Every woman will experience the panic years in some way between her mid-twenties and early-forties.
This maddening period of transformation and personal crisis is recognisable by the myriad of decisions we make - about partners, holidays, jobs, homes, savings, friendships - all of which are impacted by the urgency of the single decision that comes with a biological deadline, the one decision that is impossible to take back; whether or not to have a baby.
But how to stay sane in such a maddening time? How to know who you are and what you might want from life? How to know if you're making the right decisions?
Raw, hilarious and beguilingly honest, Nell Frizzell's account of her panic years is both an arm around the shoulder and a campaign to start a conversation. This affects us all - women, men, mothers, children, partners, friends, colleagues - so it's time we started talking about it with a little more candour.

'Estés points to storytelling, our ancient narratives, as a way for women to reconnect to the Wild Woman all women have within themselves, but have lost' Emma Watson
Go out in the woods, go out. If you don't go out in the woods nothing will ever happen and your life will never begin.
Within every woman, there lies a powerful force of energy, creativity and self-knowing: their wild woman. For centuries, she has been repressed by a male-orientated value system that trivialises her emotions. Until now.
With a combination of time-honoured stories, myths, fairy tales and casework, this is the feminist classic loved by over 2 million women, that will set you on a beautiful path to unleash your inner wild.

Motherless and irrepressibly curious, Esme spends her childhood at her father's feet as he and his team gather words for the very first Oxford English Dictionary.
One day, she sees a slip of paper containing a forgotten word flutter to the floor unclaimed.
And so Esme begins to collect words for another dictionary in secret: The Dictionary of Lost Words. But to do so she must journey into a world on the cusp of change as the Great War looms and women fight for the vote. Can the power of lost words from the past finally help her make sense of her future?
For three women living through World War II, the threat of war poses very separate issues - that is, until their lives become intertwined in the most tragic of circumstances.

As the war advances, Polish teenager Kasia Kuzmerick is drawn deeper into the underground resistance movement. In a tense atmosphere of watchful eyes and suspecting neighbours, one false move can have dire consequences.
Then the unthinkable happens: Kasia is sent to Ravensbrück, the notorious Nazi concentration camp for women where Herta now works, and her life is transformed into a desperate attempt to survive.
As the women's stories coincide and span decades and continents - from New York to Paris, Germany, and Poland - the devastation of Ravensbrück is ever-present, as Kasia and Caroline strive to bring justice to those history has forgotten . .
Twins Anna and Adam live in an abandoned commune in a volatile landscape where they prepare for the world-ending event they believe is imminent. Adam keeps watch by day, Anna by night. They meet at dawn and dusk.
Their only companion is Koan, the commune's former leader, who still exerts a malignant control over their daily rituals. But when one of the previous inhabitants returns, everything Anna and Adam thought they knew to be true is thrown into question.
Dazzling, unsettling and incredibly moving, Redder Days is a stunning exploration of the consequences of corrupted power, the emotional impact of abandonment, and the endurance of humanity in the most desperate of situations, from the author of Follow Me to Ground.
EDITED BY HANS WALTER GABLER WITH INTRODUCTIONS BY SCARLETT BARON AND JOHN BANVILLE
In this powerfully influential series of short stories, James Joyce captures uneasy souls, shabby lives and innocent minds in the dark streets and homes of his native city. In doing so, he conjures uncertainties and desires, illumines moments of joy and sorrow otherwise lost in private memory, and pierces the many mysteries at the heart of things.
Against the backdrop of nineteenth century Dublin, a boy becomes a man: his mind testing its powers, obsessions taking hold and loosening again, the bonds of family, tradition, nation and religion transforming from supports into shackles; until the young man devotes himself to the celebration of beauty, and reaches for independence and the life of an artist.
She's twenty-three and in love with love. He's older, and the most beautiful man she's ever seen. The affair is quickly consuming.
But this relationship is unpredictable, and behind his perfect looks is a mean streak. She's intent on winning him over, but neither is living up to the other's ideals. He keeps emailing his thin, glamorous ex, and she's starting to give in to secret, shameful cravings of her own. The search for a fix is frantic, and taking a dangerous turn...
'This has bestseller written all over it. Fast-paced, funny, shocking, unputdownable. I loved it' PAULA HAWKINS, author of The Girl on the Train

______________
Ronke, Simi and Boo are inseparable mixed-race friends living in London. They have the gift of two cultures, Nigerian and English, though not all of them choose to see it that way.
Everyday racism has never held them back, but now in their thirties, they question their future. Ronke wants a husband (he must be Nigerian); Boo enjoys (correction: endures) stay-at-home motherhood; while Simi, full of fashion career dreams, rolls her eyes as her boss refers to her urban vibe yet again.
When Isobel, a lethally glamorous friend from their past arrives in town, she is determined to fix their futures for them. Cracks in their friendship begin to appear, and it is soon obvious Isobel is not sorting but wrecking. When she is driven to a terrible act, the women are forced to reckon with a crime in their past that may just have repeated itself.
A darkly comic and bitingly subversive take on love, race and family, Wahala will have you laughing, crying and gasping in horror. Boldly political about class, colorism and clothes, here is a truly inclusive tale that will speak to anyone who has ever cherished friendship, in all its forms.
Artystyczny sukces Kąckiej polega głównie na tym, że „narracyjne kompresory” (nie ma takiego terminu? już jest!) nie niweczą dynamiki prozy. Zapisywana w Strefie zgniotu Polska bywa zarówno zdezorientowana, zdziecinniała, grafomańska, napastliwa, jak i utalentowana, empatyczna, niebanalna. Jednego nie mógłbym powiedzieć: by była krainą marazmu.
W Polsce Kąckiej marazm się po prostu nie udaje.
Edward Balcerzan
Bohumil Hrabal powiedział kiedyś, że przeciwstawia humanizmowi hominizm w swoim pisaniu. Żadnych wielkich słów, tylko pojedynczy człowiek w swoim pięknie i brzydocie. W szczęściu, rozpaczy i w kapciach. I takie są te kawałki Kąckiej. Hoministyczne. Wyłapują z życia to, co w człowieku najbardziej indywidualne i najciekawsze – czyli jego język. Językiem próbujemy przedrzeć się przez świat. Czasem nieporadnie, czasem pięknie, czasem żałosno-śmiesznie. Trzeba mieć ucho i pióro, by to przenicować w tekst. Kącka ma.
Paweł Sołtys
Kącka pisze z podsłuchu. Łapie za słowo. I wywraca na pustosłowie. Ta książka odsłania sens bzdury, fiksacji, chronicznej paplaniny. Nic tak nie łączy ludzi jak codzienny bełkot.

Będziesz tu, na ziemi, żyła krótko – czy w imię mistycznych znaków należy poświęcić własne życie, aby ratować cudze?
Zagłębiając się w beatyfikacyjne dochodzenie, ksiądz Jan Radlicz zaczyna niebezpiecznie zbliżać się do obłędu. Kto decyduje o świętości? Znaki od Boga czy kościelny edykt? Klucz do rozwiązania tajemnicy jest w rękach fanatycznej ateistki. Kobieta ukrywa nie tylko własne pochodzenie, ale i prawdę o tożsamości księdza postulatora…
Książka wydana w serii Wielkie Litery – w specjalnym formacie z dużą czcionką dla seniorów i osób słabowidzących.
Fascynujące kulisy toczącego się wciąż procesu beatyfikacyjnego. Oddana z niemal reporterską dokładnością jedna z największych katastrof w powojennej historii Polski. Przejmująca opowieść o zagładzie żydowskiej Łodzi i dramatycznych rodzinnych tajemnicach. Intrygująca, niejednoznaczna, wyjątkowo oryginalna książka na pograniczu gatunków.
Historia, w której śmierć, świętość i bluźnierstwo stają się jednością.
