Costello I: The Paris Bookshop Secret /
B

The Paris Bookshop Secret

'Sensuously detailed . . . edgy . . . riveting' Financial TimesTwo strangers meet on a bus along a dusty road in rural France. Tati is a tough, work-worn widow, who runs the farm her late husband left behind, while trying to keep out of the way of her predatory in-laws. Jean is an odd, quiet man, recently out of prison, with nowhere to go. These lost souls recognize something in each other, and Jean becomes Tati's lodger and farm worker. In the still and heat of the summer, they labour together and, inevitably, begin to sleep together. Soon, however, their strange affair will become something altogether darker. First published in 1942 at the same time as Albert Camus' The Outsider, this is Simenon's existentialist masterpiece, exploring the dangerous mystery of who we are and what we desire. 'Published, like The Outsider, in 1942, and at least equal to Camus's work in portraying a doomed and alienated life' David Hare

The Widow Couderc

The enthralling tale of a powerful Greek goddess maligned in both myth and ancient history, as told by Sunday Times bestselling author Jennifer Saint. 'An exceptional achievement' ELODIE HARPER 'A very special novel' COSTANZA CASATI 'The essential mythological book of the decade' NIKITA GILL When Hera, immortal goddess and daughter of the ancient Titan Cronus, helps her brother Zeus to overthrow their tyrannical father, she dreams of ruling at his side. As they establish their reign on Mount Olympus, Hera suspects that Zeus might be just as ruthless and cruel as the father they betrayed. She was always born to rule, but must she lose herself in perpetuating this cycle of violence and cruelty? Or can she find a way to forge a better world? Often portrayed as the jealous wife or the wicked stepmother, this retelling captures the many sides of Hera, vengeful when she needs to be but also compassionate and most importantly, an all-powerful queen to the gods. More praise for HERA: 'A thrilling depiction' ELIZABETH FREMANTLE 'Subtle, nuanced and utterly gorgeous' SARAH UNDERWOOD 'Jennifer Saint's best book yet' ROSIE HEWLETT 'Vast in scope and thoroughly entertaining' NIKKI MARMERY 'An absolutely triumph' JASMINE ELMER

The dazzling story of the Queen of Mount Olympus from bestselling author of Ariadne

Hera

Margaret Evans is a butcher's daughter, working in Whitechapel's Butcher Row in the late 1830s. Her skill with the knife and saw brings her to the attention of an upper-class doctor, who witnesses her carrying out an impromptu amputation of an injured child's leg, and he offers her a position in his Highgate house as a maid and sometime medical assistant. At first, all is well. Margaret likes her employer and, as well as learning to make pies worthy of a gentleman in the kitchen, she assists the doctor with medical procedures. But something is off. The doctor's wife is bedbound, her body criss-crossed with surgical scars, and the collection of body parts that float in jars in the surgery seems to be increasing. Then when Margaret recovers from a debilitating illness only to discover she is pregnant, she realises her unborn child might well end up in a specimen jar alongside several others in the doctor's study. Arriving in a Mayfair brothel as her pregnancy nears its end, Margaret finds friendship and comfort, but realises she's in danger when she sees several of the doctor's freemason friends visit the bordello. One night, Margaret goes into labour and passes out. When she wakes, she is told her baby was born dead and has been taken away to be buried. But an anonymous note, pushed under her pillow, tells her otherwise, and to come to a pie shop for more information. The baker, Mr Lovett, who was tasked with taking her child away tries to extract money from Margaret but, in a scuffle, he hits his head and dies instantly. Margaret decides to take over his pie shop and pose as his widow. Margaret finds she's unable to get any credit at butchers' shops as her ?husband' owes so much money. Thankfully, her upstairs tenant, the barber Sweeney Todd, is on hand to pay the bills - though this means she's now in his debt. So, when the body of a man, bleeding from the neck, falls through a trap door into the shop, she's powerless to do anything about it. Deciding to turn the situation to her advantage, she butchers the body and uses the meat to fill her pies. A symbiotic relationship is formed, in which Mr Todd keeps the clothes and valuables of his victims, while Mrs Lovett builds a reputation for making the tastiest pies in the area. But with so many gentlemen disappearing, how long can the situation endure?

Salome

A stirring exploration of war, race and belonging from the Nobel-prize winning author of Beloved. An angry and self-loathing veteran of the Korean War, Frank Money finds himself back in racist America after enduring trauma on the front lines that left him with more than just physical scars. As Frank revisits the memories from childhood and the war that leave him questioning his shattered sense of self, he unearths the courage he thought he'd lost forever. It is with incantatory power that Morrison's language reveals an apparently defeated man finding his manhood - and, finally, his home. 'No other writer in my lifetime, or perhaps ever, has married so completely an understanding of the structures of power with knowledge of the human heart' Kamila Shamsie, GuardianWinner of the PEN/Saul Bellow award for achievement in American fiction
