The Sea Change: A witty and heart-rending literary fiction novel from a bestselling family saga author

"Brought to life with dual narration by Jonathan Keeble and Emma Gregory From the bestselling author of the Cazalet Chronicles, The Sea Change is a witty yet heart-rending story of a marriage in crisis. Emmanuel is a famous playwright. Lillian is his sickly and embittered wife. They have never fully buried the memory of their dead daughter, Sarah. Rich but discontented, they flit from capital to capital in the company of their hero-worshipping young manager. Then Alberta, straight from an English vicarage and the pages of Jane Austen, is appointed as Emmanuel's secretary. This prim and utterly delightful figure helps the family in ways they didn't know they needed. And, slowly, she will change their lives forever . . . 'Her talent seemed so effervescent, so unstoppable, that there was no predicting where it might take her' - Hilary Mantel, author of Wolf Hall"

The Countess: Seduction, power and the extraordinary life of Emily Cowper

"'Riveting' -- The Times 'A triumph' -- David Kynaston 'Lively and informative' -- Miranda Seymour 'The resurrection of a remarkable woman erased from history' -- Katy Hessel 'Extraordinary' -- Peter Jones The spellbinding true story of Emily Cowper, Regency socialite turned Victorian powerbroker Emily, Countess Cowper was stubborn, beautiful and intensely ambitious. She took Regency society by storm, captivating famous statesmen and the young Queen Victoria. Born the Hon. Emily Lamb, she was brought up at the centre of glamorous Regency high society with its duels and dissipation. Her godmother was the infamous Georgiana, Duchess of Devonshire, and Lord Byron an acolyte and admirer. When her marriage to Earl Cowper soured, she took a string of lovers, eventually taming a rake: the promising, promiscuous Lord Palmerston. Emily's life resembled real life Bridgerton - she even inspired the character Cressida Cowper. But her petticoats and parties belied a steely determination. Yearning for power beyond the ballroom, she used her political genius to engineer the premierships of her brother, Lord Melbourne, and her lover, Lord Palmerston. Once in Downing Street, she acted as chief counsel, speechwriter, press officer and tireless schemer for the Whig cause - from women's rights to the eradication of slavery. By proxy she became one of the most powerful people in England and changed the course of history. But her story has never been told - until now. Written with novelistic richness and extraordinary detail drawn from thousands of intimate letters and journals. The Countess unveils the life of this exceptional woman and offers a new insight into the time in which she lived."

A House and Its Head

"A House and Its Head is a brilliantly icy comedy of cruelty from the ‘original, artful and elegant’ Ivy Compton-Burnett – so admired by Hilary Mantel. In the late‑Victorian Edgeworth household, everything appears orderly: a prosperous country house, an upright master, a dutiful wife and well‑brought‑up children. Behind the decorum, Duncan Edgeworth rules by sarcasm and command, his quiet tyranny shaping every conversation. When illness, death and a hasty remarriage bring beautiful young Alison into the house, buried rivalries flare – over love, money and who will inherit. As secrets multiply and alliances shift, even the nursery becomes a battleground… As with Manservant and Maidservant, the author’s depth and distinctive wit is captured by Emma Gregory, whose facility for the pithy dialogue of multiple characters is a listener’s gift. ‘Shrewd, sly, mordantly funny and magnificently odd, few literary voices are as distinctive, or as entertaining, as Ivy Compton-Burnett’s.’ Sarah Waters"
