A girl walks through the slums of Kolkata holding A girl walks through the slums of Kolkata holding an armful of books. She returns home smelling of smoke and checks her most prized possession; a brand-new smartphone, purchased in instalments. On Facebook, there is only one conversation - Kolabagan Terrorist Attack. On the small, glowing screen, she types a dangerous thing... “If the police didn’t help ordinary people like you and me, if the police watched them die, doesn’t that mean that the government is also a terrorist?” 🔥 Set in contemporary India, A Burning is the story of three unforgettable characters, all dreaming of a better future, whose lives are changed forever when they become caught up in the devastating aftermath of a terrorist attack. 🔥 Jivan - a young, idealistic Muslim woman who dreams of a better life - faces a passionless death sentence after being accused of collaborating with the terrorist. 🔥 Lovely - a glorious outcast who longs to be a Bollywood star - holds the alibi that can set Jivan free, but telling the truth will cost her everything she holds dear. 🔥 Pt Sir - an opportunistic gym teacher who once taught Jivan - becomes involved with Hindu nationalist politics and his own ascent is soon inextricably linked to Jivan’s fall. 🔥 Taut, propulsive and electrifying, from its opening lines to its astonishing finale, A Burning confronts issues of class, fate, prejudice and corruption with a Dickensian sense of injustice, and asks us to consider what it means to nurture big ambitions in a country hurtling towards political extremism. 🔥 A Burning is a novel for our times and for all time.
Since childhood, the natural world had been a sour Since childhood, the natural world had been a source of joy and a refuge for Richard Mabey - if not buried in a hedge or climbing trees, he wandered the countryside around Berkhamsted in the Chilterns, often to escape the controlling ways of his alcoholic father. But towards the end of the 1990s, at the very height of his career as a naturalist and author, the touchstones of his life - a love for nature and the land - became meaningless and no longer offered him solace. He was a pit of deep, all-consuming depression. Unable to rise from bed, unable to write, the fascination and passion that nature had inspired in him all of his boyhood and adult life had vanished. 🍃🍂 Over time, with the help of good friends and a move from the Chiltern Hills to East Anglia, he started to recover an intimacy with the natural world that he feared he had lost forever. He also began writing again, encouraged by his new partner, Polly, to keep a diary of his daily observations and journeys into the Norfolk flatlands. It was from these jottings that Nature Cure emerged, a masterpiece, exquisitely crafted and full of nuance, energy and hope. 🍃🍂 Originally published in 2005, it is now regarded as a literary classic, pioneering the entwining of an author’s life with the natural world. With a new foreword by the author, this special edition of Nature Cure is part of a hardback library published by Little Toller to celebrate the originality and enduring relevance of Richard Mabey’s writing.
Magic and love Love and magic They destroy every Magic and love Love and magic They destroy everything in the end... 🧵🪡 Anna’s aunt has always warned her of the dangers of magic. Its twists. Its knots. Its deadly consequences. Now Anna counts down the days to the ceremony that will bind her magic forever. Until she meets Effie and Attis. They open her eyes to a London she never existed. A shop that sells memories. A secret library where the librarian feeds off words. A club where revellers lose themselves in a haze of spells. But as she is swept deeper into this world, Anna begins to wonder if her aunt was right all along. Is her magic a gift or a curse?

In the beginning was the earth... 🐑 From the Pa In the beginning was the earth... 🐑 From the Paleozic volcanoes that stained its soil, to the Saxons who occupied it, to the Tudors who traded its wool, to the Land Girls of wartime, John Lewis-Stempel charts a sweeping, lyrical history of Woodston: the quintessential English farm. 🐖 With his combined skills of farmer and historian, he digs deeper into written records, the memories of relatives, and the landscape itself to celebrate the farmland his family have been bound to for millennia. 🐑 Through Woodston’s life, we find the joyful arrival of oxen ploughing; we see pigs rootling in the medieval apple orchard, and take in the sharp, drowsy fragrance of hops on Edwardian air. Lewis-Stempel draws upon his wealth of historical knowledge and his innate sense of place to create a passionate, fascinating biography of farming in England. 🐖 Woodston reminds us not only of the rural riches buried beneath our feet but of our shared roots that tie us to the land.
