The Wild Silence by Raynor Winn
Hardback RRP £14.99 £12 in store with the offer
We loved ‘The Salt Path’ so we’re happy to return to the windswept coast and catch up with Raynor and Moth as they take on the new challenge of a neglected farmhouse in Cornwall. Rewilding the land around it and returning nature to it’s hedgerows. The Wild Silence is a luminous story of hope triumphing over despair, of the human spirit's instinctive connection to nature, and of lifelong love prevailing over everything.
Shuggie Bain by Douglas Stuart
Hardback RRP £14.99 £12 in store with the offer
Winner of the Booker Prize 2020. It’s the 1980’s and Glasgow is dying and good families must grift to survive. Douglas Stuart's Shuggie Bain lays bare the ruthlessness of poverty, the limits of love, and the hollowness of pride. 'We were bowled over by this first novel, which creates an amazingly intimate, compassionate, gripping portrait of addiction, courage and love.' - The judges of the Booker Prize
My Name Is Why by Lemn Sissay
Paperback RRP £9.99 £7.99 in store with the offer
This is Lemn's story: a story of neglect and determination, misfortune and hope, cruelty and triumph. Sissay reflects on his childhood, self-expression and Britishness, and in doing so explores the institutional care system, race, family and the meaning of home. Written with all the lyricism and power you would expect from one of the nation's best-loved poets, this moving, frank and timely memoir is the result of a life spent asking questions, and a celebration of the redemptive power of creativity.
The Boy Who Loved Everyone by Jane Porter and Maisie Paradise Shearring
Paperback RRP £7.99 £6.40 in store with the offer
A sweet and charmingly illustrated picture book about the ways we express love. "I love you," Dimitri tells everyone, from his friends at nursery to the big tree in the playground. But why does no one say it back? Dimitri worries no one loves him - until he finds out there are lots of different ways love can spread through the world. A touching and uplifting story, perfect for sharing.
The Lost Spells by Robert MacFarlane and Jackie Morris
Hardback RRP £14.99 £12 with the offer
Kindred in spirit to The Lost Words but fresh in its form, The Lost Spells is a pocket-sized treasure that introduces a beautiful new set of natural spell-poems and artwork by beloved creative duo Robert Macfarlane and Jackie Morris. Each "spell" conjures an animal, bird, tree or flower -- from Barn Owl to Red Fox, Grey Seal to Silver Birch, Jay to Jackdaw -- with which we share our lives and landscapes. Moving, joyful and funny, The Lost Spells above all celebrates a sense of wonder, bearing witness to nature's power to amaze, console and bring joy.
