Classic Cannon' Sarah Winman -- There's something not quite right about Linda Her house is ordinary, even though she doesn't feel quite at home. Her husband is ordinary, even if he never notices her.

Not even when the murders start. And Linda still might be able to get the tidy ending she deserves... -- 'Cannon's shrewd characterisation, sparky observations and subtly menacing plot makes this a darkly funny and delightfully sinister read' Mail on Sunday 'Compellingly creepy, with precisely observed characterisation... combines pathos with lovely flashes of humour and a wholly unexpected ending' Guardian 'Joanna Cannon creates a world that is so real, so parochial and stifling...

The Power Of Art
THE POWER OF ART is an epic work of non-fiction that will transform our understanding of the world by unlocking the human stories behind millennia of art. Taking readers from ancient Babylon to contemporary Pyongyang, the eminent curator Caroline Campbell explains art's power to illuminate our lives, and inspires us to benefit from its transformative and regenerative power.Unlike the majority of art history, this book is about much more than the cult of personality. Instead, each chapter is structured around a city at a particularly vibrant moment in its history, describing what propelled its creativity and innovation. The emotions and societies she evokes are recognisable today, showing how great art resonates powerfully by transcending the boundaries of time.
