My name is Niquette Delongpre & on the night before my mother's forty-seventh birthday, my entire family vanished without a trace. Everyone assumed the swamp swallowed them. They were wrong... Deep in the swamps outside of New Orleans, Niquette Delongpre & her family uncover a well on their property
- a well that has roots all the way down into the soils of the Mississippi River. A well that brings ancient things to the surface
- things that should have stayed buried. When Niquette is exposed to a small parasite, it triggers in her mysterious & dangerous powers. As she tries to come to grips with these new abilities & what they might mean for her future, she realises that she is not alone. Someone else, someone who was exposed to the same mysterious parasite during a clandestine visit to the swamp, is also discovering his new talents, & he's not as nice as she is...

If there's one distinctive feature of the British countryside, it has to be the hedgerow. In fact, hedgerows are such an established part of our landscape that sometimes we take them for granted. But take a closer look, & the diversity & variety of plant species that form them is little short of wondrous. & it is not only plant life that thrives in abundance in the hedgerow
- native wild animals, birds & insects are protected & nourished by them. We know that at least 65 species of birds live in our hedgerows & that they are crucial to the survival of moths, bats & dormice. Hedgerows can provide a great fund of fresh, wild food for us, too, & this is partly what this book is about. In The Hedgerow Handbook Adele Nozedar reintroduces the wild & natural hedgerow ingredients that our grandmothers used on a regular basis
- but gives them a fresh & contemporary twist. From angelica to ash & bird cherry to borage, from pineapple weed to plantain & wild garlic to wimberries, each entry is accompanied by an exquisite full colour illustration to help you identify each plant or flower, along with its history & folklore, & culinary & medicinal uses. You won't find yet another recipe for blackberry pie nor nettle soup here, however
- this is not your run-of-the mill hedgerow book. Instead, why not try Adele's Spicy Ash Key Pickle, her Beechnut Turron, Red Clover Lemonade or Wild Raspberry Vodka? The Hedgerow Handbook is much more than a foraging book
- it is an inspiration & a trigger for a new experience of our countryside & for memories: of a summer filled with hot sunny days; or of the time you got drenched in a sudden rain shower miles away from the warmth & dryness of your car or home, which made those blackberry muffins even more enjoyable.
