Barbara Erskine is a firm favourite with our Book-ish community so join us for cake and a cup of tea or coffee to discuss her new historical mystery, The Valley of Ravens at St Mary’s Priory in Abergavenny. After recently celebrating the 40th anniversary of her first book ‘The Lady of Hay’ (which has sold more than three million copies worldwide and has never been out of print!) Barbara is back with her eighteenth novel, The Valley of Ravens! About The Valley of Ravens In the depths of the valley, two women, centuries apart, are bound by fate… Eve, desperate for a fresh start, arrives in the Valley of Ravens to restore a long-abandoned cottage. Everyone knows the place is cursed. Why else would it be called The Witch’s House? As Eve begins her renovations it becomes clear the place has a secret waiting to be uncovered, if only she can make the connection with the past. Wales, 1260 Alys, a healer living in the depths of the valley, discovers Llewelyn – last true Prince of Wales – lying wounded on the battlefield. She tends him and her fate is forever bound to his. Her vow to keep his final secret will echo through the centuries… Praise for Barbara Erskine: ‘Barbara Erskine is one of my favourite writers’ Santa Montefiore ‘Barbara Erskine’s storytelling talent is undeniable’ The Times ‘Barbara Erskine is the Grande Dame of the time-slip novel’ Peter James ‘Beautifully written and vividly evoking the magic of lost worlds’ Alison Weir

An evening with ... Robin Ince

We are excited to welcome Robin Ince back to Book-ish with his brand new book! About Robin Ince For over thirty years, award-winning broadcaster and comedian Robin Ince has entertained thousands in person and on air. But underneath the surface, a whirlwind was at play – a struggle with sadness, concentration, self-doubt and near-constant anxiety. But then he discovered he had all the hallmarks of ADHD, and his stumbling blocks became stepping stones. About Normally Weird and Weirdly Normal: My Adventures in Neurodiversity What if being a bit weird is actually entirely normal? What if sharing our internal struggles wasn’t a sign of weakness, but of strength? In Normally Weird and Weirdly Normal, Robin uses his own life to explore the neurodivergent experience and to ask what the point of ‘being normal’ really is. Packed with personal insights, intimate anecdotes and interviews with psychologists, neuroscientists and many neurodivergent people he has met along the way, this is a quirky and witty dive into the world of human behaviour. ‘This is a comforting hug of a book. Insightful, warm, funny and compassionate, it will make readers, whether neurotypical or neurodivergent, feel less alone’ – Laura Bates, bestselling author of Everyday Sexism‘Weirdness is inescapable, and no one does it better than Robin Ince. A superb book, celebrating the needed weirdness in us all’ – Chris Hadfield, astronaut and five-time bestselling author Event Format: Author talk followed by audience...

An evening with ... Ben Giles

Perfect for fans of true crime and unusual professional confessionals! About Ben Giles Ben Giles has spent thirty years cleaning what most people can’t bear to imagine. Dead bodies decomposing for weeks. Kitchen floors painted with blood. Hoarders’ homes where the filth tells stories of unimaginable loneliness. A whale carcass lodged on a cargo ship. This is the Britain you never see – until someone needs to make it disappear. Starting with nothing but a bucket of Dettol and a can-do attitude, Giles built the UK’s leading biohazard cleaning network. From industrial spillages to animal remains, he’s faced horrors that would break most people – and taught hundreds of people to do the same, in full hazmat gear. Yet threaded through the gore and dark humour is something unexpected: profound compassion for the lives interrupted, the families destroyed, and the deaths that society prefers to forget. About The Specialist – How to clean a crime scene and other messes Ben shares firsthand accounts of his most harrowing and bizarre experiences, offering readers an insider’s look at a profession that few understand. Blending dark humour with poignant reflections, Ben’s relatable anecdotes and candid confessions provide a refreshing take on the true crime genre. Beyond the gruesome details, Ben imparts valuable lessons on resilience, entrepreneurship, and the importance of tackling life’s messes, both literal and metaphorical.
