Helen Walsh Knihy

Rachel Masseyová stojí na nábreží, hľadí na plynúcu rieku a vrýva si ten okamih do pamäti. Blíži sa najväčší prelom v jej živote. Stane sa matkou. Už o niekoľko hodín sa jej narodí prvé dieťa a Rachel, odhodlaná byť tou najlepšou mamou na svete, sa jeho príchodu nevie dočkať. V kútiku srdca však cíti aj obavy. Tuší, že nič už nebude ako predtým. Ako všetci nastávajúci rodičia, aj Rachel si svojho nenarodeného potomka idealizuje, preto ju neočakávané ťažkosti až bolestne zaskočia. Vyčerpaná pôrodom a ustavičným nedostatkom spánku začína trpieť halucináciami. Realita a vidiny jej splývajú, všetko sa krúti okolo jedinej túžby – konečne sa vyspať. Ako ďaleko je v hlbokej depresii schopná zájsť, aby svoje dieťa uspala?

This beautiful and absorbing book explores the remarkable collection of 'Professional Yorkshireman' W.A. Ismay MBE (1910-2001), the UK's most prolific collector of post-war British studio pottery.0This book offers fresh perspectives on a marginalized area of British modernism. Tracing the collection's journey from private to public ownership illuminates issues surrounding the acquisition by a museum of a large personal collection and archive, revealing the transformative effect it has had on both curatorial practice and the ambition of regional public institutions. The W.A. Ismay Collection offers a well-documented example of the valuable contribution collectors can make to the British studio ceramics movement.0The publication of this research marks 20 years since the W.A. Ismay Collection moved from private to public ownership and to celebrate that anniversary, an exhibition of the collection will take place at York Art Gallery's Centre of Ceramic Art (CoCA).00Exhibition: York Art Gallery's Centre of Ceramic Art, York, UK / York Art Gallery, York, UK (opens 15.10.2021)

Meet the Fitzgeralds - they will open your eyes and capture your heart

Nineteen-year-old Millie O'Reilly is clever, spiky and adored by men yet utterly forlorn. Increasingly disillusioned, she seeks an escape in the underbelly of Liverpool...Shockingly candid and brutally poetic, Helen Walsh has created a portrait of a city and a generation that offers a female perspective on the harsh truth of growing up in today's Britain.Brass is an unsettling but ultimately compassionate account of the possibilities of identity and the desirability of love.

Jane's partner goes missing just as she's promoted to Director of Toronto International Film Festival. Now, not only does she need to find out if he's in danger, but she must contend with festival politics: Hollywood power brokers, Russian oil speculators, Chinese propagandists, and a board chair who seemingly has it out for her.

Helen Walsh's THE LEMON GROVE is a tense, sensuous story of a marriage ripped apart by desire and obsession, set in the Mallorcan summer holiday resort of Deia. Perfect for readers who loved APPLE TREE YARD, it is soon to be a major film.Each summer, Jenn and her husband Greg return to Deia, on Mallorca's dramatic west coast. This year the arrival of Emma, Jenn's stepdaughter, and her new boyfriend Nathan threatens to upset their equilibrium. Beautiful and reckless, Nathan stirs something unexpected in Jenn. As she is increasingly seduced by Nathan's youth and the promise of passion, the line between desire and obsession begins to blur. What follows is a highly-charged liaison that puts lives and relationships in jeopardy. For Jenn, after this summer, nothing can ever be the same.

As she drinks in the view in front of her, Rachel Massey stands on the cusp of the biggest journey of her life. For Rachel is about to become a mother. Mere hours from now, her first baby will be here and she can't wait to meet it. Terrified and excited, there is nothing she wants more, yet she senses things will never be the same again. This is the story of Rachel's voyage into motherhood. Full of the same hopes and dreams as any parent-to-be, she soon realises that nothing about this new world is as she imagined. As the raw shock of sleep deprivation takes its toll on her and the truth begins to blur with the unreal, Rachel becomes consumed by one sole desire - to sleep. But how far will she go to get her baby to sleep? Devastatingly honest and shockingly painful at times, Go To Sleep is a heart-wrenching story about one woman and her newborn child. It strips motherhood bare in the most unforgettable of ways.
