New arrivals
Leonard and Hungry Paul by Ronan Hession (paperback)
Leonard and Hungry Paul are two quiet friends who see the world differently. They use humour, board games and silence to steer their way through the maelstrom that is the 21st century.
It is the story of two friends trying to find their place in the world. It is about those uncelebrated people who have the ability to change the world, not by effort or force, but through their appreciation of all that is special and overlooked in life.
Saving Lucia by Anna Vaught (paperback)
How would it be if four lunatics went on a tremendous adventure, reshaping their pasts and futures as they went, including killing Mussolini?
What if one of those people were a fascinating, forgotten aristocratic assassin and the others a fellow life co-patient, James Joyce’s daughter Lucia, another the first psychoanalysis patient, known to history simply as ‘Anna O,’ and finally 19th Century Paris’s Queen of the Hysterics, Blanche Wittmann?
That would be extraordinary, wouldn’t it? How would it all be possible? Because, as the assassin Lady Violet Gibson would tell you, those who are confined have the very best imaginations.
The Moss House by Clara Barley (paperback)
Two hundred years ago, neighbouring Yorkshire landowners Miss Lister and Miss Walker find their lives become entwined in a passionate, forbidden relationship and retreat to the Moss House, their private sanctuary away from an unaccepting world. Their tranquillity does not last long as they are drawn into the turmoil of a changing society and a divided family, testing their love for each other, eventually driving them from their home.
The world was not yet ready for the likes of Miss Lister. Landowner, scholar, traveller, mountaineer and non-conformist, in The Moss House we discover her lifelong battle to be her true self as she finds Ann Walker and together they try to live life on their own terms.

Hey Cathy, I am interested to hear what you think of The Moss House by Clara Barley, as I loved the BBC’s Gentleman Jack series about Miss Lister. 😃

“The Moss House” sounds very similar to the television series “Gentleman Jack” starring Suranne Jones.

Yes, I believe it’s based on the same characters.
