William C. Morris Debut Award Finalist! From debut author Nina Kenwood comes a tender and funny love letter to coming of age, and first love and its confusions, perfect for fans of Booksmart and To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before. When her parents announce their impending divorce, Natalie can’t understand why no one is fighting, or at least mildly upset. Then Zach and Lucy, her two best friends, hook up, leaving her feeling slightly miffed and decidedly awkward. She’d always imagined she would end up with Zach one day—in the version of her life that played out like a TV show, with just the right amount of banter, pining, and meaningful looks. Now everything has changed, and nothing is quite making sense. And then, an unexpected romance with Zach’s older brother comes along and shakes things up even further...

Established in the 1940s to produce and sell domestic labour-saving devices, Kenwood has survived and evolved to become a British icon. It is high time someone recorded (almost) everything they ever made, and put a date to it, so that future generations can make sense of what was happening in U.K. kitchens, in business, in industrial design and in manufacturing. The first item off the production line, the Turnover Toaster, was made by Roger Laurence and Kenneth Wood in 1947, and over a hundred separate domestic objects would follow over the next thirty years. Inside this book, you will find full-colour photographs, descriptions and original retail prices of these mixers, accessories and appliances, right up to the model A901 Chef, first launched in 1976. Among many others, this book covers the A100 Turnover Toaster, A200 Mixer, A700 Chef, A600 Activair, A701/A Chef, A724 Mk I and II Coffee Mills, A740 Juice Extractor, A500 Roto-Blend, A955 Kenmix Blender, A1212 Dishwasher, A520 Blender, A888 MatchMaker Rollers and A180 Sodastream. If you are a collector, historian, hobbyist, enthusiast, or just like looking at pictures of old domestic objects and lovely design, this book is for you. Inside: how they competed with the likes of Sunbeam, KitchenAid and Moulinex; from their origins in Woking to their current site in Havant; the expectations of women in the home from the 1950s, through the 1960s and into the 1970s; the restrictions upon food preparation and baking from the effects of rationing; the relative cost of these appliances to average earnings at the time; sexist advertisements; beautiful vintage kitchenware and kitchenalia; and much, much more!

Set high on a ridge in historic parkland less than five miles from Trafalgar Square, Kenwood is London's favourite 'country house'. Remodelled by Robert Adam in the eighteenth century, in 1928 it became the home of the Iveagh Bequest, a superb collection of old master paintings that includes Rembrandt's most celebrated self-portrait, the only Vermeer in England outside the National Gallery and the Royal Collection, Gainsborough's Countess Howe, and classic works by Reynolds, Romney, Lawrence and Turner. The collection was formed between 1887 and 1891 by Edward Cecil Guinness, 1st Earl of Iveagh, Chairman of the world's leading brewery, who gave it to the nation with the house and estate. This book is published to mark the seventy-fifth anniversary of the opening of the Iveagh Bequest and is the first new catalogue of the collection to be produced in fifty years. It discusses each work, revealing the personalities behind the faces in the portraits, the social circumstances of each commission, and the way that art met the ambitions of artists, patrons, sitters and collectors. There are also two introductory essays that provide context for the house and discuss the ways in which Lord Iveagh was a pioneer collector. Beautifully produced, this catalogue of paintings is the essential book on Kenwood.
