This has just come out in paperback and imagines the impact on the Shakespeare family, especially the parents of Hamnet's death aged 11. The famous playwright is present but only every referred to as tutor/lover/husband. I read this after I'd read an academic treatment of a similar subject, Shakespeare's Wife by Germaine Greer and the two books really complement each other.

This is a great series with a disrespectable anti-hero heading up a 'team' of failed MI5 operatives who've been relegated to desk jobs. Lots of humour and sometimes quite literary irony.

Invisible Women: Exposing Data Bias In a World Designed for Men

# data[].attributes.body
by Caroline Criado Perez

NON-FICTION but reads like fiction, a bit of a thriller/drama/horror/etc.

The book reveals how in a world largely built for and by men, we are systematically ignoring half the population, often with disastrous consequences. A must-read.

Invisible Women: Exposing Data Bias in a World Designed for Men by Caroline Criado Perez

*THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER*
' HELL YES. This is one of those books that has the potential to change things - a monumental piece of research' Caitlin Moran

Imagine a world where...

* Your phone is too big for your hand
* Your doctor prescribes a drug that is wrong for your body
* In a car accident you are 47% more likely to be injured.

If any of that sounds familiar, chances are you're a woman.

From government policy and medical research, to technology, workplaces, and the media. Invisible Women reveals how in a world built for and by men we are systematically ignoring half of the population, often with disastrous consequences. Caroline Criado Perez brings together for the first time an impressive range of case studies, stories and new research from across the world that illustrate the hidden ways in which women are forgotten, and the profound impact this has on us all.

Discover the shocking gender bias that affects our everyday lives.

Invisible Women Reviews

Revelatory - it should be required reading for policy and decision makers everywhere -- Nicola Sturgeon
HELL YES. This is one of those books that has the potential to change things - a monumental piece of research -- Caitlin Moran
Revelatory, frightening, hopeful. A secular Bible -- Jeanette Winterson
This book is a devastating indictment of institutionalised complacency and a rallying cry to fight back... Invisible Women should propel women into action. It should also be compulsory reading for men -- Christina Patterson * Sunday Times *
Invisible Women takes on the neglected topic of what we don't know - and why. The result is a powerful, important and eye-opening analysis of the gender politics of knowledge and ignorance. With examples from technology to natural disasters, this is an original and timely reminder of why we need women in the leadership of the institutions that shape every aspect of our lives. -- Cordelia Fine

Brought out the 4 year old in me.
Discovered the German proverb: "God gives the nuts but he [sic] doesn't crack them".
(Not really history despite what it says on the front cover.)

# data[].attributes.body
A disarmingly honest inside account of one detective's life in Northern Ireland battling, on the one hand, paramilitary groups, and on the other his corrupt and violent colleagues. No "AC-12" for support, no effective accountability mechanisms, yet he succeeded, all the more remarkably, in bringing leading terrorists to justice. Not for the faint hearted. Factual.

Caitlin Coyle: I wasn't sure where to put this one in the category lists but I have opted for here. I purchased this autobiography in Waverley train station as I had forgotten to bring the book I was reading at the time on my journey from Edinburgh to York (pre-Covid). I never normally reach for non-fiction wanting more escapism from my books but it was in the realism of this book that I found a lot of comfort:

'Time as far as my father was concerned, was a gift you gave to other people'

'Everyone on earth, they'd tell us, was carrying around an unseen history, and that alone deserved some tolerance'

Beautifully observed vignettes of small town life told from the perspective of a retired school teacher living in a small town in the state of Maine. Surprisingly moving. The follow up volume Olive Again is also wonderful - and sobering.

# data[].attributes.body
A classic, imagination rooted in reality. The prints are so typical of the woodcuts used to illustrate Scottish primary school picture books so a real sense of deja vu

No blood, no gore, just plain psychological terror at its very best.    It has been said that 'nothing scares you like your own imagination', unless of course, your in someone else's!

Absolutely loved the themes in this, just took me back to the 80s, obsession with Hacienda, new wave and indie music, all wonderfully set in the Harshness of the Thatcher years. Some of it is lol but it keeps a tight grip on serious themes such as family relationships and friendship, all the way through.  Janine McNair
