The tidal year : a memoir on grief, swimming and sisterhood / Freya Bromley.

Freya is still searching. For four years, she's been looking for a way to fill the empty space her brother's death left behind. Ready for another distraction, Freya decides to swim every tidal pool in Britain in a year with her friend Miri. The adventure takes them from a pool hidden in the cliffs of fishing-village Polperro to the quarry lagoon of Abereiddi via Trinkie Wick where locals meet each year to give the pool wall a fresh lick of paint. As Freya travels further from London, she finds herself closer to memories of her brother. With every swim, and every stranger they meet in the water, the challenge becomes more than just a way to explore the coast, but a journey of self-discovery. 'The Tidal Year' is a true story about the healing power of wild swimming and the space it creates for reflection, rewilding, and hope.

The secret hours / Mick Herron.

Monochrome is a busted flush. Beginning as an investigation into the historical misdeeds of the intelligence services by a vindicative prime minister, Monochrome is now circling the drain, much like the careers of the two civil servants - Griselda Fleet and Malcolm Kyle - charged with overseeing the inquiry. And then the OTIS file falls into their hands. What secrets does this hold that see a long-redundant spy being chased through Devon's green lanes in the dark? What happened in a newly reunified Berlin that someone is desperate to keep under wraps? And who will win the battle for the soul of the secret service - or was that decided a long time ago?

Disobedient / Elizabeth Fremantle.

Rome 1611. A city where women are seen but not heard. Artemisia Gentileschi dreams of becoming a great artist. Motherless, she grows up among a family of painters - men and boys. She knows she is more talented than her brothers, but she cannot choose her own future. She wants to experience the world, but she belongs to her father and will belong to a husband. As Artemisia patiently goes from lesson to lesson, perfecting her craft, she also paints in private, recreating the women who inspire her, away from her father's eyes. Until a mysterious tutor enters her life. Tassi is a dashing figure, handsome and worldly, and for a moment he represents everything that a life of freedom might offer. But then the unthinkable happens. In the eyes of her family, Artemisia should accept her fate. In the eyes of the law, she is the villain. But Artemisia is a survivor. And this is her story to tell.

Missing pieces / Laura Pearson.

Once upon a time we were a family. In those days, all I remember was laughter and joy. I was their first-born, and I remember so clearly my parents' pride as I held my little sister, Phoebe, for the first time, the joy shining out of their faces. But then one devastating day, everything changed, when Phoebe died. And it tore us all apart. Then the third daughter - baby Bea - was born. It was meant to be the start of us healing. Becoming a family again. But the truth was, nothing would ever be the same again. Now Bea is all grown up. And she's called me to say she's pregnant. She says she wants to come home. Because she has some questions. After all these years, I know it's time for our family secrets to come to the surface. The secrets we've been trying to pretend never happened. About the missing pieces in our family. And about the very worst day of my life.

A year of last things / Michael Ondaatje.

Born in Sri Lanka during the Second World War, Ondaatje was sent as a child to school in London, and later moved to Canada. While he has lived here since, these poems reflect the life of a writer, traveller and watcher of the world - describing himself as a 'mongrel,' someone born out of diverse cultures. Here, rediscovering the influence of every border crossed, he moves back and forth in time, from a childhood in Sri Lanka to Moliere's chair during his last stage performance, from icons in Bulgarian churches to the California coast and loved Canadian rivers, merging memory with the present, looking back on a life of displacement and discovery, love and loss. At first sight it is a glittering collection of fragments and memories - but small, intricate pieces of a life are precisely what matter most to Ondaatje. They make an emotional history.

Taxtopia : how I discovered the injustices, scams and guilty secrets of the tax-evasion game / The Rebel Accountant.

In 'Taxtopia' a rogue accountant breaks ranks to share his journey from clueless naïf to skilled tax consultant - and in doing so blows the lid on the murky world of making the tax burdens of the ultra-wealthy disappear. In the topsy-turvy world of tax avoidance, you can get richer by buying a yacht, the world's biggest exporter of coffee is Switzerland, and billionaires like Jeff Bezos, Donald Trump and the Duke of Westminster often pay less tax than you do. Written with sharp wit and over-brimming with inside secrets, the anonymous author shows us that not only does the global tax system encourage dubious practice which favours the rich, but that it was specifically founded with that in mind.
