In March 2017, Niamh Fitzpatrick’s life fell apart overnight. Her beloved sister Dara was killed in a helicopter crash. Soon afterwards, Niamh’s marriage disintegrated, and she feared she would lose the house she lived in beside her remaining family. Life as she knew it had ended and the cumulative loss had a staggering impact.

As a psychologist for many years, Niamh had guided her clients on their journey to overcome the worst of times in their life and now she had to draw on this skillset herself to first survive, and in time begin to thrive after such significant loss.

Tell me the truth about loss documents her journey through loss, grief and the hardest of times, finding hope along the way.

Brian Pennie shouldn’t be alive today. His drug addiction was so bad that he was deemed too much of a risk for detox. Determined to confront his demons, he went cold turkey at home. Discovered in a pool of blood, it didn’t exactly go to plan, but that’s where his life truly began. On 8 October 2013, he was finally clean after 15 years of chronic heroin addiction, and something extraordinary happened: the world suddenly became beautiful.

Free of the anxiety and fear that had always plagued him, Brian was given a second chance at life, and he devoured every minute of it. Bit by bit he rebuilt his world and began to share what he learned with others. In this incredibly honest and inspirational book, Brian shares the story of how he turned a seemingly hopeless existence into a rich and rewarding life, showing that change is always possible, no matter how stuck we feel.

To live a whole life we need to flourish mentally, physically and emotionally. But when we are caught in the cycle of day-to-day living, we can easily get stuck and find that while we thrive in some of these areas, in others we are badly organised, unbalanced and in need of review.

The Life Audit is designed to help you take stock of these key areas of your life. By gently offering space to explore, contemplate and create new intentions that are in line with the life you want to live, it will help you move past blockages, and take you from where you are to where you want to be.

Daniella Moyles is an Irish model, presenter and travel blogger. She started her career aged 19 and has worked in radio and TV ever since. For two years she backpacked and lived all around the globe. She is currently studying to be a psychotherapist.

‘ T H E P O I N T O F A L L T H I S H AS N OT H I N G TO D O W I T H F I N D I N G YO U R S E L F. I T ’S A B O U T W H AT YO U CA N D O TO LOS E W H AT YO U D O N ’ T N E E D.’

It’s a dark rainy afternoon on Dublin’s jammed M50. The rain is hammering on the windscreen of Daniella Moyles’ car. She is 26, a highly successful radio presenter, model and influencer, but panic is building in her head and chest, the internal state of affairs she has been trying to ignore finally spilling over into something undeniably physical. She is frozen, petrified, looks to her boyfriend and says, ‘I don’t know who or where I am.’

This day changed Daniella’s life. It derailed almost everything she had worked to achieve and set her on a new path. Jump is the story of what happened when Daniella quit her job to backpack around the world for two years, and how freedom from the trappings of what society considers success leads to true contentment, strength and authenticity.

It was French film-maker Sophie Toscan du Plantier’s dream to have a holiday home in beautiful Schull in west Cork. But on 23 December 1996, she was brutally murdered outside that holiday home, the poetry book she had been reading chillingly left open on a page occupied by the Yeats poem ‘A Dream of Death’.

For 23 years the story of her murder has not left the headlines, the victim overshadowed by Ian Bailey, the main suspect in the case, who has consistently maintained his innocence and claimed attempts were made to frame him for the crime, but who was the focus of a historic trial in absentia in Paris in 2019.

Here, in the definitive account of what became Ireland’s most notorious unsolved crime, Ralph Riegel delves into the facts and theories of the unsolved murder that caused such shock waves in Sophie’s native France and in the quiet Cork countryside she had chosen as her retreat.

In 2006, a previously unknown Irish technology company by the name of Steorn created headlines globally when it took out a full-page ad in The Economist, in which it claimed to have made the scientific breakthrough of this – or any other – century: perpetual motion, nothing less than a complete and immediate solution to the global energy crisis.

The investment money poured in, with some of Ireland’s most respected entrepreneurs and institutions getting on board, but the demonstration was a spectacular failure.

So how did so many well-meaning and otherwise sensible people get things so desperately, absurdly wrong? The story begins with a malfunctioning CCTV system and ends with an exploding battery, and it drives home Ireland’s frenzied state of mind during the Celtic Tiger years.

Chef Trisha Lewis was days away from her 30th birthday when she set herself the goal of losing over half her body weight. She weighed 27 stone and was often mocked for her size. Now, through sheer determination, she has overhauled her life – giving up smoking, joining a gym and transforming her diet. Trisha has documented her journey on Instagram, gaining over 90,000 followers – Trisha’s Transformers – who are inspired by her relatability, can-do attitude, honesty and openness about the highs and lows of her weight-loss journey.

Here, for the first time, Trisha shares her story, tips and the recipes that have led to her incredible 8-stone weight loss. As a trained chef, her mission is to maintain the flavours she loves while losing weight, and these recipes prove Trisha’s mantra – that you can beat the bulge and still indulge.

Mary Elmes was a young woman from Cork who turned her back on a brilliant academic career to venture into war zones and rescue children in trouble.

When she learned that the Jewish people were being sent to their deaths during World War II, she smuggled children to safety in the boot of her car. She was arrested and imprisoned by the Gestapo, but went straight back to work after her release.

Through the voices of real children she saved, drawn from archival material, Miss Mary tells the magical story of Mary’s love of children and the lengths she went to protect and comfort them.

Mary Elmes would become known as the ‘Irish Schindler’. This is her story and the story of the children she saved from certain death.

Stephanie Moraghan is a Montessori teacher and volunteer at the Children’s Sunshine Home in Leopardstown, Dublin.

Nine-year-old Harry Moraghan never found maths easy. But when it came to learning his multiplication tables, difficult soon became impossible. So Harry’s mum invented an ingenious method of helping him over that first hurdle. She combined pictures and rhymes to help him visualise the answers. Just two weeks later, Harry had all his multiplication tables down pat.

Soon, news of Harry’s Magic Tables was spreading like wildfire through Harry’s school. In no time at all it had been shared and was helping classmates, friends, cousins, and even a few complete strangers.

To date, the method has helped thousands of children make the leap to multiplication. This newly expanded edition now includes, for the first time, 10, 11 and 12 times tables.

Nine-year-old Harry Moraghan never found maths

easy. Then he discovered he REALLY hated it when

it came to learning multiplication tables.

So Harry’s mum invented an ingenious way of

remembering his tables by using rhymes and

pictures. In a little over a week, Harry had all his

multiplication tables down pat.

Soon after, Harry’s teacher gave the class a

test. Harry finished it in five minutes and got

every question right! News of Harry’s Magic

Tables spread like wildfire in his school. In no

time, the book was shared with some lucky

classmates,friends, cousins, and eventually

complete strangers too! Now many happy children

know their tables inside out – and so can you!

STEPHANIE MORAGHAN is a Montessori

teacher and volunteer at the Children’s

Sunshine Home in Leopardstown, Dublin.

While Stephanie was out one evening, Harry

and his grandfather sent the manuscript

for Harry s Magic Tables to a number of

publishers. The rest is history – well, maths,

actually! Harry is now studying Honours

maths for his Leaving Cert.

Rhymes x pictures =

times tables made easy!

Jamie Heaslip is one of the most decorated players in the history of Irish rugby. Over the course of a 13-year career, during which time he amassed 229 appearances for Leinster and 100 international caps, his name became synonymous with both the Irish number 8 jersey and the values that have propelled the growth of professional rugby in Ireland: diligence, professionalism and an unwavering commitment to self-improvement.

Here, in a frank and stirring account of his years on rugby’s frontline, Heaslip recalls the events, wisdom and personalities that helped craft his winning mindset and vault Ireland to the summit of world rugby. At once an inspiring personal memoir and insider’s account of Ireland’s transformation from amateur backwater to professional powerhouse, All In is an inspiring meditation on sport, leadership and what it takes to succeed in the harshest environments.

T H E S P O RTS B O O K O F T H E Y E A R – N OW I N PA P E R B AC K

When a career-ending injury saw former Ireland and Millwall striker Richie Sadlier retire from football at age 24, his life spiraled out of control. Without structure or a sense of purpose, and fueled by a dependency on alcohol, he spent years running from the dark memories and feelings that had haunted him since childhood. Until one day, he hit rock bottom and decided to confront his demons.

Now a successful soccer pundit, psychotherapist and mental-fitness teacher, Recovering is about a life shaped by efforts to escape, and how it is possible to rebuild a life, piece by piece, with the right help.

Today is a very special day. It is the President’s birthday and everyone in the Áras is preparing a birthday party.

So while the President is sent out to the Phoenix Park, preparations get underway. The pigeon puts up the bunting, the hairy biker mows the lawn, Mrs Mullins dusts down the pictures and the cat checks that the cream for the cake is just right.

Meanwhile, the President enjoys tea and scones at Farmleigh House and even does a spot of outdoor yoga. But will our forgetful President enjoy his day in the park too much to remember it’s his birthday? Or will it be his turn to surprise everyone?

Boulevard Wren and Other Stories is the stunning follow-up to the bestselling Gospel According to Blindboy, and a warped mirror held up to the Irish psyche.

Provocative and unsettling, the stories rove through the centuries, from the barren fields of Famine-struck Meath to the chaotic landscape of the near future, where social media has colonised the deepest recesses of the human subconscious. This is a world populated by characters lost and at odds with the demands of contemporary life, for whom the line separating redemption and madness has grown impossibly fine.

Razor-sharp social commentary, it is an era-defining work from one of Ireland’s most anarchic satirists and a quietly devastating portrait of a society in disarray.

Tom Crean was the indestructible farmer’s son from Kerry who sailed on three major expeditions to the unknown Antarctic over a century ago. He was among the few men who served with both Captain Robert Scott and Sir Ernest Shackleton, who spent longer on the ice than either and outlived them both.

Crean was at the heart of historic events on Shackleton’s epic Endurance expedition, but when Tom returned to Ireland during the War of Independence , he never spoke about his exploits. He took his incredible story to the grave – until publication of An Unsung Hero, the biography that unearthed his story and saw him rightfully placed amongst the annals of the great explorers. This newly illustrated edition of the bestselling classic is a must for anyone with a taste for adventure.

Rory Gallagher is revered as one of the greatest guitarists ever to pick up the instrument. The energy of his shows and his commitment to the audience is legendary.

Drawing on extensive interviews with those who knew him, Julian Vignoles casts new light on the familial, musical and sociocultural contexts that inspired Gallagher, and on the complex personality that drove his career.

Vignoles reassesses Gallagher’s songwriting, suggesting it has been somewhat overlooked because of his dexterity as a guitarist. Crucially, the book shows how many of Gallagher’s songs speak eloquently – and poignantly – about the person who penned them.

Meticulously researched, this intimate portrait is the insightful biography that Rory Gallagher deserves. An engrossing read, it will be as revelatory for curious neophytes as for his legions of loyal fans.

‘A H OUSE TO WHIC H THE

BEST OF I R IS H AUTHORS CAN

BR IN G T H E IR MANUSC RIPTS ’

When Michael Gill founded Gill in 1968, The Irish Times described it as ‘a welcome enterprise’ and hoped it would become a home for the best of Irish authors.

Since then we’ve been honoured to publish the works of great writers and experts such as Noël Browne, Garret FitzGerald, Tom Garvin, Éamon de Buitléar, Myrtle Allen, Susan Jane White, Francis Brennan and Matt Cooper.

We’ve been there in good times and bad, publishing the books you choose to read on every aspect of Irish life: from the 1960s bestseller Prayers of Life to How Stormont Fell; from Rachel’s Favourite Food to The Encyclopaedia of Ireland; from the heady high of The Pope’s Children to the popular reissuing of Soundings in 2010, when perhaps we all needed a bit more poetry in our lives; from Jim McGuinness’ powerful Until Victory Always and Irelandopedia, which celebrated every county in the country, to recent bestsellers Emer McLysaght & Sarah Breen’s Aisling series, Decan Lynch and Tony O’Reilly’s Tony 10, and Blindboy Boatclub’s short-story collections, The Gospel According to Blindboy and Boulevard Wren and Other Stories. Each book, in its own way, captures a slice of life, a slice of the times we live in.

But it was really Michael’s great-great-grandfather who started our story. In 1856 Michael Henry Gill, then the printer to Dublin University, purchased the publishing and bookselling business of James McGlashan, forming McGlashan & Gill, which then became M.H. Gill & Son, then Gill & Macmillan and, in 2016, simply Gill. The bookshop – popularly known as Gills and referenced in James Joyce’s Ulysses – was located on Dublin’s O’Connell Street for 123 years until it closed in 1979.

Whether it’s printing, publishing or bookselling, we believe reading matters. We’ve always believed in Irish talent and we’ve always believed in the curious mind of the Irish reader. If we’ve managed to help produce something from one to satisfy that of the other, it’s been a good day at the office.

Thanks for reading.
