LONGLISTED FOR THE WOMEN'S PRIZE FOR NON-FICTION 2026 WINNER OF THE NERO BOOK AWARD FOR NON-FICTION 2025 LONGLISTED FOR THE GORDON BURN PRIZE 2026 'Please read this book. It may very well change how you live' Rachel Clarke 'Profound...compelling...beautiful' Nina Stibbe 'Filled with love...I was spellbound' Kathryn Mannix 'Brilliant...so special' Guardian An inspiring true story about life, love and letting go Sarah Perry's father-in-law David died in the autumn of 2022, only nine days after a cancer diagnosis.

Yet as Sarah and her husband Robert nursed David through his final days, they realised how extraordinary he really was. This loving, clear-eyed and unforgettable book shows how death may be met and understood as a part of life - a universal experience that is terrible and beautiful, intimate and real, sometimes all at once.

Critical Conversations on the Women’s Health Crisis (and How to Thrive Despite it)

It’s Probably Nothing

From neurodivergent comedian Darcy Michael, a hilarious memoir with a message about living with adult ADHD What if ADHD isn't a disorder to overcome, but a superpower that makes you funnier, more creative, and more resilient? In Attention Seeker, comedian and card-carrying adult with ADHD Darcy Michael offers a fresh perspective on getting through the daily struggles that confront those on the neurofabulous end of the spectrum. Darcy takes readers on a humorous-yet-heartfelt journey as he relates stories of growing up gay, getting married, and finding a career in comedy, all while navigating life with an attention-addled brain. From his early acting days on Spun Out to finding fame (and love) on the internet, Darcy shares all the dirty details (it’s NSFW, folks!) of how ADHD has shaped his identity, his relationships, and his work. Peppered with asides from Darcy’s long-suffering husband Jer, advice for ADHDers both silly and serious, and words of wisdom from Yuma Dog herself, this laugh-out-loud guide is essential reading for anyone unpacking what ADHD means for them—or anyone who just wants to giggle

Attention Seeker

'An instant classic' NIGELLA LAWSON 'Sweeping, intimate, defiant and brimming with love' LOUISE KENNEDY 'It is the roots that keep the trees from falling during a storm. Olia Hercules tells us that the same is true for people and nations' SERHII PLOKHY I am writing this story without knowing its end: it begins long before I was born and will continue long after I die. I am writing this story to help myself heal and to make you understand. Strong Roots is the story of a century in Ukraine told through four generations of one extraordinary family. It takes us from years of Russification, to Olia's grandmother's deportation to snowy wastelands under Stalin, to her Aunt Zhenia's school protest, to her own parents' flight from Ukraine when their town was occupied in 2022. This is an ode to the land, to ideas of home and belonging, and to family stories and recipes passed down the generations - the tang of sour cherries, the best way to make borsch. It is an account of resilience in the hardest of circumstances. Strong Roots brims with hope and grief. It lays bare the compromises and betrayals of generations struggling and surviving through war, peace, invasion and exile. It is an uplifting reminder of how much the human spirit can endure when born from a land rich with strong roots.

Essential Knowledge to Tackle Everyday Challenges

They Don’t Teach This at School

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER&nbsp;• The author of Finding the Mother Tree offers a powerful vision for saving our forests based on nature’s deep-rooted cycles of renewal. "A masterclass on the inner workings of forests. . . . This is science as an act of love for the world.” —Zoë Schlanger, author of The Light Eaters Early one spring morning, I went back to the forest. I wanted to learn what the mother trees could teach me about survival and adaptability, about living and dying. Raised in a family of loggers committed to sensible forest stewardship, trailblazing ecologist Suzanne Simard has watched as timber companies leave forests at higher risk for wildfires,&nbsp;water crises, and plant and animal extinction. But her research has the potential to chart a new course. The forest, she reveals, is a symphony of finely honed cycles of regeneration—from mushrooms breaking down logs to dying elder trees passing their genetic knowledge to younger ones—that hold the key to protecting our forests. Working closely with local Indigenous communities, whose models of responsible forestry have been largely dismissed, Simard examines how human interventions—particularly destruction of the overstory's mother trees—endanger new growth and longevity. If we can honor the tools that trees have honed for sharing intergenerational wisdom, she argues, we can protect these sacred places for many years to come. As she considers how older living things facilitate the conditions for new growth to flourish, Simard faces parallel rhythms of loss and regeneration in her own life, watching her two daughters grow into adults and savoring her final days with her ailing mother. Animated by wonder for our forests and the intricate practices of caretaking that have long sustained them, When the Forest Breathes is a vital reminder of all the natural world has to teach us about adaptability, resilience, and community.

Renewal and Resilience in the Natural World

When the Forest Breathes

'Courageous, moving, bold and beautifully, brilliantly written' - Daisy Buchanan, bestselling author of Insatiable I am 13 years old and these are my secrets. 1. I have a crush on Jet from ITV gameshow Gladiators. So strong! So pretty! 2. I still play with Barbie dolls. It's mostly making them scissor. Or snog. Or lie on top of each other with feeling. 3. I just kissed my best friend. Spoiler alert: she's a girl. From the suburbs of Leeds to the streets of Sydney, from the queer clubs of London to a quiet life by the sea, through love, family, friendship and heartache, join Roxy Bourdillon on a journey to work out exactly who she is. A relatable and moving coming-of-age memoir, What a Girl Wants is the perfect read for anyone who's searched for their place in the world, for anyone who's ever been catcalled, anyone who's despaired about their body, fallen in love, had their heart broken and found friends who can put it back together. From overcoming shame and finding your tribe, to surviving the dating scene and learning to really express yourself, this is a book about joy, empowerment and freedom. Warm, witty and nostalgia-drenched, it's a laugh-out-loud treat of a read for fans of Dolly Alderton's Everything I Know About Love and Caitlin Moran's How to Be a Woman - but with a glorious queer twist. 'Unabashed, bold, even confronting at times . . . exhilarating' - Laura Kay, author of Wild Things 'A joy to read' - Rosie Jones, comedian

A (True) Story of Sexuality and Self-discovery

What a Girl Wants

'"I liked the Jewish jokes," she says. "Oh, it's OK", I say. "I'm allowed to make them." Her eyes light up. And so it all begins.' When Max meets Eliana, a dazzling modern Orthodox Jewish girl, in a bar in Edinburgh one night, he never expected it to kickstart an agonising identity crisis. While their connection is instant and deep, Max discovers a devastating truth: that despite his upbringing, to millions around the world, including the girl he's fallen for, he is deemed non-Jewish. Determined to build a future with her, comedian and writer (and uncircumcised liberal Jew) Max Olesker embarks on one of the world's most demanding religious conversion processes. He attempts to navigate the dizzying complexities of Jewish law, the challenges of maintaining a relationship without physical contact, and the looming prospect of a date with a scalpel. From moving into the home of an Orthodox family for eight months to enduring gruelling interrogations by a high court of Rabbis, Max's journey is a rollercoaster of humour, heartbreak, and self-discovery. A hilarious and moving true account of one man's quest to marry the love of his life, Making the Cut will make you laugh, cry, and believe in the transformative power of love.

An Unorthodox Love Story

Making the Cut

There is no meant to be but the love I've known has made it hard to believe that An inventive, funny and deeply moving family epic: a love story, an elegy and a reminder that even in the mess of family and memory there is something to laugh about AN OBSERVER NON-FICTION BOOK TO LOOK OUT FOR IN 2026 'A wild ride' JON McGREGOR 'Raw and intimate, so daring and disobedient' SARAH HALL 'The most beautiful and truthful song to the pain present in a good life' EVIE WYLD Jarred McGinnis was born to a Southern US clan where masculinity, resilience and physical violence were intertwined. In There Is No Meant to Be he unearths the legends, secrets and scars that have shaped his family line from his outlaw Irish ancestors to his mother Momo's gift of foresight, and the ghosts - both real and remembered - that follow him into adulthood. Two decades on from the near-fatal accident that left him in a wheelchair, McGinnis is married and the father of two girls, living first in East London and now Marseille. He writes about love within the context of care and of the particular vulnerability that comes from being a parent with a disability. In a daring imaginative leap, he writes of the end of life too, reaching beyond his own death to look at what truly makes a life. 'Caustic, hilarious, unflinchingly honest and so captivatingly humane, I couldn't put this book down' JAN CARSON 'In a world teetering on madness, here is an ode to truth, courage, and the beautiful power of vulnerability' ELAINE FEENEY 'A multi-layered, many-textured masterpiece' CHARLIE GILMOUR

Becoming Legend

California Governor Gavin Newsom's intimate and poignant account of identity, belonging, and the defining moments that inspired a life in politics 'Go slow,' his political elders advised him, but Gavin Newsom has never known such a speed. For Newsom, the California Dream is what lured his father's family from Ireland, six generations ago. His great-great-grandfather, a cop, walked a beat in San Francisco, where almost 150 years later Newsom would be elected as mayor. Newsom has never lived anywhere but California. His childhood was spent being tugged between two worlds: his mother worked three jobs in order to care for her children while his father, a close friend of the Getty family, brought Newsom into a world of wealth and connections. But the vantage point was valuable: he inherited his mother's perseverance and his father's reverence of California - not only its wildness, but its opportunity. In Young Man in a Hurry, Newsom traces the forces that have defined his ambitions as a politician. As mayor of San Francisco, he made waves when he violated state law in order to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples. He launched bold efforts to counter climate change, improve mental health care, and enhance gun safety. Elected as governor and entering office into immediate hyper-partisan headwinds from Washington, DC, Newsom has constantly and consistently stuck his neck out. Here, he reflects on the long journey that ultimately shaped him into one of the most recognizable and accomplished elected officials in America.
