Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. Vulpe Tempest, thwarted in love and disappointed in her hopes to be an artist, has been left in charge of her uncles detective agency for the summer. Against the backdrop of a series of murders in which the victims are all mermaids, she takes on what appears to be the simple case of a missing person. To solve the mystery, she must descend into the dark underworld of the City of Light, its rivalries and its disconcerting and fantastical stories. Part detective novel, part ghost story, here the magical and the real are almost indistinguishable. Everything is visible and nothing is as it seems, and Vulpe brings both tenderness and tenacity to the challenges she must face. This intricately woven tale invites us into a world where instinct delivers as many insights as intellect; where the light is fractured, shattering certainties only to illuminate brilliant hunches, before directing our attention elsewhere, like magic.

Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. Set in South London during the 1970s, Becoming Henry is a sharply observed, big-hearted and brilliantly funny coming-of-age novel. Henry has grand ideas and even grander ambitions. He longs to be recognised - by his family, his peers, and the world - as the comic genius he believes himself to be.Told with emotional precision and wry humour, the story traces Henry's life from his earliest memories in a conventional, emotionally constrained household to the brink of adulthood. Raised in a family where tenderness is elusive and communication often tips into absurdity, Henry finds early refuge in his imagination, music, and books.Adolescence brings contradictions: Henry's idealised sense of himself clashes with a desperate need for connection - particularly romantic or sexual. As he enters his teens, his desire to be desired, combined with a fear of not being enough, results in a phase of anorexia and self-effacement. He lurches from one misjudged crush to another, suffering social humiliations, but also forming deep bonds with other misfit boys who share his anarchic sense of humour.With wit, psychological insight and finesse, the novel explores themes of identity, aspiration, class, and masculinity. It captures the ache of wanting to belong while needing to be seen as different - the longing to be both accepted and exceptional - and the lengths one boy will go to in order to matter.Blending the depth of literary fiction with the accessibility of great storytelling, Becoming Henry is a poignant, funny, and unforgettable portrait of growing up on the fringes. A sharply observed, big-hearted and brilliantly funny coming-of-age novel set in 1970s South London. Henry navigates family tensions, adolescent desire, and the pressures of growing up, while longing to be recognised as the comic genius he believes himself to be. Wry, warm, and psychologically acute. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…

Paperback. Etat : New. David Algar, author of Man Trouble, shines a very particular light on some of the major adjustments required of men as they move from their glory days to their golden years. What happens to identity with the loss of the camaraderie and prestige of the workplace? In an age of bewildering technology and social media, how do men connect with their sense of purpose and each other? Written with his characteristically affectionate sense of humour, this is a celebration of a life still very much in the making - full of spirit and resilience. Algar highlights the gentle satisfaction of doing things not perfectly, but personally. There are plans, half-plans, and happily abandoned plans; there are arduous adventures that take in the length of Britain alongside ill-fated journeys to the chemist; there are meditations on the minutiae of life as well as some of the more serious issues that threaten to undermine men's well-being. The mix is a kind of lucky dip: sincere man-talk for the man on the street, which opens up a space for vulnerability, alongside hilarious accounts of small mishaps that turn into great stories. Full of warmth, wit and a good dose of British charm, this is a great accompaniment for any journey - where every essay prompts a new insight or resolution. or at least justifies a well-earned pint with your mates.…
