Weird Girls The Yellow Wall-Paper
In the throes of a ‘temporary nervous depression’ following childbirth, a woman is brought by her physician husband to recuperate in an isolated New England mansion.
There she is barred from her work of writing and encouraged to simply get better. Sequestered in the old nursery at the top of the house, with barred windows and a bed nailed to the floor, she has little to do but examine the strange wallpaper that surrounds her – and appears to shift before her very eyes.
Here accompanied by Gilman’s key wider stories, The Yellow Wall-Paper endures as a groundbreaking, deeply disturbing classic of feminist horror.
'A great work of literature, the product of a questing, burning intellect' Maggie O’Farrell

We'll Prescribe You Another Cat
The Kokoro Cat Clinic for the Soul reopens in the irresistible second book in the Kokoro Cat Clinic series for fans of We'll Prescribe You a Cat, The Travelling Cat Chronicles and The Cat Who Saved Books
___________
Readers adore WE'LL PRESCRIBE YOU ANOTHER CAT:
'Oozing with warmth'*****
'I was so engrossed I lost track of time'*****
'I bought the first book and loved it so much that I bought this one too'*****
It’s time to revisit the Kokoro Cat Clinic.
Though it is mysteriously located at an uncertain address, the Kokoro clinic can always be found by those who need it. And it has proven time after time that a prescribed cat has the power to heal the emotional wounds of all its patients.
This irresistible sequel introduces a new loveable cast of healing cats, from Kotetsu, a four-month-old Bengal who unleashes his energy by demolishing bed linen, to curious Shasha, who won't let her tiny size stop her, and lazy Ms. Michiko, who is as soft and comforting as mochi.
As characters from one chapter re-appear as side characters in the next, we follow a young woman who cannot help pushing away the man who loves her; a recently widowed grandfather whose grandson refuses to leave his room; and an anxious man working at a cat shelter who seeks to show how difficult cats can be the most rewarding.
This moving, magical novel proves just how eternally unknowable cats are for we humans, even while we continue to cherish their special gift of transforming our lives.
**Contains five exquisite line drawings by artist Alissa Levy @levysfriends
