Clanchy K: Meeting the English

Meeting the English

Mairéad, a child-free talent agency head, has her orderly life upended when her estranged sister's daughter comes to stay after a mysterious accident. What begins as a temporary arrangement soon throws everything into question. 'I adored this lovely debut about an off-grid child and her sophisticated urban aunt' Wendy Holden, Daily Mail 'Warm and funny, what a joy!' Jessica Stanley, author of Consider Yourself Kissed 'Sharp and funny and full of quirk and heart' Francesca Segal 'Superb. Brilliant. I adored it... Esther Walker is smart and so funny' Georgia Toffolo 'It's a page-turner' Spectator Mairéad is single, child-free and head of a successful influencer talent agency. The young people at work may be mean to her, she hasn’t seen her only sister for nine years and she’s one bad date away from giving up on men completely – but other than that, she’s got life sorted. Until Sunshine shows up. When her militant, off-grid sister has a mysterious accident, Mairéad’s inscrutable niece comes to stay, turning life upside down. It’s just for a couple of weeks – surely Mairéad can manage that? But Sunshine makes her look at every single aspect of her life with different eyes. And Mairéad’s afraid nothing will be the same again. 'Walker offers smart, peppy humour and good comic characters who power her tale along with brio' The Times

Well, This Is Awkward

In this semi-autobiographical novel, La Maison, Emma Becker recounts her two years working in a Berlin brothel, seeking both income and literary inspiration. With frankness and emotional depth, she explores not only her sexual encounters but the bonds, routines, and quiet strength shared among the women who work there. Blending memoir and fiction, Becker challenges stereotypes about sex work and offers a bold, compassionate look at desire, agency, and female solidarity. In this bold and intimate semi-autobiographical novel, La Maison, Emma Becker transports the reader behind the closed doors of a Berlin brothel, where she worked for two years not only to earn a living, but to immerse herself in a world she wanted to understand – and to write about with unflinching honesty. What emerges is a deeply personal, unsentimental, and often surprising account of life inside the brothel, where Becker explores not just the physical aspects of sex work, but the emotional, psychological, and social complexities that shape it. With frankness and literary insight, she recounts her encounters with clients, her growing self-awareness, and, most poignantly, the friendships and solidarity she finds among the other women who work there. Far from reducing sex work to cliché or voyeurism, Becker gives space to the quiet routines, shared laughter, private pain, and hard-won dignity of a profession often misunderstood and rarely written about from the inside. Part memoir, part sociological study, and wholly literary, La Maison challenges preconceptions about sex, agency, and femininity, offering a provocative and compassionate exploration of what it means to inhabit multiple identities—as worker, writer, woman, and witness.

Inside a Berlin Brothel: A Literary Novel of Sex Work, Identity, and Survival

Maison

One of The New York Times' 100 Best Books of the 21st Century. International bestseller. A Manual for Cleaning Women compiles the best work of the legendary short-story writer Lucia Berlin. One of The New York Times' 100 Best Books of the Twenty-First Century and a classic of short fiction, Lucia Berlin's A Manual for Cleaning Women was a global sensation upon its publication in 2015, eleven years after its author's death. Largely unheralded throughout her peripatetic life, Berlin was a fiction writer of staggering, singular genius. With the grit of Raymond Carver, the humor of Grace Paley, and a blend of wit and melancholy all her own, Berlin crafted miracles from the everyday, uncovering moments of grace in the Laundromats and halfway houses of the American Southwest, in the homes of the Bay Area upper class, among switchboard operators and struggling mothers, hitchhikers and bad Christians. Written over the course of thirty years, the forty-three stories in A Manual for Cleaning Women-collected here in a 10th anniversary edition-are short fiction at its most unforgettable and original, told with unmistakable style by a master of the form.

Follet Valley

Saint-Sauver, home to Richard Ainsworth and Valérie d'Orçay's detective agency, is celebrating the 25th anniversary of its town twinning with Anglethorp Spa in Lincolnshire. Events are planned, a huge brocante, street parties and the centrepiece, an exhibition boules tournament between the two towns and a team of international boules all-stars. Everything is going well, the sun shines, the wine flows and the entente is very cordiale. Until the mayor turns up dead in an antique dresser having apparently been killed twice. Inevitably Richard and Valérie have very different views on the subject and engage in their own battle: who will solve the crime first?

“Shea Ernshaw is the queen of storytelling that is as haunting and dreamlike as it is intimate and grounded.” —Melissa Albert, New York Times bestselling author The second adult novel from New York Times bestselling author Shea Ernshaw, in which a woman rediscovers the mythical island she stumbled upon as a child—and the man she once met who apparently hasn’t aged—and must choose between the life she’s built and a love that defies the laws of time and nature. &gt; When the island vanishes overnight, Ellie is left questioning whether it ever existed at all. But decades later, the island resurfaces—and Ellie, now in her thirties, returns, determined to uncover the truth. What she finds is even stranger: Clay hasn’t aged a single day. Faced with the impossible, Ellie learns that some mysteries aren’t meant to be solved—and that a life shaped by wonder may hold more promise than one bound by certainty. Spanning centuries and coastlines, Habits of the Sea is a haunting, romantic journey through time, memory, and the invisible tides that pull us home.

A Novel

Habits of the Sea

Fremde und Brüder

Snows Romanwerk, dessen Handlung sich vom Beginn des Ersten Weltkriegs bis in die Zeit der Studentenunruhen von 1968 erstreckt, zeichnet - in der Rückschau des pensionierten Hochschullehrers Lewis Eliot und dabei autobiografisch getönt - den Lebensweg eines britischen Akademikers aus der Mittelschicht durch die sogenannten "corridors of power" nach: von Eliots Jugend in eher bescheidenen Verhältnissen in einer englischen Provinzstadt über seine Karriere als Anwalt in London, als Beamter, als Dozent in Cambridge. Dabei bieten die Romane eine tiefgründige Untersuchung der britischen Arbeitswelt des 20. Jahrhunderts und deren Institutionen sowie des komplexen Zusammenspiels zwischen dem Privatleben und dem Streben nach Ansehen in Beruf und Öffentlichkeit - entlang all der vielen Fallstricke moralischer Entscheidungen und vor dem Hintergrund sozialer Spannungsgeflechte und weltpolitischer Veränderungen. Dabei erzählt Snow clever und nicht selten amüsant. Seine liebevoll ausgearbeiteten Charaktere binden die einzelnen Romane, die auch separat gut lesbar sind, in geradezu Proust'scher Manier aneinander.
Im dritten Teil der Romanreihe, der im Original 1958 erschien, gibt der Erzähler Einblicke in die Welt einer großen britischen Bankiersdynastie zwischen 1927 und 1936. Durch seine Freundschaft zu Charles March, dem Sohn und Erben des jüdischen Bankhauses March, mit dessen Familie verbunden, stehen Lewis Eliot die Auswirkungen der sozialen und politischen Veränderungen auf die reiche und traditionsbewusste Familie direkt vor Augen. Vor dem Hintergrund des Aufstiegs von Kommunismus und Faschismus sowie der Vorbereitung Großbritanniens auf einen neuen Krieg stehen allerhand private Krisen: Charles bricht seine vielversprechende juristische Karriere zugunsten der ihm nützlicher erscheinenden Medizin ab, seine Schwester Catherine verliebt sich in einen Nichtjuden, sein Onkel wird in zwielichtige politische Geschäfte verwickelt, und die Familie fällt langsam auseinander ...
