A BITTERSWEET MEMOIR OF LOVE, SOLITUDE AND SAYING THE UNSAYABLE WITH FOOD
What is the most unsayable thing you have ever wanted to say to your parents? For newly single food journalist Candice Chung, there’s been one thing on her mind lately: she has never told them, ‘I love you’. Simple. Reasonable. If only her estranged Cantonese parents weren’t so allergic to the word ‘love’.

£10.99
Acclaimed historian Paul French takes a headlong dive into Wallis Simpson’s early, formative years –and into the chaotic and thrilling China of the 1920s – to explore the untold story of a woman too often maligned by history. From the breakdown of her abusive first marriage to undertaking dangerous undercover diplomatic missions in a China torn by civil war, Wallis established her confidence and independence, developed her unique fashion sense, and forged lifelong friendships. She emerged from that year in China as the elegant, stylish, cosmopolitan and worldly woman for whom a king gave up his throne.

In the woods above Polly Atkin’s home in Grasmere, Cumbria live the tawny owls she calls her neighbours. Each night, they come down to her cottage at dusk, calling out as night falls – in particular a trio of owlets she watches grow from fledglings to young adults. The Company Of Owls is a love song to these incredible creatures, and a reflection on what makes them, and us, unique.
THREE RIVERS
Robert Winder

. TPB
£16.99
Three of Europe’s greatest rivers begin in the same patch of Alpine ice in the jagged heights of Switzerland. The Rhine, the Rhone and the Po have not only shaped the landscape, carving out the valleys in which humans settled, but also the structure of Europe’s societies; laid the foundation for its economies; and enriched its cultural diversity, shaping its languages, religion, philosophy, art science and politics. Three Rivers follows these extraordinary rivers as they journey through the dramatic landscapes of Europe, while meditating on the enormous cultural consequences that have, quite literally, flowed from their presence.

9781783969067
PB . £10.99
As the nights draw in and the cold descends, the winter world emerges – and with it an incredible array of words that superbly capture the season, from frost-dogs (tiny frozen particles of falling snow) and Stepmother’s breath (a sudden cold snap) to hibernaculum (a winter refuge) and crapulent (feeling the aftereffects of overindulgence). The musthave Christmas word giftbook by the bestselling Haggard Hawks etymologist, now in paperback.
