A Wild & True Relation opens during the Great Storm of 1703, as smuggler Tom West confronts his lover Grace for betraying him to the Revenue. Leaving Grace’s cottage in flames, he takes her orphaned daughter Molly on board ship disguised as a boy to join his crew. But Molly, or Orlando as she must call herself, will grow up to outshine all the men of Tom’s company and seek revenge – and a legacy – all of her own.

Woven into Molly’s story are the writers – from Celia Fiennes to Hester Thrale to George Eliot – who are transfixed by her myth and who, over three centuries, come together to solve the mystery of her life. With extraordinary verve and chutzpah, Sherwood remakes the eighteenth-century Heroical novel and challenges women’s writing and women’s roles throughout history.

THREE?
James Bond is missing and presumed dead. In his absence, MI6 is left struggling to pick up the pieces in the face of the world’s deadliest threat yet.

TWO?
Moneypenny’s elite Double O agents – Sid Bashir, Johanna Harwood and Joseph Dryden – are tasked with infiltrating the deadly terrorist organisation Rattenfänger, and unearthing its connection to tech billionaire Sir Bertram Paradise.

ONE?

Ast time ticks away, the stakes couldn’t be higher – and the fate of our lives rests in their hands?
