Every love story has a beginning. But the ending is yet to be
written... 'Elijah is gripped by a vertiginous feeling, a short
shock of realisation of how much he wants this to be the start of
something, just as he reaches a precipice that reveals it might be
the end...' The Start of Something follows the lives of ten
interlocking characters, as their lives collide unexpectedly and
often romantically - from thrilling first meetings and touching
moments, to long-held loves or abuses of power - that explore what
true intimacy and love might look like in today's world. A
razor-sharp, intoxicating and thought-provoking novel that will
appeal to fans of Expectation by Anna Hope, Normal People by Sally
Rooney, Insatiable by Daisy Buchanan and Amazon Prime's Modern
Love. Praise for Holly Williams: 'It's the new One Day' FABULOUS
'Delightful, insightful and immersive' KATE EBERLEN 'Invigorating
[and] fascinating' GUARDIAN 'Holly's beautiful prose smoulders,
crackles and roars' DAISY BUCHANAN 'An unforgettable story with
writing that sparkles: a gem of a read' HOLLY MILLER 'A stunning,
skilful, deftly drawn, cockle-warmer of a novel. Prose so good I
couldn't stop underlining' LAUREN BRAVO 'A wonderful, original and
powerful debut' ELAINE FEENEY 'Heartwarming' BELLA

Three decades. Two people. One moment is all it takes...
1947. 1967. 1987. When Violet and Albert first meet, they are always twenty. Over the years, Violet and Albert's lives collide again and again: beneath Oxford's spires, on the rolling hills around Abergavenny, in stately homes and in feminist squats. And as each decade ends, a new love story begins...
Together, they are electric and the world is glittering with possibility. But against the shifting times of each era, Violet and Albert must overcome differences in class, gender, privilege and ambition. Each time their lives entwine, it will change everything.
As their eyes first meet, for a split-second it's as if the clocks have stopped. Nothing else matters. Yet whichever decade brings them together, Violet and Albert are soon forced to question: what if they met the right person at the wrong time?

Have you ever been coached? In a group or in a team? If you could
observe a group coaching session, would you get the full picture?
Being Coached is not a how-to manual, nor is it narrowly focused on
the role of the coach. In fact, the coach's touch is light.
Breakthroughs occur when leaders are in the middle of leading,
engaging in peer coaching, or even in quiet reflection. Written
from the multiple viewpoints of eight leaders in a group coaching
program and six executives on a leadership team, Being Coached
illustrates how creating a learning community promotes growth by
making space for vulnerability and risk-taking. Simply put, it
answers the question, "What is being coached like?"
