Alvin E. Lauran: Between Chats and
Heartbeats | A Boys' Love Trilogy

Between Chats and Heartbeats | A Boys' Love Trilogy

FROM THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR TWICE WINNER OF THE COSTA BOOK OF THE YEAR 'A master?ly work of historical witness and moral reckoning.' OBSERVER 'Arguably our greatest living novelist' IRISH TIMES 'An artist of the highest order' CLAIRE KILROY 'The laureate of empathy' SUNDAY INDEPENDENT An immersive and unforgettable novel about one man's life in the aftermath of the American Civil War. Against this rapidly shifting landscape, Tennyson Bouguereau - freed man, devoted brother, nascent singer, conflicted soldier and wanted man - journeys to find meaning and belonging. From the relative safety of home in Tennessee with his sister Rosalee, he is offered the possibility of a whole new life in Nashville, until a surprising trip to Victorian England changes everything. Exquisitely rendered, and with a rich cast of characters, The Newer World is a lyrical, visceral novel about what it is to survive, and what might be lost along the way.

'a near-miracle of storytelling' Guardian

The Newer World

Faced with a terminal cancer diagnosis, poet Lieke Marsman embarked on an intellectual expedition to challenge the limits of the rational, secular worldview she once trusted, in a quest for hope. A brilliant, life-affirming and expansive meditation on mortality and the courage to imagine the unknown.

On Another Planet They Can Save Me

Wanda treibt durch eine Millionenmetropole im dissoziierten Delirium: Ambient Listening, Dopaminjagd, Infinity Pools, Amphetamine, Film-Screenings, Reformer-Pilates, Ceviche, Lilac Sour, Kettenrauchen, Konsumgüter, das nächste große Ding. Einst gefeiert als literarisches Wunderkind, hält sie sich nun mit Image-Politur und Ghostwriting für skandalbehaftete Politikersöhne über Wasser.

In Zelal Ye¿ilyurts ¿Molotov Cocktail Dress¿ ist die Gegenwart ein überhitzter, giftiger, komplett durchästhetisierter baudrillardscher Fiebertraum: Fische haben AIDS, die Route zum Reformer-Pilates führt durch Straßenaufstände und der rot glühende Sommerhimmel kocht die Menschen bei lebendigem Leibe.

Zwischen Kulturbetrieb, Expathügeln, Schönheitsprozeduren und Yuppie-Fassaden versucht Wanda, bei Verstand zu bleiben, während um sie herum alles schiefer, fremder und falscher wird. Nur durch ihre zu brodelndem Zynismus vergorene Wut kann sie diese Welt, an der sie sich trotz allem festgebissen hat, überhaupt noch ertragen. Bis aus Selbstverrat und Informationserschöpfung schließlich eine gefährliche, existenzielle Entgleisung wird ...

Ein Roman wie ein Nervenzusammenbruch im voll geschwitzten Cavalli-Slipdress: schmerzhaft, schillernd, manisch.

Molotov Cocktail Dress

The 'insanely brilliant' (Marina Hyde) Sunday Times bestseller

Look What You Made Me Do

A BBC Radio 2 Book Club Pick 'A brilliantly clever tale about time travel gone wrong. Bold, convincing and beautifully told - I could not put this book down' - CLARE LESLIE HALL 'So impressive. It made me see London in a completely new way and brought the Blitz to life. Incredibly clever - I loved it' - HARRIET TYCE 'Ellery Lloyd is one of my favourite writers. Time to Burn is a riveting time traveler thriller packed with rollicking action and epic imagination - and a smart, satirical heart' - ABIGAIL DEAN From the author of The Club, a Reese Witherspoon Book Club Pick, Time to Burn is Ellery Lloyd's compelling time travel thriller. If the past catches up with you, time travel can be murder . . . London, the present day: commercial time travel is a reality. Tempus Tours - owned by controversial tech entrepreneur Inigo Frank - offers the wealthy a chance to witness pivotal moments in history. To immortalise his achievement, Frank enlists award-winning filmmaker Phoebe Hunt to create a fly-on-the-wall documentary. On her first day shadowing Inigo, she is set to witness the return of a billionaire property developer and his family from their trip to the past. But instead of their awe-filled return, she captures the group arriving bloodied and traumatized, with one of their number missing. Not only that, but Phoebe recognizes the missing woman. She knows not only that she's not who she claims to be, but that the woman has every reason to harbor a grudge against her. And as events begin to unravel in the present day, it seems increasingly clear that the woman had sinister motives for returning to the past - and that people close to Phoebe are in danger. Can Phoebe stop the ripple effect before she loses everything - and everyone - she holds dear? * * * 'Absolutely thrilling. Mind bending and totally immersive. It takes the idea of time travel to new and exciting heights. Ingenious!' - JOHN MARRS 'A mesmerizing time-hopping mystery around the question: what if time travel is possible, but only for the uber-rich? Time to Burn offers twists and turns galore, a true delight to the last page!' - KATE QUINN

Hail Mary

'Poignant, thought-provoking and very funny' JOANNA CANNON 'Darkly comic and deeply felt' GRACE FLAHIVE Full of wit, heart and charm, Ghost Month asks a timeless question: do we only value life when we are reminded that it will end? Perhaps you've already noticed little things, strange details. A shadow not attached to anything. A face in a window which might be a trick of the light. They come at dusk. Today. Every September, the spirits of the dead return before vanishing four weeks later in a puff of green ash. The haunting has become a holiday - part Christmas, part Halloween, full of annual reckonings with the past. The ghosts aren't real in any way that can hurt you, so it's hard to tell the silent spectres from ashen commuters: they linger on train platforms, they crowd buses, they take up space on your sofa. The proper term these days is 'people without pulses'. This year, four strangers prepare for a visit from their dearly departed. The season forces them to confront all the things that haunt them, not just their dead. As suppressed truths emerge from the shadows, each of them will end Ghost Month changed in ways they never imagined. Happy Haunting. Readers loved Ghost Month: 'Eerie and tender, playful and profound, it lingers like a whisper long after the final page' 'Astounding . . . This is a book is going to stay with me for a very long time to come' 'Brilliant! A touching story of helping one another through life and death' 'Atmospheric and beautifully written, it's haunting in more ways than one' 'I genuinely didn't want to put it down'

The Violent Hour

'Very funny' Guardian 'Inkwell black and surprisingly tender' ADAM KAY 'Outrageous' MARINA HYDE 'A blockbusting explosion of toxic masculinity' Spectator In a busy maternity ward, first-time father Dan meets Jada, a dad welcoming his fifth - no, sixth? - child into the world. But Dan and Jada come from very different places: both called Glasgow. Dan is a successful TV writer with a townhouse in the West End and a shiny Tesla ready to drive his wife and baby home. Jada is a hustling, small-time criminal who is already planning how to separate Dan from some of the luxuries Jada has never been able to enjoy in his tiny flat in a Brutalist sixties council block. When a tragedy occurs, Dan and Jada's worlds are brought closer than either could ever have imagined - close enough that it could mean destruction for both of them . . .

LitHub From the Pulitzer Prize shortlisted novelist, a story of guilt, innocence, and a boy on the cusp of adolescence'Lee's latest novel is a tale of almosts: a family of working-class immigrants almost living the American dream; an 11-year-old boy, almost transitioning into adulthood and straddling the worlds of his doting Korean parents and a semi-feral gaggle of neighborhood kids.'

But the summer he turns eleven, he becomes embroiled in a staggering series of events reverberating far beyond himself and his family.Devastating in its emotional precision,&nbsp;A Tender Age&nbsp;captures a family and community in striking distance of the American dream, and a young person on the precipice of adult knowledge, looking at his own culpability and looking away - then thinking about it for the rest of his life.

Jane tells herself it's only a fling - one perfect, carefree summer, on her way to achieving her dream of becoming an architect and moving to the continent. But as the days pass, the pair find themselves falling hard into first love. AND THEN EVERYTHING WILL VANISH. Then tragedy strikes - when a tsunami destroys much of Hilo, leaving both Jane and Kenji convulsed with grief.
