Music in the Dark - Sally Magnusson - Bog - John Murray Press - Plusbog.dk

''Wonderful and moving'' Clare Chambers''Utterly absorbing'' Sunday Post SHORTLISTED FOR THE WINSTON GRAHAM HISTORICAL PRIZE LONGLISTED FOR THE WALTER SCOTT PRIZE Jamesina Ross is long finished with men. But one night a stranger seeking lodgings knocks on the door of her tenement flat. He doesn''t recognise her, but she remembers him at once. Not that she plans to mention it. She has no intention of trusting anyone enough to let herself be vulnerable again. A lifetime ago, growing up in a Highland glen, Jamesina Ross wrote songs about the land and the kin who had worked it for generations. But her music was no match for the violence her community faced in the Highland Clearances. Jamesina has borne the disfigurements of that day ever since, on her face and inside her head. Her lodger thinks that if she would only dare to open the past, she might have the chance of a future. This is a story about resilience, memory, resurrection - and those parts of who we are that nobody can take away. A beautiful exploration of unlooked-for love in later life, its contrariness and its awkward, surprising joys, this is a story about resilience, memory, resurrection - and those parts of who we are that nobody can take away.

Little Town Moone - June Caldwell - Bog - John Murray Press - Plusbog.dk

''Caldwell is a savage, audacious and brilliant new female voice'' Hot Press Somewhere in Ireland a young woman takes a risk late one night and ends up dream-scaling the consequences. Caught in the clutches of fear with a dangerous character during a long car journey, she rakes through her past to assess what kind of future she might have had as time, place, memory and meaning begin to dissolve. She arrives at a small house close to a motorway with just the company of other buried women to talk to. Here she fantasises of escape and wonders who might be out looking for her, and builds up the strength to fight back. Little Town Moone examines what it means to be female in a country with a long history of devaluing women, where misogyny is often overlooked as a cultural by-product of bleaker times. Part-fable, part-thriller, it is a poetic examination of trauma, fortitude and hopefully, liberation.

Herald of a Restless World - Emily Herring - Bog - John Murray Press - Plusbog.dk

Herald of a Restless World - Emily Herring - Bog - John Murray Press - Plusbog.dk

The first English-language biography of Henri Bergson, the philosopher who defined individual creativity and transformed twentieth century thought. At the dawn of the twentieth century, Henri Bergson became the most famous philosopher on earth. Where prior thinkers sketched out a predictable universe, he asserted the transformative power of consciousness and creativity. An international celebrity, he made headlines around the world debating luminaries like Bertrand Russell and Albert Einstein about free will and time. The vision of creative evolution and freedom he presented was so disruptive that the New York Times branded him "the most dangerous man in the world." In the first English-language biography of Bergson, Emily Herring traces how his celebration of the time-bending uniqueness of individual experience struck a chord with those shaken by modern technological and social change. Bergson captivated a society in flux like no other. Long after he faded from public view, his insights into memory, time, joy and creativity continue to shape our perceptions to this day. Herald of a Restless World is an electrifying portrait of a singular intellect.
