  Sally, a beautiful young pregnant woman, came to the hospital supposedly for pre-term labor pains but delivered a fully mature, healthy boy. Her face, smiling with relief after the stress of delivery, quickly changed to apprehension.  
  “Doctor, what will you tell my husband and family? Can you please tell them that the baby is premature?” She asked. 
  “How can I?” Dr. Thomas replied helplessly. “The baby is fully grown and mature, as anyone can see.” 
  “You mean to say that there is nothing wrong with the child, Doctor?” Johnykutty, her husband, asked in dismay and anguish. “But we’ve been married for just seven months!” 
  Her husband and his family go away, leaving Sally and the illegitimate child. 
  What will be her future? 
  What fate awaits the unwanted child? 
  This book is an enchanting story of a young doctor couple who ventured into a remote, rural forested village to re-open a defunct hospital, their involvement in the mysteries and conflicts of their patients, the daunting challenges - both nonmedical and medical, the agony of failures, and the ecstasy of triumphs.

  'We have to keep up with the times. We're a business, not a soup kitchen, we might be busy but we're basically giving the food away for free.'
  Hyltons' Caribbean takeaway is a much-loved restaurant in the heart of Liverpool. Built by Carol and her late husband into a bustling hub with a mouth-watering menu, it serves great food with a huge side-order of love.
  But in a world of delivery apps, street-food markets and gourmet curry goat, the old ways are changing. Liverpool is changing too, with a luxury apartment block about to be built over a local playing field. Anger is rising, nobody can agree on anything any more, and things are getting spicy...
  A feast of big laughs, family tensions and delicious food, Nathan Powell's play Takeaway premiered at Liverpool Everyman in 2025, directed by Amanda Huxtable.

  Mother Daughter Augur

  Mary Simmons’s debut is a world unto itself: a dark storybook realm, lush and full of eerie possibility, a place outside of time where women move in different forms and pass on warnings and wisdom. In the spirit of a Victorian naturalist’s collection, this book brings together found elements from nature, folklore, mythology, ballet, and oral tradition, crafting a strange, kaleidoscopic beauty and complicating inherited definitions of femininity. As these poems blur dichotomies—maiden and witch, mother and daughter, friend and lover—they reach for a new vision of womanhood beyond the bounds of roles and expectations, one that is mystical, ethereal, a little dangerous, and inherently queer. In the process, they tap into deep currents of yearning, grapple with corporeality, raise larger questions about love and what lasts, and find meaning in the uncanny and the macabre. In these pages are insects and omens, wolves and birds and weird apparitions, Odile and Ophelia, even a seventeenth-century professional poisoner. Original, atmospheric, and immersive, this is a work like no other: a tour through an enchanted forest, a darkness that’s illuminating.

  William Butler Yeats

  William Butler Yeats's early poetry is suffused with the radiant lyricism of Irish folklore and myth; the yearning romance and distinctly Irish voice of these first works of the Nobel laureate have inspired scores of poets. This splendid selection offers a distinctive sampling of the Yeatsian voice.
  Among the many famed works included are "The Everlasting Voices," "Reconciliation," and "The Song of the Wandering Aengus." Each of these poems is filled with the sparkling magic and mysticism Yeats absorbed as a boy in Ireland. This sweetness is juxtaposed against an anguished realism grounded in the master poet's nationalist and political sympathies.
