Abbey and Money Singh are better known as The Modern Singhs, Kiwi
social media celebrities with a rich and tangled love story to
tell. Shared through the eyes of this inspiring duo, The Modern
Singhs reveals their experiences as migrants to New Zealand as they
struggled to find footing in new surroundings. They describe how
they met and pursued a relationship that was forbidden by Money's
culture, where he felt he had to choose between his family and the
love of his life. The couple opens up about the difficult birth of
their son, their journeys with mental health, a complicated sense
of home, and what it's like to raise bilingual children across
three cultures. The rest is history - or at least uploaded to
YouTube, where Abbey and Money's joyful outlook and celebration of
tradition unites 1.3 million viewers from all over the world,
encouraging others to embrace difference with open hearts.

Shortlisted for the James Cropper Wainwright Prize 2022 for Nature
Writing - Highly Commended Winner for the Richard Jefferies Award
2021 for Best Nature Writing 'A rural, working-class writer in an
all too rarefied field, Chester's work is unusual for depicting the
countryside as it is lived on the economic margins.' The Guardian
'An important portrait of connection to the land beyond ownership
or possession.' Raynor Winn 'It's ever so good. Political,
passionate and personal.' Robert Macfarlane 'Evocative and
inspiring...environmental protest, family, motherhood
and...nature.' Claire Fuller, author of Unsettled Ground, Costa
Novel Award Winner 2021 Nature is everything. It is the place I
come from and the place I got to. It is family. Wherever I am, it
is home and away, an escape, a bolt hole, a reason, a place to
fight for, a consolation, and a way home. As a child growing up in
rural England, Guardian Country Diarist Nicola Chester was
inexorably drawn to the natural landscape surrounding her. Walking,
listening and breathing in the nature around her, she followed the
call of the cuckoo, the song of the nightingale and watched as red
kites, fieldfares and skylarks soared through the endless skies
over the chalk hills of the North Wessex Downs: the ancient land of
Greenham Common which she called home. Nicola bears witness to, and
fights against, the stark political and environmental changes
imposed on the land she loves, whilst raising her family to
appreciate nature and to feel like they belong - core parts of who
Nicola is. From protesting the loss of ancient trees to the
rewilding of Greenham Common, to the gibbet on Gallows Down and
living in the shadow of Highclere Castle (made famous in Downton
Abbey), On Gallows Down shows how one woman made sense of her world
- and found her place in it.
'This book highlights the fact that women are brought up to
understand men's emotional needs but men are not brought up to
understand women's.' Woman Many women today feel that they pour
love, commitment and understanding into their relationships, but
that it is not returned in kind. He seems secure and independent,
she feels insecure and clingy. The truth is that men and women are
both dependent. But his needs are catered to so well - first by his
mother, then by his girlfriend or wife - that he doesn't know he
has them, while her needs for closeness and tenderness are
constantly rebuffed as he retreats from intimacy. Susie Orbach and
Luise Eichenbaum set out to explore this crisis in the
relationships of men and women. They explain how men have learned
to 'manage' their dependency needs very differently to women, and
why women feel dependent and hungry for love. Finally they show why
dependency on both sides is the essential core of any successful
relationship.
