Narrator: Sophie Aldred

Length: 11:18:17

Language: English

Release date: 03-05-20

Publisher: HarperCollins Publishers UK

Genres: Biography & Memoir, Law & Politics, Women

Summary:

A brilliant vivid and intimate new memoir The Daily Mail

For over a decade Kate Fall was the most influential woman in British politics. Alice Thomson, The Times

For eleven years Kate Fall was one of David Camerons closest advisors. During some of the most significant political events of our times the Arab Spring, the financial crash and a European referendum that has changed the face of British politics forever she sat right outside the door of the Prime Ministers office, earning herself the title of gatekeeper.

Fall takes us through the Cameron project, from its inception to coalition, reshuffles, political scandals, two general elections and three referendums. She speaks frankly and honestly about the Conservatives key players, their project to modernise the party, how the coalition worked (and how it didnt). Shedding light on the world behind the public façade of politics, she reveals what it is like to be a woman at the heart of power: the blood, sweat and toil, the victories and regrets, the friendships and fall outs, the chaos and camaraderie.

Politics tests any relationship with its conflicting priorities of loyalty, belief, and personal ambition. The Gatekeeper is a very personal portrait of life behind the scenes at the centre of power.

Title: House of Glass: The story and secrets of a twentieth-century Jewish family

Author: Hadley Freeman

Narrator: Hadley Freeman

Format: Unabridged

Length: 10:16:03

Language: English

Release date: 03-05-20

Publisher: HarperCollins Publishers UK

Genres: Biography & Memoir, Literary, Military, History & Culture

Summary:

The Sunday Times bestseller

An utterly engrossing book Nigella Lawson

Remarkable and gripping Edmund de Waal

'A near-perfect study of Jewish identity in the 20th century I dont hesitate to call it a masterpiece Telegraph

After her grandmother died, Hadley Freeman travelled to her apartment to try and make sense of a woman shed never really known. Sala Glass was a European expat in America defiantly clinging to her French influences, famously reserved, fashionable to the end yet to Hadley much of her life remained a mystery. Salas experience of surviving one of the most tumultuous periods in modern history was never spoken about.

When Hadley found a shoebox filled with her grandmothers treasured belongings, it started a decade-long quest to find out their haunting significance and to dig deep into the extraordinary lives of Sala and her three brothers. The search takes Hadley from Picassos archives in Paris to a secret room in a farmhouse in Auvergne to Long Island and to Auschwitz.

By piecing together letters, photos and an unpublished memoir, Hadley brings to life the full story of the Glass siblings for the first time: Alexs past as a fashion couturier and friend of Dior and Chagall; trusting and brave Jacques, a fierce patriot for his adopted country; and the brilliant Henri who hid in occupied France each of them made extraordinary bids for survival during the Second World War. And alongside her great-uncles extraordinary acts of courage in Vichy France, Hadley discovers her grandmothers equally heroic but more private form of female self-sacrifice.

A moving memoir following the Glass siblings throughout the course of the twentieth-century as they each make their own bid for survival, House of Glass explores assimilation, identity and home issues that are deeply relevant today.

This audiobook includes an exclusive interview between Hadley Freeman and her editor, in which they discuss the themes of the book and illuminate further on some of the extraordinary events detailed within.

Summary:

SHORTLISTED FOR THE BAILLIE GIFFORD PRIZE

SHORTLISTED FOR THE ORWELL PRIZE

A wake-up call Amal Clooney

Devastating rape and sexual abuse continue to be a pervasive and all-too-often hidden feature of conflict zones the world over HM Queen Camilla

From award-winning war reporter and co-author of I Am Malala, this is the first major account to address the scale of rape and sexual violence in modern conflict.

Christina Lamb has worked in war and combat zones for over thirty years. In Our Bodies, Their Battlefield she gives voice to the women of conflicts, exposing how in todays warfare, rape is used by armies, terrorists and militias as a weapon to humiliate, oppress and carry out ethnic cleansing.

Speaking to survivors first-hand, Lamb encounters the suffering and bravery of women in war and meets those fighting for justice. From Southeast Asia where comfort women were enslaved by the Japanese during World War Two to the Rwandan genocide, when an estimated quarter of a million women were raped, to the Yazidi women and children of today who witnessed the mass murder of their families before being enslaved by ISIS. Along the way Lamb uncovers incredible stories of heroism and resistance, including the Bosnian women who have hunted down more than a hundred war criminals, the Aleppo beekeeper rescuing Yazidis and the Congolese doctor who has risked his life to treat more rape victims than anyone else on earth.

Rape may be as old as war but it is a preventable crime. Bearing witness does not guarantee it wont happen again, but it can take away any excuse that the world simply didnt know.

Summary:

Soon to be a major TV series

Shortlisted for the Womens Prize for Fiction 2020

Longlisted for the Booker Prize 2020

The Sunday Times bestselling sequel to Wolf Hall and Bring Up the Bodies, the stunning conclusion to Hilary Mantels Man Booker Prize-winning Wolf Hall trilogy.

If you cannot speak truth at a beheading, when can you speak it?

England, May 1536. Anne Boleyn is dead, decapitated in the space of a heartbeat by a hired French executioner. As her remains are bundled into oblivion, Thomas Cromwell breakfasts with the victors. The blacksmiths son from Putney emerges from the springs bloodbath to continue his climb to power and wealth, while his formidable master, Henry VIII, settles to short-lived happiness with his third queen, Jane Seymour.

Cromwell is a man with only his wits to rely on; he has no great family to back him, no private army. Despite rebellion at home, traitors plotting abroad and the threat of invasion testing Henrys regime to breaking point, Cromwells robust imagination sees a new country in the mirror of the future. But can a nation, or a person, shed the past like a skin? Do the dead continually unbury themselves? What will you do, the Spanish ambassador asks Cromwell, when the king turns on you, as sooner or later he turns on everyone close to him?

With The Mirror and the Light, Hilary Mantel brings to a triumphant close the trilogy she began with Wolf Hall and Bring Up the Bodies. She traces the final years of Thomas Cromwell, the boy from nowhere who climbs to the heights of power, offering a defining portrait of predator and prey, of a ferocious contest between present and past, between royal will and a common mans vision: of a modern nation making itself through conflict, passion and courage.

Format: Unabridged

Length: 9:26:47

Language: English

Release date: 03-03-20

Publisher: HarperCollins Publishers UK

Genres: Non-Fiction, Science & Technology, Animals & Nature, Social Science

Summary:

A profound meditation on climate change and the Anthropocene and an urgent search for the fossilsindustrial, chemical, geologicalthat humans are leaving behind

A Times Book of the Year A Daily Telegraph Book of the Year

What will the world look like ten thousand or ten million years from now?

In Footprints, David Farrier explores what traces we will leave for the very deep future. From long-lived materials like plastic and nuclear waste, to the 50 million kilometres of roads spanning the planet, in modern times we have created numerous objects and landscapes with the potential to endure through deep time. Our carbon could linger in the atmosphere for 100,000 years, and the remains of our cities will still exist millions of years from now as a layer in the rock. These future fossils have the potential to tell remarkable stories about how we lived in the twenty-first century.

Through literature, art, and science, Footprints invites us to think about how we will be remembered in the myths, stories, and languages of our distant descendants. Travelling from the Baltic Sea to the Great Barrier Reef, and from an ice core laboratory in Tasmania to Shanghai, one of the worlds biggest cities, David Farrier tells a story of a world that is changing rapidly, and with long-term consequences. Footprints will not only alter how you think about the future, it will change how you see the world today.
