The North Road: ‘A haunting exploration of time, place and memory along the road to London-Edinburgh highway. Radical. Beautiful. Brilliant.’ Robert Macfarlane
‘A dazzlingly inventive work of literature’ Robert Macfarlane, author of The Old Ways
‘A wonderful, epic braiding of history, geography and personal memoir’ James Rebanks, author of English Pastoral
‘Stunning…weaving an intricate tapestry of tarmac, humanity and time, as rich as the dark earth on which his many threads lie. It will stay with me.’ Raynor Winn, author of The Salt Path
_____________________________________________________________________At the heart of this book is a highway. The A1; The Great North Road. A 400-mile multiplicity of ancient trackway, Roman road, pilgrim path, coach route and motorway that has run like a backbone through Britain for the last 2,000 years.
In this genre-defying and profoundly personal book, Cowen follows this ghost road from beginning to end on a journey through history, place, people and time. Weaving his own histories and memories with the layered landscapes he moves through, this is the story of an age, of coming to terms with time past and time passing, and the roads that lead us to where we find ourselves.
Written in kaleidoscopic prose, The North Road is an unforgettable exploration of Britain’s great highway.

Beaufighter: The Untold Story of a Wartime Icon (Great Planes of World War Two Book 1)
A fascinating and detailed history of one of the great aircraft of World War II: the Beaufighter.Ideal for fans of Alexander McKee, John Nichol, and Martin W. Bowman.
Developed to meet the RAF’s urgent need for a long-range fighter just before World War II, the Beaufighter was the most heavily armed aircraft of any type used in active service from 1940 until the late 1950s.
Drawing on numerous original sources and meticulous research, Chaz Bowyer traces the Beau’s origins from planning, design, and factory floor through test flights, adaptations to meet service needs, and its remarkable and widespread use throughout the war. Bowyer includes many first-hand accounts from those who flew the plane in action and from ground crew who maintained it, giving readers a sense of the genuine affection felt for this formidable fighting machine.
Ultimately, around 6,000 Beaufighters rolled off the production line, from where they were sent across the globe to serve in at least 77 squadrons of the RAF and Commonwealth air forces until they were finally retired from service in the 1960s. Bowyer recounts the aircraft’s many roles during the war—as a night and day fighter, reconnaissance vehicle, anti-shipping strike and torpedo bomber, ground strafer, and air-jungle rescue searcher, among many other uses. Through personal accounts and reminiscences, readers are brought vividly into the experience of piloting and supporting the Beau’s operations across vastly different theatres of war and environments, including Australia, Indonesia, Japan, Burma, the Mediterranean, UK coastal waters, North Africa, and the Middle East.
Though merely a machine, there are many who owed their lives to the strength and capability of the ‘Mighty Beau.’ Their stories serve as a reminder of the incredible sacrifice, bravery, heroism, and devotion to duty of those service men and women, and why this plane should be proudly remembered as one of the all-time classic British fighters.

Proto: A New History of Our Ancient Past, From the Author of the International Bestseller Pale Rider
‘The fascinating story of ancient words … new revelations await’ The Guardian
‘A magisterial feat’ New Statesman
________________________________
One ancient language transformed our world. This is its story.
Star. Stjarna. Stare. Thousands of miles apart, people look up at the night sky and use the same word to describe what they see.
Listen to these English, Icelandic and Iranic words and you can hear echoes of one of the most extraordinary journeys in humanity’s past. All three of these languages – and hundreds more – share a single ancient ancestor.
Five millennia ago, in a mysterious Big Bang of its own, this proto tongue exploded, forming new worlds as it spread east and west. Today, nearly half of humanity speaks an Indo-European language. How did this happen?
In Proto, acclaimed journalist Laura Spinney sets off to find out. With her we travel the length of the steppe, navigating the Caucasus, the Silk Roads and the Hindu Kush. We follow in the footsteps of nomads and monks, Amazon warriors and lion kings – the ancient peoples who spread these tongues far and wide. In the present, Spinney meets the linguists, archaeologists and geneticists racing to recover this lost world. What they have discovered has vital lessons for our modern age, as people and their languages are on the move again.
Proto is a revelatory portrait of world history in its own words.

God is an Englishman: Christianity and the Creation of England
‘Allows us to understand the profound, and often profoundly beneficial, impact of Christianity’ Anthony Seldon
‘Superb … Lively and erudite’ The Telegraph
‘Tremendous … The arguments are truly profound’ The Spectator
Christianity in England is in decline. Congregations are dwindling and ever fewer young people believe. Should we merely shrug our shoulders and accept this as inevitable and even healthy, or is something important being lost?
Bijan Omrani argues that this decline is the most momentous change to occur in English history. He shows how a religion that has been part of our national story for over 1700 years was instrumental in the creation and development of the English nation, its codes of law and morality, and its structures of government and kingship. He demonstrates its profound cultural impact, in areas ranging from architecture and literature to our very landscape and the structure of our everyday life and language. Its influence, he contends, has been enormous, largely benign, and shouldn’t be lightly abandoned.
Ending with a rousing call to retain Christianity, rightly understood, as a way of dealing with both the eternal questions of the human condition, as well as the malaises of modernity, this is an erudite and tender tribute to our Christian history and heritage.

Meditations for Mortals: The instant Sunday Times bestseller that will change your life
Stop trying to sort your life out. Start living.
‘Full of wisdom and comfort’ CHRIS VAN TULLEKEN
‘A practical path toward personal transformation… A must-read’ CAL NEWPORT
Our lives can feel defined by the struggle with overwhelm, endless decisions and striving to be productive. Wouldn’t it be good to stop doing all that? What if we could find freedom – and get more of the important things done – by embracing our limitations, and by letting things happen instead of forcing them?
Meditations for Mortals begins with the reality in which we actually find ourselves, not with fantasies of an ideal existence. Reflecting on ideas from philosophy, religion, psychology and self-help, it offers us a powerful and practical new way to do what counts: a guiding outlook Oliver Burkeman calls ‘imperfectionism’.
This book is a profound and liberating crash course in living more fully. It overturns much familiar advice and opens a gateway to a saner, freer and more enchantment-filled life.

The story of the Sunderland flying boat began with the innovative Short brothers, Horace, Albert, and Hugh, who, since 1908, were at the forefront of British aeroplane design and manufacturing. Having trained the first Royal Navy officers as pilots in their flying machines and successfully deployed seaplanes during World War One, they were well-positioned in 1933 to meet the RAF’s need for a long-range, four-engine flying boat with armaments, sleeping accommodations, and catering facilities. The result was the Short Sunderland, entering RAF service and history books in 1938.
In this book, Chaz Bowyer traces the evolution of this remarkable aircraft and the valuable contribution it made to the Allied campaign worldwide throughout the Second World War. Bowyer’s research is thorough and exhaustive, drawing on sources that include original documentation, reports, and many first-hand accounts from those who flew or worked on the Sunderland in the UK and abroad.
The Sunderland served the RAF for a total of 21 years, during which it is estimated to have been instrumental in destroying or damaging at least 60 German and Italian U-boats. Operating as part of Coastal Command, it played a vital role throughout the war: protecting shipping routes and convoys, reconnaissance, supplying aid and evacuations, air-sea rescues, and passenger transportation, to name but a few. Post-war, its usefulness endured, supporting the Berlin Airlift, with many aircraft converted for use in civil aviation. Reading this account, it is easy to see why the Sunderland inspired such awe and affection among those who lived and worked with it.

Broken Threads: My Family From Empire to Independence
A SUNDAY TIMES TOP 10 BESTSELLER
SHORTLISTED FOR THE WESTMINSTER BOOK AWARDS
A TABLET BOOK OF THE YEAR
‘One of the best memoirs I’ve read in years’ SATHNAM SANGHERA
‘Beautifully written, emotional and deeply personal, yet universal … One can’t help but be moved by this story of upheaval and transformation’ SADIQ KHAN
An extraordinary family memoir from acclaimed newsreader and journalist, Mishal Husain, uncovering the story of her grandparents’ lives amidst empire, political upheaval and partition.
‘I witnessed the dwindling glow of the British Empire. I saw small men entrusted with great jobs, playing with the destiny of millions’
The lives of Mishal Husain’s grandparents changed forever in 1947, as the new nation states of India and Pakistan were born. For years she had a partial story, a patchwork of memories and anecdotes: hurried departures, lucky escapes from violence and homes never seen again.
Decades later, the fragment of an old sari sent Mishal on a journey through time, using letters, diaries, memoirs and audio tapes to trace four lives shaped by the Raj, a world war, independence and partition.
Mumtaz rejects the marriage arranged for him as he forges a life with Mary, a devout Catholic from an Anglo-Indian family, while Tahirah and Shahid watch the politics of pre-partition Delhi unfold at close quarters. As freedom comes, bonds fray and communities are divided, leaving two couples to forge new identities, while never forgetting the shared heritage of the past.
‘Husain has written an arresting family memoir … her explanation of partition is more level-headed than that of many professional historians’ THE TIMES
‘A spectacular achievement. It is an incisive and carefully researched historical account, and as moving and true a personal narrative’ GUARDIAN
'[Husain] has managed to make such a complex story so accessible’ OBSERVER
‘I was so moved by this stirring and deeply moving account that is at once a love story as well as a chronicle of one of the most cataclysmic events in South Asia’ BARKHA DUTT
‘Like silks in the precious fragment of the heirloom sari of its title, Broken Threads is woven from rich sources. It is a beautiful book, informed and informative, cool and factual, poetic and elegiac’ FINANCIAL TIMES
‘A deeply engrossing book … I was completely gripped by it’ INDIA KNIGHT
Mishal Husain’s book ‘Broken Threads’ was a Sunday Times bestseller w/c 2024-06-10.

It’s harder than ever to get a GP appointment. Burglaries go unpunished. Rivers are overrun with sewage. Real wages have been stagnant for years, even as the cost of housing rises inexorably. Why is everything going wrong at the same time?

The Age of Diagnosis: Sickness, Health and Why Medicine Has Gone Too Far
‘Covers so many topics that have been troubling me but I haven’t been able to resolve myself – as a parent and a clinician. An absolutely absorbing read from start to finish.’ – CHRIS VAN TULLEKEN
‘A brilliant study of the dangers of overdiagnosis’ – GUARDIAN, book of the day
‘Compassionate and bracingly independent thinking’ – THE TIMES, best books of 2025
From autism to allergies, ADHD to long Covid, more people are being labelled with medical conditions than ever before. But can a diagnosis do us more harm than good?
The boundaries between sickness and health are being redrawn. Mental health categories are shifting and expanding all the time, radically altering what we consider to be ‘normal’. Genetic tests can now detect pathologies decades before people experience symptoms, and sometimes before they’re even born. And increased health screening draws more and more people into believing they are unwell.
An accurate diagnosis can bring greater understanding and of course improved treatment. But many diagnoses aren’t as definitive as we think. And in some cases they risk turning healthy people into patients. Drawing on the stories of real people, as well as decades of clinical practice and the latest medical research, Dr Suzanne O’Sullivan overturns long held assumptions and reframes how we think about illness and health.

Tina: The Inspiring Tale of a World-changing Friendship Between One Man and a Dog
Hope taught me the meaning of life, Tina taught me the meaning of love.
It’s not everyday you meet a golden retriever in Thailand.
When Niall came across a dog shackled to a short chain and in a poor state of health something reminded him of his personal battle with addiction. He knew he had to rescue her immediately – golden retrievers are rare in Thailand – but there was just something about this dog in particular that told him she was destined for more.
He named her Tina, and what she did next is an incredible tale of survival, hope and love. Despite her terrible treatment at the hands of humans, she refused to distrust them or feel sorry for herself, and only opened her heart wider – always with a grin (yes dogs can smile) and a reassuring wag of her shaggy yellow tail.
From the minute Tina was free of her chains, she got on with what needed to be done, inspiring a dog hospital to be built and named after her and helping dogs from all over the world – whether they’re street dogs from Thailand or rescue pups in Montana. The movement behind Tina has not stopped.
This is her story.

Floating Home: Lessons from a life less ordinary
When Adam Lind lost his father as a teenager, his grief became a powerful turning point: a catalyst for change. Driven by a deep desire to find meaning and purpose, Adam set out on a journey that would shape the course of his life: first hitchhiking from London to Iran, then returning to embrace an unconventional life aboard a narrowboat, roaming the British Waterways. These life-altering experiences gave him a new lens through which to view freedom, adversity, and what it truly means to live.
In this uplifting book, Adam shares the ten core principles that helped him find freedom and fulfillment, even in the face of adversity. From discovering the power of community, to transforming adversity into opportunity, to understanding why discipline is essential for a meaningful life, Floating Home offers a practical and inspiring guide to living intentionally.
But Adam’s story is just one part of this rich tapestry. Throughout the book, he introduces readers to a vibrant cast of characters from his boating community: the ‘Humans of the Waterways.’ Each shares their own story of why they chose boat life, revealing raw and relatable truths about modern life: the pressure of the housing market, the ache of unfulfilling careers or relationships, or the fear that it’s too late to change. These voices offer a chorus of wisdom, showing that the path to freedom is different for everyone, but the call is universal.
Floating Home is a celebration of life beyond the ordinary, reminding us that purpose isn’t found in the places we live, but in how we choose to live: with courage, connection and a deep sense of freedom.
