Virago Modern Classics

INTRODUCED BY IRENOSEN OKOJIE With its showcase homes and manicured lawns, an address in the wealthy Black American neighbourhood of Linden Hills is a symbol that you've made it. The ultimate achievement: a home on prestigious Tupelo Drive, at the base of the hills. But the further down you go, the more this paradise begins to look like a circle of hell . . . As two young friends - poets from the wrong side of town - journey through the neighbourhood picking up odd jobs and extra cash, their warmth, humour and disbelief expose the hypocrisy of the lost souls of Linden Hills. Lyrical, wise and dazzlingly imaginative, Naylor's novel exposes the dark heart of the American dream. 'An ambitious novel that aspires to be nothing less than a contemporary reading of Dante's Inferno . . . Naylor fuse[s] together the epic and the naturalistic, the magical and the real' New York Times Gloria Naylor is gifted with timeless wisdom, bottomless empathy, and limitless language' TAYARI JONES 'Naylor's skill in weaving together culture, heartbreak, joy, magic, terror, laughter, pain, and love - which is to say, life - is extraordinary' Robert Jones, Jr.

For the Black citizens of the exclusive neighbourhood of Linden Hills, the road to hell may well be by following the white American dream. A rediscovered twentieth-century classic that blends social criticism with magical realism, this is a masterpiece by one of the giants of Black American literature.

Family is everything, even when it falls apart. Discover the escapist new Sunday Times bestselling novel from the multi-million-copy bestselling author of Miss Benson's Beetle and The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry. 'The perfect holiday read.'-The Times 'A must-read.' Bonnie Garmus, bestselling author of Lessons in Chemistry 'I didn't think it was possible to love Rachel Joyce's writing more, then I read The Homemade God...gorgeous.' - Jennie Godfrey, bestselling author of The List of Suspicious Things 'Rachel Joyce is a masterful storyteller.' - Sarah Winman, bestselling author of Still Life --------------------- There is a heatwave across Europe. Goose and his three sisters gather at the family's house by Lake Orta in Piedmont, Italy. Their father, a famous artist, has recently remarried a much younger woman and decamped to Italy to finish his masterpiece. Now he is dead and there is no sign of a painting. Although the siblings have always been close, as they search for answers over that summer, the things they learn - about themselves, their father and their new stepmother - will drive them apart before they can come to any kind of understanding of what their father's legacy truly is. Extraordinarily compelling, at heart this is a novel about sibling relationships and those hairline cracks that can appear within a family: what happens when they splinter, and what it would take to mend them. Praise for The Homemade God: 'The most moving, beautiful and brilliant book I've read in a long time.' - Claire Pooley, author of How to Age Disgracefully 'A triumph of insight and empathy!' - Clare Chambers, author of Small Pleasures 'Sharp, absorbing, emotionally intelligent.' - Guardian 'Deeply satisfying.' - Observer 'A highly compelling mystery and a tender, brilliantly drawn exploration of sibling dynamics. I couldn't put it down.' - India Knight, author of Darling 'Joyce is a fearless explorer of emotional landscape.' -Sunday Times 'If only there were more novelists like Rachel Joyce.' -Telegraph 'Joyce writes with her trademark vitality and ... I couldn't put it down.' - Esther Freud, author of Hideous Kinky and Mr Mac and Me 'Lyrical, shrewd and, ultimately, as indecently satisfying as a four course Italian lunch. My life is a little emptier now it's over.' - Patrick Gale, author of A Place Called Winter 'Sparkling and addictive ... Rachel Joyce is so incredibly good and wise on families and siblings. I couldn't love it more.' - Harriet Evans, author of The Garden of Lost and Found

Weddings aren't just about the happy couple...

Thank God for the balm of good writing' NIGELLA LAWSON 'Razor sharp on family, love and marriage' DAVID NICHOLLS 'I devoured it in one long lazy afternoon - I laughed and cried' VICTORIA HISLOP 'Anne Tyler really is the best' GRAHAM NORTON It's the day before her daughter's wedding and things are not going well for Gail Baines. First thing, she loses her job (or quits, depending who you ask). Then her ex-husband Max turns up at her door looking for somewhere to stay. He doesn't even have a suit. Instead, he's brought memories - and a cat looking for a new home. Just as Gail is wondering what's next, their daughter Debbie discovers her groom has been keeping a secret which could throw the whole wedding into question... READERS HAVE FALLEN HEAD OVER HEELS FOR THREE DAYS IN JUNE 'Oh I loved this novel so much I feel like starting it all over again' 'Such a positive story about journeys to development and forgiveness and love. Oh and there's a cat!' 'A delight. Such good writing, wonderful characters.' 'Leaves you smiling. What more can you want.' 'This was the first book of Anne Tyler's that I've ever read. Now I'm hooked' 'It made me laugh out loud' 'Anne Tyler never fails to grip you from the very first sentence'

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'

Three siblings. Two human, one robot. The spectacular new debut about what it means to be alive.

In a recently reunified Korea, robots have integrated seamlessly into society. They are our teachers, our bus drivers and policemen. They are our lovers. They are even our children.

Eleven-year-old Ruijie sifts through scrap metal in a Seoul junkyard, searching for anything that might repair her failing body. There amongst the piles of junk she happens across a robot boy: lifelike, strange and unlike anything she's seen before.

Across the city, estranged siblings Jun and Morgan Cho haven't spoken since the abrupt disappearance of their robot brother Yoyo, which shattered their childhoods and left a gaping hole in their lives. But Ruijie's discovery is about to bring the lives of brother and sister hurtling back together, forcing them to confront the reality of Yoyo's true nature, and the dark purpose their father never revealed.

At once a dazzling work of speculative fiction and a poignant family drama, Luminous is a timely, unforgettable story about what it really means to be human.

The Times best thrillers for April 2026 'A propulsive thriller' Irish Independent 'A tense, fast-paced thriller about moral compromise' i PAPER 'Tom Bradby has created a magnificent woman in Dr Laura Strong. [A] powerfully entertaining novel' Literary Review Life for Dr Laura Strong shouldn't be this hard. Nights working thankless A&amp;E shifts. A much-loved disabled brother to look after. Loan sharks at her door. She needs a miracle to stop her life collapsing around her. The arrival of South American coffee magnate Rafael Fernandez appears to be the answer to her prayers. A devoted father with a sick son requiring a 24/7 care, he is prepared to pay any price for expertise he can trust. But if something appears to be too good to be true, then it probably is. Behind the façade of Rafa's gilded existence lies a dark family history which he has been doing his best to avoid - until the death of his estranged father brings it crashing back into his - and Laura's - world. What had at first seemed to be a remarkable escape from an impossible situation now threatens to destroy everything Laura cares about. Friendless and far from home, she must rely on her own instincts to find a way out of this terrifying new landscape. Sometimes it's easier to trust the devil you know...

Six seconds. A man falling. An image that haunts her forever.

Returning to the Mexico of their childhood, Diego's sister is plagued with questions, beset with crippling grief and guilt. As she struggles to get her head and her heart around her brother's death, she sees the life they shared anew. Here she tells their story: that of the poor, the exploited, the outsider far from home, with quiet power and vibrant prose. As she does so, she asks herself how well she really knew the boy she tried so hard to raise. And what, in the end, makes a life worth living?

Rippled through with flashes of dark humour, Eating Ashes is a heartbreaking examination of home, of loneliness and belonging, separation and loss, from a critically acclaimed Latin American novelist.

'This book is a triumph.' Laila Lalami, author of The Dream Hotel

A spellbinding story&nbsp;about two outsiders who venture into the Forbidden Kingdom of Tibet, both driven by a motive they are desperate to keep secret.

In 1869, the mountainous territory of Tibet is closed to foreigners, an infuriating obstacle to Europeans racing to expand their empires. In response, Britain begins training Indians - permitted to cross borders that white men may not&nbsp;- to undertake illicit, perilous expeditions within Tibet.

Balram is one such surveyor-spy, recruited to guide an English captain on a foolhardy mission. His path will soon cross with that of another unlikely explorer, Katherine. Fleeing a life of frustrated ambition, belittled by her male peers, Katherine has a plan to secure her legacy as the first European woman to reach Lhasa and the legendary Potala Palace.&nbsp;

As they battle to survive, Balram and Katherine face storms and bandits, snow leopards and soldiers, fevers and frostbite. But nothing is more dangerous than the secrets that snap at their heels, in this unforgettable story about the obsessions of the colonial enterprise, and the ways we endeavour to leave a mark on the world.

*SHORTLISTED FOR THE DUBLIN LITERARY AWARD 2026* 'There is no living writer whose new books I fall on with greater delight than Laurent Binet. . . Perspectives is a proper treat' Naomi Alderman 'A dazzling romp' Guardian Florence,1557. As dawn breaks, a painter is discovered lying on the floor of a church, stabbed through the heart. Above him, the paintings he laboured over for more than a decade. At his home, a hidden portrait scandalously depicting Maria de Medici, daughter of the Duke of Florence, as a naked Venus. Who is the murderer? Who made the painting? As the city erupts in chaos, Giorgio Vasari, the great art historian, is picked to lead the investigation. Letters fly back and forth carrying news of plots and speculation about the killer's identity - between Maria and her aunt Catherine de' Medici, the queen of France; between Catherine and her secret agents; and between Vasari and his friend Michelangelo. And the truth, when it comes to light, is as shocking as the bold new artworks that have made Florence the red-hot centre of Europe. Bursting with characters and colour, Perspectives is a mystery like no other that shows us Renaissance Florence as we've never seen it before - a dazzling, hugely entertaining novel of court machinations, murder and art. 'Doesn't get much better than this' Sunday Telegraph 'A racy and enjoyable detective story' The Times 'A dazzling romp' Guardian 'Funny and very gripping' Financial Times
