NATIONAL BESTSELLER * LONGLISTED FOR THE 2026 CAROL SHIELDS PRIZE FOR FICTION * NEW YORK TIMES EDITORS’ CHOICE *&nbsp;REAL SIMPLE BEST BOOKS OF 2025 * SPOTIFY BEST DEBUTS OF 2025 * GOODREADS READERS’ MOST ANTICIPATED BOOKS OF FALL “Atmospheric and unforgettable.”—People A masterful debut novel following a spirited young woman’s explorations of faith, agency, and love in thirteenth-century Bruges. Aleys is sixteen years old and unusual: stubborn, bright, and prone to religious visions. She and her only friend, Finn, a young scholar, have been learning Latin together in secret—but just as she thinks their connection might become something more, everything unravels. When her father promises her in marriage to a merchant she doesn’t love, she runs away from home, finding shelter among the beguines, a fiercely independent community of religious women who refuse to answer to the Church. Among these hardworking and strong-willed women, Aleys glimpses for the first time the joys of belonging: a life of song, meaning, and friendship in the markets and along the canals of Bruges. But forces both mystical and political are at work. Illegal translations of scripture, the women’s independence, and a sudden rash of miracles all draw the attention of an ambitious bishop—and bring Aleys and those around her into ever-increasing danger, a danger that will push Aleys to a new understanding of love and sacrifice. Grounded in the little-told stories of medieval women—mystics, saints, anchoresses, and beguines—and introducing a major new talent, Canticle is a luminous work of historical fiction, vividly evoking a world on the verge of transformation.

Canticle

Power Plants offers an unflinching assessment of society's underappreciated but growing addiction to the industrial burning of crops and trees for energy. As vehicles increasingly run on fuels made from sugarcane and oil-palm, wood pellets replace coal, and scientists rush to engineer crops to produce renewable jet fuel, this book blows apart bioenergy's reputation as a simple, benign substitute for fossil fuels. Scrutinising modern bioenergy systems in the UK, Europe and United States, Power Plants shows how vegetal lifeforms are being enrolled to reinforce energy cultures centred around logics of efficiency, productivity and economic growth at all costs. Nonetheless, the book insists that a closer attention to plants could yet provoke a rethink of the social and economic purposes of all kinds of energy, with radical implications for ideas about growth, waste, prosperity and even pleasure.

THE IDEA MUSCLE
Train Your Mind to Think Bigger, Create More, and Act Faster
Most people wait for inspiration.
Successful creators, entrepreneurs, and innovators don't.
They train for ideas.
Just like your body gets stronger with exercise, your ability to generate ideas gets stronger with use. The more you challenge your mind, question assumptions, chase rabbit holes, and connect unexpected dots, the more powerful your thinking becomes.
The Idea Muscle is a collection of sharp, entertaining essays about curiosity, creativity, entrepreneurship, and the strange ways ideas shape our lives.
From youth baseball tournaments and long-distance runs to marketing experiments, media narratives, and the power of asking better questions, author C. Lowry explores what happens when you stop accepting the world as it is-and start thinking about how it could be better.
Inside this book you'll discover:
¿ Why ideas are a skill you can train, not a talent you're born with
 ¿ How curiosity and "rabbit holes" lead to breakthrough thinking
 ¿ Why action beats overthinking every single time
 ¿ The hidden connection between creativity, entrepreneurship, and daily habits
 ¿ How questioning assumptions can unlock entirely new opportunities
 ¿ Why the people who change the world think differently than everyone else
These essays are part philosophy, part storytelling, and part mental workout.
Some will make you laugh.
 Some will challenge your thinking.
 And a few might send you down a rabbit hole of your own.
One thing is certain:
Your brain is capable of far more ideas than you're currently using.
It's time to start training.
Welcome to The Idea Muscle. ¿¿¿¿

Career Comedown

The Princeton Economic History of the Western World

A study of the changes in wealth and its distribution in nineteenth- and twentieth-century Paris that maps the interplay among wealth, inequality, and welfare Successful economies sustain capital accumulation across generations, and capital accumulation leads to large increases in private wealth. In this book, Gilles Postel-Vinay and Jean-Laurent Rosenthal map the fluctuations in wealth and its distribution in Paris between 1807 and 1977. Drawing on a unique dataset of the bequests of almost 800,000 Parisians, they show that real wealth per decedent varied immensely during this period while inequality began high and declined only slowly. Parisians’ portfolios document startling changes in the geography and types of wealth over time. Postel-Vinay and Rosenthal’s account reveals the impact of economic factors (large shocks, technological changes, differential returns to wealth), political factors (changes in taxation), and demographic and social factors (age and gender) on wealth and inequality. Before World War I, private wealth was highly predictive of other indicators of welfare, including different forms of human capital, age at death, and access to local public goods. After World War I, public intervention reduced—but did not eliminate—the strong connection between wealth inequality and other forms of inequality. Over the two centuries covered, Paris and its wealth were on the vanguard of economic and social change that affected the rest of the country a generation later.

*Longlisted for the 2026 Women's Prize for Non-Fiction* 'Not simply a memoir. It is an indictment of failure at the highest levels of police, press and politics' Tom Watson 'Intensely personal ... turning fear into bravery and pain into power' Cosmopolitan 'A powerful memoir ... the astonishing story of her fight for justice' Guardian 'Outstanding, revelatory journalism and gripping memoir ... brave, jaw-dropping, unputdownable' Ramita Navai 'Stunning ... an extraordinary read, full of unimaginable courage and resilience ... wisdom, humility and humour' Julie Hesmondhalgh 'Deeply human, captivating, exposing and honest ... a must-read' Gina Martin 'There I was, working on a story with Jenny, without even suspecting she was the story' Nick Davies 'Courageous and honest and disturbing - it will empower and deeply move and it will anger too' Robin Ince 'There is deep tragedy here ... But this book is saved from bleakness by Evans's resilience and her practical, geekily obsessive approach to dealing with what happened to her' Hannah Lucinda Smith 'Intensely moving ... vital, wise, passionate' Ol Parker As profiled in the Guardian and on Radio 4 Woman's Hour Cast in a cult film at the age of eighteen, Jenny Evans was on the cusp of something extraordinary; a route out of her hometown, a future of promise. But the new world she was exploring crumbled around her when she was assaulted at a party by a high-profile figure. Jenny reported this crime to the police when she became aware of other allegations of violence against The Famous Man. Shortly after doing so, details of what she had experienced were printed in a tabloid newspaper. Jenny trained as a journalist herself to try to find out how this happened. In the aftermath of devastation, she picked up the pieces and fought back against the systems that caused her harm. Her investigation helped expose the jaw-dropping press abuse and police corruption we now call the 'phone-hacking scandal'. Now training as a lawyer, Jenny is still working to fight for justice in a system that so horrifically fails its victims. Don't Let it Break You, Honey is a reckoning: a personal, fiercely compelling account of power - who holds it, who wields it, who is silenced in the process. It asks urgent questions about fame, justice, and the institutions we have no choice but to trust, while offering something even more profound: hope. Because this is, above all, a story about resilience. About finding your voice when the world wants to silence you. And refusing to let them win.
