ALISON ESPACH, author of The Wedding People'One of the most delightful debuts I've read in a long time.' The New York TimesA man and a woman walk into a restaurant. The woman hopes they will order the best wine on the menu. Instead, her husband tells her he is having an affair with a woman called Maggie.When her chest starts to ache, the woman goes to a doctor who tells her the pain in her breast isn't just heartbreak - but - cancer. She decides to call the tumour Maggie and begins to strike up a conversation with it.In turns wildly funny and devastatingly tender, Maggie takes place during a pause -between divorce and marriage, sickness and health, the unknown and the status quo. In reaction to the unfolding chaos, the heartbroken woman creates 'A Guide to My Husband: A User's Manual' filled with a thousand facts for the real Maggie about the man they both love.

Most leaders don't fail because they are weak. They fail because they are strong, at the wrong level.The Inner Evolution of a Leader follows Alex Walker, a high-achieving, ego-driven leader who inherits a collapsing hotel in Spain, and nearly destroys it, his marriage, and himself, while believing he is saving everything.This is not a management book. It is a novel that functions as a mirror.As Alex rises through the first three levels of organizational culture, chaos, control, and performance, he discovers a terrifying truth: The qualities that make leaders successful are often the very things that destroy them. Competence taken too far.If you have ever built a storm you could no longer control, this story was written for you.A novel that reads like a mirror. A story that stays with you long after the final page.

Why Evolving Just One Level Changes Everything

She watches in horror at the unfolding news: the hotel they are staying in has been taken under siege. She should be making her way home, working on appearing normal, getting ready to re-enter family life with her loving husband Vic and their two adored children. Instead, she is trapped somewhere she shouldn't be, with a man she definitely doesn't love. How will she begin to tell Vic what she is doing here? If her body is found, will it give up the secret of what she's been up to? She's been so careful hiding the evidence of her affair: write nothing down, leave no trace. Will he begin to understand why? For now, Kate can only hide, take a deep breath, and reflect on the series of choices she's made that have brought her to this moment. What will her marriage and her life look like, if she makes it out? Discover the most gripping and original novel you'll read this year, from an incredible new talent in fiction.

Room 706

'Audacious and instantly gripping . . . Whidbey is deeply satisfying' Catherine Chidgey, New York Times 'There is, to put it simply, no book quite like Whidbey' Vogue 'In the realm of Patricia Highsmith and Gone Girl' Chelsea Bieker 'A masterpiece' Carmen Maria Machado ---- You want to know who did it, but that was never the question. Or, it was never the right one. Birdie Chang doesn't know much about Whidbey Island, only that it is far. On the ferry, she has an unnerving encounter with a stranger, where she finds herself telling him everything: how she was sexually abused as a child, how the perpetrator now walks free, how the calls and emails from him haven't stopped and she is on the run; how she wants to kill him. The stranger poses a shocking question - if she agrees, he will murder the man who hurt her, with no strings attached. She gives him a name. On the other side of the country, Mary-Beth receives a phone call from the police: her only son has been murdered. What follows is a complex story of three women connected through one man: Birdie, a woman on the run from her past and her abuser; Mary-Beth, the abuser's loving mother; and Linzie, a former reality star turned bestselling memoirist, and another victim of the same man. Whidbey is a brilliant reimagining of the whodunnit - a searing, propulsive novel that asks who has real power over a story: the one who lives it, or the one who tells it? Women are rarely in receipt of what they are owed.

'In the realm of Patricia Highsmith and Gone Girl' (Chelsea Bieker)

Whidbey

1940. Hermine ist acht Jahre alt, als ihre Mutter stirbt. Der Vater und die beiden älteren Brüder sind im Zweiten Weltkrieg gefallen. Als Waisenkind wird sie von entfernten Verwandten aufgenommen, die ihr ein Dach über dem Kopf geben. 
Als "Onkel Heinrich" an dem heranwachsenden Mädchen Interesse zeigt, läuft sie fort und kommt auf einem großen Bauernhof unter, wo jede Arbeitskraft willkommen ist.
Auch als der Krieg schon lange zu Ende ist, hofft Hermine, dass ihr jüngster Bruder Josef noch am Leben ist. 
Tatsächlich gelingt Josef 1948 die Flucht aus einem Gefangenenlager in Sibirien. Er macht sich zu Fuß, und meist nachts, auf den gefährlichen Heimweg über Polen und die Tschechoslowakei, in das, von russischem Militär besetzte Mühlviertel.

Die Geschichte meines Onkels, der aus russischer Gefangenschaft zu Fuß nach Oberösterreich floh, hat mich zu diesem Roman inspiriert. Hermine steht stellvertretend für viele Waisenkinder und Frauen, die im und nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg ein schweres Los hatten. Es ist ein Buch voller Hoffnung.
Isabella Maria Kern

'Savä&nbsp;writes with both sensuality and coolness, as if determined to find a rational explanation for the irrationality of existence...' New York Times 'I fell in love with this book.' Katie Kitamura, author of&nbsp;Audition and A Separation The mesmerizing debut novel by the author of The Anthropologists set in Paris and Istanbul, about a young Turkish woman grappling with her past and her complicated relationship with a famous British writer. After her mother's death, Nunu moves from Istanbul to a small apartment in Paris. One day outside of a bookstore, she meets M., an older British writer whose novels about Istanbul Nunu has always admired. They find themselves walking the streets of Paris and talking late into the night. What follows is an unusual friendship of eccentric correspondence and long walks around the city. M. is working on a new novel set in Turkey and Nunu tells him about her family, hoping to impress and inspire him. She recounts the idyllic landscapes of her past, mythical family meals, and her elaborate childhood games. As she does so, she also begins to confront her mother's silence and anger, her father's death, and the growing unrest in Istanbul. Their intimacy deepens, so does Nunu's fear of revealing too much to M. and of giving too much of herself and her Istanbul away. Most of all, she fears that she will have to face her own guilt about her mother and the narratives she's told to protect herself from her memories. A wise and unguarded glimpse into a young woman's coming into her own,&nbsp;Walking on the Ceiling&nbsp;is about memory, the pleasure of invention, and those places, real and imagined, we can't escape.

Belgrave Road

This is the story of two Englishmen who become neighbours in a Swiss city, their lives unexpectedly entwined despite the generational divide between them. One is a Generation Z young man, born at the turn of the millennium; the other, a Boomer, shaped by the mid-twentieth century. As their differences surface, tensions grow - especially when sexual conflict enters the equation.

The women in their lives - an ex-lover of the younger man and a long-standing friend of the older - become catalysts for an emotional reckoning. What begins as a connection built on common ground unravels into confrontation, ultimately leading to the breakdown of their relationship.

A thought-provoking exploration of generational contrasts, personal identity, and the fragile nature of human connection.
