Paperback. Zustand: New. A rare, revelatory portrait of Joan Didion -- told not through her essays or fame, but through fifty years of unshakable friendship. and food! When journalist and novelist Sara Davidson met Joan Didion in the 1970s, neither could have predicted the decades of dinners, deep conversations, and quiet rituals that would follow. In Come to Dinner, Davidson opens the door to their private world, offering an intimate memoir of literary sisterhood -- one filled with tenderness, wit, and the kind of wisdom exchanged only across time and trust. From Malibu beach walks to Manhattan suppers, shared grief to unguarded hilarity, Davidson captures the Joan few ever saw: fiercely loyal, disarmingly funny, and unwavering in her support of other women writers. What emerges is not a biography, but a deeply human portrait of Joan as a friend, mentor, and kindred spirit. For fans of The Year of Magical Thinking, Sontag: Her Life and Work, and Let Me Tell You What I Mean, this is a story not just of Didion's legacy, but of female friendship told through a rich menu of radical love, creativity, and survival.…

Paperback. Zustand: New. A radical daughter. A closeted father. A prim mother turned protester. One runaway girl sets a family on fire - and lights the way to liberation. In the bleak winter of 1982, fifteen-year-old Bridget has had enough. Enough of Thatcher's Britain, enough of being invisible, and enough of her family's secrets. Armed with little more than a sharp tongue and a fierce sense of justice, she runs away from her suburban life to join the Greenham Common Women's Peace Camp - one of the most iconic protest movements in British history. But Bridget's disappearance doesn't just blow open her own life. It sends shockwaves through her fractured family: her distant, conservative mother, who's about to fall headlong into a love affair she never saw coming, and her father - a man with secrets of his own, who's spent a lifetime hiding in plain sight. Set at the unlikely intersection of nuclear disarmament and personal awakening, FALLOUT is a fearless, darkly funny exploration of identity, family, and midlife reinvention. With an irreverent bite that evokes Fleabag, the emotional complexity of Bad Sisters, and the political urgency of Milkman, Eleanor Anstruther has written a novel that is 'gutsy, urgent, and heartfelt' (Emma Forrest), full of 'wit, fire, and serious truths' (Joanna Pocock). As the three members of this quietly explosive family collide on the protest lines - armed with placards, secrets, and unlikely hope - they're forced to confront what they've been hiding from each other, and from themselves. Perfect for readers of Meg Mason, Ali Smith, and Nina Stibbe, FALLOUT is a luminous, unforgettable novel about the lies we tell to survive - and the courage it takes to finally come undone. …

Paperback. Zustand: new. Paperback. A midlife spy with outlawed magic. An ex-lover back from the dead. And a conspiracy that could unravel the Department from within. What if the most dangerous thing you ever buried. was yourself? London, rewritten by shadow and spell, hides a secret branch of magical intelligence: The Department of Dark Errands. Its operatives don't just chase traitors-they hunt the things that slip between worlds. Nyra Vex was once the Department's brightest commander. Now, at forty-five, she runs a quiet apothecary on the canals of Little Venice, blending teas for widows and grief-torn strangers, her past life sealed behind scars and silence. But when a shadowbeast tears through her wards and whispers her name, Nyra is dragged back into the Department's grip-reinstated, rearmed, and paired with the one man she swore she'd never see again. Beck Morran. Her tether. Her lover. Her betrayal. Dead ten years. Now alive-reanimated, cursed, and bound to the Patron's coin. As Nyra and Beck navigate a labyrinth of assassins, forbidden magic, and conspiracies older than Boudicca, the tether between them reignites-part weapon, part desire, part doom. Every mission drags them deeper into the Department's living, breathing underworld of archives, sigils, and shadow incursions, where loyalty is tested and survival is never guaranteed. But Nyra has her own secret. She is shadowmarked. And the magic inside her may be the only thing that can cut Beck free-or burn the world down trying. Perfect for fans of Rebecca Yarros, Deborah Harkness, and Killing Eve, Shadowmarked is a darkly seductive blend of spy thriller, witchcraft, and midlife romantasy. With dangerous men in three-piece suits, blades forged in blood, and a heroine who's equal parts apothecary and assassin, this is not a story about staying safe. It's about choosing which shadows you're willing to burn for. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…
