Ancestor Memories

Passage to Tokyo

From London to Los Angeles, Berlin and Tokyo, Nothing Good Happens After 2 a.m. is a story of friendship, ambition, creativity - and something more.

Nothing Good Happens After 2AM

Brilliantly written, masterful storytelling, and hard to put down. This story will stay with me for a very, very long time' HEATHER MORRIS, author of The Tattooist of Auschwitz As a child, Little Flower is sold to Linjing's wealthy family to become a muizai. In a fit of childish jealousy over her new handmaiden's ladylike bound feet and talent for embroidery, Linjing ensures Little Flower can never leave her to ascend in society. Despite their starkly different places in the Fong household, over the years the two girls must work together to secure both their futures through Linjing's marriage. As the two grow up, they are by turns bitter rivals and tentative friends. Until scandal strikes the family, and Linjing and Little Flower's lives are unexpectedly thrown into chaos. Linjing's fall from grace could be an opportunity for Little Flower - but will their intertwined fates lead to triumph, or tragedy for them both?

The Lotus Shoes

Two lovers plot a daring heist in this atmospheric noir about fate and fortune on the fringes of the American dream.
Post-war Riverton has little to offer Richard, a mild-mannered loner working a dead-end job at Eddy &amp; Dowd Safe Deposit Company. When he meets Marlon, a smooth-talking confidence man, Richard finds his partner in crime. Passions ignite between the men, and together, they hatch a plan to rob the vault at Eddy &amp; Dowd-a once-in-a-lifetime score that will fund their escape to the Big City, where they can live and love as they desire.
Their plans are complicated by Gloria, a recent divorcée scheming her own route to wealth; Frank Todd, a disgraced ex-cop desperate to restore his reputation; and the paranoid Mr. Dowd, a tycoon scrambling to hold onto his crumbling empire. As Richard and Marlon race towards their destiny, reckless violence threatens both their plans and their devotion to each other.
Inspired by the iconic lexicon and unsparing storytelling of Raymond Chandler and Patricia Highsmith, The Longest Death weaves a twisted morality tale about what it means to love someone at any cost.

The Longest Death

Pre-order the latest book from the Booker Prize-winning author of Lincoln in the Bardo - a playful, wise, electric novel taking place at the bedside of an oil company CEO, in the twilight hours of his life, as he is ferried from this world into the next 'He will be read long after these times have passed' Zadie Smith Not for the first time, Jill "Doll" Blaine finds herself hurtling toward earth, reconstituting as she falls, right down to her favourite black pumps. She plummets towards her newest charge, yet another soul she must usher into the afterlife, and lands headfirst in the circular drive of his ornate mansion. She has performed this sacred duty three hundred and forty-three times since her own death. Her charges, as a rule, have been greatly comforted in their final moments. But this charge, she soon discovers, isn't like the others: The powerful K.J. Boone will not be consoled, because he has nothing to regret. He lived a big, bold life, and the world is better for it. Isn't it? Vigil transports us, careening, through the wild final evening of an epic, complicated life. Crowds of people and animals - worldly and otherworldly, alive and dead - arrive, clamouring for a reckoning. Birds swarm the dying man's room, a black calf grazes on the loveseat, a man from a distant drought-ravaged village materialises, two oil-business cronies from decades past show up with chilling plans for Boone's post-death future. With the acuity and explosive imagination we've come to expect, George Saunders takes on the gravest issues of our time - the menace of corporate greed, the toll of capitalism, the environmental perils of progress - and, in the process, spins a tale that encompasses life and death, good and evil, and the thorny question of absolution.

Vigil

"The answer is to become shameless," she concluded. "How can you shame a shameless woman?" BRIDGET JONES MEETS KARL MARX 'A one-woman literary-political movement' INDEPENDENT 'Kandasamy's work becomes more bold and exciting with each new book' SKINNY 'There has never been a book quite like this' IRISH TIMES Amrita has a past. In London, she goes by Amy - the cool girl who's woker than you - but spends most days gallivanting with the other Little India rich kids. Until an AI porno of her 'forwarded many times' by meddling WhatsApp aunties suddenly appears everywhere for millions to view. Within a day, she's being publicly stoned in the digital town square by an anonymous operation of Hindu extremist incels. Together with her allies including her suitably poor and dark bestie, a fling nicknamed the Child Solider, and the insufferable trustafarian India, the unlikely trio take a page out of the Kardashian workbook and flip the script. Will it work, or has the bait unknowingly fed herself into the belly of an underground beast that will not rest until she, too, is below ground? How far are you actually willing to go for what you say you believe in? For readers of Fundamentally and I'M A FAN, Fieldwork as a Sex Object is a novel about having skin in the game, leaving no stone unthrown back at the incel manosphere and and its hand in the rise of fascism. -- 'Defies all expectations' BERNARDINE EVARISTO 'So so good. One of the best of the year' NIKESH SHUKLA 'Thank god for writing like this' MAX PORTER

A novel of incels, influencers and AK-47s from the Women's Prize-shortlisted author

Fieldwork as a Sex Object

NATIONAL BESTSELLER"Alice Austen uses her considerable gifts to remind us that the past and the present are more connected than we wish to believe, and that vigilance, loyalty and art hold the key to survival. This is a beautiful and deeply engaging novel." — Ann Patchett, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Tom LakeAn outstanding debut novel—a love story, mystery, and philosophical puzzle, told in the singular voices of the residents of a Beaux Arts apartment house in Belgium during World War II.On the eve of the Nazi occupation, in the heart of Brussels, life for the residents of 33 Place Brugmann is about to change forever.Charlotte Sauvin, an art student raised by her beloved architect father in apartment 4L, knows all the details of the building and its people: how light falls on wood floors and voices echo off the marble staircase, the distinct knock of her dear friend, Julian Raphaël, the son of the art dealer’s family across the hall. Then the Raphaëls disappear, leaving everything behind but their priceless art collection, which has simply vanished.All else that’s familiar fractures when whispers of German occupation become reality, and the lives of the residents grow increasingly intertwined. Charlotte’s godmother Masha, a beautiful seamstress living upstairs, deepens her risky affair with a wartime compatriot of Colonel Warlemont in 3L—a man far more calculating than his neighbors believe. When a Nazi functionary with an interest in the Raphaëls moves into the building, knowing who can and cannot be trusted becomes a matter of life and death.In the face of their perilous new reality, every member of this accidental community will discover they are not the person they believed themself to be. When confronted with a cruel choice—submit to the regime or risk their lives to save one another—each learns the truth about what, and who, matters to them the most.A propulsive and exquisitely written tour de force, 33 Place Brugmann champions the restorative power of love, courage, and art in times of great threat.
