The Axeman’s Carnival<br />
by Catherine Chidgey<br />
Everywhere, the birds: sparrows and skylarks and thrushes, starlings and bellbirds, fantails and<br />
pipits – but above them all and louder, the magpies. We are here and this is our tree and we’re<br />
staying and it is ours and you need to leave and now. Tama is just a helpless chick when he<br />
is rescued by Marnie, and this is where his story might have ended. ‘If it keeps me awake,’<br />
says Marnie’s husband Rob, a farmer, ‘I’ll have to wring its neck.’ But with Tama come new<br />
possibilities for the couple’s future. Tama can speak, and his fame is growing. Outside, in the<br />
pines, his father warns him of the wickedness wrought by humans. Indoors, Marnie confides<br />
in him about her violent marriage. The more Tama sees, the more the animal and the human<br />
worlds – and all of the precarity, darkness and hope within them – bleed into one another. Like a<br />
stock truck filled with live cargo, the story moves inexorably towards its dramatic conclusion: the<br />
annual Axeman’s Carnival. Part trickster, part surrogate child, part witness, Tama the magpie is<br />
the star of this story. Though what he says aloud to humans is often nonsensical (and hilarious<br />
with it), the tale he tells us weaves a disturbingly human sense. The Axeman’s Carnival is<br />
Catherine Chidgey at her finest – comic, profound, poetic and true.<br />
Overreach<br />
The Inside Story of Putin’s War Against Ukraine<br />
by Owen Matthews<br />
An astonishing investigation into the start of the Russo-Ukrainian war – from the corridors of the<br />
Kremlin to the trenches of Mariupol.<br />
The Russo-Ukrainian War is the most serious geopolitical crisis since the Second World War – and<br />
yet at the heart of the conflict is a mystery. Vladimir Putin apparently lurched from a calculating,<br />
subtle master of opportunity to a reckless gambler, putting his regime – and Russia itself – at risk of<br />
destruction. Why?<br />
Drawing on over 25 years’ experience as a correspondent in Moscow, as well as his own family<br />
ties to Russia and Ukraine, journalist Owen Matthews takes us through the poisoned historical roots<br />
of the conflict, into the Covid bubble where Putin conceived his invasion plans in a fog of paranoia<br />
about Western threats, and finally into the inner circle around Ukrainian president and unexpected<br />
war hero Volodimir Zelensky.<br />
With its panoramic view, Overreach is an authoritative, unmissable record of a conflict that shocked<br />
Europe to its core.<br />
Dawnlands<br />
by Philippa Gregory<br />
The new historical novel from Philippa Gregory, the Number One bestselling author of Tidelands<br />
and Dark Tides. The spellbinding Fairmile series continues as the fiercely independent Alinor and<br />
her family find themselves entangled in palace intrigue, political upheaval, and life-changing<br />
secrets in seventeenth-century England. It is 1685, England is on the brink of a renewed civil war<br />
against the Stuart kings and many families are bitterly divided. Ned Ferryman cannot persuade his<br />
sister Alinor that he is right to return from America with his Pokanoket servant Rowan to join the<br />
rebel army. Instead, Alinor has been coaxed by the manipulative Livia to save the queen from the<br />
coming siege. The rewards are life-changing: the family could return to their beloved Tidelands,<br />
and Alinor could rule where she was once lower than a servant. Alinor’s son, Rob, is determined<br />
to stay clear of the war, but when he and his nephew set out to free Ned from execution for treason<br />
and Rowan from a convict deportation to Barbados, they find themselves enmeshed in the creation<br />
of an imposter Prince of Wales - a surrogate baby to the queen. From the last battle in the desolate<br />
Somerset Levels to the hidden caves on the slave island of Barbados, this third volume of an epic<br />
story follows a family from one end of the empire to another, to find a new dawn in a world which<br />
is opening up before them with greater rewards and dangers than ever before.<br />
Spies and Lies<br />
How China’s Greatest Covert Operations Fooled the<br />
World By Alex Joske<br />
A groundbreaking exposé of elite influence operations by China’s little-known Ministry of State<br />
Security. Revealing for the first time how the Chinese Communist Party has tasked its spies to<br />
deceive the world, it challenges the conventional account of China’s past, present and future.<br />
Mere years ago, Western governments chose to cooperate with China in the hope that it would<br />
liberalise, setting aside concerns about human rights abuses, totalitarian ambitions and espionage.<br />
But the axiom of China’s ‘peaceful rise’ has been fundamentally challenged by the Chinese<br />
Communist Party’s authoritarian behaviour under Xi Jinping...How did we get it wrong for so long?<br />
Spies and Lies pierces the Ministry of State Security’s walls of secrecy and reveals how agents of<br />
the Chinese Communist Party have spent decades manipulating the West’s attitudes – from an<br />
Australian prime minister to the US Congress, prominent think tanks and the FBI – about China’s<br />
rise. An extraordinary insight into the most successful influence operation in history – one which<br />
has fooled the West for years – and is indispensable reading.<br />
