The study questions and tasks at the end of each chapter are engaging and the discussion topics/projects are designed to push students beyond the material, and to use their own experiences and analytical skills to think about language.' Kathleen O'Connor, Universite Charles-de-Gaulle Lille III A great book for introductory undergraduate linguistics classes. The book is written in a style accessible even to non-native English speakers. Each chapter succeeds in providing a thorough overview of its topic while remaining at a level appropriate to newcomers in the field. 'The Study of Language provides a solid overview of an impressively wide range of areas in linguistics, not only 'core' areas such as syntax and phonology, but also the origins of language, pragmatics, discourse analysis, historical linguistics and more. In its seventh edition, The Study of Language thus retains its status as the pre-eminent text for introducing students to language as a field of study and guiding them through a broad range of linguistic analyses.' Kristy Beers Fagersten, Soedertoern University, Sweden 'With a wide array of illustrative examples, accessible explanations, and engaging activities, Yule excels in transforming his readers' inherent familiarity with language into explicit knowledge of linguistic concepts.

In The Town House, Norah Lofts evokes fourteenth- and fifteenth-century life from the perspective of five different characters. The vast scope of The Suffolk Trilogy - continued with The House at Old Vine and The House at Sunset - involves the reader in a fascinating journey through time.

Built in the late fourteenth century by Martin Reed, a runaway serf who had defied his master for the woman he loved, the house was to change and grow for six centuries. Can a house built from the ashes of tragedy ever be a place of lasting happiness? Can the hereditary mix of wild gypsy lore, fierce independence, magic and mystery truly settle in a respectable home?

The historical nature of the novel is also executed well, with some brilliant and vivid descriptions of life in Carcassonne during the 1200s. In the present, another woman sees the find as a means to the political power she craves while a man who has great power will kill to destroy all traces of the discovery and everyone who stands in his way. Kate Mosse is skilful in the creation of her characters and it is primarily this that drives the novel, despite the confused plot. As crusading armies led by Church potentates and nobles of northern France gather outside the city walls of Carcassonne, it will take great sacrifice to keep the secret of the labyrinth safe.

Jenkins also never plots her books in advance, and says that “most of the older books that fans think of as series were written years apart.” As for the more recent series, there was a plan for her Destiny trilogy, with each of the three brothers getting their own book, but for Women Who Dare, which began with 2019’s New Orleans-set Rebel, there was no plan.
