  12 Diamonds and a Path Full of Stones is a heartfelt and transformative journey 
  along the Camino de Santiago. With raw honesty and deep reflection, Veronique 
  Ziehaus takes us through the highs and lows of her pilgrimage — moments of struggle, 
  unexpected kindness, and life-changing insights. 
  Through each challenge, she uncovers a "diamond" — a lesson about resilience, 
  trust, and the beauty of embracing the unknown. More than just a travel memoir, 
  this book is an invitation to reflect on your own path and the meaningful encounters 
  that shape who we become. 
  Because in the end, life isn't about walking a perfect road — it's about finding the 
  treasures hidden along the way.

  For fans of Chanel Cleeton’s Next Year in Havana, a real-life story of how a young woman’s five-day trip to Cuba, her mother’s birthplace, completely changed her view of herself as a second-generation American. 
   
  When Barbara Caver was growing up in South Carolina, her Cuban roots were as mysterious as the embargoed island her mother had been born on but left in 1959. For Barbara, Cuba represented a heritage that she’d never understood and couldn’t fully embrace. When she moved from South Carolina to New York, the vibrant diversity of the city and new friendships with other Cuban Americans made her curious about her mother’s home country. Finally, in 2017, she traveled to Cuba. 
   
  Immediately upon arriving in Havana, Barbara was struck by a sense of the familiar: tiles on a backsplash looked like tiles in her grandparents’ home, the airport smelled like a childhood memory, local dishes tasted like her grandmother’s cooking, and a morning stroll through Vedado delivered her to the front gate of her great-grandmother’s home—despite the fact that she didn’t have the address. She wasn’t just visiting a foreign country; she was being welcomed home. 
   
  Part travel adventure, part ghost story, and part memoir, A Little Piece of Cuba: A Journey To Become Cubana-Americanais an imaginative and humorous personal journey through Barbara’s memories and experiences as she discovers that she is and has always been more Cuban than she thought.

  Highways and Byways in the...

  The Scottish border country - the abbeys, the peel towers, the ballad ground - walked and described by two brothers who had grown up in it. Andrew Lang, who spent a lifetime on the ballads and wrote on everything from Homer to totemism, died when the book was barely begun, and his brother John finished it; it is the book where the Langs are simply at home. Sixty plates of border landscape and light by painters from Turner to Henshaw, spanning 1778 to 1898, keep the country the Langs walked before the reader's eye.

  An absorbing and often hilarious account of the author's 12 years as closeted cabin crew for British Airways.  It's a story of love, creativity and acceptance, the transformative power of lesbian love and more.  Told with the wit and verve that characterised her debut novel, Karen's memoir of flying as cabin crew offers a fascinating insight into the profound impact of long-haul life.  Having come out as a lesbian she is forced to go back in as colleagues advise her that it is not ok to be gay, unlike male cabin crew. Brimming with vertiginous loops and extreme globe-trotting, against a backdrop of exotic locations, hotel bars and nightclubs, Karen slowly unravels as the inability to truly be herself reverberates. This is the story of how Karen finally came into land. How she learned to look after herself and discovered her true strength. "Atmospheric and idiosyncratic, this is a memoir that entertains and emboldens" Observer

The marshes he wrote about are now a national park. This edition binds 59 plates of painting with the text, among them works by Rosa Bonheur, Albert Bierstadt and J. M. W. Turner, and restores and colours its three in-text illustrations.
