Classic drama in which three soulful sisters rise out of Harlem to
become music's hottest singing group. Against the vibrant grooves
of Curtis Mayfield, these divas explode onto the scene with
off-the-hook harmonies and a sexy style that catapults them to
superstardom. But not every fairytale has a happy ending and when
success leads to excess, one sister's star will fade, while
another's will sparkle.
The Sunday Times Bestseller 'A full-spectrum triumph' Guardian A
sensational new novel from the bestselling author of Less Than Zero
and American Psycho that tracks a group of privileged Los Angeles
high school friends as a serial killer strikes across the city. His
first novel in 13 years, The Shards is Bret Easton Ellis at his
inimitable best. LA, 1981. Buckley College in heat. 17-year-old
Bret is a senior at the exclusive Buckley prep school when a new
student arrives with a mysterious past. Robert Mallory is bright,
handsome, charismatic, and shielding a secret from Bret and his
friends, even as he becomes a part of their tightly knit circle.
Bret’s obsession with Mallory is equalled only by his
increasingly unsettling preoccupation with The Trawler, a serial
killer on the loose who seems to be drawing ever closer to Bret and
his friends, taunting them with grotesque threats and horrific,
sharply local acts of violence. Can he trust his friends – or his
own mind – to make sense of the danger they appear to be in?
Thwarted by the world and by his own innate desires, buffeted by
unhealthy fixations, Bret spirals into paranoia and isolation as
the relationship between The Trawler and Robert Mallory hurtles
inexorably toward a collision. Gripping, sly, suspenseful, deeply
haunting and often darkly funny, The Shards is a mesmerizing fusing
of fact and fiction that brilliantly explores the emotional fabric
of Bret’s life at 17 – sex and jealousy, obsession and
murderous rage.

No man is an island, wrote John Donne. BBC Home Editor Mark Easton
argues the opposite: that we are all islands, and it is upon the
contradictory shoreline where isolation meets connectedness, where
'us' meets 'them', that we find out who we truly are. Suggesting
that a continental bias has blinded us, Easton chronicles a sweep
of 250 million years of island history: from Pangaea (the
supercontinent mother of all islands) to the first intrepid
islanders pointing their canoes over the horizon, from exploration
to occupation, exploitation to liberation, a hopeful journey to
paradise and a chastening reminder of our planet's fragility. But
that is only half of this mesmerising book: aided by the muse he
names Pangaea, Easton also interweaves reflections on what he calls
'the psychological islands that form the great archipelago of
humankind'. Taking readers on an enchanting adventure, he
illustrates how understanding islands and island syndrome might
help humanity get closer to the truth about itself. Brave,
intelligent and haunting, Islands is a deep dive into geography,
myth, literature, politics and philosophy that reveals nothing less
than a map of the human heart.

Forcing flowers to stand up and do tricks is the old way of flower
bouquets. That called for flying in blossoms from around the world.
The new way is so much more DIY and all about what's happening in
the garden right now--no matter the season. "Petal & Twig" is
full of photographs and descriptions of wonderfully fresh
combinations from garden-expert Valerie Easton's own garden. With
an inviting and personal tone, Easton shows how to assemble floral
combinations for color, for fragrance, to express the essence of
the season, for the dinner table, for the kitchen, for the
bookshelf. Inspiration, experimentation, and simple pleasure are
the keys to the new bouquets.

THE CONTROVERSIAL SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER. Candid, fearless and
provocative - the author of American Psycho on who he is and what
he thinks is wrong with the world today. Bret Easton Ellis is most
famous for his era-defining novel American Psycho and its
terrifying anti-hero, Patrick Bateman. With that book, and many
times since, Ellis proved himself to be one of the world's most
fearless and clear-sighted observers of society - the glittering
surface and the darkness beneath. In White, his first work of
non-fiction, Ellis offers a wide-ranging exploration of what the
hell is going on right now. He tells personal stories from his own
life. He writes with razor-sharp precision about the music, movies,
books and TV he loves and hates. He examines the ways our culture,
politics and relationships have changed over the last four decades.
He talks about social media, Hollywood celebrities and Donald
Trump. Ellis considers conflicting positions without flinching and
adheres to no status quo. His forthright views are powered by a
fervent belief in artistic freedom and freedom of speech. Candid,
funny, entertaining and blisteringly honest, he offers opinions
that are impossible to ignore and certain to provoke. What he
values above all is the truth. 'The culture at large seemed to
encourage discourse,' he writes, 'but what it really wanted to do
was shut down the individual.' Bret Easton Ellis will not be shut
down.
