In this sly and dazzling contemporary fantasy, the most notorious nine-tailed fox in Korea pairs up with a trickster godturneddetective to track down a wrathful demon . . . before it can destroy the mortal world.Enchanting fantasy . . . With an intoxicating mix of action, mystery, and deliciously angsty romance, this reads like the most bingeable K-drama.Publishers Weekly (starred review)Kim Hani has retired from a life of devouring souls. She is, simply put, too full. Once known as the infamous Scarlet Fox, she now spends her days working in a coffee shop and annoying a particularly irritating, if unfairly handsome, trickster god as often as she can. That god is Seokga the Fallen. Exiled from the heavenly kingdom of Okhwang, he now begrudgingly resides in the mortal realm, working toward his redemption and suffering through his interactions with the particularly infuriating, if sneakily charming, gumiho barista at his favorite cafe. But when a powerful demon escapes from the underworld and threatens to end all of humanity, Okhwangs emperor offers Seokga an enticing bargain: Kill this rogue creature, as well as the legendary and elusive Scarlet Fox, and he will be reinstated as a god. Hani, however, has no intention of being caught. Seokga might be a trickster god, but she has a trick of her own that hell never see coming: teaming up. As Seokgas assistant, Hani will undermine and sabotage his investigation right under his overly pointy nose. Sure, shell help him kill the demon, but she certainly wont allow him to uncover her secret identity while theyre at it. As the bickering partners track their case down a path of mayhem and violence, the god and the gumiho find themselves inescapably drawn to each other. But will the unlikely couple stand together to prevent the apocalypse, or will they let their secrets tear themand the worldapart?

BoyMum is one of the most thought-provoking books Ive read as a parentThe Times BoyMum is about boys and young men - how we are raising them, and what it means to be a man-in-the-making in an era when #MeToo has challenged our tolerance for toxic masculinity, yet the pressure on young men to be masculine has never been more intense.It is also a mothers perspective. Ruth Whippman is the proud/overwhelmed, feminist mother of three boys and her family life can be a daily confrontation with the triumph of nature over nurture. All too aware that her parenting today will shape the men her sons become tomorrow, she explores the expectations placed on boys - must boys be boys?; the messages we send girls but not boys (but they really need to hear too); boys in the classroom and boys online; incels; entitlement, sexual harassment and "cancel culture" and what radicalizes young men.Blending memoir with cultural analysis, and approaching her subject with wit, honesty and open-mindedness, this is a sympathetic investigation into where we are going wrong with raising boys, and how trying to change those patterns must be one of societys most urgent cultural projects.

I found it SO WELL WRITTEN, so witty and funny and reading it I was often envious of Ruth Whippmans facility with language. It was a hugely engaging read, accessible and so relevant... Ive been quite evangelical about it." Marian Keyes, best-selling author of Grown Ups

The story of herring is entwined in the history of commercial fishing. For over two millennia, herring has been commercially caught and its importance to the coastal peoples of Britain cannot be measured. At one point tens of thousands were involved in the catching, processing and sale of herring. They followed the shoals around the coast from Stornoway to Penzance and many towns on Britains east coast grew rich on the backs of the silver darlings.Fishing historian Mike Smylie looks at the effects of herring on the people who caught them, their unique ways of life, the superstitions of the fisher folk, their boats and the communities who lived for the silver darlings.With a wealth of illustrations, this fascinating book reveals the little-known history of the herring. And for those whove neglected the silver darlings for lesser fish such as cod and haddock, there are a number of mouth-watering recipes to try.
