In this fifth issue, we embrace “failure,” because without failure, there is no progress! We start with a creative conversation with actor, writer, producer, and director Rashida Jones—a multi-hyphenate success story who nonetheless loves to be bad at new things. You’ll tour: a gorgeous home in the hills of northern California and learn how that landscape inspires artist Carolyn Kelly; a beautiful beach house/art studio on Fire Island that informs James Perkins’ natural creations; and quirkily rustic restored rail cars in the English countryside. Also included are new how-to’s, like how to weave a beautiful basket from Underwater Weaving founder Erin Powell, how to create your own floral arrangement (a 101 from Fox and the Fleur owner Anne Dickson), and other fun ideas to get creativity stirring—straight from the creators’ mouths. We feature an excerpt from designer Jake Arnold’s book and in-depth stories on Two Faced Ceramics and Totem Home. This fifth issue includes a behind-the-scenes look at the commercial photo shoot behind Leanne’s new Crate and Barrel line, styled by none other than our own style director Hilary Robertson. Finally, we wouldn’t forget our Free $.99 section, this time focusing on what to do with salvaged marble—plus more “free” art that readers can tear out to hang on their walls. FEEL FREE magazine curates a space where readers can experience a collaboration of creation. Joyful, elevated, and funky, fun, and undone, FEEL FREE magazine breaks down interior design and artistic processes, and gives them back to the people.

Jamaica and Britain. Who gets to tell their story? Zadie Smith returns with her first historical novel. Kilburn, 1873. The 'Tichborne Trial' has captivated the widowed Scottish housekeeper Mrs Eliza Touchet and all of England. Readers are at odds over whether the defendant is who he claims to be - or an imposter. Mrs Touchet is a woman of many interests: literature, justice, abolitionism, class, her novelist cousin and his wives, this life and the next. But she is also sceptical. She suspects England of being a land of façades, in which nothing is quite what it seems. Andrew Bogle meanwhile finds himself the star witness, his future depending on telling the right story. Growing up enslaved on the Hope Plantation, Jamaica, he knows every lump of sugar comes at a human cost. That the rich deceive the poor. And that people are more easily manipulated than they realise. Based on real historical events, The Fraud is a dazzling novel about how in a world of hypocrisy and self-deception, deciding what's true can prove a complicated task. 'It's difficult to give any idea of how extraordinary this book is. One of the great historical novels, certainly. But has any historical novel ever combined such brilliantly researched and detailed history with such intensely imagined fiction? Or such a range of living, breathing, surprising characters with such an idiosyncratically structured narrative?' Michael Frayn 'As always it is a pleasure to be in Zadie Smith's mind, which, as time goes on, is becoming contiguous with London itself. Dickens may be dead, but Smith, thankfully, is alive' New York Times 'Zadie Smith's Victorian-set masterpiece holds a mirror up to Britain . . .

Full of surprises" Lorraine Kelly Think of this memoir as a Christmas special in book form, from someone who has been involved in a few of those and understands a bit about the concept. But a Christmas special very much like Only Fools and Horses, in the sense that the stories will be always heading outwards, ranging far and wide and well beyond the traditional festive gags involving giblets left in turkeys. As I sift through various festive-related episodes in my career, loosening the ribbons, parting the wrapping paper, I'll be doing my best to reach any relevant conclusions about life, work and the meaning of it all that I can usefully pass on to you - baubles of wisdom if you like. Or certainly baubles. You'll learn why I have the perfect face to play Scrooge. And if you're lucky I'll also share what it's like to fly in a helicopter with my old mucker Tom Cruise.

The discovery of an Amish bishop's remains leads chief of police Kate Burkholder to unearth a chilling secret in The Hidden One, a new thriller from bestselling author Linda Castillo. Over a decade ago, beloved Amish bishop Ananias Stoltzfus disappeared without a trace. When skeletal remains showing evidence of foul play are unearthed, his disappearance becomes even more sinister. The town's elders arrive in Painters Mill to ask chief of police Kate Burkholder for help, but she quickly realizes she has a personal connection to the crime. The handsome Amish man who stands accused of the murder, Jonas Bowman, was Kate's first love. Forced to confront a painful episode from her past, Kate travels to Pennsylvania's Kishacoquillas Valley, where the Amish culture differs dramatically from the traditions she knows. Though Bishop Stoltzfus was highly respected, she soon hears about a dark side to this complex man. What was he hiding that resulted in his own brutal death? Someone doesn't want Kate asking questions. But even after being accosted and threatened in the dead of night, she refuses to back down. Is she too close to the case—and to Jonas—to see clearly? There's a killer in the Valley who will stop at nothing to keep the past buried. Will they get to Kate before she can expose the truth? Or will the bishop's secrets remain hidden forever?

In the immediate aftermath of a U-boat attack on an evacuee ship, one lifeboat of terrified survivors endures a fierce storm in the North Atlantic. June 1940. Three months earlier, two very different women - Alice King, a teacher, and Lily Nicholls, a young widow, confront life-changing choices as Britain prepares for invasion and the devastating Blitz bombing raids begin. In Kent, Alice sees a chance to play a part in the war and volunteers as an escort on the 'seavac' ships; in London Lily faces the agonizing decision of whether to keep her children with her as the Blitz begins, or send them to safety in Canada. The dramatic events of one fateful night in the mid-Atlantic, and the eight unimaginable days that follow, bind the two women together in the most devastating way. September 1940.
