Our publishing manager visited Whitby over the weekend for a very special photoshoot with a seagull. Our feathered friend wasn't the easiest model to work with as they're pretty notorious for being loud, rowdy and often flying away from set - such a diva!

Nevertheless, we still think they enjoyed themselves being photographed with @adamjfarrer's debut book, Cold Fish Soup! 🌊🐦

Who's been reading Cold Fish Soup over the weekend?

Readers say Adam Farrer's Cold Fish Soup is 'witty', 'moving' and 'laced with humanity'.

Moving to Withernsea represented one thing to Adam: a chance to leave the insecurities of early adolescence behind. And he could do that anywhere. What he didn’t know was how much he’d grow to love the quirks and people of this faded Yorkshire resort, in spite of its dilapidated attractions and retreating clifftops.

Adam lays bare experiences that are universal. His insights on family, friendship, male mental health and suicide are revealed in stories of reinvention, rapacious seagulls, interdimensional werewolves, burlesque dancing pensioners, and his compulsion towards the sea.

Cold Fish Soup is an affectionate look at a place and its inhabitants, the ways in which they can shape and influence someone, and the hope – and hilarity – that can be found in community.

Oh I do like to be beside the seaside, oh I do like to be beside the (very cold) sea 🎶

It's publication day for @adamjfarrer and his debut book, Cold Fish Soup, a stunning memoir of his life in Withernsea, East Yorkshire.

Cold Fish Soup is an affectionate look at a place and it's inhabitants, and the ways in which they can shape and influence someone, especially of an impressionable age.

Adam's account explores what it means to love and be shaped by a place that is under threat, and the hope - and hilarity - that can be found in community.

Happy reading!

🥶 🐟 🥣

Today we celebrate Emily Brontë's birthday with a copy of Claire O'Callaghan's Emily Brontë Reappraised, part of our Women Writers Rediscovered series.

About the book:
Emily Brontë occupies a special place in the English literary canon. And rightly so: the incomparable Wuthering Heights is a novel that has bewitched us for almost 200 years, and the character of Heathcliff is, perhaps, the ultimate romantic hero – and villain. But Emily herself remains an enigmatic figure, often portrayed as awkward, as a misanthrope, as “no normal being”.

That’s the conventional wisdom on Emily as a person, but is it accurate, is it fair? In this biography with a twist, Claire O’Callaghan conjures a new image of Emily and rehabilitates her reputation by exploring the themes of her life and work – her feminism, her passion for the natural world – as well as the art she has inspired, and even the “fake news” stories about her. What we discover is that she was, in fact, a thoroughly modern woman. And now, in the 21st century, it’s time for the real Emily Brontë to please stand up.
