Women in the Middle Ages led fascinating and often wildly differing everyday lives, depending on their social class and family situation. Yet their wealth of experience has long been obscured and overshadowed by the experiences of men, with history books often relegating women to a single, catchall chapter, as if their lives formed a unified story.While a number of medieval women have claimed biographers attention, they tend to be the exceptional figures who broke the mould. What, then, of the countless others who were not exceptional and who did not blaze a new trail? How did their family lives and the constraints imposed upon them influence the ways in which they lived, worked, rejoiced, grieved and shaped their world?The Family Lives of Medieval Women turns the spotlight on these women and examines how the concept of family impacted every aspect of their existence, whatever their social class. It draws us into bustling towns and rural villages, into courts and castles, to meet secular women of every standing and learn about their lived experiences. For the first time, the full spectrum of the female familial experience is considered, illuminating the lives of medieval women with the depth, nuance and humanity they have always deserved.

But, when her brother and sister-in-law let her watch her six-year-old nephew Nathan, things go spectacularly wrong. After Roses dog kills a corgi at the park, Nathan begins to bark, overeat, and claim that the dead dog has possessed his body. Rose assumes this is trauma. Nathan insists its metaphysical fact. As Rose embarks on a misguided quest to free Nathan from his canine passenger, what begins as an attempt at childcare devolves into a surreal, anarchic spiral of suburban chaos. Brimming with unhinged charm and moral ambiguity, The Hitch is a biting satire of the stories we tell ourselves to stay saneand the havoc we wreak when those stories fall apart.

Virginia Mendozas first memories are of drought. She grew up in La Mancha, Spain, the driest region in Europe.

From flows of migration, agriculture and pagan rain gods to contemporary struggles with drought and climate change, Mendoza writes a gripping and inventive history of humankind as driven and united by one force: thirst.

When she defies her family and enrols at Riverside University, she steps into a world alive with protest, creativity, and possibility.There, she finds herself caught between two intoxicating forces: the promise of becoming a writer and her growing attraction to Daniel Hartman, a charismatic theatre student whose charm is as dangerous as it is magnetic. As Susie navigates friendships, creative failure, artistic awakening, and first love, she must confront a truth shes been warned about since childhood-some passions uplift you, and others consume you.Rich with period detail and emotional honesty, *Never Date an Actor* explores female ambition, artistic identity, and the delicate line between loving someone and losing yourself. It is a story about finding your voice-and learning when to protect it.
