THE INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER ONE OF NEW SCIENTIST'S BEST NEW SCIENCE BOOKS OF THE YEAR SO FAR: 'An insider's must-read book.' 'From the scientist who identified the remains of Richard III, this lively, myth-busting tour of modern genetics unpacks how DNA solves crimes, rewrites history and shapes our lives. It brims with timely questions about what our genes can (and can't) reveal.' - i-paper 'Unequivocally expert.' Sunday Times 'Combines fascinating history and science with brilliant storytelling' - Professor Alice Roberts, anatomist and bestselling author of Domination 'A glimpse into the fascinating world of DNA under the guidance of a true expert...Accessible, enjoyable and thought provoking.' - Professor Sue Black, forensic scientist and bestselling author of All That Remains -------------- DNA has become one of the most powerful tools in modern science; From unlocking crime and immigration cases, to ensuring our food and animal safety, to resolving questions of history and archaeology, ancestry and even, for some, identity. In this eye-opening book, Professor Turi King - the scientist who identified the remains of Richard III in a Leicester car park - uncovers how genetics is changing the way we understand the world. Through compelling real-life cases, she shows how DNA has solved crimes, rewritten history, and reshaped ideas of who we are. From the O. J. Simpson trial to mistaken dinosaur DNA, from Dolly the sheep to Angelina Jolie's BRCA1 gene, King brings genetics to life with fascinating examples that reveal what DNA can - and can't - tell us about who we are. She reminds us that while our DNA can reveal a predisposition to certain diseases and conditions, it doesn't determine our future. And, perhaps most importantly, she shows why we all need to be part of the conversation about how new genetic discoveries are used for the benefit of life on Earth. Compelling, compassionate, and entirely captivating, The Secrets of Our DNA is the must-read book about how genetics has changed - and is changing - the world.

How Genetics has Changed the World

The Secrets of our DNA

In The Unknowable Body, Lisa Jean Moore explores the profound disconnect between how we experience our bodies and how the medical world interprets them. Drawing on her own journey through DCIS diagnosis, mastectomy, and reconstruction - alongside her family's navigation of her ex-partner's brain tumour - Moore investigates various unsettling dimensions of bodily uncertainty that emerge when illness enters our lives. As scans revealed secrets that human perception failed to, and while navigating a queer family system that didn't fit institutional categories, the author found herself in territory few roadmaps could chart. This book weaves candid humour and poetic personal narrative and analytical vision to examine how bodies resist complete knowing - medically, emotionally, in time, and through gender and identity. It offers new ways of thinking about embodiment in an age of increasing medical surveillance, technological intervention, and economically profitable uncertainty. What began as an investigation into cancer treatment evolved into a deeper exploration of how bodies exceed our frameworks for understanding. Whether through scans that simultaneously reveal and obscure, emotional reverberations that transform family systems, temporal disruptions that fracture our sense of before and after, or gender expectations that shape medical encounters, our bodies remain fundamentally mysterious even as we attempt to make them knowable. This thought-provoking, enriching book isn't just about illness, but about how all bodies exist in states of becoming and evade categories.

The Unknowable Body

Etsy Beaucarne is an academic who needs to get published. So when a journal written in 1912 by Arthur Beaucarne, a Lutheran pastor and her grandfather, is discovered within a wall during renovations, she sees her chance. She can uncover the lost secrets of her family, and get tenure. As she researches, she comes to learn of her grandfather, and a Blackfeet called Good Stab, who came to Arthur to share the story of his extraordinary life. The journals detail a slow massacre, a chain of events charting the history of Montana state as it formed. A cycle of violence that leads all the way back to 217 Blackfeet murdered in the snow. A blood-soaked and unflinching saga of the violence of colonial America, a revenge story like no other, and the chilling reinvention of vampire lore from the master of horror.

The Buffalo Hunter Hunter

Wry and exhilarating, Chutzpah is a fearless exploration of what is possible when one person simply refuses to choose between abandoning their roots and abandoning themselves. LONGLISTED FOR THE 2026 WINGATE PRIZE "Clear-sighted and courageous, with an extremely dry sense of humour" DAVID BADDIEL, author of Jews Don't Count "A gutting, brave story, written with exquisite candour." Dr. Sara Glass, author of Kissing Girls on Shabbat Yehudis Fletcher was six years old when she decided to find out if there was actually a G-d. One Sabbath evening, she dared to defy a fundamental rule. She didn't wash her hands before breaking bread. At the table, Yehudis braced herself for a terrible, biblical punishment: being swallowed by the ground or consumed by fire. But nothing happened. It was at this moment that she discovered a spark within that would grow to make her invincible. As the daughter of a rabbi raised in an Orthodox Jewish community, Yehudis struggled to conform to the strict expectations placed upon her and her siblings. Outspoken, curious and desperate to know more about G-d, she felt fenced in by arbitrary rules and questions left unanswered. As she grew older, these restrictions intensified and her questions for G-d hung heavier than ever. Repeatedly let down by those who were supposed to protect her and pushed on to a path that seemed to take her further away from who she really was, she began to yearn for a life where she could embrace all facets of herself. When Yehudis's sexuality came to blows with the expectations of her family and her community, the pressure to inhabit a binary position reached fever pitch. Confronted with either losing the faith she loved or losing herself, Yehudis made the most daring decision of all: she decided to stay. "Chutzpah is a brilliant and fascinating insight into an ultra-orthodox Jewish community." Harriet Wistrich, author of Sister in Law "Yehudis's resilience is truly inspirational." Ashley Blaker, author of Normal Schmormal

NATIONAL BESTSELLER • An exhilarating novel about one American family and the dark moment that shatters their suburban paradise, from the New York Times bestselling author of Fleishman Is in Trouble A BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR: The New York Times Book Review, Oprah Daily, The New Yorker, Time, The Washington Post, NPR, Vogue, Town &amp; Country, New York Post, Harper’s Bazaar, Elle, Parade, Kirkus Reviews “The best book about America I’ve read lately . . . The novel concerns being Jewish, being an immigrant, class, family, wealth, and how that wealth can disfigure people. It’s all terribly funny, which always helps.”—David Sedaris for Time, “25 Books That Capture This American Moment” “Joins the pantheon of great American novels.”—Los Angeles Times “Exuberant and absorbing . . . a big old-fashioned social novel.”—The Atlantic In 1980, a wealthy businessman named Carl Fletcher is kidnapped from his driveway, beaten, and ransomed. He is returned to his wife and kids less than a week later, and the family moves on, comforted in the realization that if their money was what endangered them, it is also what assured their safety. But forty years later, it’s clear that nobody ever got over anything, after all. Carl has secretly sought closure for decades, while his wife, Ruth, has spent her potential protecting her husband’s emotional health. Their three grown children aren’t doing much better: Nathan’s chronic anxiety keeps him from advancing at his law firm; Beamer, a Hollywood screenwriter, will consume anything—drugs, food, women—to numb his terror; and Jenny is so bent on proving that she’s not a product of her family’s pathology that she has come to define it. When they learn that the family fortune has dwindled to just about nothing, they must face questions about the part wealth has played in their lives’ successes and failures and confront the trauma that has stunted each of them. With depth and surprising hilarity, Long Island Compromise winds through one family’s history, all the way to the outrageous present, confronting the mainstays of American Jewish life: tradition, the pursuit of success, the terror of history, old wives’ tales, evil eyes, achievement, boredom, pyramid schemes, right-wing capitalists, beta blockers, and the mostly unspoken love and shared experience that unite a family forever.

The Glittering Edge

The hotly-anticipated sequel to the unputdownable gothic contemporary fantasy The Glittering Edge. Return to a world where magic is real, witches make irresistible boyfriends, and keeping secrets is dangerous-but not as dangerous as the truth. With the feuding families of Romeo and Juliet, the dark magic of Krystal Sutherland and a love triangle to rival The Inheritance Games. Penny Emberly didn't expect to fall head over heels for Alonso De Luca last summer-or to discover that he's a witch. Together with their friend Corey Barrion, they managed to save her mother from a deadly spell. Now autumn has arrived, and Penny believes they can take on anything. But darkness is descending on the small town of Idlewood. Corey is desperate to undo the bloody legacy that made his family rich. The price, however, is steep: to unravel the magical bargain made by his grandfather, Corey must take a life. As Corey wrestles with an impossible choice, Alonso begins to change. The more he pushes the limits of his magic, the more volatile, violent, and possessive he becomes. When tragedy strikes one of their classmates, the trio is forced to confront a terrifying question: is Alonso being consumed by something that's bent on the destruction of everyone around him? As supernatural forces drive them apart, Penny, Corey, and Alonso must decide what they're willing to sacrifice before more blood is spilled-even if it means losing each other.

SHORTLISTED FOR THE NERO AWARD 2026 Readers are falling hard for Cursed Daughters... 'ABSOLUTELY RIVETING!!' 'Will hook you from start to finish... I read in two days!' 'Oh my gosh this book is so good!'' 'I cannot express how much I adored this book - like truly, madly, deeply adored it' Your daughters are cursed. They will pursue men, but the men will be like water in their palms. Your granddaughters will love in vain. Your daughters, your daughter's daughters, and all the women to come will suffer for man's sake... Eniiyi has heard about the family curse her whole life. She's never believed in it. She's also heard, her whole life, that she is the reincarnation of her dead aunt, Monife. Same eyes, same left hand, same scar in the same place. She's never believed in that, either. Then she falls in love with a handsome local boy, and Monife begins to appear to Eniiyi: in her dreams, on the beach, in the mirror, pulling her, it seems, towards the same terrible fate. Can Eniiyi live her life on her own terms, or is history - and the curse - repeating itself? 'Funny and fearless, soaked in secrets, spirit, heartbreak, and love...

Cursed Daughters

*Shortlisted for the Wainwright Prize* 'A fascinating exploration of the linkages between ancestral inheritance, diasporic belonging, and our climate future... I read it in one sitting, which took me on a moving and often unexpected journey' Aube Rey Lescure 'Part of me knew what the hungry ghosts wanted all along, what they still want. It is not vengeance. No, they want something else, but we refuse to listen. They want us to face up to our broken obligations.' Every spring during the Qingming Festival, people return to their home villages in China to sweep the tombs of their ancestors, making offerings of food and incense to prevent them from becoming hungry ghosts that could cause misfortune. Yet for the past century, a time ruptured by war and revolution, many tombs have been left unattended. Following a record year of wildfires, Alice Mah returns to her family's rice village in South China, and discovers that her ancestors are almost forgotten, and there are no tombs left to sweep. Instead, there are incalculable clan debts to be paid. Here Mah chronicles her journey from the rice villages of South China to her home in post-industrial England, through the Chinatowns of Western Canada where she grew up, to the isles and industry of Scotland where she now lives. As years pass and fires rage on, she becomes increasingly troubled by her ancestors' neglected graves. Her research on pollution gives way to growing eco-anxiety, culminating in a crisis of spiritual belief. A haunting blend of memoir, cultural history and environmental exploration, Red Pockets confronts the hungry ghosts of our neglected ancestors, while searching for an acceptable offering. What do we owe to past and future generations? What do we owe to the places that we inhabit?
