Two women. Two eggs. One life-changing switch.
Katherine finally has it all. She's spent her entire life striving for perfection―obsessing over her spotless home, maintaining her pristine reputation, building her perfect family―and her hard work has finally paid off. After seven difficult years of trying (and failing) to conceive, Katherine gives birth to Rose, her IVF miracle child, and at last has the one thing she's wanted most of all. But one thing isn't quite perfect. Rose's pale skin doesn't match Katherine's complexion, and an irritating doubt begins to grow in Katherine's mind.
Tess never got the happy ending she wanted. She underwent IVF at the same clinic as Katherine, but after finally conceiving, Tess's daughter was stillborn. Now, nearly one year later, she's approaching rock bottom. Consumed by her grief and without hope for the future, Tess is divorced, broke, and stuck in a dead-end job beneath her skillset.
But shortly before Rose's first birthday, Katherine and Tess get a call from the fertility clinic: Their eggs were switched.
As Katherine's carefully planned life begins to crumble around her, Tess finally sees the glimmer of hope she needed to get her life back on track. Motherhood has always been their dream, and neither woman is prepared to share that claim over Rose. It will take a tense custody battle to decide who deserves to be Rose's mother, but it will also push them to the brink.
With themes of racial identity, loss, and betrayal, Hold My Girl is an emotional novel that will leave you contemplating: What makes a mother?

‘It almost seemed that the murder, if it was a murder, must have
been committed by someone who could rise up unsupported in the
air…’ When Miles Hammond is invited to a meeting of the Murder
Club in London, he is met instead with just two other guests and is
treated to a strange tale of an impossible crime in France from
years before; the murder of a man on a tower with only one
staircase, under watch at the time at which the murder took place.
With theories of levitating vampires abounding, the story comes
home to Miles when he realises that the librarian he has just hired
for his home is none other than Fay Seton, a woman whose name still
echoes from the heart of this bizarre and unsolved murder of the
past. First published in 1946, in later years Carr considered this
novel one of his finest works. It shows the masterful author at the
height of his powers, boasting an ingenious plot delivered with an
astounding pace and striking characters including none other than
the great detective, Dr Gideon Fell.

(poopy) peril – plus a warm-hearted friendship message.
An exhilarating and deeply moving story of one man's attempt to sea
kayak the areas of the Shipping Forecast, perfect for fans of The
Salt Path and Attention All Shipping Foreword by Charlie Connelly,
author of Attention All Shipping The Shipping Forecast has been
described as the UK's national lullaby: a source of dependability
and calm in our often chaotic world, it has charmed millions of
listeners and aided generations of seafarers across the decades. No
stranger to weathering a storm after living with a rare
life-limiting condition and facing the death of his brother, avid
kayaker Toby Carr set out to explore the areas of the Forecast. On
a journey that took him to the harshest and most tranquil stretches
of our sea, Toby found the real people, places and stories behind
the familiar names and imagined environments of the well-loved BBC
broadcast. From the wildness and peace of the sea, looking back at
the land, Toby hoped to gain the strength and balance he knew
nature could provide and to discover what anchors us to each other.
Written by Toby's sister Katie from his extensive notes and
recordings after his untimely death, Moderate Becoming Good Later
is both an epic adventure - sometimes choppy, constantly moving -
and a personal voyage of discovery that includes old friends and
new, plenty of wildlife, and the ever-present sea.
