Building the Vibrant Future of Manufacturing

LONGLISTED FOR THE BOOKER PRIZE 2025'Spellbinding' THE TIMES'An exquisite, languorous novel' OBSERVER'Heartstoppingly vivid' OISÍN MCKENNAA radiant novel of the longing that blooms between two boys over the course of one summer - about family, desire, and what we inherit - from celebrated author Tash Aw.When his grandfather dies, a boy named Jay travels south with his family to the property he left them, a once flourishing farm that has fallen into disrepair. The trees are diseased, the fields parched from months of drought.Still, Jay's father, Jack, sends him out to work the land, or whatever land is left. Over the course of these hot, dense days, Jay finds himself drawn to Chuan, the son of the farm's manager, different from him in every way except for one.Out in the fields, and on the streets into town, the charge between the boys intensifies. Inside the house, the other family members confront their own regrets, and begin to drift apart. Like the land around them, they are powerless to resist the global forces that threaten to render their lives obsolete.At once sweeping and intimate, The South is a story of what happens when private and public lives collide. It is the first in a quartet of novels that form Tash Aw's masterful portrait of a family navigating a period of great change - a reimagined epic for our times.

The South

The author of My What If Year is back with a fun, witty debut novel that takes you inside the world of extreme wealth and charitable giving.
Lucia thought she had it all figured out-until life in London as a new mom and expat turned everything upside down. She's barely holding it together when she unexpectedly lands a glamorous job as a philanthropic adviser at London's poshest private bank. But is the world of the über-wealthy everything that it's cracked up to be?
At work, she's rubbing elbows with royals and taking champagne-fueled meetings with heirs; at home, her teething one-year-old is up at all hours of the night, and her husband's growing connection to his ex-girlfriend is raising suspicions.
Can Lucia juggle marriage, motherhood, and her dream job in a new country without losing herself? And can she make a difference in the world while she's at it?

SHORTLISTED FOR THE SCOTLAND'S NATIONAL BOOK AWARD FOR DEBUT FICTION FINALIST FOR THE LOS ANGELES TIMES BOOK PRIZE FOR FIRST FICTION 'Ambitious, wildly original ... it will trick and tease you to the bitter end.' THE TIMES 'Singular and potent ... Unsettling and sharply funny with carefully built-up layers of dis-ease in a comic deadpan.' GUARDIAN 'A masterclass in misdirection.' FINANCIAL TIMES 'Unsettling, puckish, and brilliantly written, this novel is an absolute one-off.' CLAIRE FULLER, Women's Prize shortlisted author of Unsettled Ground 'Magical, perplexing, and funny in a wholly original way.' RACHEL YODER, author of Nightbitch 'A remarkable, preternatural study of a family reckoning with its own history.' THE TELEGRAPH 'An acid trip of a novel. Weird, sinister and darkly funny.' AMY TWIGG, author of Spoilt Creatures 'An unforgettable narrative voice.' FRANCINE TOON, bestselling author of Pine As always with these things, it started with a birthday party. On a bright summer day in 1989 New England, Abi, three years old, vanishes from her aunt's secluded home. Upstairs, her young cousins are looking out of the window. Something is unfolding in the distance at the edge of the forest - something sinister that is watching them back. The adults don't seem to notice that the youngest of the group has disappeared. Too busy bickering over politics and reminiscing about the family's domineering late matriarch, Beezy, they leave the children with no choice but to get Abi back themselves. As the cousins embark on a quest through their grandmother's sprawling estate, buried family secrets come to light and long-awaited plans are set in motion. Will they lose themselves while trying to find her? Idle Grounds is a chilling, evocative and darkly comic debut about childhood, legacy, and the burdens and privileges we carry with us.

¿ 'A glossy fast-paced romance' The I Paper ¿ After a wave of royal scandals, American Lauren Morgan is whisked from the White House press office to Buckingham Palace to help improve the British monarchy's reputation. It's the fresh start she desperately needs - until she realises the Palace is a fortress of tradition, prickly aides, and rules that seem designed to trip her up. And then there are the distractions. Oscar, the disarmingly charming royal reporter she needs to keep on side. And the irresistibly charismatic Duke of Exeter, who is very much off-limits. As Lauren battles culture clashes, palace politics, and two dangerously tempting men, she finally begins to carve out her place - and maybe even her own story. But when someone from her past resurfaces and the headlines heat up, Lauren discovers the truth isn't so easy to spin. And the next scandal threatening the front pages might just involve her...

Royal Spin

1985. Anita de Monte, a rising star in the art world, is found dead in New York City; her tragic death is the talk of the town. Until it isn't. By 1998 Anita's name has been all but forgotten?certainly by the time Raquel, a third-year art history student is preparing her final thesis. On College Hill, surrounded by privileged students whose futures are already paved out for them, Raquel feels like an outsider. Students of color, like her, are the minority there, and the pressure to work twice as hard for the same opportunities is no secret. But when Raquel becomes romantically involved with a well-connected older art student, she finds herself unexpectedly rising up the social ranks. As she attempts to straddle both worlds, she stumbles upon Anita's story, raising questions about the dynamics of her own relationship, which eerily mirrors that of the forgotten artist. Moving back and forth through time and told from the perspectives of both women, Anita de Monte Laughs Last is a propulsive, witty examination of power, love, and art, daring to ask who gets to be remembered and who is left behind in the rarefied world of the elite.

Anita de Monte Laughs Last

You followed the rules.
You got the job.
You bought the house.

So why does it feel like you're losing?

For decades, men have been told that stability comes from obedience:

study hard, work late, take on debt, and trust that time will reward you.

But when you step back and look at the math - at the mortgages, the interest, the years traded away - the story doesn't hold.

The Old Money Blueprint is not a finance book in the modern sense.

It doesn't offer hacks, shortcuts, or motivational slogans. It is a long-form argument about how families quietly lose wealth over generations - and how a small number manage to build structures that endure.

Written for fathers and men who feel increasingly alienated by the standard path, this book examines the hidden assumptions behind "normal" life: education, careers, debt, consumption, and the unspoken expectations that shape them.

This book is not about becoming rich quickly.

It is about thinking in decades instead of quarters.

About building systems instead of chasing outcomes.

About accepting short-term difficulty in exchange for long-term freedom.

Some readers will find these ideas clarifying.
Most will find them uncomfortable.

Both are necessary for growth.

The Old Money Blueprint is meant to be read slowly, returned to, and lived with.

For those who recognize themselves in its pages, it becomes less a book about money - and more a blueprint for what kind of ancestor they intend to be.
