All In It Together by Alwyn Turner is out today! Perhaps the Brexit vote shouldn't have come as such a shock. In Cool Britannia's long hangover, every pillar of British society seemed to sink into a mire of its own making, from the Church to the banks to the great offices of state. Even the BBC lost its reassuring dignity (though the private schools were doing rather well: their former pupils were everywhere). We were losing our faith in the system. How did it come to this? Weaving politics and popular culture into a mesmerising tapestry, historian Alwyn Turner tells the definitive story of the Blair, Brown and Cameron years. Through the Iraq War and the 2008 crash, the rebirth of light entertainment and the rise of the 'problematic', Turner shows how the crisis in the soul of a nation played out in its daily dramas and nightly entertainments. On Downing Street as on Benefits Street, this is what the road to Brexit was paved with. Don’t miss this biting and original history which places culture front and centre to explain how our country went to pieces. #AllInItTogether #AlwynTurner #history #politics #popularculture #nonfiction #bookstagram

‘Hugely engaging ... splendidly readable ... Turner's genius lies in finding the odd little stories that get under the nation's skin and reveal what people were really thinking. And he is brilliant, in particular, on popular culture, devoting pages to detective novels and cookery shows ... he writes with a tremendous sense of fun. The result is a rare thing: not just a serious work of contemporary history, but an unashamed, 24-carat hoot’ Dominic Sandbrook, The Sunday Times A review can’t get much better than this! Don’t miss this biting and original history which places culture front and centre to explain how our country went to pieces. All In It Together by Alwyn Turner is out next week! #AllInItTogether #AlwynTurner #history #politics #popularculture #nonfiction #bookstagram

'Shot through with honesty, heartbreak and joy. I loved it' Adam Kay An Extra Pair of Hands, the extraordinary new book by bestselling author, Kate Mosse is out today! Here, Kate Mosse tells her personal story of finding herself as a carer in middle age: first, helping her mother look after her beloved father through Parkinson's, then supporting her mother in widowhood, and finally as 'an extra pair of hands' for her 90-year-old mother-in-law. This is a story about the gentle heroism of our carers, about small everyday acts of tenderness, and finding joy in times of crisis. It's about juggling priorities, mind-numbing repetition, about guilt and powerlessness, about grief, and the solace of nature when we're exhausted or at a loss. It is also about celebrating older people, about learning to live differently – and think differently about ageing. But most of all, it's a story about love. Find a signed copy over at Waterstones.com (link in bio). Have you read Kate Mosse's books before? Tell us in the comments! #katemosse #anextrapairofhands #newbook #memoir #bookstagram

Read by the extraordinary Kate Mosse, the audiobook of An Extra Pair of Hands is out on Thursday! Don’t miss this deeply moving story of what it means to care for those we love - by bestselling author Kate Mosse, writer of Labyrinth and The City of Tears. As our population ages, more and more of us find ourselves caring for parents and loved ones - some 8.8 million people in the UK. An invisible army of carers holding families together. Here, Kate Mosse tells her personal story of finding herself as a carer in middle age: first, helping her mother look after her beloved father through Parkinson's, then supporting her mother in widowhood, and finally as 'an extra pair of hands' for her 90-year-old mother-in-law. This is a story about the gentle heroism of our carers, about small everyday acts of tenderness, and finding joy in times of crisis. It's about juggling priorities, mind-numbing repetition, about guilt and powerlessness, about grief, and the solace of nature when we're exhausted or at a loss. It is also about celebrating older people, about learning to live differently - and think differently about ageing. But most of all, it's a story about love. 'A truly beautiful book, shot through with honesty, heartbreak and joy. I loved it' Adam Kay 'Luminous with love' Nicci Gerrard 'A celebration of ageing, womanhood and what love really means' Christie Watson, author of The Language of Kindness Out in audio on Thursday, read by the author! #AnExtraPairofHands #KateMosse #memoir #caring #carers #nonfiction #bookstagram
