Great Spanish Stories

When Val and Milly find out they're both pregnant, the friends decide that they want to be near each other as they raise their children. Val, a journalist, moves to the posh Brooklyn neighbourhood where Milly, an internet-famous travel writer and influencer, lives with her husband, Harris, a restaurateur. The old friends attempt to pick up where they left off a decade ago, when they were best friends and roommates, before a shared tragedy set their lives on divergent paths. But motherhood hits them each differently. Val is left alone to take care of her newborn daughter as she remembers and retraces her own losses as a daughter. Meanwhile, Milly seems well-suited to new motherhood since she has the help of a supportive young nanny, Cleo, and continues to share online about her beautiful, affluent life, which now includes her baby. As Val begins to fall apart, Milly makes a generous offer: why don't they put the two girls into a nanny share? Cleo can care for them, and Milly won't expect Val to pay more than she can. Val accepts, and she begins to crawl out from under her solitude and unhappiness at being a mother; she forms a friendship with Cleo, a Brooklyn native, and an aspiring musician who depends on her paycheck from Milly. But as Cleo cares for their daughters, she becomes enmeshed in the unspoken tensions between Milly and Val that are finally rising to the surface as they navigate new identities as mothers. The three women wade through shifting allegiances, delicate power relations, and long-guarded silences as they decide who they will be to one another, and what it is they each desire for the future.

The Three-Body Problem

Read the award-winning, critically acclaimed, multi-million-copy-selling science-fiction phenomenon - soon to be a Netflix Original Series from the creators of Game of Thrones. 
1967: Ye Wenjie witnesses Red Guards beat her father to death during China's Cultural Revolution. This singular event will shape not only the rest of her life but also the future of mankind.

Four decades later, Beijing police ask nanotech engineer Wang Miao to infiltrate a secretive cabal of scientists after a spate of inexplicable suicides. Wang's investigation will lead him to a mysterious online game and immerse him in a virtual world ruled by the intractable and unpredictable interaction of its three suns.

This is the Three-Body Problem and it is the key to everything: the key to the scientists' deaths, the key to a conspiracy that spans light-years and the key to the extinction-level threat humanity now faces.

I Meant It Once

A saga of young hands at a silk-making facility, a gripping tale of hope, friendship and loss.

In southern India, in 1992, silkworms feed on Mulberry leaves and spin cocoons of silk. Six days a week, twelve hours a day, fourteen-year-old Manju and his friend Shiva toil in the brutal confines of the Factory, which runs under the merciless leadership of Pandu. Lives improve for the two boys when they cross paths with Sunil, a city-bred lad whose family owns the silk business. Sunil, who is battling his own demons, finds unexpected comfort in the company of his new-found friends. However, menacing currents within the Factory continue to simmer under the surface, and things rapidly come to a head. Little Hands of Silk is a novel of loss—loss of empathy, of innocence, of life itself, but it’s also a tale of hope and friendship that blooms as an antidote to the surrounding evil.

This Wound Full of Fish

'What a ride this is! A big wide book. An amazingly vivid piece of writing, from the hilarious to the horrifying and everything in between' BRIAN ENO Meet Seth Brakes. Musician. Reluctant romantic. Inherent troublemaker. Addict. And three hundred and twenty days sober. After a near-death experience, Seth is carving a new path for himself. Having reformed the band - the infamous Lucky Fuckers - things are looking up for Seth: gigs are falling back into the diary, he's in love and finally getting back to what he enjoys most: writing music. That is until his past starts to creep up on him . . . A dark comedy that is painfully honest, original and dynamically told, When I Died For the First Time is a raw account of a man tested his uppermost limits, hitting legendary highs and crashing to catastrophic lows. It's a tale of second chances, love lost and gained, and coming back to yourself: a story that stays with you long after you've turned the last page.
