Mark Bowden

A Story of Modern War

Already a classic of war reporting and now reissued as a Grove Press paperback, Black Hawk Down is Mark Bowden's brilliant account of the longest sustained firefight involving American troops since the Vietnam War.

On October 3, 1993, about a hundred elite U.S. soldiers were dropped by helicopter into the teeming market in the heart of Mogadishu, Somalia. Their mission was to abduct two top lieutenants of a Somali warlord and return to base. It was supposed to take an hour. Instead, they found themselves pinned down through a long and terrible night fighting against thousands of heavily-armed Somalis. The following morning, eighteen Americans were dead and more than seventy had been badly wounded.
Drawing on interviews from both sides, army records, audiotapes, and videos (some of the material is still classified), Bowden's minute-by-minute narrative is one of the most exciting accounts of modern combat ever written--a riveting story that captures the heroism, courage, and brutality of battle.

The instant #1 New York Times bestseller "An unforgettable—and Hollywood-bound—new thriller... A mix of Hitchcockian suspense, Agatha Christie plotting, and Greek tragedy." —Entertainment Weekly The Silent Patient is a shocking psychological thriller of a woman’s act of violence against her husband—and of the therapist obsessed with uncovering her motive. Alicia Berenson’s life is seemingly perfect. A famous painter married to an in-demand fashion photographer, she lives in a grand house with big windows overlooking a park in one of London’s most desirable areas. One evening her husband Gabriel returns home late from a fashion shoot, and Alicia shoots him five times in the face, and then never speaks another word. Alicia’s refusal to talk, or give any kind of explanation, turns a domestic tragedy into something far grander, a mystery that captures the public imagination and casts Alicia into notoriety. The price of her art skyrockets, and she, the silent patient, is hidden away from the tabloids and spotlight at the Grove, a secure forensic unit in North London. Theo Faber is a criminal psychotherapist who has waited a long time for the opportunity to work with Alicia. His determination to get her to talk and unravel the mystery of why she shot her husband takes him down a twisting path into his own motivations—a search for the truth that threatens to consume him....

THE TOP TEN INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER Winner of the August Prize for Fiction Dazzlingly inventive, witty and mysterious: a writer pieces together the story of a young man's death in an exhilarating narrative puzzle reminiscent of the hit podcast Serial. A young man dies in a car crash - accident or suicide? An unnamed writer with an agenda of his own sets out to piece together Samuel's story. From friends, relatives and neighbours, a portrait emerges of a loving son, reluctant bureaucrat, contrived poser, loyal friend. But who was Samuel really, and what happened to him? In filling out the contours of his existence, the writer grasps at a fundamental question: how do we account for the substance of a life? 'My books of the year [include] Jonas Hassen Khemiri's enigmatic novel' Joyce Carol Oates Heartbreakingly sad and laugh-out-loud funny . . . Its chorus of drifters, romantics and cynics stick in the memory, each competing to tell their own truth' Hari Kunzru ​'Unforgettable. In this non-putdownable puzzle of a story, Khemiri manages to both thrill and break your heart' Gary Shteyngart 'Khemiri's audacious and richly drawn novel pushes the boundaries of literary fiction . . . Beneath the structural pyrotechnics lies a broader story of imposition, appropriation and lack of individual agency: that of the immigrant experience' Lucy Scholes, The National

A Novel

The New York Times bestselling author of The Last Train to London revisits the dark early days of the German occupation in France in this haunting novel--a love story and a tale of high-stakes danger and incomparable courage--about a young American heiress who helps artists hunted by the Nazis escape from war-torn Europe. Wealthy, beautiful Naneé was born with a spirit of adventure that transcends her Midwestern roots. For her, learning to fly is freedom. When German tanks roll across the border and into Paris, this woman with an adorable dog and a generous heart joins the resistance. Known as the Postmistress because she delivers information to those in hiding, Naneé uses her charms and skill to house the hunted and deliver them to safety. Inspired by the real life Chicago heiress Mary Jayne Gold, who worked with American journalist Varian Fry to smuggle artists and intellectuals out of France, Meg Waite Clayton has fashioned a sweeping tale of romance and danger, set in a world aflame with personal and political passion. The Postmistress of Paris is the haunting story of an indomitable woman whose strength, bravery, and love is a beacon of hope in a time of terror.

How to Navigate Tantrums, Meltdowns, and Defiance to Raise Emotionally Intelligent Children

From two early childhood experts, an essential guidebook that empowers parents to help their little ones navigate their big feelings--including tantrums, outbursts, and separation anxiety--while laying the groundwork for a lifetime of emotional intelligence. The Future is Emotionally Intelligent Childhood is filled with wonder--and also lots of tears. Scraped knees. Bruised egos. Tantrums. As children, we may have been taught to minimize or bury our emotions: Don't cry. It's not a big deal. Calm down. Though well intentioned, this parenting approach didn't give us any actual understanding of why we feel what we feel and how to handle big emotions. As parents ourselves, we can forget that three-year-olds can zip their own jackets so we do it for them, and yet we still expect them to manage strong emotions by themselves. As science expands our understanding of the developing brain, we know--now more than ever before--how important it is to raise emotionally intelligent children who are able to navigate all of the challenging feelings that come with childhood, and life. Early childhood experts Alyssa Campbell and Lauren Stauble are at the forefront of a parenting and education revolution to help foster this essential skillset with their proven Collaborative Emotion Processing (CEP) method. Designed for the tricky infant and toddler years when the tiniest humans have some of the biggest emotions, this innovative book shows parents how to handle their children's outbursts while empowering their children to recognize and manage difficult feelings like anger, sadness, and shame, as well as anxiety. It provides the tools to tackle every sort of stressful parenting moment, including: What to do when your child throws a tantrum (it's not what you think!) How to react when your child hits, punches, or bites How to regulate your child's nervous system in the moment How to anticipate and end meltdowns before they even begin Tiny Humans, Big Emotions is an empathetic, parent-friendly guide to cultivating self-regulation and empathy with your little one, setting the groundwork for a lifetime of emotional resilience and wellbeing.
