An affectionate, witty and thoroughly entertaining homage to
Trollope's Barchester Chronicles, set in the contemporary fictional
diocese of Lindchester. The Bishop of Lindchester is happily
married with four daughters. But does he have a secret? Archdeacon
Matt is inclined to think not. That said, it's obvious to him that
Bishop Paul's got a pretty big bee in his mitre about the brilliant
but troubled Freddie May ...Welcome to the fictional Diocese of
Lindchester, where you will be taken (dear reader) on a yearlong
romp in the company of bishops, priests and lay people. Prepare
yourself for a bumpy and hilarious ride from the rarefied heights
of the Cathedral Close down to the coalface of ordinary urban and
rural parishes. Acts and Omissions reveals the Church of England in
all its mess and glory. It is a world shot through with grace, but
one where even the best intentioned err and stray. And occasionally
do those things which they ought not to have done ...
2020 and sadly the Tales from Lindford came to an end, but the
pandemic did not, and neither did the lives of our valiant
Lindchester community. Return to Lindchester once more with The
Company of Heaven, the fifth in the beloved series of novels from
Catherine Fox. Valiantly written in real time in the midst of the
pandemic, this entertaining book captures the difficulties of 2021
with heart, humour and insight. Perfect for Lindchester fans, it's
also the ideal novel for anyone seeking comfort and a way of
understanding all that has happened. In The Company of Heaven, we
re-join our Lindchester friends on Easter Monday 2021, just as the
third lockdown in our Covid winter of discontent draws to a close.
The new paschal candles have been lit. The endless snowy
ghastliness of January, February, and March are behind us now.
Shake out your wings and fly once more across the Diocese of
Lindfordshire, as we launch out on Pandemic, Part II. We will catch
up with old friends and make new ones. Skeletons will tumble from
cupboards, and not everyone will behave themselves as well as they
ought (this is Lindchester after all). A twenty-first century
Barchester that fans of Barbara Pym and the BBC's Rev will love,
this new volume in the Lindchester Chronicles is contemporary
Christian fiction at its finest. Sharp-eyed, witty and
compassionate, Catherine Fox once again helps us make sense of
real-life events and challenges, while weaving through a series of
heart-stopping storylines. The Company of Heaven will make you
laugh, cry and leave you with hope that grace can be found even in
the darkest times.
'Lyrical, compelling and full of insight. I found this very hard to
put down.' KATIE FFORDE, THE SUNDAY TIMES NO. 1 BESTSELLING AUTHOR
'Catherine Fox writes with immense compassion, unsentimental faith
and an impressively undisciplined humour.' ROWAN WILLIAMS, FORMER
ARCHBISHOP OF CANTERBURY January 2020. Freddie, Father Dominic,
Jane and all the other residents of Lindfordshire are celebrating
the New Year with parties and resolutions. None of them is aware of
the trials and tribulations the coming months will bring - not
least the horseman of the apocalypse who has set out quietly, with
barely a jingle of harness, in a distance province of China . . .

The first in the Lindchester trilogy, Acts and Omissions, was
chosen as a Guardian Best Book of 2014
Who will be the next bishop of Lindchester? That's what everyone's
been asking since bishop Paul Henderson resigned in haste and a
whiff of scandal. Unseen Things Above rejoins our friends in the
diocese as they address themselves to the labyrinthine process of
appointing his replacement. When they aren't arguing about love and
marriage, that is. Should Jane renounce her feminist orthodoxy and
wed the manly archdeacon? Could Father Ed defy the House of Bishops
and marry Neil? And how many hearts will start atrembling when the
gorgeous but volatile Freddie May returns to the Cathedral Close?
Come, dear reader, and clamber once again onto the liturgical
rollercoaster. Travel from Easter to Advent with bishops,
archbishops, and all the company of Lindchester. Hang on to your
hat as you're whirled through ups and downs and twists of plot.
There are unseen things above, all right. But if you manage to open
your eyes, the view from the top is glorious.

Annie Brown, wrestling with doubts about her faith and a biological
clock the size of Big Ben, escapes the stifling kindness of her
fellow ordinands and the stifled yelps of her sexuality by writing
a raunchy novel. Yet Annie can no more control her characters than
she could a congregation. Outrageous Isabella and
butter-wouldn't-melt Barney hurtle unbidden into difficult
situations that lead Annie inexorably back to her own repressed
upbringing and present predicament. Some of their liberation rubs
off on her too, and when she meets brusque outsider Will, Annie
plunges into passion as uninhibitedly as Isabella. But Annie's
vocation, like her libido, won't lie down, and she despairs of
finding a happy ending to either of her stories . . .
Women are rallying together in a massive and unstoppable force to
make their voices heard around the world in ways we have never seen
before. When Dr Kirstin Ferguson, an Australian company director,
decided she was fed up with the vicious online abuse of women she
turned the tables and used social media to create the
#CelebratingWomen campaign, profiling two women from all walks of
life and from anywhere in the world, every day for a year. The
response was overwhelming. In Women Kind, Ferguson joins Walkley
award-winning journalist and leading commentator on women in the
workplace Catherine Fox to examine how women's shared clout is
transforming communities, workplaces and leadership; show that
every woman is a role model; and challenge the idea that women
regularly turn on each other for scarce seats at the top table.
Ferguson and Fox urge us to get on board and forget the old saying
that when a woman climbs the corporate ladder, she needs to send it
back down to help one other woman. What's needed is a fishing net
to bring up many women together, all supporting each other. There
has never been a better moment to join our voices, share
experiences and celebrate the power of women supporting women.

17 year-old Anabara Nolio is descended from a long line of
warriors. From the Gull People on her father's side has the ability
to fly, and from her highborn Galen mother she has access to the
world of the privileged elite. She is a also a Private
Investigator. When tasked with discovering the truth about the
University library's lost books she thinks it's a simple case. But
the city isle of Laridy is riddled with dark secrets and ancient
magic - a legacy from historic dealings with the realm of the fairy
- a world where stained-glass angels can leave their windows to
fight, where rooftops and underground passages are guarded by armed
statues.
Wage inequality between men and women seems one of the intractables
of our age. Women are told they need to back themselves more, stop
marginalising themselves, negotiate better, speak up, support each
other, strike a balance between work and home. This searing book
argues that insisting that women fix themselves won't fix the
system, the system built by men.Catherine Fox does more than
identify and analyse the nature of the problem. Her book is an
important tool for male leaders who say they want to make a
difference. She throws down the gauntlet, showing how business,
defence, public service and community leaders might do it, rather
than just talk about it. She shows that not only will this be
better for women but for productivity as well, not to mention men
and women's health and happiness at home and at work.
When it comes to the work/life balance, modern women continually
find themselves in a no-win situation where they are criticized
regardless of the path they choose." The F Word: How We Learned to
Swear By Feminism" argues that the pervasive idea that women will
never be able to effectively combine work or interests outside the
home with marriage, a social life and parenting is a furphy. In
their lively and topical new book, Caro and Fox combine both
personal experience and the stories of a range of women with the
big picture, and provide practical suggestions for forgiving
ourselves, having fun and not giving up while holding it all
together.
Being a woman, raising children, succeeding in a leadership role
and living a full life remains a tall order in modern Australia if
you don't happen to be extraordinary. Being a woman on a board,
running an ASX top -listed company, or running a government
department remains an exception rather than the norm. Despite the
progress made towards a fairer workplace, in the discussion about
the lack of women on boards or the size of the gap between men and
women's pay, tired excuses are recycled. Catherine Fox labels these
the seven myths about women and work.
