All My Sins Remembered

A Novel

By: Rosie Thomas

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

From the acclaimed author of Sun at Midnight comes a saga of family, love, and betrayal set against the backdrop of two world wars. Cousins Clio Hirsh and Grace Stretton were born within hours of each other and raised as sisters in the innocent days before the Great War. But as they grow up, Grace is the one who enchants all those who meet her, leaving shy and quiet Clio to fade into the background. Even as time, ambition, and the winds of war take their lives in different directions—Grace into the arms of a dependable stockbroker and Clio into the literary world of Paris and Berlin—jealousy and bitterness simmer beneath their friendship. Decades later, Clio recounts the story of her family to her biographer. She tells of her brother Jake’s wartime experiences and medical career; Clio and Grace’s early years in bohemian London; younger brother Julius’s career as a concert violinist. But for herself, Clio remembers a different story―one of tragedy, heartbreak, and secrets. And above all, the surprising truth about her mesmerizing cousin Grace. “A master storyteller.” —Cosmopolitan

If My Father Loved Me

A Novel

By: Rosie Thomas

From a bestselling women’s fiction author, an “absorbing” novel about a divorced single mother struggling to forgive her estranged father before he dies. (The Daily Mail) “Master storyteller” (Cosmopolitan) Rosie Thomas returns with an affecting novel of the complexities of family and the sacrifices we make for the ones we love. Sadie's life is calm and complete. She is a mother, a good friend, and the robust survivor of a marriage she deliberately left behind. She has come to believe that she has everything she wants and deserves. But now her father is dying―the elusive man who spent his life creating exquisite perfumes for other women is slipping away from her, and Sadie must try to make her peace with him before it’s too late. As Sadie confronts the truth about her father, who often ignored her as he pursued his separate life, her relationship with her son Jack also appears to be breaking down. Intent on salvaging her relationships with both son and father, her seemingly perfect life unravels from both ends. Then the arrival of an ephemeral woman from her father's past sets off a chain reaction of events that even Sadie cannot control. “Thomas masterfully juggles a large cast of characters with sensitivity and a great deal of empathy.” —Booklist “Thomas’s novels are beautifully written.” —Marie Claire

Lovers and Newcomers

A Novel

By: Rosie Thomas

“One of the best storytellers around . . . turns her attention to the trials and tribulations of turning 60 . . . A sure-fire winner” (Daily Express). Rosie Thomas, beloved by readers for her brilliantly realized characters and twisting, page-turning plots, turns her “sharp nib” to a group of older friends in this evocative story of camaraderie and its challenges (The Washington Post Book World). Miranda Meadowe decides a lonely widowhood in her crumbling country house is not for her. Reviving a university dream, she invites five of her oldest friends to come live with her, and to stave off the prospect of old age. All have their own reasons for accepting. To begin with, the omens are good. They laugh, dance, drink, and behave badly as they cling to the legacy they thought was theirs forever: power, health, stability. They are the baby boomers; the world is theirs to change. But as old attractions resurface alongside new tensions, they discover the clock can’t be put back. When building work reveals an Iron Age burial site of a tribal queen, the outside world descends on their idyllic retreat, and the isolation of the group is breached. The past is revealed—and the future that beckons is very different from the one they imagined. “A truly heart-warming story of the value of friendship and the beauty of life. I can guarantee you will not be disappointed.” —The Bookbag “A wonderful story that explores relationships, history and change.” —She magazine “An evocatively told story of friendship, families and relationships, sharpened by the arrival of the outside world into their idyllic country retreat.” —Choice

Missal for Murder

By: Rosie Lear

Sherborne in 1436 was a quarrelsome town, the townspeople and the Abbot at loggerheads over the narrowing of the entrance to Allhallows, the chapel-of-ease attached to the Abbey, and the positioning of a font in the same chapel. Against this background, a young man is found murdered in the Lady Chapel of the Abbey, and subsequent strange deaths occur. Matthias Barton feels compelled to investigate and being unused to murder, stumbles along until suddenly things become clearer to him. Will he, together with the local coroner Sir Tobias, unravel the mystery before things become too heated?

The Politics of Viewing in Xenophon’s Historical Narratives

By: Rosie Harman

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

The Politics of Viewing in Xenophon’s Historical Narratives

By: Rosie Harman

This book considers cultural identity and power relations in early fourth-century BCE Greece through a reading of Xenophon's historical narratives, the Hellenica, Anabasis and Cyropaedia. These texts depict conflicts between Greek states, conflicts between Greeks and non-Greeks, and relations between the elite individual and society. In all three texts, politically significant moments are imagined in visual terms. We witness spectacles of Spartan military victory, vistas of Asian landscape or displays of Persian imperial pomp, and historical protagonists are presented as spectators viewing and responding to events. Through this visual form of narration, the reader is encouraged imaginatively to place themselves in the position of the historical protagonists. In viewing events from different perspectives, and therefore occupying multiple, often conflicting political positions, the reader not only experiences the problems faced by historical actors, but becomes engaged in the political conflicts acted out in the narratives. The reader is prompted to take pleasure in the sight of Panhellenic achievement, but also to witness the divisions and conflicts between Greeks on class and ethnic lines. Similarly the reader is invited to identify with spectacular Greek and non-Greek figures of power as emblems of Greek imperial potential, but also to see through the eyes of those communities subjugated at their hands. The depiction of spectacles and spectators draws the reader into an active participation in the ideological contradictions of their time, in a period when Panhellenic aspiration co-existed with hegemonic competition between Greek states, and when Greeks could be both beneficiaries and victims of imperialism.

The Abbott's Dilemma

The Fifth Sherborne Medieval Mystery

By: Rosie Lear

In the 1440s, Sherborne has become a place verging on civil disobedience echoing the unrest felt in other parts of the land under the young King Henry VI. Against this backdrop the Abbot of Sherborne has a serious problem which could undermine the very fabric of the Abbey. He turns reluctantly to the Coroner, Sir Tobias and the schoolmaster Matthias Barton of Milborne Port to solve this. Dislike of the Abbot grows, but who is the stranger seeking a child adopted by a local seamstress some years ago, and will Matthias be able to protect him from harm? Some of his scholars are anxious to become involved in the coming storm at court as the Yorkists and the Lancastrians begin to square up to one another. The Bishop of Salisbury does himself no favours with the local populace either, being more interested in his duties as confessor to King Henry. This, the penultimate book in the series, leads on to the troublesome years of the coming Wars of the Roses. Which side will they opt for in the gathering storm?

Great Siege of Newcastle 1644

By: Rosie Serdiville,John Sadler

In the autumn of 1644 was fought one of the most sustained and desperate sieges of the First Civil War when Scottish Covenanter forces under the Earl of Leven finally stormed Newcastle-upon-Tyne, the King's greatest bastion in the north-east and the key to his power there. The city had been resolutely defended throughout the year by the Marquis of Newcastle, who had defied both the Covenanters and northern Parliamentarians. Newcastle had held sway in the north-east since the outbreak of the war in 1642. He had defeated the Fairfaxes at Adwalton Moor and secured the City of Newcastle as the major coal exporter and port of entry for vital Royalist munitions and supply. Without this the north was lost. If anything, Newcastle was more important, in strategic terms, than York and it was the city's fall in October which marked the final demise of Royalist domination of the north. The book tells the story of the people who fought there, what motivated them and who led them there. It is also an account of what happened on the day, a minute-by-minute chronicle of Newcastle's bloodiest battle. The account draws heavily on contemporary source material, some of which has not received a full airing until now.

Seamus Heaney and Society

By: Rosie Lavan

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

Seamus Heaney and Society

By: Rosie Lavan

Throughout his career in poetry, Seamus Heaney maintained roles in education and was a visible presence in the print and broadcast media. Seamus Heaney and Society presents a dynamic new engagement with one of the most celebrated poets of the modern period, examining the ways in which his work as a poet was shaped by his work as a teacher, lecturer, critic, and public figure. Drawing on a range of archival material, this book revives the varied contexts within which Heaney's work was written, published, and circulated. Mindful of the different spheres which surrounded his pursuit of poetry, it assesses his achievements and status in Ireland, Britain, and the United States through close analysis of his work in newspapers, magazines, radio, and television, and manuscript drafts of key writings now held in the National Library of Ireland. Asserting the significance of the cultural, institutional, and historical worlds in which Heaney wrote and was read, Seamus Heaney and Society offers a timely reconstruction of the social lives of his work, while also exploring the ways in which he questioned and sustained the privacy and singularity of poetry. Ultimately, it considers how the enduring legacy of a great poet emerges from the working life of a contemporary writer.

God Is Your Defender

Learning to Stand After Life Has Knocked You Down

By: Rosie Rivera

Businesswoman, television personality, and survivor Rosie Rivera shares how to lean on God as defender in the midst of life’s hurts and wounds while also grappling with the strong desire for justice and retaliation. Revenge is one of our deepest instincts. When we have been hurt or when something has been stolen from us, whether that be our innocence or our good name or a loved one, the desire to retaliate is irresistible. But is it the right response of a follower of Jesus? As a survivor herself, Rosie Rivera has walked in this tension, a sojourner in the search for healing and wholeness in the light of horrific wrongs. She has wrestled the desire to defend herself, her reputation, and her family while also wanting to let God be her Defender. God Is Your Defender is about understanding the motives behind your thoughts and behaviors toward those who have wronged you. It is about the conditions you might have put on forgiveness. It is about fighting the urge to take over instead of trusting God. It is about learning how to truly rest in the Lord as the One who defends you and actively abiding in his peace. Backed by biblical examples and personal stories, Rosie guides you to a place of healing as you: Learn the difference between a vengeful spirit and a heart of advocacy Stop the self-destructive cycle of the desire for revenge Discern effectively when to take a righteous stand and when to stand back and let God defend you Experience how to move from an “eye for an eye” mentality to an “I for an I” by exchanging “I am hurt” for “I am healing” Let go of the pain of the past without ignoring what happened God Is Your Defender equips you to respond to hurtful situations, from the most minor to some of the most difficult, from a place of empowerment and peace.

Daughter of the House

A Novel

By: Rosie Thomas

A woman faces life-changing decisions in post–World War I London from the “master storyteller” and bestselling author of The Illusionists (Cosmopolitan). In Daughter of the House, Rosie Thomas returns to the marvelous Wix family. Nancy Wix, daughter of the stage impresarios Eliza and Devil, must find a way to keep London’s Palmyra theatre afloat, and to entertain audiences who have lost husbands and sons in the First World War. Nancy is a born performer, but she is set apart—even from her beloved brothers—by her psychic gifts. She must harness her troubling powers to keep her family and the theatre intact. It is a dangerous path and a lonely one, but Nancy’s bold choices lead her to love, and to the recognition of what it takes to become a modern woman. As another war begins to threaten the world, she is forced into a final, fateful confrontation with her demons, and must marshal both her ingenuity and her mysterious talents to fight for the survival of friendship, independence, and family. “Brilliantly bring[s] to life the end of the music hall era and the rise of spiritualism in the 1920s. I highly recommend this smart, gothic, and romantic page-turner.” —Historical Novel Society “[Thomas] creates a dynamic protagonist involved in an uncertain romance, and her other principal characters are equally well-rounded.” —Kirkus Reviews “A long, appealing yarn of a story, Daughter of the House is a sequel to the author’s earlier The Illusionists but is eminently readable as a stand-alone novel.” —Booklist

Constance

A Novel

By: Rosie Thomas

From the “intrepid, challenge-taking writer” of The Kashmir Shawl “comes this story of sisterly rifts and betrayal” (Good Housekeeping). “Introspective and descriptive writing carry along . . . Thomas’ examination of a woman searching for her place in the world. Music writer Constance Thorne is living a seemingly idyllic life in Bali. But paradise can’t completely insulate her from the world. She is called back to London to be with her dying sister, Jeanette, a journey that is challenging in many ways. Years before, Constance fell in love with her sister’s husband and ended up not only heartbroken but also estranged from the family. Because she was a foundling and raised by adoptive parents, the rejection hit her very hard. Her solution—to flee to Bali—has anchored her until now. Following Constance from lush Bali back to noisy London, the story line also meanders around Jeanette’s son, Noah, and his girlfriend, Roxana, who is from Uzbekistan and does her own soul-searching.” —Booklist “A terrific book, beautifully written . . . Questions about identity, belonging, infidelity, dying and forgiveness make this a very moving study of the human heart.” —Australian Women’s Weekly “Heart-rending and beautifully written . . . You can’t fail to be moved.” —Daily Express “Prepare to be dazzled . . . An epic tale of sisterhood and betrayal.” —Company “Thomas’ second novel maps out a resonating, touching story that most readers are unlikely to forget . . . An addictive, well-written masterpiece featuring lovely and original characters.” —Romantic Times

The Family

The shocking true story of a notorious cult

By: Chris Johnston,Rosie Jones

The apocalyptic group The Family and their guru, Anne Hamilton-Byrne — one of very few female cult leaders in history — captured international headlines throughout the 1980s and 1990s. Hamilton-Byrne, who some followers believed was Jesus Christ, was glamorous and charismatic — and, many allege, very dangerous. From her base in a quiet suburb, she recruited wealthy professionals to join her cult, including doctors, lawyers, nurses, architects, and scientists. She acquired children and raised them as her own, bleaching their hair blonde to make them look like siblings, and her group became surrounded by rumours of LSD use, child abuse, and strange spiritual rituals. In 1987, police swooped on The Family’s lakeside compound and rescued children who claimed they were part of Anne’s future master race. The children recounted terrible stories of near starvation, emotional manipulation, and physical abuse. But Anne could not be found, sparking an international police hunt. Could they bring Anne to justice? How did such a notorious group come to flourish? How did Anne maintain a hold over her followers? Drawing on revelatory new research, including police files, diary entries, and interviews with survivors, The Family tells the strange and shocking story of one of the most bizarre cults in modern history.

Iris and Ruby

A Novel

By: Rosie Thomas

The bestselling author “writes with ravishing sensuality” in this saga of a wartime love that reverberates through three generations of women (The Times, London). The unexpected arrival of her willful teenage granddaughter, Ruby, brings life and disorder to eight-two-year-old Iris Black’s old house in Cairo. Ruby, driven by her fraught relationship with her own mother to run away from England, is seeking refuge with the grandmother she hasn’t seen for years. An unlikely bond develops between them, as Ruby helps Iris record her fading memories of the glittering, cosmopolitan Cairo of World War II—and of her one true love whom she lost to the ravages of conflict. This long-ago love has shaped Iris’s life, and, as becomes increasingly apparent, those of her daughter and her granddaughter. And it is to affect them all, again, in ways they could not have imagined. “[Thomas’s] evocation of the wartime Cairo has all the raffish, glittering brittleness of life on the edge . . . Touches on the varieties and nuances of love between men and women, and the power of family relationships to enhance and destroy lives.” —Elizabeth Buchan, Daily Mail “The pairing of these two women, at opposite life stages, shows how the generations can heal one another while discovering more about themselves . . . Lovely to read.” —Historical Novel Society “[A] brilliant tale. Rosie Thomas is a writer whose talent shines with every page. I was lost immediately as the pages began turning and the story swallowed me up whole and took me along the two women’s journeys.” —Urban Book Reviews

The Illusionists

A Novel

By: Rosie Thomas

“Beneath this buoyant tale of down-market entertainers in Victorian London rumbles a heavyweight novel . . . Intricate and thrilling” (The New York Times). A young, beautiful woman of limited means, Eliza is modern before her time. Not for her the stifling—if respectable—conventionality of marriage, children, domestic drudgery. She longs for more. Through her work as an artist’s model, she meets the magnetic and irascible Devil—a born showman whose dream is to run his own theater company. Devil’s right-hand man is the improbably named Carlo Boldoni, an ill-tempered dwarf with an enormous talent for all things magic and illusion. Carlo and Devil clash at every opportunity and it constantly falls upon Eliza to broker an uneasy peace between them. And then there is Jasper Button. Mild-mannered and a family man at heart, it is his gift as an artist that makes him the unlikely final member of the motley crew. Thrown together by a twist of fate, their lives are inextricably linked: The fortune of one depends on the fortune of the other. And as Eliza gets sucked into the seductive and dangerous world her strange companions inhabit, she risks not only her heart, but also her life, which is soon thrown into peril. “Love, seduction, magic and illusion collide . . . A spellbinding journey through an extremely shadowy world.” —Daily Express “A brilliant Gothic mix of glitter and grime.” —Daily Mail “Thomas’s sprawling follow-up to The Kashmir Shawl . . . A story of a theater company, a thriller, and, most successfully, a portrait of a woman trying to create an equal partnership with a man.” —Publishers Weekly
