Pimlico The Burning of Bridget Cleary: A True Story
In March 1895 Bridget Cleary was ill with a cold. Her husband Michael and a number of neighbours and relatives became convinced that she was a fairy changeling and tortured her to death. This grisly true story forms the basis of Angela Bourke's outstanding narrative in which the whole context of this crime and its punishment is sparely and powerfully laid out. Bourke's style, judgement and eye for detail are superb; there are scenes on this book of quite appalling vividness--in particular the chapters concerned with poor Bridget's end. The closed room, the men yelling questions at her, trying to force her to eat herbs soaked in milk (if she could eat then them then she might be the real Bridget and not the changeling), manhandling her; lifting her body and winding it backwards and forwards, yelling 'away with you; come home, Bridget, in the name of God!' while slapping her. On 14 March, they held her over the fire to drive the spirits out, and on 15 March Bridget's husband set fire to her nightgown, throwing on lamp-oil to make the fire burn more fiercely. She's not my wife, he told the assembled people. You'll soon see her go up the chimney. <p> This is a chilling story, one that stays with you creepily long after you have finished reading. Like Arthur Miller's <I>The Crucible</I> it seems to open itself to a wide variety of interpretation, and Bourke's balancing of old-world superstitious Ireland against the new rational nation about to be born is expert. These events may be a hundred years old, but they come over as frighteningly contemporary. --<I>Adam Roberts</I>

Red Fox The Burning City
<I>The Burning City</I> is New York at the height of summer; one of the achievements of the Dorfman's, father and son, is that they make us see one of the most clichéd of cityscapes in a new light. For one thing, this is New York as seen by high-speed bike and roller-blade messengers, in which every street is a set of pit-falls and a set of opportunities; sixteen-year-old Heller wants to be the best and fastest and is quietly ruthless with himself and with pedestrians as he slides his bike under trucks and through building sites. It is also the New York of exiles and foreigners--Heller works for a company specialising in tidings of death and other miseries and spends his days telling people of a death in Paris or a forced marriage in Kurdistan. This is also an intelligent novel about adolescence; Heller is a flawed protagonist who learns some hard home truths about what is really important. <p>This is a touching and exciting book, the deliberate na&imul;veties of which reflect those of its profoundly ambiguous and amoral young hero; like him, it stands at the very edge of teen wish-fulfilment fantasies and adult concerns. --<I>Roz Kaveney</I>

Time Warner Paperbacks The Burning Girl
With <I>The Burning Girl</I>, Mark Billingham steps away from the inventively vicious serial killers of his earlier thrillers to have his police detective Thorne investigate something equally unpleasant--the men who kill for money not kicks and the gangsters who ruthlessly employ them. Thorne's retired friend Carol put Rooker away years ago for setting fire to a girl--whom he mistakenly believed to be the daughter of gang-boss Kelly; the girl did not die, then, but wished she had. Now someone is ringing Carol, saying it was them that burned the girl, and Rooker is promising to tell the truth; Ryan, Alison Kelly's ex-husband and her father's chosen successor, is caught up in gang warfare with a new North London Turkish mafia. As always, Billingham delivers psychological insights you half wish you didn't have, along with a profound sense of just how far the damaged Thorne will go in the name of justice. Anyone who knows North London will recognise this as being as atmospheric as it is moody--Billingham continues to develop from book to book. --<I>Roz Kaveney</I>

Orbit The Burning Stone (Crown of Stars S.)
There is nothing more tragic than legitimate ambition comprehensively thwarted and Kate Elliott's fantasy sequence has a bleak sadness even in its moments of triumph, simply because her heroes and heroines seem as if they are never going to get the chance to be all they could be. Alan, suddenly adopted heir to the local noble, is obliged to marry an anorexic princess whose hobby of heresy extends to fake stigmata; royal courier Liath and more than slightly deranged royal bastard Sanglant find that their love stands in the way of the King's dynastic plans; the prattish monk Ivar runs away from heresy proceedings and hides among a young prince's boon companions and catamites. And while the nobility juggle marriages and churchmen bicker about doctrine, invaders mass on the borders and the world seems booked for cataclysms political and metaphysical. Elliott has not yet become as popular as she probably deserves--she has a real sense of what even an imaginary mediaeval world should be like, in its pompous scholarship and simple piety, and her characters are interestingly fluid; place Ivar in a cavalry charge and he does quite well. This third volume sustains the pace and grim tone of its predecessors in the Crown of Stars sequence. --<I>RozKaveney</I> ;

Little, Brown John Wesley: A Brand from the Burning
<I>A Brand from the Burning</I> weaves together the personal, theological, political and spiritual elements in the life of John Wesley to reflect the spirit of his age and the impact he had upon it. Roy Hattersley approaches writing with the same verve and commitment that marked his political career. Always one for plain talking and a brisk sense of humour, he also has a sense of proportion both about himself and the wider world. Having authored <I>Blood and Fire</I>, the biography of William and Catherine Booth, the Christian social reformers who founded the Salvation Army, Hattersley turns an observant and affectionate eye on John Wesley. As a Labour politician, he is naturally interested in the impact of the Methodist movement on the social and political scene of Britain. He traces Wesley's fascinating life to show how an itinerant preacher became one of the architects of the modern world. <p> John Wesley's beginning in the Anglican rectory and his enthusiasm for the Christian faith at Oxford led to his becoming a missionary to the nascent colony of Georgia. There he found God in a new way and came back to preach a revivalist message across Britain. Out of this fiery movement the Methodist Church was established and it has been claimed that because of Wesley's work Britain experienced a spiritual revival rather than a bloody revolution. Roy Hattersley writes clear, straightforward prose and tells the story of Wesley with a spark of the same zeal and charisma that Wesley himself must have had. --<I>Dwight Longenecker</I>
