THE INSTANT SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER ''A mind-blowing and emotionally honest tale of survival against all odds.'' BERNARDINE EVARISTO ''A breathtaking memoir...I was so moved by this book.'' Oprah ''It is startlingly honest and, at times, a jaw-dropping read, charting her rise from poverty and abuse to becoming the first African-American to win the triple crown of an Oscar, Emmy and Tony for acting.'' BBC News THE DEEPLY PERSONAL, BRUTALLY HONEST ACCOUNT OF VIOLA''S INSPIRING LIFE In my book, you will meet a little girl named Viola who ran from her past until she made a life changing decision to stop running forever.
This is my story, from a crumbling apartment in Central Falls, Rhode Island, to the stage in New York City, and beyond. This is the path I took to finding my purpose and my strength, but also to finding my voice in a world that didn''t always see me.
As I wrote Finding Me, my eyes were open to the truth of how our stories are often not given close examination. They are bogarted, reinvented to fit into a crazy, competitive, judgmental world. So I wrote this for anyone who is searching for a way to understand and overcome a complicated past, let go of shame, and find acceptance. For anyone who needs reminding that a life worth living can only be born from radical honesty and the courage to shed facades and be...you.
Finding Me is a deep reflection on my past and a promise for my future. My hope is that my story will inspire you to light up your own life with creative expression and rediscover who you were before the world put a label on you. -
ALL THE THINGS SHE SAID ; EVERYTHING I KNOW ABOUT MODERN LESBIAN AND BI CULTURE
Daisy Jones
- Coronet
- 2 Juin 2022
- 9781529328059
______________________________________________________________________________________ ''An introspective dive into the fast-moving world of queer culture, Daisy unpacks some of the 21st century''s biggest lesbian and bisexual moments to paint a portrait of what modern-day queerness looks like.'' - GAY TIMES ''Daisy Jones effortlessly explores queer culture'' - COSMOPOLITAN A modern, personal guide to the culture of queer women and everyone in between.
All The Things She Said explores the nature of 21st century queerness. Lesbian and bi culture is ever-changing and here, journalist Daisy Jones unpicks outdated stereotypes and shows how, over the past few years, the style and shared language of queer women has slowly infiltrated the mainstream. (Think less hemp sandals, IKEA trips and nut milks and more freedom, expression, community. And Cate Blanchett.) From the dingy basement clubs of east London to the unchartered realms of TikTok, cutting in DIY mullets and christening Meryl Streep ''Daddy'', Daisy explores the multifaceted nature of what it means to be lesbian or bi today, while also looking back and celebrating the past.
The book shines a light on the never-ending process of coming out, what it''s like to date as a queer woman, how physical nightlife spaces have evolved into online communities and the reasons why mental health issues have disproportionately impacted LGBTQ+ people.
As someone immersed in the queer culture of women, Daisy brings both the personal perspective and a journalistic one to this changing landscape. Through interviews and lived experience, a cohesive image emerges: one which shows that being lesbian, bi, or anything in between, isn''t necessarily always tied to gender, sexual practice or even romantic attraction.
With verve, humour and razor-sharp prose, Daisy paints a vital and insightful modern day portrait of what it means to be a queer woman in 2021. -
''Oh my GOD, it''s GORGEOUS. Funny, warm, all about people. Has the same generosity-of-spirit she does. You''ll LOVE it!'' MARIAN KEYES ''A brilliant story of female friendships ... you can''t help but hear Cox''s voice bounce off the pages.'' HEAT ''So full of humour and heart'' RICHARD OSMAN ''A glorious debut from Sara, with the feel-good factor.'' PRIMA ''This story has Sara''s voice ringing true throughout. A fresh, cheeky, insightful take on how change can happen through female friendships.'' DAWN FRENCH ''I absolutely loved it and adore the characters. Read it immediately!'' CLAUDIA WINKLEMAN ''Riotous, unpredictable and lovely'' JO BRAND ''It''s full of priceless pith and whip-crack observation, but has wonderful warmth at its core too.'' MEL GIEDROYC The wise and gloriously big-hearted debut novel from the much-loved broadcaster, Sara Cox Becky: a single mum who prides herself on her independence. She knows from painful experience that men are trouble.
Louise: a loving husband, gorgeous kids. She ought to feel more grateful.
Jameela: all she''s ever done is work hard, and try her best. Why won''t life give her the one thing she really wants?
Sheila: the nest is empty, she dreams of escaping to the sun, but her husband seems so distracted.
The inhabitants of the Inventor''s Housing Estate keep themselves to themselves. There are the friendly ''Hellos'' when commutes coincide and the odd cheeky eye roll when the wine bottles clank in number 7''s wheelie bin, but it''s not exactly Ramsay Street.
The dilapidated community centre is no longer the beating heart of the estate that Becky remembers from her childhood. So the new pottery class she''s helped set up feels like a fresh start. And not just for her.
The assorted neighbours come together to try out a new skill, under the watchful eye of their charismatic teacher, Sasha. And as the soft unremarkable lumps of clay are hesitantly, lovingly moulded into delicate vases and majestic pots, so too are the lives of four women. Concealed passions and heartaches are uncovered, relationships shattered and formed, and the possibility for transformation is revealed. -
Some things are a given. The value of a good education. Time''s progress. Death.
Except most of the ideas that form Western Civilisation are just that - ideas. Taking cues from Greek philosophy and honed in the Enlightenment, certain notions about humanity and human society grew into the tenets we live by, and we haven''t questioned them a great deal since. But isn''t it time we asked who really benefits from the values at the core of our society? How much truth lies in a science that conjured up ''race''? Who do laws and nations really protect? Why does it feel like time is money? What even is ''art''?
And the real question - is the West really as ''civilised'' as it thinks it is?
This book will put everything back on the table and ask readers to reconsider what they thought they knew about civilisation. Taking 10 core values of Western Civilisation in turn, it will examine the root of the idea, how it developed, and how it''s impacted the way we live. Most importantly it will reveal how each of these ideas was either created in opposition to another group of people, or based on ideas they had first (and better).
Uncivilised will ask readers to open their eyes to the why behind how they think the world works. -

A Scatter of Light is a companion novel to the National Book Awards winner and New York Times bestseller Last Night at the Telegraph Club, and is about how the threads of family, inspiration, art, and identity are woven across generations.

Why is Africa still perceived as a country when there are around 2,000 languages spoken on the continent alone?
IT''S A CONTINENT aims to counter the misconception that Africa is a country by breaking down this vast, beautiful and complex continent into regions and countries. Each of the 54 African countries has a unique history and culture, and this book highlights the key historical moments that have shaped each nation and contributed to its global position, as well as within the African continent.
Each chapter (focusing on a different country) of the book brings to light stories and African figures that have been marginalised in mainstream education, in a humorous and easily-digestible format, breaking down facts and events that you wouldn''t believe happened.
Why is the Liberian flag so similar to the Stars and Stripes of the United States? Have you heard about Thomas Sankara''s quest for Burkina Faso''s self-sufficiency? African soldiers'' contribution to World War II?
There are many aspects of history that mainstream education doesn''t address, and this book allows the reader to understand the consequences of historical colonial activities within the African Continent, and how many African countries continue to re-build. The majority of countries within the continent are young, not just in population but in age, as many only gained independence in the 20th Century. IT''S A CONTINENT is the bold and brilliant book for readers who want to gain an understanding of things you were never taught in school. -

No comprehensive biography of the time Paul McCartney spent with Wings has ever been published. A period often dismissed as McCartney''s ''missing'' years, in fact the band lasted for a decade: two years longer than the Beatles, and wielded such impact and influence that they at one point achieved the status as the biggest live band in the world. Band on the Run sold over 6 million copies worldwide and became EMI''s biggest selling album of the 1970s in the UK.
Music biographer Lesley-Ann Jones has met McCartney many times and knew his late wife Linda. Here she shows how crucial Linda was to the evolution of Wings - at great cost to herself given the ridicule she was to encounter. But Linda saw that McCartney needed the band in the wake of the break up of the Beatles.
Drawing on extensive interviews and her trademark meticulous research, the author shows how this period in Paul McCartney''s career was to become crucial not only to his development as an artist, but to his very survival. -

He wants to give every individual great life-changing blessings, beginning when that individual is born. God will do everything to make it happen, but He will never infringe on an individual's free will, which a good reason for us to engage intelligent conversation with him - listening as well as asking - in prayer.'

Held up by rebel forces in a brutal siege, John Porter is tested to the limit in the African jungle. Strikeback hero John Porter is sent on a mission with Regimental scallywag John Bald. Where Porter plays it by the book, Bald will always want to break the rules. They are sent to Sierra Leone to extract Ronald Soames, a former CO of the Regiment and now right-hand man to the President. But when Porter and Bald arrive the Englishman has disappeared, leaving a trail of destruction in his wake. Rebels are threatening to take over the country and its diamond mines - and to massacre all foreigners. Porter and Bald find themselves fighting shoulder to shoulder with the Regiment psychopath who is already embedded in the country. But it soon becomes clear that the Firm has lied to them about the true nature of the mission. What seems at first to be a battle to control Sierra Leone's diamond mines will turn out to about a much greater evil - and with a trail that leads back to both Westminster and the Kremlin.

My dear Kabul give me your hand, put your head on my shoulder and don''t be afraid, don''t think you are alone, we are here for you.
In August 2021 a women''s creative writing group in Afghanistan shared news of political turmoil and the Fall of Kabul. These 18 women were in the process of publishing a short story collection when their world was turned upside down by the Taliban. In staying connected via WhatsApp messages, they established a lifeline; a vital space to keep their creativity alive, support for each other and bore witness to the events unfolding around them.
A Song for Afghanistan is their story, a collective diary of a year living under the Taliban. As they watched cities fall, schools close, families change and freedoms disappear, they shared stories of chaos, protest and flight. As a group, they reflected on the scope of female experience; mothers and doctors, students and teachers, those who had lived under the Taliban, and those who couldn''t imagine it. In sharing their stories, they created a place of community and strength in the face of terror. -
"A love story like no other" Gay Times
"The book is a sensory feast, teeming with vivid detail: the smells of rain-soaked dirt and magnolia blossoms, the flavors of blistered corn and caramelized orange peel, the chill of a walk-in refrigerator." New York Times
"Yerba Buena is at turns decadent and spare, intimate and elusive, as balanced, fragrant, and masterfully crafted as a fine cocktail in the hands of someone mysterious and beautiful. This book is a precious thing." - Casey McQuiston, New York Times bestselling author of One Last Stop
When Sara Foster runs away from home at sixteen, she leaves behind not only the losses that have shattered her world but the girl she once was, capable of trust and intimacy. Years later, in Los Angeles, she is a sought-after bartender, renowned as much for her brilliant cocktails as for the mystery that clings to her.
Across the city, Emilie Dubois is in a holding pattern. In her seventh year and fifth major as an undergraduate, she yearns for the beauty and community her Creole grandparents cultivated but is unable to commit. On a whim, she takes a job arranging flowers at the glamorous restaurant Yerba Buena and embarks on an affair with the married owner.
When Sara catches sight of Emilie one morning at Yerba Buena, their connection is immediate. But the damage both women carry, and the choices they have made, will pull them apart again and again.
At once exquisite and expansive, astonishing in its humanity and heart, Yerba Buena is a love story about two women finding their way in the world. -

''What a storyteller!'' ELIZABETH DAY
''His writing is evocative and perfect'' MARIAN KEYES
Frankie Howe has lived a long life and her small London flat is crammed full of art, furniture and memories. Damian, her young carer, listens as she gradually tells him parts of her story - a story that takes us into a progressive, daring world of New York artists on the brink of fame, aspiring writers and larger-than-life characters.

But the outsider holds certain advantages, sees things others don''t, can influence without drawing attention. And when the map has been lost, it''s anyone''s guess where you may end up, or the accidental choices you find you have made. Frankie discovers that life is not always the one we hope for, or the one others expect of us.
Taking us from Ireland in the 1940s to the dazzling art scene of 1960s New York by way of London, Frankie is an immersive, decade-sweeping story that brims with Graham Norton''s trademark heart, intelligence and compellingly written characters. -

Empire of the elite : Condé nast and the American publishing dream
Michael Grynbaum
- Coronet
- 16 Juin 2025
- 9781399707220
Empire of the Elite will bring to light the complicated, class-anxious characters behind Vogue, Vanity Fair, the New Yorker, GQ, Bon Appetit, and many other titles who manufactured a vision of luxury and sophistication that shaped consumer habits, cultural trends, intellectual attitudes and political beliefs the world over. It will explore how even today, as the company convulses amidst financial losses and tense debates about its own culture, we are indebted to the Conde aesthetic and ethos. The book will offer readers a new way of thinking about class, influence and the things we value - accompanied by no small serving of delicious gossip, behind-the-curtain stories, and newsworthy tidbits about the celebrities and personalities featured in the glossy pages of Conde Nast''s magazines.
It will also tell the story of an awkward and shy billionaire, Si Newhouse, who relished the power, control, and stature that his company afforded him while he hid behind the larger-than-life editors whom he turned into media stars (while never letting them forget who was boss). And it is a story of outsiders becoming insiders, as the cultural, Hollywood, and media elite replaced the Ivy League East Coast WASPs that had defined American notions of status and prestige from the 1800s through the 1960s, and the story of the ultimate influencers before the term was coined. -

This year marks the 40th anniversary of Total Eclipse of the Heart, one of the most famous power ballads of all time. Now as Bonnie approaches 50 years in the business she continues to move with the times, releasing new music and constantly touring the world.
A happy childhood of music and freedom is conjured up here, along with the trickier side to being a woman in the music industry in the 1980s. Bonnie will speak with her characteristic no-nonsense humour and candour to create an inspiring and entertaining story of success, longevity and staying true to your roots. -

There''s a Cornish saying that nothing is left behind in an autumnal tide, the powerful tug between the sun and the equator makes the water surface stronger, and it pulls and builds until we are left with what is known as great tides - but as I stand here on my childhood beach someplace in my 40s, all I can see is the stretch of grey rocks and sand where the ebb has come and gone.
Natasha Carthew grew up in rural poverty in Cornwall, battling limited opportunities, precarious resources, escalating property prices, isolation and a community marked by the ravages of inequality. Her world existed alongside the postcard picture Cornwall, where wealth and privilege converged on sandy beaches and expensive second homes.
In the rockpools and hedgerows of the natural world, Natasha found solace in the beauty of the landscape, and in the mobile library she found her means of escape. In her first non-fiction book she returns to the cliff-paths of her childhood, determined to make sense of an upbringing shaped by political neglect and a life defined by the beauty of nature.
Undercurrent is part-memoir, part-investigation, part love-letter to Cornwall. It is a vivid, powerful exploration of rural poverty, and the often devastating impact of living without the means or support to build a future. This is a journey through place, and a story of hope, beauty, and fierce resilience. -
In this riveting, definitive biography, acclaimed author Mary Gabriel details the meteoric rise and enduring influence of perhaps the greatest pop icon of the modern era: Madonna.
With her arrival on the pop music scene in the early 1980s, Madonna generated nothing short of an explosion - as great as that of Elvis or the Beatles or Michael Jackson - taking the nation by storm with her liberated politics and breathtaking talent. Within two years of her 1983 debut album, a shopping mall in California was nicknamed "The Madonna Mall" because it was overrun with"Material Girls". Later that year, the flagship Macy''s store in Manhattan held a Madonna lookalike contest featuring Andy Warhol as a judge, and opened a department called "Madonna-land".
Everywhere, women and men gravitated to the singer and actor as an emblem of a new age, one in which the women''s liberation could shed the buttoned-down demeanor and reserved seriousness of the ''60s and ''70s and continue to make tremendous strides for a new generation. Topping charts again and again with provocative, visionary music and videos, Madonna brought queer and sexually-curious identities into the mainstream, fiercely defending a person''s right to love whomever, and the space to be who they wanted.
Now, after almost 45 years in the spotlight, no stranger to controversy, Madonna stands as one of the staunchest supporters of women''s and LGBTQ+ rights and continues to represent a lionized emblem of liberation throughout the world.
Deftly tracing the artist''s life and influence from her Michigan roots through to her sold out concerts in Lisbon, Buenos Aires, London, and Malawi, master biographer Mary Gabriel captures the inspiration, fame, and activism of one of the greatest pop icons of our time. -
You don''t fully appreciate how large a donkey''s head is until it''s beside you in a Fiat Punto. The view in my mirror was furry and violent. I was driving blind.
Driving with a donkey stuffed in the back seat; jackdaws pecking brains out through the roof of a confessional box; cat piss and astronauts. This is the world not as you see it, but as it is, twisted from the maverick mind of Blindboy Boatclub.
These are stories of the strange unsettlings in the souls of men caught in between the past and the possible; stories of heart-blinding rage and disquieting compassion.
Taking its title from a twelfth-century English manuscript of the same name, which dehumanised the people and culture of Ireland to facilitate domination, Topographia Hibernica is a collection that unravels the knotted threads of humanity, nature and colonisation from a contemporary Irish perspective.
Called ''one of the most gifted writers of his generation'' by the Irish Times, Blindboy Boatclub is the essential voice for the Irish condition in the twenty-first century. Topographia Hibernica is his unmissable new short-story collection. -
STRONG FEMALE LEAD - RETHINKING LEADERSHIP IN A WORLD GONE WRONG
Arwa Mahdawi
- Coronet
- 26 Mai 2022
- 9781529360677
Women have been taught to ''lean in'' and act like men to get ahead. But as the financial, environmental, and social systems crumble, isn''t it time we had a different plan?
The first two decades of the twenty-first century have seen financial collapse, a global pandemic, the devastation of our environment and the disintegration of democracies. But while some at the top are telling us ''it is what is it'', there''s a new generation of leaders showing the world how to be better. They''re building trust, investing wisely and acting decisively. And they''ve got one thing in common.
In Strong Female Lead, Arwa Mahdawi investigates the qualities demonstrated by female leaders who show us how it''s done, including original research and interviews with Madeleine Albright, Mary Robinson, Audrey Tang and many others. Above all, she asks the question: What can women in power teach all of us about leadership?
