You're not who you say you are. But neither is she.
Olive Anderson has accepted that tonight she'll be dining alone, without her husband. So when a beautiful stranger appears at Olive's dinner table, telling the waiter she's her wife, Olive is immediately unsettled.
But the stranger wants to talk, and isn't this what Olive wants on this lonely winter night? To vent to a perfect stranger? She's too ashamed to tell her real friends the truth - six months into the marriage they all warned her against, her life is a living nightmare.
Perhaps Olive should have asked the fake wife who she's really married to. Perhaps she should have known this chance encounter had something to do with her secretive husband. Because there is a string of missing women connected to Mr Anderson, and by the morning, Olive will be the latest...
The Fake Wife is an unputdownable thriller that will shock and surprise you like the best television boxsets. If you enjoyed Netflix shows like Behind Her Eyes, The Stranger and Obsession you will love The Fake Wife.

An exhibition catalogue accompanying a future Costume Institute
exhibition at The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. Â
Published by The Metropolitan Museum of Art/Distributed by Yale
University Press Â
Set against a backdrop of the year 1066 a mysterious rock
re-emerges after an absence of hundreds of years. On this occasion
the Keeper, for that is what the custodian of the rock is called,
is visited in a dream during the night the star with the hairy tail
shows itself in the sky and is tasked with finding an ancient stone
tablet, hidden by a monk three centuries earlier. Bedwyth, the
monk, could not find it in himself to reveal the contents of the
tablet to the world, fearing it would destroy all that people
believed in, but nor could he destroy it, knowing that to do so
would be destroying the word of God. Now, three hundred years after
his death, a parchment comes to light written by Bedwyth telling of
the tablet and divulging clues to its whereabouts but not its
contents. The Keeper teams up with her cousins and a stranger named
Jehoshua to solve the mystery, but is the stranger all that he
seems or is he holding something back? Something which if it was
revealed would cause as much disturbance as the secrets of the
stone. Others however want the rock the Keeper wears, some
believing it will assist in their quest to conquer England whilst
some want to use its power to seek the ancient tablet, believing
that were it not to be revealed it would go against the will of
God. Others are doing all in their power to have the rock destroyed
in order to keep its secrets safe and thus the tablet of stone. The
Keeper finds herself fleeing for her life as the rival factions try
to wrest the secret of the stone from her. But she has the same
dilemma as the monk, Bedwyth. If the tablet is found should she
disclose its contents or would the world's population be better
kept in ignorance? Events however take a different path as the
Keeper and her companions become embroiled in the events and
battles of the year as first they charge north with King Harold's
army to fight off the Viking invasion before returning south to
face William, Duke of Normandy. The story calls into question many
of the beliefs we grew up with, whilst encompassing the legends,
the fables and the facts surrounding what is possibly the most
famous date in English history. It is a tale of battles and
intrigue, of love, and of grief, of mystery and mayhem but most of
all it tells of one year in history as seen through the eyes of
someone who experienced it and lived to tell the tale.
A mysterious rock, birthed millions of years ago on a dying sun far
from ours, journeys through space on a voyage of a million billion
miles. As it travels it accumulates space debris, particles of
dust, each containing a speck of knowledge, but a knowledge which
will only be divulged to those worthy of receiving it. Eventually
falling to Earth the rock is found by such a person - a child - the
Keeper. In these first two journals of the Keeper's episodes,
follow the adventures, trials and tribulations of the custodians of
the rock as it passes from one Keeper to another through the ages,
normally a small child because their minds are not yet filled with
prejudice or pre-conceived ideas and ideals, but occasionally it is
held by an adult worthy of the title "Keeper". As the tale unfolds
see how the rock influences the course of history, myth and legend
through the ages. From the pre-history of the African plains to
Judea, through Roman Britain and onwards to the Dark Ages of
Arthurian Britain and Eire, the rock has a bearing on many
significant events that shape our lives today. Will the Keepers
remain safe? Or will others attempt to influence events to their
own ends?

Thirty years after Beth Chatto first created her now famous
gardens, The Green Tapestry was published, in which Beth took her
readers on a conducted tour of her gardens while explaining her
planting choices and experiences in making a garden with perennial
plants. Now, a further thirty years on, although Beth is no longer
with us, the gardens continue to demonstrate her ethos of
sustainable planting, which, with climate change an ever more
pressing issue, could not be more relevant today. In Beth Chatto's
Green Tapestry Revisited, David Ward and Asa Gregers-Warg, who
worked alongside Beth for many years and still work at the gardens
today, have updated her guide to her gardens, adding new text where
areas of the garden have been substantially remodelled and
replanted since the first edition, in particular the Gravel Garden,
the Woodland Garden and the Reservoir Garden, with an updated
directory of Beth's favourite perennial plants. Beth's gardens at
Elmstead Market were, in many ways, ahead of their time. Beth's
knowledge as a plantswoman, derived in part from her husband
Andrew's research into plants in their natural habitats, also came
from her own extensive practical experience. She set out to garden
using only those plants that thrived in the available conditions -
damp or dry, sun or shade. It was her talent for observation, her
enthusiasm for learning, and her never-ending interest in the
foliage, form and texture of her preferred perennials, as much as
in their flower colour, that made her a unique voice in British
gardening. Illustrated with specially commissioned photography by
Steven Wooster, who was Beth's preferred photographer of her
gardens, this new edition is a timely tribute to Beth's work. Julia
Boulton, Beth's granddaughter and the CEO of Beth Chatto's Plants
and Gardens, hopes that it will inspire a new generation of
gardeners to plant in tune with nature and create their own
exquisite 'green tapestry' of perennial plants suited to their own
conditions. -- que

Marking the 20th anniversary of the company’s founding, this
comprehensive monograph is the first book on Thom Browne. Â
With a celebrity clientele including Cardi B, Michelle Obama,
LeBron James, and Julia Roberts, among others, Thom Browne is

the suit. As the company’s 20th anniversary nears, Thom
Browne. celebrates the legacy of the house. Specially
commissioned photography by Johnny Dufort features more than 200
looks from past seasons. An introduction by Andrew Bolton, Wendy Yu
curator in charge of The Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume
Institute and creative director of this title, sets the work in
context. The book concludes with a tableau of show installations
that further illustrate the house’s design philosophy and
evolution. Published as a hardback enclosed in a clamshell box, the

stripes. It also includes a Thom Browne grosgrain

After listening to his mother-in-law talking about her experiences
in the Second World War, David Bolton set out to record the wartime
memories of British women before it was too late. Many of those he
interviewed were child evacuees, some were single mothers, two were
ambulance drivers and another was the girlfriend of an American GI
killed on D-Day. Other women remembered their experiences working
as a young doctor in a POW camp, in a munitions factory filling
shells or as a codebreaker at Bletchley Park. War Stories archives
the memories of over fifty women in their own words, supplemented
by memoirs and diary entries. All tell their very personal war
stories with honesty, humour, an amazing memory for detail and a
boldness sometimes bordering on the confessional - perhaps because
this was their last chance to describe what it was really like to
be female in those extraordinary times.
