Products to help you be your best self
Diane personally selects all our fabulous books based on their ability to thrill, inform, entertain and fulfil. We focus on fiction and non-fiction by and about strong women, inclusivity and conservation on both the adult and children’s side of the store. We pride ourselves in being the first to stock the best new titles for you to add to your collection.
Whenever we can, we get hold of special editions, too – signed and with sprayed edges if possible. DO choose a book by its cover!
She also puts together what we’ve been told is one of the UK’s best ranges of the oh-so-cute and collectable Maileg Mice and selects our radical range of feminist T-shirts, too.

BOOK OF THE MONTH
Catherine: A Retelling of Wuthering Heights by Essie Fox
The greatest tragic love story ever told – but this time, Catherine tells it herself. With a nature as wild as the moors she loves to roam, Catherine Earnshaw grows up alongside Heathcliff, a foundling her father rescued from the streets of Liverpool. Their fierce, untamed bond deepens as they grow – until Mr Earnshaw’s death leaves Hindley, Catherine’s brutal brother, in control and Heathcliff reduced to servitude. Desperate to protect him, Catherine turns to Edgar Linton, the handsome heir to Thrushcross Grange. She believes his wealth might free Heathcliff from cruelty – but her choice is fatally misunderstood, and their lives spiral into a storm of passion, jealousy and revenge. Now, eighteen years later, Catherine rises from her grave to tell her story – and seek redemption.
Essie Fox’s Catherine reimagines Wuthering Heights with beauty and intensity – a haunting, atmospheric retelling that brings new life to a timeless classic and lays bare the dark heart of an immortal love.
