  The Odyssey by Homer
  
  Embark on one of the greatest adventures in world literature with The Odyssey, Homer's timeless epic of courage, perseverance, identity, and the longing for home. Following the fall of Troy, the Greek hero Odysseus begins a perilous journey across strange seas and distant lands, facing monsters, enchantresses, storms, temptations, and the unpredictable will of the gods.
  
  While Odysseus struggles to find his way home to Ithaca, his wife, Penelope, and son, Telemachus, face their own challenges. With Odysseus presumed lost, powerful suitors invade his household, consuming his wealth and pressuring Penelope to choose a new husband. As Telemachus comes of age and searches for news of his missing father, the family must endure uncertainty, deception, and growing danger.
  
  Odysseus's journey takes him through encounters with unforgettable figures and legendary beings, including the Cyclops, Circe, the Sirens, Calypso, and the restless forces of the sea. Yet the greatest challenge is not simply surviving the journey—it is remaining true to himself while struggling against temptation, loss, and the passage of time.
  
  More than an adventure story, The Odyssey is a profound exploration of what it means to belong, to endure, and to return home. It examines loyalty, intelligence, family, hospitality, faithfulness, and the complex nature of heroism. Through Odysseus's long journey and Penelope's steadfast devotion, Homer creates a story that continues to resonate with readers thousands of years after it was first told.
  
  Whether you are discovering this ancient masterpiece for the first time or revisiting its legendary adventures, The Odyssey offers an unforgettable voyage through mythology, imagination, and the enduring mysteries of the human heart.

  Already Too Late - a boyhood memoir

  In post-war Glasgow a primary school class was set a composition topic: a memorable family event. Each child completed the assignment – all, that is, but one. 
  Why didn't you write about your family?
  Please, miss. I didn't, I didn't know what to write.
  But now, he does.
  
  In Already, Too Late, Carl MacDougall, one of Scotland's most accomplished and celebrated literary writers, presents a memoir of extraordinary authenticity and honesty.
  
  This memoir takes us through MacDougall's upbringing, both in and out of care on the west coast of Scotland, Fife, and industrial Glasgow, during the first decade of his life.
  
  Within this world, now teetering on the brink of our collective memory, sits a single-parent household of German descent; money is tight, trauma roams free and tragedy comes calling again and again.
  
  Through a powerful mosaic of stories, MacDougall strips away all rose-tinted sentimentality to create a vivid account of heart-break, dissociation and loss.
  
  Already, Too Late is the early life of an outsider looking in, a changeling child, displaced, alone, and – in his own grandmother's words – 'no right'. Because for some, even the very beginning is already too late.

  Apologise… Hell, No! The Power of an Apology in an Entitled World is a visceral read that explores the ups and down of the apology in a world that's forgetting how to say sorry and mean it. Combining personal memoir, along with some practical advice this book is rich in its openness and evocative enough to challenge, assist and uplift you as it takes both a light-hearted and serious look at the different uses of the apology spanning stoic philosophers, Stick Man, #MeToo, Black Lives Matter, narcissism, entitlement, slavery and WW1 to name but a few. 
  "A deeply personal yet systematic approach to the delicate art of apologizing." — Kirkus Reviews 
   "Unflinching honesty that has translated into something rich and evocative." — Sara Starbuck

  When she was sixteen years old, Felicity received a diagnosis that would change her whole life, and even threatened to end it.

  To be specific, she was diagnosed with Chronic Myeloid Leukaemia, at that time an incurable form of Cancer. 
  This is, however, a book of hope. Thanks to medical advancements, although she has not been cured, Felicity's cancer has become treatable, and many of the worst symptoms became manageable. 
  Now, after living with Cancer for more than half of her life so far, Felicity (with the help of her mother Jackie, and husband Greg) shares the story of her diagnosis, learning to live with her condition, and how she has managed to build a full and happy life beside the 'C'.
