities of human connection—where every moment comes with a cost.
