The stunning new novel of love and secrets from the number 1 bestselling author Santa Montefiore.

The enchanting novel from Sunday Times bestselling author Santa Montefiore 'Let the wind take me and the soft rain settle me into the Irish soil from where I came. And may my sins be forgiven.' Arethusa Clayton has always been formidable, used to getting her own way. On her death, she leaves unexpected instructions. Instead of being buried in America, on the wealthy East Coast where she and her late husband raised their two children, Arethusa has decreed that her ashes be scattered in a remote corner of Ireland, on the hills overlooking the sea. All Arethusa ever told Faye was that she grew up in a poor farming family and left Ireland, alone, to start a new life in America as did so many in those times of hardship and famine. But who were her family in Ireland and where are they now? What was the real reason that she turned away from them? And who is the mysterious benefactor of a significant share of Arethusa's estate? Arethusa is gone. There is no one left to tell her story. Faye feels bereft, as if her mother's whole family has died with her. Leaving her own husband and children behind, she travels to the picturesque village of Ballinakelly, determined to fulfil her mother's last wish and to find out the reason for Arethusa's insistence on being laid to rest in this faraway land.

Lisa and Becka are ordinary girls. They've both got things in their lives they'd like to forget. But when the owner of the flat they're borrowing (without her permission) goes missing, things start to spiral and the girls take to the road on what might be the trip (the last trip) of a lifetime. They break the rules. They make up their own. They lie, cheat and panic in equal measure. It's a story about London, Glasgow, Belfast and Dublin. Drink, drugs, bleached hair and bad disguises. Idle fun, stolen millions and running for your life. Truth of Dare is a rollicking road movie of a book, an exhilarating, funny and poignant novel of female friendship, family... and premeditated murder.

Reproduction of the original: My Double Life by Sarah Bernhardt

Freethinkers of Medieval Islam focuses on the express denial of prophecy in the medieval Islamicate world. The development of Islamic freethinking is analyzed against the background of the significance of prophets in Islam. In her book, Sarah Stroumsa examines the image of freethinkers, and the repercussions of freethinking on Muslim, Jewish and Christian medieval thought. She argue that freethinking, as exemplified by figures like Ibn al-Rāwandī (9th C.) and Abū Bakr al-Rāzī (10th C.), was a pivotal phenomenon, that had a major impact on the development of Islamic thought. In the present context of religious violence carried out in the name of Islam, this book highlights the striking existence of independent freethinking in the world of Islam.

Nonfiction. This is a document about an underground movement we're slowly bridging together through scattered clans of free thinkers, rebels and artists: groups of angry young people fed up living paycheck to paycheck in the wageslave braindeath passive observer (sub)urban trap that is our daily backdrop. An underground movement that has its poetic roots in the old traditions of traveling gypsies and pirates but is alive and well and lurking outside your door and maybe stirring somewhere in your hearts right at this very minute.

"Sasson Somekh's memoir takes shape like a series of telling snapshots from another time and place. The time is the 1930s and '40s and the place, Iraq, where Somekh and his family were part of the country's then-flourishing Jewish community. The book offers an intimate view of this milieu and manages both to describe vividly the young Somekh's intellectual and emotional growth and to map the now-vanished world of Baghdad's book stalls and literary cafes, its Arabic-speaking Jewish bank clerks, outdoor movies at the Cinema Diana, and bonfires by the Tigris. As the pieces of Somekh's unsentimental memoir accumulate, they also mount in meaning. The book celebrates the ups and downs of Iraqi Jewish life as it also portrays the eventual dissolution of the community in the early 1950s."--Jacket.

This new and necessary book--a collection of author profiles, literary journalism and speculative pieces about the Southland's writing and publishing scene--aims to capture the Southern California of here and now. We want to get at the Los Angeles that came after the gumshoes, the wisecracking Englishmen, after the Boosters, the Beats, and the boozers, after the despairing heroines of Joan Didion and the coked-up rich kids of Bret Easton Ellis.
