The Girls Who Grew Big

“Pinteresque menace and Sparkian malice . . . A former actress herself, Ms. Bainbridge chronicles the backstage antics of her fictional theater company with knowing aplomb.” —Michiko Kakutani, The New York Times Book Review

A blackly comic story of the secrets, sex, and violence behind the curtain of a repertory theater’s postwar production of Peter Pan: its “close observation and hilarity are underlain by a sense of tragedy as deep as any in fiction.” (The Times)

Liverpool, 1950. Against the grimy backdrop of the gray postwar city, a shabby, scandal-steeped repertory theater company rehearses for their Christmas performance of Peter Pan. Treading the boards for the first time is sixteen-year-old Stella Bradshaw, ambitious, idealistic, and still overwhelmingly innocent. She falls hard for the rakish, monocled director, Meredith Potter, but, unable to attract his attentions—and not understanding why he’s spending quite so much time with their male colleagues—she turns to another colleague to initiate her into the ways of love. Enter the celebrated P. L. O’Hara, a dashing leading man who’s nursing secrets of his own. When the curtain is up, fantastical entertainment abounds, but backstage a very different drama is playing out: a pitch-black comedy of indiscretion, intrigue, and eventual tragedy. 

Shortlisted for the Booker Prize, and dusted with that magical “air of Pinteresque menace and Sparkian malice [that] lingers around the margins of [all of Beryl Bainbridge’s] fiction,” (Michiko Kakutani, The New York Times Book Review), An Awfully Big Adventure is one of the author’s very best—and best-loved—novels.

An Awfully Big Adventure

'A smart gender-flipped version of Moby Dick' Daily Telegraph 'A clever and original skewering of a classic' i News 'A brilliantly written reordering of Moby-Dick' Philip Hoare Call Me Ishmaelle reimagines the epic battle between man and nature in Herman Melville's Moby Dick from a female perspective - perfect for fans Madeline Miller, Percival Everett and Barbara KingsolverIn 1843, in a small village on the stormy Kent coast, Ishmaelle is born. She grows up swimming with dolphins and eventually - desperate for a life at sea - she disguises herself as a cabin boy and travels to New York. As the American Civil War breaks out, Ishmaelle boards a whaling ship led by the obsessive Captain Seneca, a Black free man of heroic stature who is haunted by a tragic past. Here, she finds protectors amidst the bloody male violence of whaling and discovers a mysterious bond between herself and the mythical white whale Moby Dick... 'One of the most valuable writers in the world' Deborah Levy'Guo has gender-flipped this intimidating text with bravura and style... Call Me Ishmaelle takes us on a courageous journey: it's no aping of a classic, rather a vision of a young woman sailing out to discover not a whale but her own self. And in that, it happily succeeds' Daily Telegraph'An astonishingly ambitious undertaking . . . you're in the hands of a genuine storyteller' New York Times Book Review

What We Can Know

The Payback

Karlsruhe 1848: Der Erfinder und ehemalige Revolutionär Carl von Sauerbronn kehrt von einer Expedition aus Brasilien zurück - mit einem singenden Affen. In den Tagen der Badischen Revolution wird der Affe Julius zum Symbol für Freiheit, Vernunft und Widerspruch. Während Sauerbronn versucht, das Tier zu erziehen, lehrt seine Tochter Susanne es das Sprechen - und das Lieben. Bald überschlagen sich die Ereignisse: Revolutionäre, Hofbeamte und ein entflammtes Publikum geraten in den Bann dieser ungewöhnlichen Dreiergeschichte.
Joscha Schaback erzählt mit Witz, sprachlicher Raffinesse und Sinn für das Groteske von der Sehnsucht nach Freiheit und Gleichheit, vom Rausch der Ideen und von der Kraft der Fantasie - ein literarischer Spaß im Geist E.T.A. Hoffmanns und zugleich ein kluger Kommentar auf unsere Gegenwart.

Der Affe von Karlsruhe

Perhaps one reason not enough people kill billionaires is it's actually quite tricky... 'Hopeful and exciting. Funny and heartbreaking ... I want to read more books like this!' Mikaela Loach 'Scarily believable' Daily Mail When her home is destroyed in wildfires, fourteen-year-old Australian outback genius Kayla Connolly decides to hunt down the culprits of climate change: billionaires. She teams up with Mr P, a giant ex-soldier from Tuvalu whose home is being flooded by rising sea levels. Together, they find ingenious ways to kill a property developer building on protected wetlands and a mining company CEO poisoning the earth with toxic chemicals. They also find an unexpected ally in Nancy, a wealthy elderly woman with a shocking past. The trio's mission soon develops a life of its own, taking them first to California to crack billionaire tech bros and then to London for superrich oil executives, spawning a global movement along the way. In pursuit are the FBI and Detective Sergeant Kate Anderson of Scotland Yard, but Kate is having doubts about whether Kayla is even in the wrong. Will Kayla be able to stay ahead of the game and pull off one final, remarkable hit? 'I wouldn't be surprised if it became a handbook for the revolution' Patrick Alley

The Prince Without Sorrow

New from the beloved New York Times bestselling author of Summers at the Saint and Hello, Summer! Pack your bags for a summer journey shaped by family secrets, long-buried history, and charming men with Irish accents. Maeve and Therese Dunigan haven't spoken in years. Raised under the same roof in Savannah, the two sisters could not be more opposite-Maeve the rule follower, Therese the unapologetic rebel. But when their mother's death pulls them back together, they inherit more than just grief: a mysterious painting that may be worth millions...if it's real. Determined to uncover the truth-and desperately in need of the money-the sisters set out on a journey to Ireland, tracing their family's roots and the origins of the portrait. What begins as a search for answers soon becomes something deeper-a reckoning with the past, as they uncover secrets that span generations and reshape everything they thought they knew about their family. With tensions simmering, the two hit the road and find themselves on twisty lanes, in colorful villages, at local pubs, and with handsome men whose gift of the gab is surpassed only by their charm. Can Maeve and Therese actually survive the journey without killing each other? Join Mary Kay Andrews on a road trip that will entertain you for miles.
