					<description><![CDATA[<em><strong>Poetry To StarDust</strong></em>, <em><strong>or PTSD,</strong></em> <em>When twin flames burn to the ground,</em> is my memoir written in poetic verse. Through poetry, I trace the arc of trauma: a love story that turned into something far darker. Across nine parts, the book takes the reader through a journey of love, illusion, survival, pain, and ultimately, healing.

My story begins with falling deeply in love, not with a person as they truly were, but with the version they presented to the world: someone who seemed to embody everything I had ever dreamed of. What felt like a perfect love slowly revealed itself to be something far darker, as the dream fractured into a nightmare of emotional and domestic abuse.

Alone in Ireland, far from my family and without a support system, I found myself navigating a reality I never imagined I would face.

Through each part of this memoir, I explore the aftermath of domestic violence, the invisible wounds, the lingering trauma, and the weight of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). Yet within that darkness, there is movement toward healing. Through poetry, I began to reclaim my voice, transforming pain into something that reaches beyond survival.
<div class="preformatted-block" data-component-name="PreformattedTextBlockToDOM">
<pre class="text"><em>Poetry To StarDust</em> is both my testimony and my offering. I share my truth in the hope that the cycle of domestic violence may be interrupted, that others may find recognition, strength, and a way out, or, at the <em>very least, <strong>feel seen.</strong></em></pre>
<pre class="text">Sometimes, 
                   being seen 
                   can be everything.</pre>

					<description><![CDATA[<div dir="auto">"In Famine: Voices of a Lost Generation, author, historian and story-teller Joe McGowan brings into focus one of the most poignant chapters in Irish history. Through eyewitness accounts, official records, family memory, and folklore, he reconstructs a vivid, deeply human story of hunger, eviction, disease, and exile, in a journey from the poorest cabin to the 'big house' and on to the ill-fated coffin ships.</div>
<div dir="auto"></div>
<div dir="auto">As chairman and founding member of the County Sligo Famine Commemoration Committee, McGowan is uniquely placed to write about the devastating impact of An Gorta Mór, The Great Hunger. Bringing together the authority of the historian and the sensitivity of the seanchaí, he traces its human consequences and enduring legacy, offering a compassionate account of loss, resilience, and remembrance."</div>]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[<div class="strike">Description</div>
<div class="productDescription">From the creators of the internationally bestselling, award-winning, multi-adapted phenomenon The Lost Words: a dazzling celebration of birdlife in Britain, re-imagining the classic field guide for a new generation of nature loversA great thinning of the skies is underway. Around 50% of bird species are in decline worldwide. Our dawns and springs are quieter each year than the last.

An almost unimaginable abundance has been lost. It does not have to be this way –– but we will not save what we do not love. The Book of Birds is a compendium of forty-nine bird species, from Avocet to Yellowhammer, all of which are declining or endangered in Britain.

Inspired by the classic bird-books with which the authors grew up, this is a field guide with a difference. It asks not ‘What is that bird?’, but ‘Who is that bird?’ It shows its readers how to identify birds, but also how to identify with them. With lyrical precision and playfulness, Robert Macfarlane evokes each bird’s habits and habitats –– their patterns of flight and of song, how they hunt and gather, how they nest and raise their young, the stories and myths which attend them, the threats which shadow them, and how their wild lives intersect with our own.</div>]]></description>

<b>A MOST ANTICIPATED BOOK OF 2026 IN <i>VOGUE, BBC, NEW YORK TIMES, W MAGAZINE, TOWN &#38; COUNTRY

'A beautifully written eulogy for the loss of a relationship' <i>Joyce Carol Oates</i>

'Beautiful... devastating ... <i>Strangers</i> reads with all the momentum and colour of water-tight literary fiction'</b><i><b> British Vogue</b></i>

<b><i>How do we go on when a loved one betrays us?</i></b>

On a chilly day in March of 2020, in the early days of the pandemic, Belle Burden s husband of twenty years announced, with no prior warning, that he was leaving her.

His decision shocked Belle to her core: she believed he was a happy man, a committed partner, and a devoted father to their three children. She thought he was a man who had settled into the life he had always wanted: a successful career, summers spent at their beloved home on Martha s Vineyard, lots of tennis. Overnight, he transformed from her steady companion into a stranger.

As she pieces her life together in the wake of a loss she had never imagined coming, she finds she is much stronger than she ever expected.

Exploring the transformation of a shy, quiet girl, nicknamed Belle the Good to a powerful, brave, determined woman who has learned to use her voice to expose the patriarchal structures that have forced women to be discreet and compliant for far too long, <i>Strangers </i>is a must-read memoir of self-discovery.

					<description><![CDATA[From the Orwell Prize-winning author of My Fourth Time, We Drowned comes a powerful account of human resilience, capturing our capacity for love and connection against all odds. We live in an era defined by crisis – whether it be war and displacement, or climate collapse and rapidly widening inequality. Acclaimed international correspondent Sally Hayden has spent her career covering some of the darkest moments of our time, and yet even in the face of unimaginable adversity, she’s witnessed the love and care of everyday people.

Hayden introduces us to a couple separated by the Russian invasion of Ukraine and a mother in northeast Nigeria who risks everything to save her daughter from forced marriage to Boko Haram militants. We meet a group of Syrian women searching tirelessly for their missing spouses and children, while launching a call for justice, and learn about letters from the bereaved to the dead, still being written over a decade after the tsunami that devastated Japan. In stories that crisscross the globe, from Uganda to Lebanon, Rwanda to Iraq, Hayden asks us: what if news was recounted through the actions people take for those they love? Would it become harder to dehumanise those who seem different to us? This is Also a Love Story dares us to recognise how love can be found in even the most difficult of times, and to question what might be needed to create a better world.

‘Shows us that in the midst of war, around the most acute suffering, there is also tremendous heroism’ NATHAN THRALL, author of A Day in the Life of Abed Salama ‘ Sally Hayden uncovers miracles. She may be one herself’ ALEX PERRY, author of Blood Will Flow ‘A beautifully penned tribute to what can keep us human in the face of catastrophe. Read this book to lighten your soul’ ANTONY LOEWENSTEIN, author of The Palestine Laboratory]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[The incredible first memoir from the Booker-winning radical icon Arundhati Roy, author of The God of Small ThingsTHE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLERFOYLES BOOK OF THE YEAR 2025AUDIBLE BOOK OF THE YEAR 2025BLACKWELL'S NON-FICTION BOOK OF THE YEAR 2025WINNER OF THE GOOGLE PLAY BEST OF 2025 AWARDSHORTLISTED FOR WATERSTONES BOOK OF THE YEAR 2025SHORTLISTED FOR THE BRITISH BOOK AWARDS BOOK OF THE YEAR 2026SHORTLISTED FOR THE WOMENS PRIZE FOR NONFICTION 2026Arundhati Roy’s first work of memoir, this is a soaring account, both intimate and inspiring, of how the author became the person and the writer she is, shaped by circumstance, but above all by her relationship to her extraordinary, singular mother Mary, who she describes as ‘my shelter and my storm’. Distraught and even a “little ashamed” at the intensity of her response to the death of the mother she ran from at age eighteen, Arundhati began to write Mother Mary Comes to Me. The result is this astonishing, disconcerting, surprisingly funny chronicle—unique and simultaneously universal, of the author’s life, from childhood to the present, from Kerala to Delhi.

With the scale, sweep, and depth of her novels and the passion, political clarity, and warmth of her essays, Mother Mary Comes to Me is an ode to freedom, a tribute to thorny love and savage grace—a memoir like no other. 2025 BOOK OF THE YEAR ACCORDING TO NEW STATESMAN, SPECTATOR, TIME, INDEPENDENT, FINANCIAL TIMES, ECONOMIST, OBSERVER]]></description>
