Charyn J: Maria La Divina

Maria La Divina

Who doesn't want a second chance at life? Read the original and moving literary gem for fans of Banana Yoshimoto and Kawaguchi's BEFORE THE COFFEE GETS COLD, with stunning illustrated endpapers. What if you could come back after death to watch over your loved one, installing yourself in a treasured mug, for example, or perhaps your mother's hearing aid, a diary, or even a climbing frame, to feel the clambering limbs of a beloved sister? Eleven recently deceased protagonists find themselves floating in the afterlife where a nameless ghost offers them a joyous reunion with their loved ones. But not as you would expect. In a world where souls linger restlessly around after death, unwilling to depart, The Soul Catchers is a comforting, witty, and surprisingly sensual take on the Japanese folk belief that objects can be inhabited by human presences. Utterly charming, Higashi's classic is an original exploration of our eternal reluctance to let go.

The Soul Catchers

When the disgraced Lord Byron is associated with the deaths of women in Venice, he turns detective to unveil the killer and clear his name.

West &nbsp; ‘What could so easily have been a risible premise for a novel becomes, in Fox’s expert hands, the starting point for an atmospheric thriller’ Sunday Times &nbsp; ‘As mesmerising and charismatic as Byron himself can ever have been … a magnificent gothic tale of scandal, secrets and murder’&nbsp;Janice Hallett &nbsp; ‘Evokes all the grimy charisma of eighteenth-century Venice … a mystery as sinuous as the city's alleys and canals. I was enthralled’&nbsp;Elizabeth Fremantle &nbsp; ‘A dark treat … splendidly gothic and impressively researched’&nbsp;Andrew Taylor &nbsp; ‘Essie Fox breathes new life into the “mad, bad and dangerous to know” Lord Byron as the notorious poet turns detective … Rich with decadent imagery and dark, gothic atmosphere,&nbsp;Dangerous&nbsp;intricately blends historical fact and fiction’ Culturefly &nbsp; ––––––– &nbsp; Fiction can be fatal… &nbsp; Living in exile in Venice, the disgraced Lord Byron revels in the freedoms of the city. &nbsp; SCANDAL &nbsp; But when he is associated with the deaths of local women, found with wounds to their throats, and then a novel called&nbsp;The Vampyre&nbsp;is published under his name, rumours begin to spread that Byron may be the murderer… &nbsp; MURDER &nbsp; As events escalate and tensions rise – and his own life is endangered, as well as those he holds most dear – Byron is forced to play detective, to discover who is really behind these heinous crimes. Meanwhile, the scandals of his own infamous past come back to haunt him… &nbsp; MYSTERY &nbsp; Rich in gothic atmosphere and drawing on real events and characters from Byron's life,&nbsp;Dangerous&nbsp;is a riveting, dazzling historical thriller, as decadent, dark and seductive as the poet himself… &nbsp; _________ &nbsp; ‘A plot as labyrinthine as the Venice backstreets, told in dazzling prose; suspenseful, seductive stuff’&nbsp;Erin Kelly &nbsp; ‘Brilliant, daring writing … a darkly delicious Venetian tale of murder and mystery’&nbsp;Anna Mazzola &nbsp; ‘Essie Fox expertly weaves fact and fiction in this gloriously gothic thriller … Venice becomes the atmospheric backdrop to Byron's daring attempt to catch a killer’&nbsp;Anita Frank &nbsp; ‘Sumptuous, entertaining and glorious’&nbsp;C.S.

Dangerous

The rivetingly tense and timely conclusion to the Arkady Renko series - an iconic character from a titan of the political crime thriller genre. When Arkady Renko is charged with investigating the murder of Alexei Kazasky, the Deputy Minister of Defence, he knows he has to tread carefully. Alexei Kazasky is a high-profile politician and has a complicated relationship with Putin. This investigation clearly has Kremlin approval, but, as with everything in Russia, things are not always what they seem. Already preoccupied with his developing Parkinson's, Arkady finds he has more to worry about. The war in Ukraine is gaining momentum, and his adopted son Zhenya has become involved with the Black Army, a Russo-Ukrainian group of hacktivists. Moreover, as Arkady digs deeper into Kazasky's murder, he realizes that the man's death may have been more politically motivated than he first assumed. Now it seems that the people behind the killing have him firmly in their crosshairs - but this time Arkady's life is not the only one on the line. PRAISE FOR MARTIN CRUZ SMITH: 'Does more on a page than most writers manage in a chapter. He is unique and irreplaceable' MICK HERRON 'Among the first of a new generation of writers who made thrillers literary' GUARDIAN 'One of those writers that anyone who is serious about their craft views with respect bordering on awe' VAL McDERMID¿ 'The undisputed master of the political crime thriller' ABIR MUKHERJEE 'One of the finest writers of our age' CHARLOTTE PHILBY&nbsp;

Ablutions

For fans of Elena Armas and Ali Hazelwood, an emotional second-chance romance set in small-town Massachusetts about best friends turned lovers whose past still threatens their future. Some loves destroy you. Some save you. Some do both. Alex thought that leaving her Massachusetts hometown for college would help her forget Jamie, the troubled boy who was her first friend, first kiss, and first heartbreak. But five years later, at twenty-three, she finds herself back home, staring at the same yellow shutters and red door, unable to outrun the past. Forced to attend her dreaded five-year high school reunion, Alex discovers an old journal hidden in her childhood bedroom. Over twenty-four hours, memories come flooding back: the spark of young love, Jamie’s chaotic family life, and the choices that shattered everything she thought she knew. But some secrets were never what they seemed. As Alex confronts the truth about Jamie and about herself, she must decide if love can’t change the past but might still rewrite her future. Poignant, nostalgic, and deeply emotional, The Enemy of Time is a love story about the ties that bind us, the ghosts we carry, and how a single moment can unravel everything you thought you knew about love, time, and fate.

Witty and wild' Harper's Bazaar 'A strange but uniquely beautiful concept of a love story that delves into care, compassion and what it is to be human' Stylist 'This is a sharp, funny and poignant look at what it means to connect with another being, and yourself' Weike Wang, New York Times Vi Liu's life is a mess. Having dropped out of college, she's stuck in a job she hates at a local hotel. Her ex-boyfriend has blocked her and she's lashing out at her family and co-workers. One night, drunk outside a drag club, she stumbles across a mysterious sentient blob. She takes it home, where she feeds it a diet of sugary cereal and reality TV. Slowly, she realises that she can shape the blob into her perfect man: someone attentive, outgoing and with more than a passing resemblance to Ryan Gosling. But is Bob the blob really the answer to all her problems, or a catalyst for further disaster? Sharp, strange and very funny, BLOB is a delightful story about growing up, fucking up and learning how to be a real person. 'Maggie Su's debut novel is nothing if not surprising.' The Times *Book of the Month* 'A modern-day Mrs. Caliban, BLOB is a book that looks at identity and desire in profoundly interesting ways' Kevin Wilson, author of Nothing to See Here 'Utterly original, charming and funny, weirdly real and really weird. I can't stop thinking about this book and I'm telling everyone I know to read it' Kate Davies, author of In at the Deep End

As she peels back the veil of lies that have shrouded the secret, she realises that she's close to uncovering something deadly serious. But someone is on her tracks, and they'll stop at nothing to reach the letter before she does . . .

But what about the revolution?' Intricately built and wickedly humorous, these five interconnected short stories are all about one thing: money. From an interview with a child-star-turned-thief to the mysterious death of an employee at a drug manufacturer - or the couple feigning marital bliss to keep their inheritance, Ia Genberg carefully unravels the value we place on both money and people. What does it really mean to be in debt to someone? How does our financial worth permeate the ways we think and feel? And what do we lose when we supposedly win? Small Comfort skewers its characters, slyly implicating the reader along the way. A brilliantly original and thought-provoking collection from the author and translator of The Details, shortlisted for the 2024 International Booker Prize. More praise for Small Comfort: 'A delightful and exquisitely executed literary mini-study that brings to mind Joan Didion' - Expressen 'Her humour and delight in language make the stories crackle with life' - Svenska Dagbladet 'I haven't read anything better this year' - Sydsvenskan 'Genberg captures, with intelligence and insight, the afflictions of our time' - Göteborgs-Poste Praise for Ia Genberg: 'Miraculous' - Hernan Diaz, author of Trust 'I wish I could write like this' - Fredrik Backman, author of A Man Called Ove 'So good that I kept underlining passages so I could reread them later' - Mark Haddon, author of The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time 'Mesmerizing and hot to the touch' - Catherine Lacey, New York Times
