    The Fall (eBook, ePUB)
    The sins of the past echo in the present in the new literary thriller from crime-critic favourite, Rachael Blok. The bigger the sin, the further the fall... With Easter approaching, the verger of St Albans Cathedral was supposed to be readying the church. Instead he discovers a man lying dead, fallen from the famous 150-foot-high tower. Did he jump, or was he pushed? For DCI Maarten Jansen, it's a simple case of suspected suicide. Until a witness, Willow, prompts a deeper investigation into a long-buried past, involving a psychiatric hospital, a pregnant woman, and fifty years of silence. As Willow's own family history entwines with the case, Jansen starts to wonder how everything is connected. The Fall is a haunting literary thriller about loss, trauma, silence, and how our past shapes who we are. Praise for The Fall: 'Twisty, suspenseful and deeply atmospheric' Harriet Tyce 'Lyrical, assured and simmering with suspense' Victoria Selman 'The Fall is a rare beast... Dark, atmospheric and truly original' Kate Simants 'Uncoils like the snapping of a whip, lashing the past into the present with the revealing of dark family secrets' Dominic Nolan 'Heart-pounding' James Delargy

    The Essential June Jordan
    The definitive introduction to the work of 'the bravest of us . . . the universal poet' (Alice Walker)For the poet and activist June Jordan, neither poetry nor activism could easily be disentangled from the other. Her storied career came to chronicle a living, breathing history of the struggles that defined the USA in the latter half of the twentieth century; and her poetry, accordingly, put its dazzling stylistic range to use in exploring issues of gender, race, immigration, representation and much else besides.Here, above all, are sinuous, lashing and passionate lines, virtuosic in their musicality and always bearing the stamp of Jordan's irrepressible personality. Here are poems of suffusing light and profound anger: poems moved as much by political animus as by a deep love for the observation of human life in all its foibles, eccentricities, strengths and weaknesses.With a foreword by Pulitzer Prize winner Jericho Brown, The Essential June Jordan allows new readers to discover - and old fans to rediscover - the vital work of this endlessly surprising poet who, in the words of Adrienne Rich, believed that 'genuine, up-from-the-bottom revolution must include art, laughter, sensual pleasure, and the widest possible human referentiality.'

    You Get So Alone at Times That It Just Makes Sense , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 149min
    Charles Bukowski examines cats and his childhood in You Get So Alone at Times That It Just Makes Sense, a book of poetry that reveals his tender side. He delves into his youth to analyze its repercussions."You're a bum, he told me/ and you'll always be a bum...and it's too bad he's been dead/ so long/ for now he can't see/ how beautifully I've succeeded/ at/ that." True to his words, this prolific poet loves to play the oversexed bum, continually lashing out at other writers, the rich, and anyone who fails to appreciate his brilliance. This collection takes a new turn, though, as Bukowski, now in his 60s, looks back on some tender memories of youth. Other redeeming features include a self-mocking humor and a love for cats. For fans of larger collections and those whose audiences are not easily offended by four-letter words. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Claire Natale.

    Billy's Bones , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 453min
    Kevin Derocher was thirty-two when he walked into Tom's office, newly married, a baby on the way, and the collar of his red flannel shirt pulled up to hide the bruises around his throat from when he hanged himself in his garage. After his initial consult, therapist Tom Langois believes he'll never see Kevin again-but Kevin turns up three years later to make repairs on Tom's new house. Kevin and Tom become fast friends, and Tom begins to suspect Kevin may be interested in more than friendship. However, Kevin remains haunted by something from his childhood-something so terrible he blocked it from his mind. These suppressed memories make it impossible for Kevin to get close to anyone without panicking and lashing out, sometimes violently. But as his past begins to surface, it becomes apparent that Kevin may hold the key to a twenty-five-year-old mystery: what happened to Billy? ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Gary Roelofs.
