A day in an English school in the 1980s unfolds in the aftermath of the death of a beloved teacher, Mr Ardennes. But while students and teachers grapple with this sudden loss, normal life, as it must, continues. Lessons, flirtations, arguments. The clock ticks on. At the heart of it all is Tin. Burning bright with defiance, feared and adored in equal measure – and potentially betrayed by best friend Robin and boyfriend Jonah. As the heat of the baking hot day intensifies, rivalries and hormones simmer, and old secrets surface. Set against a backdrop of strikes and economic unrest, DARK LIKE UNDER is at the same time languorous with sun-soaked, rural beauty. Thrumming with life, this luminous debut captures the promise and risk of late adolescence and is a profound exploration of friendship, loneliness and grief. Alice Chadwick grew up in a small town in Britain in the 1980s, a place she returns to in her fiction. She studied English at Cambridge and was a student on City Lit’s fiction Masterclass. Published by Daunt in February 2025 and Biblioasis in Canada/US in May, DARK LIKE UNDER is her first novel. It was an editor’s pick in the Bookseller and a book to look out for in 2025 in the Independent. Her non-fiction has been included in an anthology of London writing by Indie Novella. She lives in London. Marigold Atkey is publisher at Daunt Books Publishing, a house that aims to bring to readers the most exciting literary writing from across the world and the decades. Among the books she has published, there and at previous homes, are Kathryn Scanlan's Kick the Latch, Rita Bullwinkel's Headshot and Nick Hayes's The Book of Trespass.

The layout and route of the British Museum does not seem to be very clear, and it is much clearer with the explanation group. Diana explained that it was friendly and relaxed, very dedicated, and could meet some personalized requirements of passengers, which was a worthwhile experience for first-time travelers.

Westminster Abbey

江苏无锡JC

Westminster Abbey is actually a collection of churches and cemeteries (royal and some celebrities). The building is magnificent and the interior is well maintained. It is worth seeing. The ticket purchased on Trip.com is convenient to use. Just scan the QR code at the entrance of the church to enter. There are too many people. Queues for an hour to enter. The church provides free Chinese voice interpreters.

This time I brushed it twice. This time I took my family to sit together. It felt really good overlooking half of London and the Thames. The only fly in the ointment was that the weather was not good enough, and the scenery was too far from sunny and cloudy.

Windsor Castle

The Queen&#39;s favorite palace is very luxurious inside, but you are not allowed to take photos, you can only take photos outside. When I entered, I took a photo but was stopped by the staff. Knowing the daily life of the royal family, Windsor Castle is generally very quiet.
