Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. 'A manifesto for recalibrating' DAILY MAIL 'I cant think of many books where the reader feels so passionately on the side of the narrator' Guardian 'Full of kindness, A Still Life will make you a better person' CLARE MACKINTOSH AN EVENING STANDARD BOOK OF 2021 SHORTLISTED FOR THE BARBELLION PRIZE 2021 Josie George lives in a tiny terraced house in the urban West Midlands with her son. Since her early childhood, she has lived with the fluctuating and confusing challenge of disabling chronic illness. Her days are watchful and solitary, lived out in the same hundred or so metres around her home. But Josies world is surprising, intricate, dynamic. She has learned what to look for: the complex patterns of ice on a frozen puddle; the routines of her friends at the community centre; the neighbourhood birds in flight; the slow changes in the morning light, in her small garden, in her growing son, in herself. In January 2018, Josie sets out to tell the story of her still life, over the course of a year. As the seasons shift, and the tides of her body draw in and out, Josie begins to unfurl her history: her childhood bright with promise but shadowed by confinement; her painful adolescence and her hopeful coming of age; the struggle of her marriage, and the triumph of motherhood. And then a most unexpected thing happens in Josies quiet present: she falls in love. A Still Life is a story of illness and pain that rarely sees the light: illness and pain with no end or resolution; illness and pain that we must meet with courage, joy, ingenuity and hope. Against a world which values feel good progress and productivity above all else, Josie sets out a quietly radical alternative: to value and treasure life for life itself, with all its defeats and victories, with all its great and small miracles. 'A beautiful memoir, A Still Life is joy-lit: vivid, lovestruck, hopeful and wise .

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. Thorns, Becky (illustrator). I am a little strange, but warm like porridge and sunshine. I grow things and find treasures. I know the names of the birds and the trees. My body and my mind work differently to most. I am full of surprises. Will you join me? Wonderland exists outside of stories. It's in the cracks between the pavement. In overgrown gardens, down amongst the weeds. It's a witchy, magical, enchanted place. It's waiting for you. And it needs you. Follow the trail laid out for you in this sumptuously illustrated book of letters that will lead you on a journey of discovery into the magical world all around you. If where you live feels grey and boring, if you've ever felt different or alone, doubted yourself or wondered if you really matter, if you've found yourself feeling sad that magic isn't 'real' or longed to feel like someone special in a real story, this book is for you. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.
