Laura must face the consequences of her cruelty, but there are far worse things hidden in her past. A sharp, tense debut that should please fans of Nicci French.</p> http://www.wbqonline.com/review.do?bookid=6904370 fiction, friendship, bullying http://www.wbqonline.com/review.do?bookid=6904370 Fri, 05 Mar 2010 00:00:00 +0100 The Equality Illusion by Kat Banyard <p>Feminism is no longer fashionable. Indeed, it is frequently perceived to have become irrelevant. Laws have been passed, at least in the West, which should have rendered it unnecessary. Kay Banyard argues not only that much of this legislation amounts to little more than a series of ‘abstract pledges’, but also that gender inequality is manifest in seemingly equal-opportunity modern ills, such as climate change and globalisation.  </p> <p>This is a serious book, rigorously referenced and researched. It’s saved from dryness, however, by the boldness of Banyard’s assertions and the shocking statistics, many of which will have you rifling the footnotes in initial disbelief.<font size="1" face="\\\\"Helvetica," class="\\\\"Apple-style-span\\\\""><span class="\\\\"Apple-style-span\\\\"" style=""><br /> </span></font></p> http://www.wbqonline.com/review.do?bookid=7102705 non-fiction, politics, culture http://www.wbqonline.com/review.do?bookid=7102705 Thu, 04 Mar 2010 00:00:00 +0100 Canteen: Great British Food by Cass Titcombe <p>In 2005 Cass Titcombe and Patrick Clayton-Malone launched the Canteen restaurant chain and started a mini food revolution. Ignoring the latest à la carte trends, Canteen offered no-frills British cuisine at affordable prices and became one of the most talked-about restaurant chains in the capital. This book collects 120 of the dishes that have put them on the map, including treacle tart and steak and kidney pie. The recipes evoke nostalgia, treating flavours of the past in an innovative and thoroughly modern way. <br />  </p> http://www.wbqonline.com/review.do?bookid=6840383 food&leisure, british, food http://www.wbqonline.com/review.do?bookid=6840383 Thu, 04 Mar 2010 00:00:00 +0100 The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind by William Kamkwamba <p>This is the remarkable memoir of William Kamkwamba, a teenager from a poverty-stricken village in Malawi, who taught himself how to build windmills that now generate electricity for his community and others like it.

Ripping stuff, contentedly subjective, but jam-packed with tales of the white man’s grave, of Crusoe’s other island and of ‘Nanny knows best’.<font size="1" face="\\"Helvetica," class="\\"Apple-style-span\\""><span style="" class="\\"Apple-style-span\\""><br /> </span></font></p> http://www.wbqonline.com/review.do?bookid=6523267 non-fiction, memoir, biography http://www.wbqonline.com/review.do?bookid=6523267 Thu, 04 Mar 2010 00:00:00 +0100 Places in Turkey by Francis Russell <p>Turkey offers a multitude of options for the traveller.

Casting his quizzical eye over everything from gender stereotyping and comic books to his family’s love for Doctor Who and why men never carry purses, Chabon creates a book in which memory and reflection combine to investigate what the subtitle calls ‘the pleasures and regrets of a husband, father and son’.</p> http://www.wbqonline.com/review.do?bookid=7093177 non-fiction, essays, gender http://www.wbqonline.com/review.do?bookid=7093177 Thu, 04 Mar 2010 00:00:00 +0100 A Brush with Nature by Richard Mabey <p>For more than 20 years, Richard Mabey has been writing for BBC Wildlife Magazine and his finest columns are gathered in this new collection. Grouped under the headings ‘Roots’, ‘Wings’, ‘Leaves’, ‘Tracks’, ‘Images’, ‘Words’ and ‘Issues’, the essays collected in A Brush with Nature offer Mabey’s wide-ranging observations, from a joyous paean to spring to a surprising entry on Will Self’s novel The Book of Dave. </p> <p>The writings are beautiful but brief; perfect to set aside as you hoick on your boots, eager to encounter the glories of the natural world – an eagerness fuelled by Mabey’s vast knowledge and exquisite prose. This is a wonderful book by our finest living nature writer.<font size="1" face="\\"Helvetica," class="\\"Apple-style-span\\""><span style="" class="\\"Apple-style-span\\""><br /> </span></font></p> http://www.wbqonline.com/review.do?bookid=6821899 non-fiction, nature, natural histor... http://www.wbqonline.com/review.do?bookid=6821899 Thu, 04 Mar 2010 00:00:00 +0100 Country Driving by Peter Hessler <p>Peter Hessler, the New Yorker’s Beijing correspondent, has already written two highly praised books on China. Like them, this account of seven years’ driving in China is genre-defying, uniquely informed and Brysonesque in its grasp of the absurd. With a thousand new drivers registering every day in Beijing alone, it’s also a little like <br /> a hair-raising, eye-watering road movie: ‘Nowhere else do people take such joy in driving badly.’</p> <p>We meet teachers, farmers, entrepreneurs and apparatchiks, all struggling with China’s headlong changes. With all this chaos, no wonder an actor, chosen to play Mao in a film, is creepily stuck in character, longing for that inward-looking past.</p> http://www.wbqonline.com/review.do?bookid=7159060 travel, china, new yorker http://www.wbqonline.com/review.do?bookid=7159060 Thu, 04 Mar 2010 00:00:00 +0100 This Bleeding City by Alex Preston <p>Reading the blurb for Alex Preston’s <a href="http://www.waterstones.com/waterstonesweb/products/alex+preston/this+bleeding+city/6992300/">This Bleeding City</a>, one could be forgiven for dismissing it as just another financial thriller. This excellent debut novel is, in fact, a great deal more than that, and goes far beyond the confines of the thriller genre, emerging as a work of complex, well-drawn characters and real emotional power. Moving from a provincial seaside town, Charlie Wales falls in with a wealthy, hedonistic crowd at Edinburgh University, and then drifts with them to London in search of a job in the city to fund his lifestyle. Securing a position at a top London hedge fund, he sees his dreams of wealth within his grasp. As the crash hits, however, Charlie’s financial and personal lives disintegrate in tandem, and the full horror of the crunch unfolds. An unflinching depiction of the reality of life in the City and the dreams and nightmares that it can bring.</span></span></p> <p><a href=\"http://www.waterstones.com/waterstonesweb/products/alex+preston/this+bleeding+city/6992300/"><strong>This Bleeding City</strong></a><br /> </p> <p>Alex Preston<br /> <</p> <p>Faber and Faber<br /> </p> <p><a href="http://www.waterstones.com/waterstonesweb/products/alex+preston/this+bleeding+city/6992300/"> http://www.wbqonline.com/review.do?bookid=6992300 thriller, debut, financial http://www.wbqonline.com/review.do?bookid=6992300 Thu, 04 Mar 2010 00:00:00 +0100 The Imperfectionists by Tom Rachman <p>Rachman has written a series of 11 stories, one for each staff member on a newspaper. Every one of them is caught up in their own preoccupations, until realisation of their impending fate finally dawns.

A stylistic tour de force, that novel successfully told, in the tricky collective first-person-plural ‘we’, the story of a group of disillusioned advertising executives in an über-corporate Chicago outfit. Rarely has life in an office been so intelligently, humorously and poignantly rendered.</p> <p>For that ‘difficult’ second novel, The Unnamed, Ferris has reversed the concept: he’s brought the office into the home. But it’s not just the office – it’s all the corporate baggage of ambition, monetary reward and status. On top of this he’s added the dimension of matter over mind, setting the body’s physical power against the brain’s overloaded circuitry.</p> <p>Tim Farnsworth is a partner at a swanky Manhattan law firm, with a beautiful wife, Jane, and an awkward teenage daughter, Becka, at home in the suburbs. He wants for nothing, yet he’s afflicted by a mysterious mental illness which means every few years he’s overtaken by an uncontrollable urge to up and walk – and keep walking. Jane has tried everything from handcuffing him to the bed (with his blessing), to following him in the car and, finally, alcohol (to medicate herself). The anchors that have struggled to keep Tim in place steadily dislodge one by one, often with surprising consequences, especially when it comes to his relationship with his daughter.</p> <p>In essence, Ferris is asking what it means to work, to provide for your family – and then to walk away from it all. An answer of sorts is beautifully described towards the end of the novel: it amounts to not dismissing the nihilism of the body, but trying to find peace with oneself, all alone, beyond anyone else’s control.</p> <p>Now, The Unnamed can be a perplexing read at times – even an infuriating one if you’re a stickler for a narrower kind of accuracy and realism. However, deep within the book’s exquisite prose, multi-layered plot and timelines lies another work of breathtaking originality.</p> <p><strong>If you like this, you'll love…</strong></p> <p><a href="www.waterstones.com/waterstonesweb/products/don+delillo/cosmopolis/5433697/">Cosmopolis </a><br /> by Don DeLillo<br /> Picador</p> <p>One April day in 2000, 28-year-old billionaire asset manager Eric Packer is caught in gridlock thanks to the President’s motorcade, a rapper’s funeral and an anti-globalisation protest. As his limo crawls through Manhattan, Eric grows paranoid, convinced his life is in danger. This is DeLillo’s acerbic comment on the American dream.<br /> <br /> <a href="http://http://www.waterstones.com/waterstonesweb/products/john+lanchester/mr-+phillips/4864358/">Mr Phillips </a><br /> by John Lanchester<br /> Faber</p> <p>Mr Phillips leaves his home one morning, dressed for work. After 30 years at Wilkins & Co, he can’t face telling his wife about his redundancy. So begins a day that turns into an adventure. Lanchester gets under the skin of middle-aged suburbia in a funny, poignant portrayal of a man without purpose.<br /> <br /> <a href="http://http://www.waterstones.com/waterstonesweb/products/kazuo+ishiguro/the+unconsoled/3708193/">The Unconsoled </a><br /> by Kazuo Ishiguro<br /> Faber</p> <p>A pianist arrives in an unnamed central European city to play at a concert he has no memory of agreeing to give. As things grow ever more bizarre, Ryder comes to see that this will be the performance of his life. Very different from anything else Ishiguro has written: a distinctly Kafkaesque novel.</p> http://www.wbqonline.com/review.do?bookid=6981763 fiction, america, families http://www.wbqonline.com/review.do?bookid=6981763 Thu, 25 Feb 2010 00:00:00 +0100 Horns by Joe Hill <p>Ignatius Perrish’s girlfriend is brutally raped and murdered. Though innocent, Perrish is widely assumed to be guilty. A year later, after a heavy night drinking, he wakes up, unsurprisingly hungover; more surprisingly, he’s sporting a set of horns and has developed a new skill: he can read people’s minds, and, at a simple suggestion from him, they act on their secret desires. Perrish soon discovers that townsfolk have thoughts he’d rather not hear – and that those thoughts are taking him back to the death of his girlfriend.  </p> <p>Joe Hill digs beneath the surface of civility to expose the brutal and savage sides of human nature. The result is an excellent read, full of dark wit and disturbing revelations.<font size=\"1\" face=\"\\"Helvetica,\" class=\"\\"Apple-style-span\\"\"><span style=\"\" class=\"\\"Apple-style-span\\"\"><br /> </span></font></p> http://www.wbqonline.com/review.do?bookid=6844432 sf & fantasy, fantasy, horror http://www.wbqonline.com/review.do?bookid=6844432 Thu, 18 Feb 2010 00:00:00 +0100 Before the Earthquake by Maria Allen <p>In this compelling debut, 15-year-old Concetta survives a devastating earthquake.
