Joe, a disciplined and compassionate paramedic with a military background, had always followed orders. He witnessed the trials and horrors of civilian life daily, sometimes watching people die before his eyes or experiencing the miracle of bringing someone back from the brink of death. However, nothing could have prepared him for the carnage that would ensue when he was forced to turn his attention to the deadly world of 21st-century politics. Joe had survived life on the front lines as a soldier and understood that people were rarely entirely good or bad. He realized that personal biases and prejudices often colored one's perspective. Content to go with the flow and live a quiet life, everything changed when he met the love of his life, Emma Lomax. Her vibrant spirit and sense of purpose compelled him to become more involved and question the decisions made by those in power that so adversely affected the lives of ordinary people. In turbulent times, with London on the brink of a dictatorship, Joe found himself caught in the middle of a political upheaval. As people died, he took on the roles of victim, chronicler, and detective, trying to unravel whether the violence was orchestrated by someone in a position of power who saw him as a threat or the work of a madman on a vendetta mission. Thrust into the heart of a deadly political game, Joe must navigate a treacherous landscape where the line between sanity and lunacy is increasingly blurred.

In the 1990s, the UK made significant strides in addressing women's rights, with issues such as workplace discrimination, maternity leave, and equal pay coming to the forefront of societal awareness. Despite these advancements, certain harmful practices, like underage and arranged marriages, persisted, particularly within Asian and African communities. Many families, holding onto the traditions of their original cultures from former British colonies, failed to recognize the conflict this caused with their UK-raised children, who embraced different values and lifestyles. The novel centres around Jameela, a young woman tragically caught in such a cultural rift. Her story unfolds against the backdrop of her forced marriage and subsequent life in a tribal society, just as the fanatic militia known as the Taliban begins to rise in power. Years later, Jameela's sister and a friend, both medical graduates, journey to this tribal land on a mission to help and to search for Jameela. Their efforts lead to arrest and near despair, until a nurse, partially educated in the UK, and her influential uncle intervene, enabling a poignant reunion with Jameela. Now a widow, Jameela has been deeply indoctrinated by the Taliban's extremist teachings, viewing even the simplest acts of affection as forbidden. Through an intensive rehabilitation program, Jameela gradually recovers from her indoctrination. Together, the three women return to the UK, united by a resolve to establish a charity dedicated to combating arranged and underage marriages. Their mission is bittersweet, however, as their success is overshadowed by the tragic death of their mother, who is overwhelmed by the shock and joy of seeing Jameela alive. This poignant tale not only highlights the stark realities faced by women caught in the crosshairs of cultural tradition and modernity but also celebrates the resilience of the human spirit and the power of redemption and advocacy.

This is the first full-length study of the symphonies of Robert Simpson to be offered to the general public. Simpson is perhaps best known for his BBC work, including the Promenade Concerts and such innovatory radio programmes as The Innocent Ear; but critics have hailed him as one of the finest writers of symphonies of the twentieth century-one who additionally spent a lifetime examining and talking about works of this kind, being particularly interested in the oeuvres of Bruckner, Nielsen and Sibelius. As a result, his compositions provide invaluable case studies for the understanding of this most demanding of compositional forms, as well as being a string of eleven masterpieces spanning the last half of the twentieth century.
