If you have read a few baby books or searched the Internet for
parenting tips you have most likely stumbled across the mythical
Unicorn Baby. This is the baby who feeds every four hours and sleeps
through the night, sits at six months, pees pure gold and poops
rainbows.
Whether this baby exists or not does not matter. What matters is this:
you did not get this baby. If you are looking to answer the question:
“Is my baby normal?” then you are in the right place.
The Unicorn Baby is an honest and hilarious account of parenting.
Roxanne uses her professional experience as an Occupational Therapist
to identify and debunk ten modern parenting myths that cause all kinds
of anxiety for new parents and often leads them down the wrong
parenting paths. For example:
- Myth: You need to get your baby into the perfect routine
Reality: There is no such thing as the perfect routine
- Myth: You should only feed your baby every four hours
Reality: You should practice responsive feeding, not scheduled feeding
- Myth: You must teach your baby to sleep through the night
Reality: There is no magic formula that will make your baby sleep
through the night, no matter what you do.
- Myth: Your baby grows and develops every day Reality: Your
baby will grow and develop in leaps and spurts
Each of these ten myths is explored and then debunked, helping parents
to understand biologically why their baby may not be behaving as they
were told they would. Acknowledging that every baby is unique, this
book helps new parents navigate the first year, explaining the latest
neuroscience in understandable, practical terms, before sharing some
fascinating stories of other real-life babies.
The first story collection from Kate Atkinson in twenty years, Normal Rules Don't Apply is a dazzling array of eleven interconnected tales from the bestselling author of Shrines of Gaiety and Life After Life
In this first full collection since Not the End of the World, we meet a queen who makes a bargain she cannot keep; a secretary who watches over the life she has just left; a man whose luck changes when a horse speaks to him.
With clockwork intricacy, inventiveness and sharp social observation, Kate Atkinson conjures a feast for the imagination, a constantly changing multiverse in which nothing is quite as it seems.
Discover the new novel from the Sunday Times bestselling author of
Shrines of Gaiety and Life after Life.
Welcome to Rook Hall.
The stage is set. The players are ready. By night’s end, a murderer
will be revealed.
Ex-detective Jackson Brodie is staving off a bad case of midlife
malaise when he is called to a sleepy Yorkshire town, and the seemingly
tedious matter of a stolen painting. But one theft leads to another,
including the disappearance of a valuable Turner from Burton Makepeace,
home to Lady Milton and her family. Once a magnificent country house,
Burton Makepeace has now partially been converted into a hotel, hosting
Murder Mystery weekends.
As paying guests, a vicar, an ex-army officer, impecunious aristocrats,
and old friends converge, we are treated a fiendishly clever mystery;
one that pays homage to the masters of the genre—from Agatha Christie
to Dorothy Sayers.
Brilliantly inventive, with all of Atkinson’s signature wit, wordplay
and narrative brio, Death at the Sign of the Rook may be Jackson
Brodie’s most outrageous and memorable case yet.

1926, and in a country still recovering from the Great War, London has become the focus for a delirious new nightlife. In the clubs of Soho, peers of the realm rub shoulders with starlets, foreign dignitaries with gangsters, and girls sell dances for a shilling a time.
The notorious queen of this glittering world is Nellie Coker, ruthless but also ambitious to advance her six children, including the enigmatic eldest, Niven whose character has been forged in the crucible of the Somme. But success breeds enemies, and Nellie's empire faces threats from without and within. For beneath the dazzle of Soho's gaiety, there is a dark underbelly, a world in which it is all too easy to become lost.
With her unique Dickensian flair, Kate Atkinson brings together a glittering cast of characters in a truly mesmeric novel that captures the uncertainty and mutability of life; of a world in which nothing is quite as it seems.
In the Book of Job we meet a man who is afflicted physically and
emotionally. We encounter friends who do their best, but make
things worse. We are brought face to face with intellectual
puzzles. Through all this, and because of it, we find Job
struggling with his faith in God. In this compelling study, David
Atkinson guides through The Message of Job to show that Job's story
has the power to reach into our human situation, and to engage with
our human needs. Although facing suffering, both personally and on
a wider scale, can be challenging, in the Book of Job we can find
comfort and reassurance that God is with us through it all. A
revised edition in the much loved Bible Speaks Today series of
commentaries, The Message of Job offers an encouraging and
thoughtful pastoral exploration of Job's struggles. It will be of
particular help for those involved in ministry and counselling who
are supporting others in their suffering. Used by Bible students
and teachers around the world, the Bible Speaks Today commentaries
are ideal for students and preachers who want to better get to
grips with Scripture and deepen their understanding its original
context as well as its continued relevance in the twenty-first
century. This beautifully redesigned edition has been sensitively
updated to include modern references and use the NIV Bible text.
The Message of Job is perfect for anyone looking for stimulating,
readable commentaries on Job that will broaden their understanding
of how they can learn from it today.
