ANDREA GILLIES KEEPERA book about memory, identity, isolation, Wordsworth and cake...

Can our personalities be taken away from us? Are we more than

just a sum of our memories? What exactly is the soul?

Three years ago, Andrea Gillies, a writer and mother of three,

took on the care of her mother-in-law Nancy, who was in the

middle stages of Alzheimer’s disease. This newly extended family

moved to a big Victorian house on a headland in the far, far north

of Scotland, where the author failed to write a novel and Nancy,

her disease accelerated by change, began to move out of the

rational world and into dementia’s alternative reality.

This book is a journal of life in this wild location, in which

Gillies tracks Nancy’s unravelling grasp on everything that we

think of as ordinary, and interweaves her own brilliantly cogent

investigations into the way Alzheimer’s works. For the family at

the centre of this drama, the learning curve was steeper and more

interesting than anyone could have imagined.

Andrea Gillies lives in St Andrews with her family and is now writing a novel. Keeper won the inaugural Wellcome Trust Book Prize 2009 – an award set up to honour science writing in popular literature.

JEREmy KEELING

JEREMY & AMYOne man and his orang-utan

Jeremy Keeling first met Amy, an abandoned orang-utan, when he

was looking after the private menagerie of music impresario Gordon

Mills. Amy had been born to an orang-utan with no maternal instincts

and Jeremy, feeling a connection with the rejected primate, hand-

reared her. A friendship was forged that would become the defining

relationship of both their lives.

One day in 1984, when Jeremy was driving along with one-year-

old Amy sitting beside him in the passenger seat, he fell asleep at the

wheel and caused a horrific car crash. The first policemen on the scene

were staggered to see amidst the wreckage of the upturned car, a hairy,

non-human hand cradling Jeremy’s head, keeping it clear of the glass

and twisted metal: Amy had saved his life.

For Jeremy, it was to be a long convalescence, but three years

later he finally found a way of repaying his debt to Amy, when he met

Jim Cronin, a tough-talking primate-lover from the Bronx, who shared

his vision of creating a sanctuary for abused and abandoned monkeys.

Pooling their meagre resources the two men took on a derelict pig

farm in Dorset and over the next twenty years, slowly transformed it into

a 65-acre, cage-less sanctuary for beleaguered primates, rescued from

poachers and scientists on daring raids all over the world. Monkey World

is now internationally famous and attracts some 800,000 visitors a year.

This book is a story of high-wire adventure, of grit and determination

and at its heart an inspiring and life-changing friendship between one

man and his ape.

Jeremy Keeling is the Animal Director and

co-founder of Monkey World in Dorset.

Jeremy & Amy is the first book to tell the story behind Monkey World, which has 800,000 visitors a year. The park has a database of 30,000 adoptive parents and the television series, Monkey Life, is shown in 87 countries. It has run for 12 years – first on ITV, more recently on Channel Five – during which time Jeremy has become a cult hero around the world.

DEBORAH HUTTON

WHAT CAN I DO TO HELP?75 practical ideas for family and friends from cancer’s frontline

Deborah Hutton’s discovery that the niggling cough which had

been troubling her for a couple of months was actually an aggressive

lung cancer marked the beginning of a brand-new learning curve – a

personal odyssey that taught her to let go of her super-competent

I-can-handle-it-myself persona and gratefully accept the huge amount

of help beamed at her by her close-knit family and “world class”

network of friends and neighbours.

From her own experience and out of her conversations with fellow

members of the “Cancer Club” comes this anthology of supremely

practical examples of ways in which friends and family, often themselves

reeling from the shock of the diagnosis and feeling just as helpless and

at a loss to know what to do, can make a real, substantial difference.

“What can I do to help?” you ask. Well, stand by, because the answer

is “Plenty”.

Deborah Huttton was a journalist

for 25 years, writing for most of the

country’s major glossy magazines and

newspapers – from Vogue, Elle, Marie Claire and the Mail on Sunday’s You magazine to The Observer, The Guardian

and The Sunday Times.This was her sixth

book. She lived in north London with her

husband, photographer and director,

Charlie Stebbings, and their four children,

Archie, Romilly, Clemmie and Freddie.

JOHN O’CONNELL

WELCOME TO MID-LIFE

If you’ve answered ‘yes’ to more than half of the questions at the

front of this catalogue, then congratulations, you are officially

experiencing midlife, that is, the autumn years – the beginning of the end.

Middle age is in many ways crueller than old age. It strikes while

your faculties are intact. You know time is running out, but there’s

still so much to do, so much clutter to sort through. You’re exhausted

from the effort of managing relationships, bringing up children,

holding down a job etc, yet you still have ambitions...Do not despair! Covering everything from Boden and Blogging,

Dinner Parties and Divorce, to Radio 4, Rye Bread and Ikea,

Welcome to Mid-life is your very own guide to getting through the

middle years more gracefully. Its aim is to make you feel less alone

during this testing time. It will make you laugh. It may at times even

be genuinely helpful.

John O’Connell worked for years – far, far

too long – at the London listings magazine

Time Out, where he was Books Editor. Since

being made redundant on the grounds that

‘no-one really reads books anymore’, he has

been writing, mostly about books, for The Times, The Guardian, New Statesman and The National. He is the author of I Told You I Was Ill: Adventures in Hypochondria (Short Books,

2005). He is 37 and lives in south London

with his wife and two children.

SImON BARNES

A BOOK OF HEROESOR A SpORTING HALf CENTURy

Everyone’s life will have been touched by a moment of

sporting heroism. Whether it was Ellen MacArthur’s

triumphant finish off the French coast in 2005, or Bobby

Charlton’s long-range goal that transformed England’s

fortunes against Mexico in 1966, we have all witnessed heroic

acts – or indeed moments of epic failure and pain – that have

changed our mortal world, and have lifted us, even if only

briefly, out of ourselves.

In this gripping new book, Simon Barnes brings

together his 50 sporting heroes of the last 50 years and

looks at what it is that elevates them to a state of grace and

greatness. The world of sport is filled with record breakers and

medal winners, individuals who have in their way excelled.

What Barnes does here is to identify that extra element, that

special alchemy that sets these 40 men, 7 women (and 3

horses) apart and places them in their own race – the race

of heroes.

Simon Barnes is the multi-award-

winning chief sportswriter for The Times. He is also a novelist, nature

writer and horseman, and the author

of a dozen books, including the

bestselling How to be a Bad Birdwatcher and The Meaning of Sport (Short Books). He lives in

Suffolk with his family.

TIm WILLIS

NIGEL DEMPSTER & THE DEATH OF DISCRETIONThe life and legacy of the world’s greatest gossip

If there is any one person responsible for the birth of celebrity culture, it is the

late, great gossip columnist Nigel Patton Dempster (1941-2007).

From the early sixties to the mid-eighties as the editor of “Dempster’s Diary”

on the Daily Mail, Dempster was the man perfectly placed and qualified to record

– and accelerate – the end of the age of deference. For many years, for many

people, Dempster was the Daily Mail. His diary, with its scurrilous revelations

about the great, the good, and the not-so-good, was the only page to read.

In his kipper ties and natty blazers, he brought a raffish sparkle to a dull

decade, exposing the infidelities of Harold Pinter and Lady Antonia Fraser or

James Goldsmith and Annabel Birley, paying tipsters like the bouffant Lord Lichfield

with crates of champagne, and sometimes breaking stories of national importance

– the collapse of Princess Margaret’s marriage, the resignation of Harold Wilson.

But, for all his convivial charm, his canny ability to infiltrate the smart set,

Dempster led a rather strange, lonely life, marred by broken relationships and

an on-off battle with drinking. In this riveting book, Tim Willis charts Dempster’s

bibulous journey through old Fleet Street and society as a tragi-comic romp.

In so doing, he provides a portrait of an age.

Tim Willis is a freelance writer

and editor. He has worked for

most of Britain’s national

newspapers and some of its

glossier magazines. He is the

author of Madcap: The half-life of Syd Barret (Short Books,

2002) and Torn Apart (Short

Books, 2005)

Biography7th October304pp £16.99Royal hardback978-1-906021-84-9World rights: Short Books

Nigel Dempster was a saint neither in public nor private. But he was a phenomenon, of a type now extinct. And through his eyes we can view the world – long swept away – that he broached, moved in and reported on. Here, titles commanded respect, white tie was worn at balls and drinking and driving was as much a challenge as a crime. The indiscretions of the Royal Family could not be noised abroad without damaging national stability. And the lower orders were kept behind the green baize door – until Dempster threw it open.

CRIMSON CHINA

On a freezing night in February, a woman wades into the

waters of Morecambe Bay in a drunken bid to commit

suicide. Braced for death, she finds herself instead saving

a man’s life – a young Chinese cockle picker, one of the only

survivors of a tragic mass drowning. For Wen – now missing,

presumed dead – Angie provides an unexpected sanctuary.

They share neither language nor experience, but she agrees

to let him stay with her and ‘disappear’. Within a short time

their unlikely pairing blossoms into something darkly

passionate.

But Wen’s past soon catches up with him. He is still in debt

to the snakeheads who brought him out of China. And when

his sister, Lili, travels to Britain in search of his memory, she

unwittingly seals his fate. Crimson China is a novel that traps

the reader at the outset, shining a light on a tragic, hidden

world that runs in parallel to our own. It is a story of identity

and culture, of the irrepressibility of the human spirit, and the

powerful undertow of love.

Betsy Tobin was born

in the American Midwest

and moved to England in

1989. She is the author of

three other novels, Bone House, The Bounce and Ice Land. She lives in London

with her husband and four

children.

He glances over at her. Her shoulder length brown hair is matted with wet against the sides of her face, and there are dark circles under her eyes. He is uncertain of her age. Not young, he decides. Thirty? Forty? He finds it impossible to judge with foreigners. Her clothes are ordinary enough: jeans, a long-sleeved t-shirt, and a dark green pullover that now smells of wet wool. The enormous coat she was wearing lies in a sodden ball on the floor of the back seat. It was the coat he noticed first when she dragged him from the water: made of heavy black wool, it stretched down below her knees and was buttoned up to the neck. No one in their right mind would attempt to rescue a drowning man in such a coat...
