Summary

In "Jules of the Great Heart," Lawrence Mott weaves a compelling narrative that explores the life of Jules, a free trapper and outlaw navigating the rugged Hudson Bay region during its formative years. Combining historical fact with richly drawn characterizations, Mott employs a vivid literary style that blends adventure with introspective reflection, immersing readers in the untamed landscape of early North American wilderness. Through meticulous research, Mott reconstructs a nuanced period marked by cultural tensions, economic opportunities, and the quest for personal freedom, creating a tapestry that reflects the larger themes of exploitation and survival inherent in American frontier life. Lawrence Mott, an accomplished historian and writer with deep roots in American frontier studies, draws upon his extensive knowledge of the era to breathe life into this richly realized tale. His passion for the rugged terrain and complex interactions among its diverse inhabitants informs his portrayal of Jules. Mott'Äôs background in anthropology and history'Äîcoupled with personal interests in the narratives of outlaws and adventurers'Äîinformed his choice to focus on a character who embodies both rebellion and resilience against an evolving landscape. I highly recommend "Jules of the Great Heart" to readers interested in captivating historical narratives that not only entertain but also provide profound insights into the human condition. Mott's masterful storytelling and keen attention to historical detail will appeal to both history enthusiasts and fiction lovers alike, offering a riveting glimpse into a pivotal time in North American history.

    Should Wales leave the UK? It's a conversation that has – unfairly – been all but disregarded by many, including some of the Welsh themselves, with all the focus on their Celtic cousins in Scotland. But independence movements are gaining momentum across Europe, and Wales will be a key voice in these debates. Support for Welsh autonomy is at an all-time high, with the latest polls suggesting as many as one in three are in favour. This is not just unprecedented; it is all but revolutionary.
    Scotland's 2014 referendum taught us that once the independence genie is out of the bottle, it does not go back in. Meanwhile, the Brexit campaign demonstrated that these arguments come with inflated claims, misinformation and scaremongering that can easily poison a complex debate.
    In Independent Nation, Will Hayward brings nuance back to the arena for this crucial national conversation. Brimming with interviews from experts and painting a detailed, colourful picture of the realities of life in Wales – from extreme poverty and disconnected infrastructure to expensive urban regeneration and cafés of Gavin and Stacey fame – this is an open-eyed look at the truths and falsehoods around the country's future. Impartial, informed and thoroughly entertaining, Independent Nation raises the standard of debate around an issue that will affect us all.
