Amid the chaos and political upheaval of 1970s America, three very different women must accept the world as it is, or act to change it.
Phyllis Patterson is a housewife in White Plains, Illinois. Her son Jimmy returns to the family home from Vietnam with a Korean wife and two children. Blindsided by these new additions, particularly her curious granddaughter, Soozie, Phyllis’s small-town world is turned upside down in more ways than she could have ever imagined.
Andrea Dworkin is an activist in Amsterdam. Having fled her abusive husband and their life together, she finds herself desperate for answers, for herself and the world around her. An encounter with Noam Chomsky and Michel Foucault at their infamous Dutch debate provokes her burgeoning independence. Returning to America she will embody a revolution, no matter the price.
Muriel Rukeyser is a poet in New York. Despite protestations from her lover, Monica, Muriel insists on campaigning against injustice, using her words as weapons and pushing her body to its limits. In this era of political unrest, Muriel’s life stands as a testament to the possibility of creative resistance.
A single postcard from an imprisoned writer thousands of miles away will unite these women in the fight for a world they believe in.
Full of compassion, imagination and rich storytelling, Our Better Natures is a powerful novel about language, connection and freedom.
A compelling epic fantasy filled with dragons, court politics and sapphic yearning. This is the Tudor Queens as you have never seen them before.
The king has been appointed by god to marry six queens. Those six queens are all that stand between the kingdom of Elben and ruin. Or so we have been told.
Each queen vies for attention. Clever, ambitious Boleyn is determined to be Henry's favourite. And if she must incite a war to win Henry over? So be it.
Seymour acts as spy and assassin in a court teeming with dragons, backstabbing courtiers and strange magic. But when she and Boleyn become the unlikeliest of things - allies - the balance of power begins to shift. Together they will discover an ancient, rotting magic at Elben's heart. A magic that their king will do anything to protect.
