/ LF

The Last Witch on the Knock

The heartwarming Japanese bestseller about grief, love and a cat who will do anything to see his beloved owner again 'A much-needed dose of comfort and positivity' SHANNA TAN After a long and happy life with a loving human family, tabby cat Fuuta has passed into the afterlife. But he is not as far from his owner Michiru as it seems. Sometimes the divide between the lands of the living and the dead can be traversed. Eager to see Michiru again, Fuuta interviews for a position at Café Pont, which sits in the liminal space between the two worlds. The café is known for its unique service: its living customers can request meetings with the person they'd most like to see again, through the specially selected spirits of messenger cats. Fuuta must investigate and deliver his messages without unnerving the living, or worse, upsetting the balance of the universe itself. It is a weighty task for a tabby cat, but Fuuta rises to the challenge. After all, the job offers a special reward: he will get to see Michiru again. And he'll do anything to reunite with his family. Readers love Messenger Cat Cafe 'This book is so heartwarming... delightful!' ***** 'Softly magical and deeply comforting... A beautiful meditation on love that never truly ends' ***** 'What an absolutely gorgeous read this was!' ***** 'This book is so sweet. I loved all the little ways it reminds you to live, to love, and to stop regretting things that you cannot control or change' *****

Messenger Cat Café

the heartwarming and heartbreaking story of family, love and loss

Fun for the Whole Family

An atmospheric speculative suspense novel following a mysterious society offering its members the chance to relive the death of another person—and the self-destructive woman determined to uncover its secrets This ambitious, genre-bending debut is perfect for fans of time-travel ﬁction including Matt Haig’s The Midnight Library and Gareth Brown’s The Book of Doors A Publisher's Marketplace Spring/Summer 2026 Buzz Book! A People Best Books of February 2026! An Allstora Shelf Care Society Book Club Pick! For twenty years, Greta Davenport has lived with the guilt of surviving the accident that killed her parents. She’s tested the limits of her own mortality ever since, but little gives her the dopamine rush she craves. Not until the night she almost drunkenly crashes her car into a tree, and a peculiar blank card slides under her front door—an invitation to the Found Object Society. What she discovers there is beyond comprehension: an opulent, subterranean playground filled with aisles of objects from different eras and regions of the world. Pick an object and go on a voyage to relive the final moments of the person who died holding it, along with an unparalleled, irreplicable high. Greta’s hooked, but she can't quiet her questions about the society and its enigmatic creators, the answers to which have implications far beyond her growing dependence on the voyages. Death is addictive, and what she uncovers will put her entire life into question. A fever dream of a novel with episodic, time-traveling chapters told from multiple points of view, The Found Object Society examines the depraved whims of the ultrarich and the breadth of unresolved trauma—all while asking how grief and the choices we make in its aftermath can change the course of our lives. Michelle Maryk’s wholly original and ambitious debut opens an impeccably wrought speculative world of greed, power, and destiny.

The Found Object Society

WATERSTONES SCOTTISH BOOK OF THE MONTH (FEBRUARY 2026) 'Beguiling and elegiac' Lucy Steeds, author of The Artist 'A gritty tale of secrets, guilt and desire' Observer 'Completely enthralling' Lucy Rose, author of The Lamb 'An extraordinary sense of place and time, written by an exciting new voice' Radio Times (Best Books 2025) ____ 1915, the Cabrach. In the fierce, wild beauty of this remote corner of Scotland, an isolated community makes a discovery: an ancient body in a peat bog, perfectly preserved. Two people haul the body from the ground: Lizzie, the wife of a wealthy local landowner, and Johnny, a nomadic singer and farm hand. Soon afterwards, strange events begin to occur. At hearthside and inn, people whisper: what have we unearthed? As tensions run high and men leave for war, old fears and secrets emerge. But in a place where judgement is swift, who is truly without sin? 'A striking debut, filled with folkloric mystery and yearning' Amy Twigg, author of Spoilt Creatures 'Scapegoats, suspicion and secrets...a haunting picture of a small, intense environment where isolation can breed solidarity and warmth as easily as superstition and exclusion' Financial Times 'A simmering tale of outcasts and buried secrets, love and redemption' Danielle Giles, author of Mere 'A striking and atmospheric debut' The Times 'Sets a beautifully atmospheric scene from its opening lines to its final moments' PA MEDIA WHAT READERS ARE SAYING: 'An earthy, folkloric tale, where superstition is rife...a captivating read. Highly recommended' 'A gothic literary experience, rural and immersive, that thrums with tension, mystery and forbidden love' 'A deeply immersive reading experience, and one of the best elements of this book is how the atmosphere and environment of rural scotland, the small farms, the fields, the bog, the changing of seasons - nature itself becomes a character' 'Beautifully written, chilling and disturbing, the book is an engrossing read from start to finish' 'Sometimes you come across a book that is note perfect; very readable and entirely relatable but still beautifully, poetically written. This is such a complete novel, it is hard to believe it is the author's debut' 'This was a stunningly beautiful novel. Dark and creepy and wonderfully realised, and the character voices were next-level good'

Greater Sins

This is a study of elite English men of English law and the methods they used to retain and justify their power and privilege, through controlling the story of the legal person. It looks at how these men of legal authority thought of themselves and their institution; how they studied and explained law; and how they put themselves in the middle of it, as the standard human in need of legal regulation and protection and in charge of that regulation and protection, and assigned to women an inferior legal role and being. The main strategy used to do all this was manipulation of the concept of 'the legal person'. From the 1860s to the 1920s the courts declared that women were not 'persons' who could exercise public power - to vote, to sit in Parliament, to gain degrees, to be lawyers. Up to the end of the 20th century, and into the 21st, women's personhood remained precarious in the private sphere, for rape was excused within a marriage and female reproduction remained under state control (as it still does). The book examines the active exclusion of women from the means of making legal meaning, especially the ability to shape law's central concept and shows the epistemological effects of this sex differential of legal power which are still felt today. Leading legal thinkers who helped to masculinise the concept of the person, to the detriment of women, are still revered. Law's continuing male orientation is neither seen nor acknowledged and the legal person is treated (falsely) as if he had always been and remains anyone.

She explores the metaverse, confronts deepfake pornography, travels to cyber brothels, tests chatbots, and hears from schools in the grip of online sexual abuse, showing how our lives - from education to work, sex to entertainment - are being infiltrated by easily accessible technologies that are changing the way we live and love.

The New Age of Sexism

Every #tradwife needs a baby. Camille will get one - no matter the cost. Camille lives to embody the perfect traditional wife-cooking, cleaning, homesteading, and documenting it all for her followers. But without a baby, her image-and her following-feels incomplete. As Camille's husband begins to withdraw and his attention in her waning, Camille's desperation deepens. When Camille discovers a crumbling well hidden in the wheat field behind her new house, she is drawn to it, despite its proximity to an intimidating local forest. Unsure of what else to do, she makes a wish. Soon, she's haunted by vivid dreams she believes are divine. Then something visits her-something not quite angelic. Her belly swells unnaturally fast. Her cravings turn raw. And yet, her announcement goes viral. But as Camille's influence grows, so does the horror inside her. The life she always wanted is finally within reach... if it doesn't consume her first.

'Tender, transporting, creative and beautifully written ... Simply glorious, from start to finish' Rachel Clarke, author of Dear Life Simultaneously heart-breaking and darkly hilarious, Leaving Home is a portrait of the artist both as a child and as an adult. Mark Haddon's parents were not really cut out for the job of having children. They were cut out, respectively, for the jobs of designing abattoirs and keeping a pathologically clean and tidy house. At least Mark had the consolations of The Weetabix Solar System Wallchart, walnut whips and the occasional Babycham. Astringently honest and scalpel sharp, this is a book about being different and seeing the world differently. It's about being a cartoonist and a care assistant. It's about family. It's about how art, in all its varied forms, provides a way of understanding and coming to terms with the mess of human life. And it's richly illustrated throughout with images from the author's childhood. As bracing as it is embracing, Leaving Home is about escaping a place that never felt like home and learning to create somewhere that does. 'I loved this funny, melancholy and arrestingly original memoir of an artist's coming into being' Sarah Perry, author of Enlightenment

Together with his AI companion Cortana and the last remaining Spartans, the galaxy-spanning fight rages on two fronts following the destruction of the human military stronghold Reach by Covenant forces and the mysterious artificial ringworld known as 'Halo' at the hands of the Master Chief"--Back cover.

HALO: First Strike

What if we&nbsp;did&nbsp;abolish police, courts or prisons? Where would we turn for justice? Do we need to have laws? Punishment? These questions are not just the preoccupation of an abolitionist pipedream. Their answers exist already, if only we know where to look.

We Make Our Own Justice&nbsp;introduces the reader to communities around the world who are already resolving harms and conflicts themselves, without looking to the state or judiciary. The book explores a number of locations where alternative forms of justice, peace-keeping and adjudication are taking place. With particular focus on indigenous- and women-led movements from across Mexico, Argentina, Rojava and the USA, Marina Sitrin looks at how each came to be, as well as the theoretical and political underpinnings of the process.

The book allows the reader to reflect on the ways in which the seeds of these alternative forms of justice and adjudication have been planted and nurtured over time-often over decades-and to consider the possibilities for other communities and regions to produce something similar.&nbsp;We Make Our Own Justice&nbsp;offers an invaluable resource as we seek to transform our neighbourhoods, groups and communities into abolitionist spaces in theory and practice.
