  The remarkable, year-long correspondence between two young women in the wake of October 7—a Palestinian from Gaza City and an Israeli from Sderot—who, through letters, developed an improbable friendship through faith, genuine curiosity, and a shared hope for peace and liberation, for readers of Being Jewish After the Destruction of Gaza and The Eyes of Gaza."Tala, I've been thinking about you constantly...I can't imagine what you've been through these past weeks. Are you safe?" "Michelle, I wish that I had the chance to know you better in different circumstances. I believe that it would be different." In early 2024, French journalist Dimitri Krier reached out to two young women: Tala Albanna, a twenty-year-old from Gaza City, Palestine; and Michelle Amzalak, a twenty-four-year-old from Sderot, Israel. Tala had never spoken to anyone from Israel; Michelle had never spoken to anyone from Gaza. Would they be willing to write to each other? Both women said yes. Over the course of a year and a half, Tala and Michelle opened up to each other about their faith, their families, and everything they'd ever wanted to say to someone on the other side of the divide, including their shared, unshakeable conviction that the bloodshed in Palestine served no one—and that, if history could be rewritten, they might have had a very different relationship. "Michelle, I wonder if you ever have questioned the validity of your state," Tala wrote, "...Please tell your people to stop stealing our humanity and let us determine our fate." "I write to you of the harder days, of extreme war escalations and personal struggles," Michelle wrote, "but the truth is it feels almost shameful to mention these things to you after reading how hard you are fighting just for basic survival." With the clear-eyed reflection of Being Jewish After the Destruction of Gaza and the uncompromising, on-the-ground testimony of The Eyes of Gaza, I PRAY YOU WILL BE SAFE memorializes the improbable, border-transcending friendship between two ordinary young women, brought together by their unflagging faith, uncommon empathy, and a fierce hope for a better future.

  A collection of new contemporary short stories by Welsh writers, representing the winners of the 2022 Rhys Davies Short Story Competition.
  Family connections, unconventional friendships, love and loss: the twelve stories in this collection of new contemporary fiction by the winners of the 2022 Rhys Davies Short Story Competition present characters seeking solace, self-discovery and self-fulfilment as they navigate familiar and unfamiliar territory.
  Two sisters search for the last available Christmas tree while coming to terms with their mother's death; a stammering teen hitches a lift with a Welsh Elvis; a man participates in his 'endgame'; and a teacher and pupil create their very own time machine. From hillside encounters to conversations in homes, shops and on the street, these are stories about people and place, about relationships and revelations, peppered with memories and re-imaginings. These are stories where some voices are silenced and others get to sing.
  The Rhys Davies Short Story Competition recognises the very best unpublished short stories in English in any style by writers aged 18 or over who were born in Wales, have lived in Wales for two years or more, or are currently living in Wales. Originally established in 1991, Parthian is delighted to publish the 2022 winning stories on behalf of the Rhys Davies Trust and in association with Swansea University's Cultural Institute.
  Previous winners of the prize have included Leonora Brito, Lewis Davies, Tristan Hughes and Kate Hamer.

  A Sunday Times Book of the Week and Top 10 BestsellerA Times bestsellerA Waterstones Paperback of the Year 2024A Spectator Book of the Year 
  What kind of country is England today? 
  What does it mean to be English? 
  Are we hungry for change or seeking old certainties? 
  Join Stuart Maconie on an enlightening, entertaining journey through England, from Bristol's Banksy to Durham's beaches, from Cotswolds corduroy to Stoke's oatcakes. 
  As his guide, Maconie walks in the footsteps of J.B. Priestley's classic travelogue, English Journey, to explore our national identity and how it has evolved over the last century. On his way, Stuart takes inspiration from the people he meets at bus stops and train stations, cafes and corner shops. 
  Travelling the length of the land, Maconie explores the differences between city and town, north and south, and examines our past and present with affection and insight. Whether he’s passing the boutique hotels of Manchester, the moors of Ilkley or the grand houses of Tynemouth, looking out over misty fens or urban skylines, he shines a light on the people who make these places and asks what the future holds for them. Along the way, he uncovers local heroes and secret histories over early breakfasts and last orders. 
  Through his journey, he lets us see our homes and habits, hopes and eccentricities with fresh eyes. The Full English challenges us to embrace the messy, shifting and diverse nature of England, and to ask ourselves what kind of country we want to be. 
  In this bestseller, Maconie offers a literary exploration of Britain, blending travelogues and essays to create a humorous and insightful non-fiction piece. This Sunday Times bestselling book delves into the history and social interests of Europe, making it a special read. 
  For fans of Paul Mccartney (The Lyrics), Ted Widmer (Lincoln on the Verge), Mark Brake (The Science of Jurassic World), Michael Palin (Travelling to Work), and Ben Aitken (A Chip Shop in Poznan).
