‘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

The Pink Line by Mark Gevisser is out in paperback today! CHOSEN AS ONE OF THE GUARDIAN'S and FINANCIAL TIMES' BOOKS OF 2020 Six years in the making, The Pink Line follows protagonists from nine countries all over the globe to tell the story of how LGBTQ+ Rights became one of the world's new human rights frontiers in the second decade of the twenty-first century. From refugees in South Africa to activists in Egypt, transgender women in Russia and transitioning teens in the American Mid-West, The Pink Line folds intimate and deeply affecting stories of individuals, families and communities into a definitive account of how the world has changed, so dramatically, in just a decade. And in doing so he reveals a troubling new equation that has come in to play: while same-sex marriage and gender transition are now celebrated in some parts of the world, laws to criminalise homosexuality and gender non-conformity have been strengthened in others. In a work of great scope and wonderful storytelling, this is the groundbreaking, definitive account of how issues of sexuality and gender identity divide and unite the world today. 'In intimate, often tender prose, Gevisser brings to life the complex movement for queer civil rights and the many people on whom it bears.' Colm Toibin, Guardian 'Powerful... meticulously researched' Andrew McMillan, Observer Book of the Week Get your copy of this eye-opening, moving, and crafted with expert research vital journey of epic scope, across the world's most challenging new frontiers! #ThePinkLine #MarkGevisser #LGBTQ #genderstudies #pride #humanrights #nonfiction
