Entangled Life
Summary
"Merlin Sheldrake’s marvelous tour of these diverse and extraordinary life forms is eye-opening on why humans should consider fungi among the greatest of earth’s marvels.... Wondrous." (Time) A mind-bending journey into the hidden universe of fungi, “one of those rare books that can truly change the way you see the world around you” (Helen Macdonald, author of H Is for Hawk). Named one of the Best Books of the Year by Time • New Statesman • London Evening Standard • Science Friday When we think of fungi, we likely think of mushrooms. But mushrooms are only fruiting bodies, analogous to apples on a tree. Most fungi live out of sight, yet make up a massively diverse kingdom of organisms that supports and sustains nearly all living systems. Fungi provide a key to understanding the planet on which we live, and the ways we think, feel, and behave. In Entangled Life, the brilliant young biologist Merlin Sheldrake shows us the world from a fungal point of view, providing an exhilarating change of perspective. Sheldrake’s vivid exploration takes us from yeast to psychedelics, to the fungi that range for miles underground and are the largest organisms on the planet, to those that link plants together in complex networks known as the "Wood Wide Web", to those that infiltrate and manipulate insect bodies with devastating precision. Fungi throw our concepts of individuality and even intelligence into question. They are metabolic masters, earth makers, and key players in most of life’s processes. They can change our minds, heal our bodies, and even help us remediate environmental disaster. By examining fungi on their own terms, Sheldrake reveals how these extraordinary organisms - and our relationships with them - are changing our understanding of how life works. Praise for Entangled Life "Entangled Life is a gorgeous book of literary nature writing in the tradition of [Robert] Macfarlane and John Fowles, ripe with insight and erudition.... Food for the soul." (Eugenia Bone, Wall Street Journal) "[An] ebullient and ambitious exploration... This book may not be a psychedelic - and unlike Sheldrake, I haven’t dared to consume my copy (yet) - but reading it left me not just moved but altered, eager to disseminate its message of what fungi can do." (Jennifer Szalai, The New York Times)

He Said/She Said
Summary
In the summer of 1999, Kit and Laura travel to a festival in Cornwall to see a total eclipse of the sun. Kit is an eclipse chaser; Laura has never seen one before. Young and in love, they are certain this will be the first of many they'll share. But in the hushed moments after the shadow passes, Laura interrupts a man and a woman. She knows that she saw something terrible. The man denies it. It is her word against his. The victim seems grateful. Months later she turns up on their doorstep like a lonely stray. But as her gratitude takes a twisted turn, Laura begins to wonder - did she trust the wrong person? Fifteen years later, Kit and Laura married are living under new names and completely off the digital grid: no Facebook, only rudimentary cell phones, not in any directories. But as the truth catches up to them, they realize they can no longer keep the past in the past. From Erin Kelly, queen of the killer twist, He Said/She Said is a gripping tale of the lies we tell to save ourselves, the truths we cannot admit, and how far we will go to make others believe our side of the story.

Stone Mothers
Summary
"Doubly excellent - truly fine psychological suspense, and plenty to think about, too, when your pulse has returned to normal."

Par omission
Summary
Ne restez pas dans le noir ! Au cours d'une éclipse totale de soleil, un jeune couple voit sa vie bouleversée : témoins d'un viol, Laura et Kit ont décidé de témoigner. Quitte à mentir par omission pour être sûrs que l'agresseur de Beth finira en prison. Mais Beth, rejetée par tous, s'est peu à peu immiscée dans leur existence. Et son agresseur, depuis quinze ans, crie vengeance. Terrifiés, Laura et Kit ont déménagé, changé de nom. Aujourd'hui, Laura est enceinte de jumeaux. Quand Kit, en bon chasseur d'éclipse, s'absente pour les îles Féroé, elle sombre dans l'angoisse. Elle sait qu'elle a eu raison de témoigner au procès. Mais elle n'est pas la seule à avoir menti. Quelque chose lui a échappé. Une chose qu'elle n'aurait jamais pu deviner et qui, aujourd'hui, menace de tout faire s'effondrer. Classé parmi les dix meilleures ventes de l'année en Angleterre, Par omission explore avec une extrême finesse les limites auxquelles nous sommes prêts pour protéger nos mensonges. En jouant habilement des nuances, Erin Kelly oppose la parole d'un homme et d'une femme sur le point de devenir parents, obsédés par la perfection, la justice et la transparence. Elle met en évidence cette zone floue, faite de lâchetés et de renoncements, où se faufilent les criminels et où se distille le poison.
