This copy was left in Truro for a very lucky finder!

About the book… 📖

Glimpses into other people’s lives are rarely what they seem - but offered the chance to journey awhile with someone, is it ever possible to figure out who they really are?
Step aboard and accompany an array of characters over the course of a year as they travel by train through changing landscapes and seasons, each carrying their own dreams, desires and secrets.
Whether travelling to reunions or conferences, visiting family or friends, or even manufacturing their own dangerous liaisons, each has something to hide, and something to prove.
Hurtling on to their final destinations, their paths twist and collide, shattering carefully constructed facades to reveal their inner lives and intricate lies. When catastrophe strikes, will anyone emerge?

This book fairy is sharing a copy of Ten Trips by Andy Mitchell! Who will be lucky enough to find
this book?

About the book:
Psychedelics have made a comeback but remain a mystery. They are now a ‘breakthrough
therapy’ for mental illness but in truth we have only a vague idea how they work and there is a
limit to what the science can reveal. T o have any hope of understanding them, we must broaden
our view - dramatically - of what they actually are.
In this daring, perception-shifting odyssey, clinical neuropsychologist Andy Mitchell takes ten
different drugs in ten different settings, journeying from a London neuroimaging lab to the
Colombian Amazon via Silicon Valley and his friend’s basement kitchen. His encounters with
scientists and gangsters, venture capitalists and con men, psychonauts and shamans, as well
as with the drugs themselves, reveal the reality of psychedelics in all their strangeness, hilarity,
darkness and wonder.

“Jazmín Caldera reached out his hand for the fine lacquered cup, into
which a woman had poured chocolate frothed in water with honey,
chile and vanilla, and breathed in the scent as deeply as he could.”

The Book Fairies are sharing copies of You Dreamed of Empires by
Alvaro Enrigue. Who will be lucky enough to find this copy?

About the book:
One morning in 1519, conquistador Hernán Cortés rode into the floating
city of Tenoxtitlan – today’s Mexico City – accompanied by his eight
captains, his troops, and his two translators.
Invited to a ceremonial meal with the steely princess Atotoxtli, sister and
wife of the emperor Moctezuma, the Spanish nearly bungle their
entrance into the city and its labyrinthine palace. Soon, one of Cortés’s
captains, Jazmín Caldera, begins to question the ease with which they
were welcomed, and wonders at the risks of getting out alive, much less
conquering the empire.
Moctezuma himself is at a political, spiritual and physical crossroads,
relying on hallucinogens in a quest for any kind of answer from the gods.
When Cortés and Moctezuma meet later that day, two worlds, empires,
languages and possible futures collide.

“where the people of this tightly locked train of hell were transformed into animals.”

The Book Fairies are sharing copies of Cold Crematorium by József
Debreczeni. Who will be lucky enough to find this copy?

About the book:
When József Debreczeni arrived in Auschwitz in 1944, had he been
selected to go ‘left’, his life expectancy would have been approximately
forty-five minutes. One of the ‘lucky’ ones, he was sent to the ‘right’,
which led to twelve horrifying months of incarceration and slave labour
in a series of camps, ending in the ‘Cold Crematorium’ - the so-called
hospital of the forced labour camp Dörnhau, where prisoners too weak
to work were left to die.
Debreczeni beat the odds and survived. Very soon he committed his
experiences to paper in Cold Crematorium, one of the harshest and
powerful indictments of Na**sm ever written. This haunting memoir,
rendered in the precise and unsentimental prose of an accomplished
journalist, compels the reader to imagine human beings in
circumstances impossible to comprehend intellectually.
First published in Hungarian in 1950, it was never translated due to the
rise of McCarthyism, Cold War hostilities and antisemitism. This
important eyewitness account that was nearly lost to time will be
available in fifteen languages, finally taking its rightful place among the
great works of Holocaust literature more than seventy years after it was
first published.

“Gorbachev will pay for his sins! I can’t stand the
sight of his pig’s mug!”

The Book Fairies are sharing copies of The Picnic by Matthew Longo.
Who will be lucky enough to find this copy?

About the book:
In August 1989, a group of Hungarian activists did the unthinkable: they
entered the forbidden militarised zone of the Iron Curtain - and held a
picnic.
Word had spread of what was going to happen. On wisps of rumour,
thousands of East German ‘holiday-makers’ had made their way to the
border between Hungary and Austria, awaiting an opportunity, fearing
prison, surveilled by lurking Stasi agents. The stage was set for the
greatest border breach in Cold War history: that day hundreds would
cross from the Communist East to the longed-for freedom of the West.
The fall of the Berlin Wall, the end of the Soviet Union - the so-called
end of history - all would flow from those dramatic hours.
Drawing on dozens of original interviews with those involved - activists
and border guards, escapees and secret police, as well as the last
Communist prime minister of Hungary - Matthew Longo reconstructs this
world-shaping event and its tumultuous aftermath. Freedom had been
won but parents had been abandoned and families divided. Love affairs
faltered and new lives had to be built from scratch.
The Picnic is the story of a moment when the tide of history turned. It
shows how freedom can be both dream and disillusionment, and how all
we take for granted can vanish in an instant.

The Book Fairies are sharing copies of Change by Édouard Louis.

Who will be lucky enough to find this copy?

About the book:

Édouard Louis longs for a life beyond the poverty, discrimination and
violence in his working-class hometown - so he sets out for school in
Amiens, and, later, university in Paris. He sheds the provincial ‘Eddy’ for
an elegant new name, determined to eradicate every aspect of his past.
He reads incessantly; he dines with aristocrats; he spends nights with
millionaires and drug-dealers alike.
Everything he does is motivated by a single obsession: to become
someone else. At once harrowing and profound, Change is not just a
personal odyssey, a story of dreams and of ‘the beautiful violence of
being torn away’, but a profound portrait of a society divided by class,
power and inequality.

The Book Fairies are sharing copies of The Daughter by T. M. Logan all around the UK in the hope that finders can follow the trail and find her…

Can YOU find The Daughter?

About the book:

You thought she was safe. You were wrong…

Lauren can’t wait to see her daughter again, to pick her up from university at the end of her first term. But when she arrives at her hall and knocks on the door to her room, a stranger opens it.

At first, Lauren thinks she must have the wrong room, or the wrong floor. Maybe even the wrong building. But she soon realises the truth: Evie’s not there. She hasn’t been there for weeks.

…So where is she?

Following one family’s desperate race against time as one terrifying moment unravels into a living nightmare, The Daughter is the unmissable new heart-in-mouth thriller from the Sunday Times bestselling author of The Mother and The Dream Home.

The Book Fairies are sharing copies of Maternity Service by Emma Barnett!

Who will be lucky enough to spot one? Two were left in Tintagel today for some lucky finders!

About the book:

When Emma Barnett began her second maternity leave, she realized that, despite having been there before, as soon as her first leave finished the rose-tinted lenses had descended and she immediately forgot what the experience was actually like when you’re in it. This collective forgetting, which leads to well-meaning comments such as ‘enjoy every minute’ and ‘treasure this special time’, is doing a disservice to women, leaving them unprepared for the more complicated reality of what it means to be on maternity service.

In this warmly reassuring, refreshingly honest book, Emma sets out to capture this reality, in real time while on her latest tour of duty. She isn’t offering advice on sleep-training or weaning or helping your baby reach milestones. Instead, this book is a celebration and acknowledgement of the work of being on maternity leave, with its soaring highs and challenging lows, and its impact on how women feel about our purpose and ourselves.
