Distributors & Representatives 64 Beads of water sparkled on their brown backs. Even from behind her sunglasses, Janet’s eyes winced at the brightness of their silvery-brown skin. Then her eyes were drawn to the wobbling water that lassoed the sun into strange rings and coils. And there, beneath it all, was the crack.

For a moment, she thought that there was no crack. Surely if there were a crack, the water level would have dipped. Surely, she would have noticed if the water level had dipped. Or Solomon would have said something about the water level dropping. Nothing had been said or noticed. Until now.

She stood there. Her three little silver darlings shivered in the heat and murmured to one side. She slid her sunglasses onto the top of her head. She stood over the pool, leaning out as far as she dared. Still the water looped and coiled the glinting light. It would take time for the waves to settle.

But she had time.

Of that commodity she had an abundance.

Always that sense of time on her hands. As though time were some sticky substance that clung to her fingers and had to be carefully scoured off. Rubbed off with care and Sunlight soap so that it did not stick under her wedding ring or catch in the gap between the white gold of that ring and its little neighbour – the more recent eternity ring presented to her by Hektor-Jan after the birth of their third child, precious little Sylvia. Well done, said the ring. Well done on securing the next generation of white South African children, but enough, now, no more. The future is safe as the eternal circle of the ring suggests, but enough, too, as the white gold zero urgently implies. For ever and now. It felt strange accepting, for a second time, such a ring from such a man. Everything and nothing. New Fiction 3

Gentle but highly strung, Janet must support her Afrikaner husband in his new job as a plain-clothes policeman and specialist interrogator. Hektor-Jan heads off to work on New Year’s Day, aware that he is unbearably close to a bloody drama about to unfold.

Martin Harbottle’s Appreciation of Time Dominic Utton

The very funny story of one man’s attempt to get even with The Man

Dan’s got a new job, working for a scandalous tabloid. But he’s moved out of town in order to start a family and has to begin commuting into London every day. After fourteen months of the trains either making him late for work or late getting home, he’s had enough. Having tracked down the email address of the MD of the train company, Martin Harbottle, he starts to write him letters. Emails that take as long to read as the delay to his journey. If his time’s been wasted, why shouldn’t he waste Martin’s?

It turns out Dan has plenty of time to fill and a lot to say: his work for the troubled paper, his marriage and the struggle to adjust to new parenthood, his forthright opinions on everything find their way into his letters. And when Martin starts to respond, a hilarious and extraordinary correspondence begins.

Dominic Utton is a journalist and author of fifteen UK & ROW 9 Jan 2014 years’ experience. After going freelance from the Daily USA & CAN 18 Mar 2014 and Sunday Express in 2001 he has written for newspapers Paperback £8.99/$15.99 including the Guardian, Sunday Times, Daily Mail, and B format (198mm×129mm) Mirror, as well as magazines including Cosmopolitan, 352pp Elle, Maxim, Zoo, and many more.

My sole regular fellow traveller on the night shift home. He’s an odd one, is Overkeen Estate Agent. I only ever see him when I’m on these later trains – and he always seems to have come straight from work. The shiny suit, the tie in a fat footballer’s knot. (What is that knot? Like a quadruple-Windsor, far too big for any shirt collar, squatting there at the neck like a fat silk Buddha. Who decided that was a good look? And when did we start taking sartorial direction from footballers anyway?) He’s always on the phone (a white iPhone – and that in itself speaks volumes. He chose the white model. He looked at the black version and said: No. I want a white one. I am male, I appear to be heterosexual… and yet still, despite all that, I’d prefer the white iPhone. That’s the sort of person I am) and he’s always saying things like: ‘We need to drill this down’, and ‘Let’s get that actioned asap’. He uses words like ‘diarise’ and ‘bro’ and ‘PDQ’. He calls people ‘legends’. He’s about 14 years old. I’m simultaneously repulsed and fascinated by him. But, to be fair to him, he rarely seems bothered by the train delays. He just keeps talking nonsense into his white iPhone and staring at his reflection in the window. 6 Fiction New

In Between Dreams Iman Verjee

A tale of a taboo love affair and its inescapable consequences

Growing up in a sleepy town with parents who seem to adore her, it’s difficult to understand why Frances is the way she is. Strange, manipulating, and at times cruel, she is a mystery to Marienne, her bewildered mother. But, on closer inspection, hiding beyond the white picket fence and cherry-blossom tree that umbrellas their cosy life, something dark lies heavy on both Frances and her father.

Following a disastrous sixteenth birthday party and a grandmother found dead in the bathtub, Frances is sent away to boarding school. The Academy is a place rife with teenage rivalry, secret rendezvous, and budding friendships. And it’s here - alone for the first time - that Frances is forced to confront the true nature of her life.

Intertwined with Frances’ narrative is that of her father James. Between them we discover a story about a young girl entering adulthood under the smoky weight of a terrible secret; of a life stolen and rediscovered and above all, the tale of a tainted love affair and the fluid, easily traversed boundary between perversity and normality.

Iman Verjee won the 2012 Peters Fraser & Dunlop/ UK & ROW 3 Apr 2014 City University Prize for Fiction for her debut novel In USA & CAN 13 May 2014 Between Dreams, which she wrote whilst completing Hardback £12.99/$19.99 an MA in Creative Writing at City University.

She now lives in Nairobi, Kenya. eISBN: 978-1-78074-397-4 ‘They all say I’m strange. And they made her believe it too.’ Here, I stop myself. I cannot tell him what really happened. A quick memory of that hazy afternoon flashes through my mind and I blink it away. I turn in his arms and this time, he lets me. He rests his chin on top of my head. ‘When did this happen?’ ‘I can’t remember,’ I answer. ‘It’s been a while, I guess.’ ‘You know it’s not true, right?’ His hand runs under my hair and rubs in slow circles down my back. ‘You know how lovely you are.’ ‘Then how come you didn’t defend me today?’ I look up at him, pushing against his chest. ‘You just stood there and let her shout at me.’ He doesn’t answer. Instead, that familiar, agonizing look comes across his face and his fingers slip into mine. The pillow beneath me falls silently to the floor and the events of the day become insignificant. I feel the roughness of the sheets tangling around my feet, the slick heaviness against my skin that I missed all day. The long sighs of the night, so close and loving in my ear, fill my heart with blood and happiness. I see, from the corner of my eye, the luminous glow of my fake galaxy above us; watch as it expands and blurs, finally bursting into infinite space. Nothing more needs to be said. When it’s time for him to leave, he kisses my nose lightly. His bare feet hit the floor with hardly a sound. ‘Goodnight, darling,’ and the door closes just as silently behind him. I roll into the warm valley his body has made in the mattress, and miss him so much, it hurts everywhere. Not long after settling into her own, small corner of the city, Rebecca met a young man called George. He was very lost and lived alone. She had seen him strolling through the square outside Monastiraki Station – close to the narrow entrance to the flea markets, where she liked to sit and watch people. He was always overdressed, not only for the climate but for his age. Street children followed him in cheap clogs playing toy accordions, pulling at his jacket and jumping in front of him. He was perturbed by them, but never unkind – like some uncle with a great many nephews and nieces whom he loves but hardly knows. He looked the sort of man who had read all of Marcel Proust in bed. The sort who wanted to get up early but chronically overslept. And he walked slowly, hunched into a cigarette. New Fiction 9

Wretched Tryal The Untold History of a Slave Rebellion in the Age of Liberty Greg Grandin

A Captain Ahab of the slave trade provokes his demons, in a landmark book by one of today’s most original and highly acclaimed historians

One morning in 1805, off a remote island in the South Pacific, seal hunter and abolitionist Captain Amasa Delano climbed aboard the Tryal, a distressed Spanish slaver. He spent all day on the ship, sharing food and water, yet failed to see that the slaves, having slaughtered most of the crew, were now their own masters.

Armed with two pistols and a musket he kept in his quarters, he moved into the passageway between his cabin and the main cargo hold, where the hatch ladder descended. He stayed there through the night, keeping the West Africans from either climbing down the ladder or coming through the hold’s bulkhead door. The standoff ended at dawn, when Babo ordered three prisoners be brought to him. Without giving the Spanish captain an ultimatum, he ordered them to be thrown overboard, bound but not gagged, so their screams could be heard. Cerreño surrendered.

When he’d gone below to sleep the night before, the slaves, if Cerreño noticed them, had been heaped around the mainsail. Now he came out into the morning light of a different world: everywhere Cerreño looked, there were West Africans, armed and in charge.

Mori spoke Spanish and he interpreted for his father, Babo. One of the first things the West African asked Cerreño was if there were any ‘lands of black people in these seas where they could be taken’.

No, Cerreño said.

He was lying. Readers whose image of Anne has been shaped by the recent media depictions and novels may be surprised at the variety of ‘Annes’ who have strutted through history; I know I was. My annoyance with popular stereotypes was one reason why I started this book; I expected it to be a critical exposé of how thoroughly maligned and mishandled she has been throughout the centuries. But the truth is not so simple. Anne has been less the perpetual victim of the same old sexist stereotyping than she has been a shape- shifting trickster whose very incompleteness in the historical record has stirred the imaginations of different agendas, different generations, and different cultural moments to lay claim to their “own” Boleyn. In cutting her life so short and then ruthlessly disposing of the body of evidence of her “real” existence, Henry made it possible for her to live a hundred different lives, forever.

A History of London in 100 Places David Long

From Roman Londinium to the seething modern metropolis of today, journey through 2,000 years of the world’s most vibrant capital

One of London’s most prominent and most conspicuous curiosities – but one that few people seem to notice – the large spike on London Bridge is a fascinating reminder of a particularly grisly part of London’s history. Though entirely modern, it marks the place at which, for more than 300 years, the heads of traitors and other unlucky criminals were displayed on spikes at the bridge’s southern end.

This grim but popular practice was not a Tudor invention: the head of William Wallace was displayed in this way back in 1305 after being boiled and dipped in pitch to preserve it. But many of the best known victims were those who fell foul of the Tudor authorities, including Thomas More and Bishop Fisher in 1535 and Thomas Cromwell in 1540. Two years later their decapitated heads were joined by those of Francis Dereham and Thomas Culpeper, the lovers of Catherine Howard. Travelling by barge to her own execution, she would have seen both of them as she passed under the bridge en route to the Tower.

In 1598 a German visitor to the city, Paul Hentzner, was able to count more than 30 heads which were still in place – when finally they rotted and fell off most were just thrown into the river – and the tradition continued until the Restoration. 28 Fictionnnon-Fictionon-Fiction | History New

The Forbidden Game Golf and China’s Hypercapitalist Dream Dan Washburn

In China, just because something is banned, doesn’t mean it can’t boom

Statistically, zero percent of the Chinese population plays golf, still known as the ‘rich man’s game’. Yet China is in the midst of a golf boom – hundreds of new courses have opened in the past decade, despite it being illegal to build them.

Award-winning journalist Dan Washburn charts China’s economic and political fortunes through the lives of three men intimately involved in the country’s bizarre golf scene. We meet Zhou, a peasant turned golf pro who discovered the game when he won a job as a security guard; Wang, a lychee farmer whose land is confiscated for an ‘ecological park’; and Bill, a Western executive manoeuvring through China’s bureaucracy, ever watchful for Beijing’s ‘golf police’.

He says everything he does is wrong and that he is very miserable.’ Notes like these are familiar to me. As a psychiatrist, I have seen countless patients in emergency rooms, inpatient units, and outpatient offices whom I might have described in nearly identical terms. This patient’s symptoms are not striking; however, the familiarity of the description is, considering that Charles Harold Wrigley was evaluated and treated at England’s Bethlem Royal Hospital in 1890. Before I became a doctor, I had more faith in medicine. I thought that medical school and residency would teach me the body’s intricacies, its capacities to heal and to falter, and all of our various methods of intervening. Once I mastered these, I thought, I would really know something. That has turned out to be partially true. I know many more things about the body – its wonders and its failings – than I could ever have imagined. But as a doctor, I have emerged from my training with a shaken faith. If I hold my trust in medicine up to the light, I see that it is full of cracks and seams. In some places it is luminous. In others it is opaque. And yet I practise. My faith in medical knowledge has shifted into a faith that the effort – the practice – of medicine is worthwhile. I cannot always say with certainty whether the course of treatment I prescribe will heal; I cannot always locate with precision the source of my patients’ symptoms and suffering. Still, I believe that trying is a worthwhile pursuit. I have found that one of the gifts of medicine is that it allows those who practise it to participate in the purest and most vulnerable moments of human life. ‘Slow-Wave’ (SW) sleep is a deep, nearly inaccessible slumber that is characterized by slow, high amplitude, synchronized brain waves. It appears to be the oldest, most restorative form of sleep, regenerating tissues, building bones and muscles, and strengthening immunity, all of which are facilitated by the release of growth hormones and a reduction in cortisol levels. SW sleep also burns fat and maintains cardiovascular health, which explains why sleep deprivation contributes to the development of obesity and heart problems.

Curiously, the amount of Slow Wave sleep we get decreases dramatically over the lifespan. While SW sleep constitutes nearly 20 percent of our nightly slumber in young adulthood, it’s only three percent by midlife. Up to one quarter of 50-year-olds have no slow wave sleep, and this percentage increases with age. Since growth hormones are secreted only during SW sleep, a reduction in deep sleep also lowers the levels of these hormones. The combination can account for many features of the ageing process. It would not be exaggerating to say that SW sleep is critical to our nightly restoration and healthy ageing... New Psychology/Gift | non-FictionFiction 51

The Secret Life of Sleep Kat Duff

A fascinating exploration of the most universal and mysterious of human activities

What makes us cross the line from waking to slumber? According to Harvard scientists it’s our ‘sleep switch’ – a cluster of neurons in the hypothalamus. For the ancient Greeks it was the god Hypnos, caressing you with his wings. For the Blackfeet Indians, a butterfly. And in European children’s tales, the Sandman, sprinkling you with dust.

Why do we sleep? What happens in our brains when we sleep? Why are sleep patterns in modern Western industrialised countries so unhealthy? Is the boundary between sleep and wakefulness as clear cut as we might have supposed? How meaningful are dreams? Kat Duff brings insights from her own life, from the latest in sleep science, the paintings of Salvidor Dali, the musings of Michel de Montaigne, and wisdom and rituals from around the world and the past to paint a fascinating picture of a world that is both the most intimate and the most secret to us: sleep.

Teenage cliques, football squads, jihadist cells, army units, Arab Spring protestors, polar expeditions – on the face of it, the dedication of these groups might seem exceptional, but the forces that bind and drive them are accessible to all of us.

It’s a wise father that knows his own child; it was the perfect gift for me, for I was a night owl that read in bed until dawn with a flashlight. I skipped the sonnets and plunged into the plays, especially the tragedies. At nine I was a stony-hearted kid with no sense of humour who disliked happy endings; given a choice I preferred blood to comedy. My childhood was the winter of my discontent. I was not a bad reader, yet I could hardly follow the plots in my leather- bound book: too many people behaved erratically; too many nobles were murdered at the crack of doom; there were too many turns of giddy Fortune’s furious fickle wheel, not to mention an abundance of cross-dressers which placed the gender of all characters under suspicion. Shakespeare sounded like the Chilean radio soap operas, in which everybody suffered the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune and eventually ended up dead. I sensed there was madness, yet there was method in it. So I drew and cut out the characters in cardboard, glued them to matchsticks, and moved them about to act out the plays. The characters had seen better days by the time they appeared on my miniature stage, but they served my purpose. Once I unravelled the plots, I surrendered completely to Shakespeare’s madness and genius.’ – Isabel Allende New Literature | non-FictionFiction 55

Wakako Kai, a new mother of a baby girl, recalls: ‘My husband and mother-in-law took me to a shrine and prayed for my safe delivery. They bought my haraobi at the shrine. The haraobi is traditionally bought at a shrine since it is believed to hold spiritual significance. It is the job of the mother of the pregnant daughter to buy it, but in my case my mother is living far from where I live.’

Unlike other sashes worn in Japan, the haraobi is worn under the kimono, next to the skin. A strip of cotton or silk about six feet long and seven inches wide, it is typically red or white – auspicious colours. Traditionally, the sash was adorned with images of dogs, because it was believed that dogs gave birth easily. Women usually begin wearing the haraobi after the fifth month of pregnancy, when they have felt the first ‘quickening’ or stirrings of the baby. For this reason, it has been a marker that the time of greatest risk of losing the baby has passed.

The sash is wrapped three times around the woman by relatives or her midwife, making it a ritual shared by those supporting the mother. It is said that the haraobi helps to hold the spirit of the child in place.

Like sashes worn in many countries, the haraobi also serves a practical end: to provide back support, comfort and warmth. ‘Although this is an ancient tradition, maternity clothing and underwear manufacturers have invented many good pregnancy sashes that suit the modern lifestyle,’ Wakako explains. ‘Many pregnant women put their ceremonial haraobi in a drawer and wear a modern one instead!’ 58 Fictionnon-Fiction | History/Religion New Editions
