The Whitstable High Tide Swimming Club
A book about the power of female friendship, that never loses sight of the complicated truths behind the lives of women who - from the outside - seem to take everything in their stride. It's also a song to the author's home town of Whitstable, where the sea is smooth, the shingle is painful on bare feet, and the air is full of possibilities.
Dreamland
Set in a future unsettlingly close to home, against a backdrop of soaring inequality and creeping political extremism, Rankin-Gee demonstrates, with cinematic pace and deep humanity, the enduring power of love and hope in a world spinning out of control.
111 Places in Greenwich That You Shouldn't Miss
Which London neighbourhood was the scene of a mythical murder and the venue of one of Nelson and Lady Hamilton’s lusty liaisons? Where can you buy bread from a 3-Michelin starred baker and cheese from the shop where a famous pop star worked? Where can you see London’s Sistine Chapel and play skittles with cannonballs? And where else can you stand astride the line that divides East from West? With 111 Places Greenwich that you Shouldn’t Miss, you can find not only the hidden secrets of London’s maritime borough but also discover another side to its most famous attractions.
