by Kim Curran

€15.99

Ideal for readers who: Enjoy mythic historical fiction steeped in Irish folklore Are in the mood for a radical reimagining of saint and goddess Brigid at a time of upheaval Would enjoy ancient Ireland poised between old gods and new beliefs Want a lush, fierce and transporting reading escape Kim Curran reimagines Brigid with real force, blending folklore, spirituality and resistance into a vivid historical fantasy. It is especially appealing for readers interested in Irish myth seen through a more human and politically charged lens. In a wild, ancient grove at the edge of winter, a desperate girl prays to the gods for her freedom. Born to a slave mother, sold in marriage to a brutal husband, none have ever listened to Brigid's prayers. But this time, a goddess answers, with a vision that will transform Brigid's path forever. Ireland lies on the precipice of change. The new Christian god is coming, a faith that Brigid can bend to her will, building a sisterhood and sanctuary for women with nowhere else to turn. As their numbers grow, so too do the rumours, of just what powers women can hold when they come together. But power, like a flame, consumes as it grows. As Brigid rises, challenging kings, defying bishops, soon she must reckon with what she herself has become. And as her enemies draw closer, eager to reclaim all she has taken from them, what, or who, will she sacrifice to hold on to her legacy?

In this spellbinding anthology, Ireland's most electrifying female writers breathe new life into ancient Irish myths, reclaiming the stories of women who have too long stood in the shadows of warriors and kings. Editor and journalist Ailbhe Malone was raised on these legends - but the women, always cast as mothers, warriors or witches, were never given the lead. And so, Banshee was born: not just a retelling but a radical reclamation. Banshee transports you to treacherous landscapes and salt-crashing seas, generational curses and mystical islands. Here you'll find unruly mothers, rule-breaking queens, and women outrunning their destiny - stories pulsing with desire, danger and defiance.

Through ten simple but profound ways, you'll explore how to: Treat yourself with compassion and respectRedesign your relationship with technologyRespond to criticism without being derailed This is not a manual for quick fixes, but an invitation to reimagine how you live - so that health, clarity, and contentment flow naturally into your days.

by Deirdre O'Neill

€19.99

Ideal for readers who: Are fascinated by Irish history hidden in everyday places and overlooked details. Enjoy books that teach you how to read traces, objects and landscapes differently. Would like to explore Ireland through forgotten remnants, customs and inherited memory. Prefer accessible non-fiction that feels curious, reflective and quietly illuminating. We walk past remnants of our past every day without noticing. Our ancestors left echoes of themselves all around us, if we only know where to look and how to interpret the signs. These remnants lie all over Ireland, telling us of the lives they once touched. Understanding their story roots our knowledge in the foundations of our society and the customs that have shaped the Irish people over centuries. Remnants of Our Past tells the story of Irish people, their memories preserved in these forgotten places. What is now a cold hearth in a collapsing fireplace was once the warm centre where the family gathered and the fire was never allowed to go out. The tranquil parks in our villages were once bustling fair greens, echoing with the bellowing of livestock and the howls of faction fighters.

by Betsy Cornwell

€18.99

Ideal for readers who: Read memoirs about survival, motherhood and the long work of making a home. Are moved by stories where escape becomes a search for safety and selfhood. Would value an Irish coastal setting shaped by housing insecurity, wildness and hope. Prefer honest, lyrical non-fiction with resilience at its centre. Betsy Cornwell left home with her baby on his first birthday, checking into a hotel under a false name so her husband could not track them down. Over the long months of housing insecurity that followed, bouncing around cheap motel rooms and friend's couches, Betsy's determination to offer her son something she'd never had - a safe, stable home - took on the force of obsession. In The Old Knitting Factory, Cornwell invites readers to join her on the path that led out of her violent marriage and into renovating a run-down house on a lake in rural Ireland, transforming a largely abandoned and abused vacation house into a family home and childcare-inclusive arts retreat space for other single parents. Along the way, she creates community and finds family wherever she goes - even when she has to build it herself, brick by brick. Mixing Maid's gripping portrait of single motherhood's precarity with The Salt Path's wild, romantic sense of place - in this case among rural Ireland's cool mists, nubbly Aran yarns, and whispering turf fires - The Old Knitting Factory invites readers to experience the magic of found family and new beginnings.

by Patti Smith

€15.99

Ideal for readers who: Love memoirs about music, art and creative life Enjoy intimate life writing shaped by memory, grief and imagination Are drawn to journeys from post-war childhood to artistic adulthood Want a lyrical, reflective read with real emotional depth A radiant new memoir from beloved artist and writer Patti Smith, author of the National Book Award Winner Just Kids. God whispers through a crease in the wallpaper, writes Patti Smith in this indelible account of her life as an artist. A post-Second World War childhood unfolds in a condemned housing complex described in Dickensian detail: consumptive children, vanishing neighbours, an infested rat house, and a beguiling book of Irish fairytales. We enter the child's world of the imagination where Smith, the captain of her loyal and beloved sibling army, vanquishes bullies, communes with the king of tortoises and searches for sacred silver pennies. The most intimate of Smith's memoirs, Bread of Angels takes us through her teenage years where the first glimmers of art and romance take hold. Arthur Rimbaud and Bob Dylan emerge as creative heroes and role models as Patti starts to write poetry, then lyrics, merging both into the iconic songs and recordings such as Horses and Easter, 'Dancing Barefoot' and 'Because the Night'. She leaves it all behind to marry her one true love, Fred Sonic Smith, with whom she creates a life of devotion and adventure on a canal in St. Clair Shores, Michigan with ancient willows and fulsome pear trees. She builds a room of her own, furnished with a pillow of Moroccan silk, a Persian cup, inkwell and fountain pen. The couple spend nights in their landlocked Chris-Craft studying nautical maps and charting new adventures as they start their family. As Smith suffers profound losses, grief and gratitude are braided through years of caring for her children, rebuilding her life and, finally, writing again - the one constant in a life driven by artistic freedom and the power of the imagination to transform the mundane into the beautiful, the commonplace into the magical, and pain into hope. In the final pages, we meet Patti on the road again, the vagabond who travels to commune with herself, who lives to write and writes to live.

'Spring, at all its stages, has an energy that engages us with the outside world.' 'Seasonal change has always been a great inspiration for my artwork. I love the changing light that brings new colours and smells. The seasons are nature's clock, bringing birds from distant shores to nest and breed in our gardens. So it is hard to say exactly when one season stops and the other begins; the changes are not necessarily gradual but come in fits and starts. Seasons have no regard for the official times written down in a calendar. Spring, more than any other of the seasons, is like this.' Spring Unfurled is the first book in a stunning seasonal quartet from beloved printmaker and illustrator Angela Harding. Each title in this pocket-sized series takes readers on a journey through the seasons, reflecting Angela's observations as the nature around her transforms and evolves over the course of a year. Taking in landscapes across the UK including views from her home studio in Rutland, to the Scottish wilderness, via the low-lying marshlands of Suffolk and the windswept hills of Yorkshire, the beautiful illustrations and evocative imagery of the prose make this the perfect book for nature lovers and art lovers everywhere. Featuring over thirty of Angela Harding's favourite prints alongside observations taken from her books A Year Unfolding, Wild Light and Still Waters & Wild Waves, each short, small book in this seasonal collection is a beautiful new way to enjoy Angela's work and celebrate nature and wildlife across the UK at all times of year. Collect all four titles: Spring Unfurled, Summer's Hum, Falling into Autumn, Winter's Song.
