The Perfect PresentKaren Swan
Jewellery designer Laura Cunningham’s world is small and precise, and that’s just how she likes it. Until the day Matt hew Wingfi eld walks into her life. Handsome,
charmed and charming, he loves his wife, Christy, and he comes to Laura with an idea: to design a charm bracelet, each charm signifying a key event or special chapter in his wife’s life, as a tribute from all those who know and love her best.
So Laura embarks upon a series of interviews with him and his wife’s glamorous friends as she tries to isolate each person’s story to a singular motif. Doors and hearts are opened to her, but as the bracelet begins to fi ll up and Christy’s story is gradually unfolded to reveal a history where the passions are grander and the secrets are deeper, Laura feels herself being swept out of her own closed world into a more exciting life where her desires awaken, her ambitions evolve and her att raction to Matt hew grows harder to deny.

poetry collection The Tree House (Picador 2004), won both
the Forward Prize and the Scottish Book of the Year Award.
She teaches at Stirling University and lives with her family

Collected Poems Sean O’Brien
Sean O’Brien is generally acknowledged as the leading English poet of his generation and has won the Forward Prize on an unprecedented three occasions. Th e defi nitive collection of his poetry, drawn from almost 40 years’ work, this book allows readers a remarkable opportunity to overview both the great variety and consistency of O’Brien’s work, and the enduring strength of his obsessions: underworlds, urban dystopias, trains, the elegy, the English pastoral and the provincial idyll, infl uences from abroad, hells and heavens.

The Seacunny Gerard Woodward
Gerard Woodward’s poetry has long been admired for its sharp and unfl inching eye, its fearless surrealism, its blacker-than-black humour, and its ability to fi nd a litt le abyss in practically any detail. In Th e Seacunny, Woodward’s reconsiderations of trampolines, bird-tables, lightbulbs and bear-suits will leave the reader unable to regard those things in quite the same way again.

A New History of the WorldAndrew Marr
From the earliest civilizations to the twenty-fi rst century, a global journey through human history, tieing-in with a major BBC television series. Andrew
Marr, author of two best-selling histories of Great Britain, now turns his att ention to the world as a whole.
A Short History of the World takes readers from the Mayans to Mongolia, from the kingdom of Benin to the court of the Jagellonian kings of Poland. Traditional histories of this kind have tended to be Euro-centric, telling mankind’s story through tales of Greece and Rome and the crowned heads of Europe. Here, Marr widens the lens, concentrating as much, if not more on the Americas, Africa and Asia. Instead of focusing on one episode of history taking place in one place, he draws surprising parallels and makes fascinating connections: for instance, the liberation of the serfs in Russia, which took place at the same time as the American Civil War. But he begins the account with an episode in the life of Tolstoy, who racked up huge gambling debts and had to sell land and slaves as a result.
Fresh, exciting, this is popular history at its very best.
Andrew Marr was born in Glasgow in 1959. He
studied English at the University of Cambridge
and has since enjoyed a long career in political
journalism. From 2000 to 2005 he was the BBC’s
Political Editor. He has written and presented TV
documentaries on history, science and politics, and
presents the weekly Andrew Marr Show on Sunday
mornings on BBC1 and Start the Week on Radio 4.
He lives in London with his family.

The Diamond QueenEl i z abe th I I and He r Peopl e Andrew Marr
With the fl air for narrative and the meticulous research that readers have come to expect, Andrew Marr turns his att ention to the monarch – and to the monarchy, chronicling the Queen’s pivotal role at the centre of the state, which is largely hidden from the public gaze, and making a strong case for the institution itself.
Arranged thematically, rather than chronologically, Marr examines her role as Head of the Commonwealth, and her deep commitment to that Commonwealth of nations and looks at the drastic changes in the media and the monarchy since her accession in 1952.Indeed he argues that under her watchful eye, the monarchy has been thoroughly modernized and made as fi t for purpose in the twenty-fi rst century as it was when she came to the throne.

A Face Like Glass Francis Hardinge
In the underground city of Caverna the world’s most skilled craft smen toil to create delicacies beyond compare. Th e people of Caverna are more ordinary, but their faces are as blank as untouched snow.

Into this distrustful world comes Neverfell, a litt le girl with a face so terrifying to those around her that she must wear a mask at all times. For Neverfell’s emotions are as obvious on her face as those of the most skilled Facesmiths, though entirely genuine. And that makes her very dangerous indeed.
Frances Hardinge read English at Oxford University, then got
a job at a software company until her fi rst novel, Fly By Night,
was published to huge critical acclaim and won the Branford

DebutantesCora Harrison
A gorgeous historical romance, perfect for fans of Downton Abbey! It’s 1923 and London is a whirl of jazz, dancing and parties. Violet, Daisy, Poppy and
Rose Derrington are desperate to be part of it, but stuck in an enormous crumbling house in the country, with no money and no fashionable dresses, the excitement seems a lifetime away.
Luckily the girls each have a plan for escaping their humdrum country life: Rose wants to be a novelist, Poppy a jazz musician and Daisy a famous fi lm director. Violet, however, has only one ambition: to become the perfect Debutante, so that she can go to London and catch the eye of Prince George, the most eligible bachelor in the country.
But a house as big and old as Beech Grove Manor hides many secrets, and Daisy is about to uncover one so huge it could ruin all their plans—ruin everything—forever.
Cora Harrison worked as a head teacher before
she decided to write her fi rst novel, and she has
since published twenty-six children’s historical
novels and many books for adults. Cora lives on a
farm near the Burren in the west of Ireland.
