/ LF

The Last Witch on the Knock

'This book will stay with me for a very long time' Reader review, ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ 'Heartbreaking' Reader review, ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ 'It took my breath away' Reader review, ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ 'You will be gripped from page 1' Reader review, ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ The Instant Irish Bestseller How do you survive the unsurvivable? Rachel lives with her husband Tom and their two children: it's the ordinary family life she always thought she'd have. All of that changes in an instant - when Tom runs the family car off the road, seeking to end his own life, and take his wife and children with him. Suddenly Rachel is left poring over the wreckage to try and understand what happened - to find a way to go on living afterwards. 'Outstanding, and has lingered in my head for a very long time' Prima 'A searingly beautiful novel' Jennie Godfrey, author of The List of Suspicious Things Winner of The Irish Book Awards Newcomer of the Year 2025

The searingly beautiful debut novel about loss and learning how to live again

Show Me Where It Hurts

The powerful and evocative story of a young West Indian man's search for home in 1960s London - by the multi-award-winning author dubbed 'one of the literary giants of our time' (New York Times) **A Guardian book to look forward to in 2025** 'A masterful stylist writing at the top of his powers' Anthony Joseph 'An engrossing, artfully constructed chronicle of lives tragically unfulfilled' Mail on Sunday 'A remarkable achievement' Washington Post 'A moving, accomplished study of the vulnerabilities carried and concealed by human beings on their journeys throughout the world' Financial Times ____________________________________________ In the early Sixties, Victor 'Lucky' Johnson arrives in London from St Kitts, with dreams of becoming a journalist. Lucky soon finds work first at an Irish pub in Notting Hill - then as a rent collector for an unscrupulous slum landlord Peter Feldman. Shadowing Lucky from his early struggles in London to the present day, Caryl Phillips paints a striking portrait of a flawed but vividly alive man grappling with the lifelong disillusionments of exile - and the uniquely complicated identity of the Windrush generation. Another Man in the Street is an unforgettable story of loss, displacement, belonging, and the triumph of Black resilience - epic in scope and yet profoundly intimate; and a radical and timely portrait of immigrant London. ___________________________________________________ Praise for Caryl Phillips 'One of Britain's pre-eminent writers' Guardian 'One of the literary giants of our time' New York Times 'Phillips is a linguistic and cultural virtuoso' The Times

Another Man in the Street

Together these hundred writers, their hundred voices, sing out together to create a glorious chorus of three centuries of Russian short stories. Reviews for Sergei Lebedev: 'One of Russia's most interesting young novelists' Anne Applebaum 'Lebedev is arguably the best of Russia's younger generation of writers' New York Review of Books 'One of modern Russia's finest writers' Philippe Sands

Defiant Voices

*A Radio 4 Book of the Week*'Captivating, mind-boggling and deeply disturbing' - Maureen Freely'Humane, thoughtful and urgent - this book will make you think, make you laugh, make you cry, but also make you burn with rage' - Dr Mary WellesleyA thought-provoking deep dive into the global fertility industry and the commodification of the maternal body__________Should surrogacy be a paid service, an altruistic act - or even legal at all?Is it right that you can pay more for 'VIP' egg donors - and to view their photos?How much, if anything, should breastmilk cost - and who should be allowed to buy it?The global fertility industry is rapidly growing, hugely profitable and morally complex. This an industry where one person's biological bad luck can be another person's financial gain. From egg freezing to black-market breastmilk, the maternal body has never been more commodified, yet the ethical, emotional and economic implications are rarely considered.Through a combination of undercover reporting and detailed first-hand accounts Alev Scott exposes how the IVF, surrogacy and milk industries operate around the world and who is profiting. In doing so, she considers the blurred line between exploitation and empowerment. Who should make money from the maternal body: only the women themselves, anyone or no one?Timely, thought-provoking and compelling, Cash Cow is an unmissable investigation into how desire, desperation and commerce intersect, and the impact the fertility industry has on individuals.__________'A powerful, intimate and disturbing exploration of the hidden markets built on women's bodies' Professor Peter Frankopan'An absolute must read for anyone considering surrogacy; a compelling and thought-provoking book for everyone else' Jack Farchy, co-author of The World for Sale

How the Maternal Body Became a Global Commodity – and the Hidden Costs for Women

Cash Cow

History isn't what happened. History is just what historians tell us. From the Titanic to the Amazon, the raft of the Medusa to an ecclesiastical court in medieval France where a bizarre case is about to begin, A History of the World in 10¿ Chapters presents a surprising, subversive, fictional history of earth told from several kaleidoscopic perspectives. Ambitious yet accessible, witty and playfully serious, this is no ordinary history, but something stranger: a challenge and a delight for the reader's imagination. 'Funny, ironic, erudite, surprising, and not afraid to take a dive overboard into the depths of sorrow and loss' Nadime Gordimer

A History of the World in 10 1/2 Chapters

Harry Hole

**DETECTIVE HOLE IS NOW A MAJOR NETFLIX SERIES** In the pulse-racing thriller behind Netflix's DETECTIVE HOLE, Detective Harry Hole is on the trail of a diabolical serial killer terrorizing Oslo. 'This tale of revenge has twists galore' Time Out Detective Harry Hole can't trust his own memory. Someone wants him out of the picture. And they'll stop at nothing to fulfil their bloodlust... A man is caught on CCTV, shooting dead a cashier at a bank. Detective Hole begins his investigation, but after dinner with an old flame wakes up with no memory of the past 12 hours. Then the girl is found dead in mysterious circumstances and he begins to receive threatening emails: is someone trying to frame him for her death? *JO NESBO HAS SOLD OVER 60 MILLION BOOKS WORLDWIDE* 'Many authors know how to make the hairs on the back of your neck stand up. Jo Nesbo's one of the few who keeps them there' Linwood Barclay 'A series of spectacular plot twists leads to a thrilling finale. Highly recommended' Guardian

Detective Hole: The Devil’s Star

*THE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER* 'Unputdownable' COSMOPOLITAN 'Addictive, nostalgic and comforting' CLAIRE DAVERLEY Pen and Alice, childhood best friends from Toronto, are in their first year at the University of Edinburgh. Each has come to the city for her own reasons. Pen knows her divorced parents back in Canada are hiding something from her. She believes she'll find the answer here in Scotland, where an old friend of her father's - now a famous writer known as Lord Lennox - lives. When she is invited to spend the weekend at Lennox's centuries-old estate with his enveloping, fascinating family, Pen begins to unravel her parents' secret, just as she's falling in love for the first time . . . Meanwhile Alice, an aspiring actor, sees university as her route to the West End and beyond. The star of this year's theatre production, she's making the most of the power she wields as an object of desire - until an affair with her tutor begins to slip from her control. Witty, warm and wildly unputdownable, The Life Cycle of the Common Octopus is at once a love story and an irresistible mystery, a celebration of female friendship, and a study of how looking back can help us move forward. 'A book to lose yourself in' FRAN LITTLEWOOD 'Brimming with heart' JENNY JACKSON 'Luminous . . . as smart as it is delicious, as nostalgic as it feels fresh' ASHLEY AUDRAIN 'A spellbinding debut about friendship, motherhood, first love, and the choices that bind us' CARLEY FORTUNE Readers love The Life Cycle of the Common Octopus 'A beautiful ode to youth, motherhood, and becoming' ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 'Emotional and beautiful' ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 'Ten stars!' ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
