The End of Everything

M. John Harrison

"The End of Everything doesn't let you in on the secrets of its world, as soon as you begin feeling that you know it, it changes. The familiarity of British coastal towns become the site of strange alien interventions that wash ashore desired and feared in equal measure. " - Finn, Bookseller

In One Brief Moment All Eternity

Elif Shafak

During a time of great turmoil, Gustave Flaubert created literature’s most scandalous heroine: Madame Bovary. He then poisoned her with arsenic. But what if, 175 years later, Emma – and the women history overlooked – could seize the quill from his hands and tell a different story?

Boldly inventive, transporting and illuminating, spanning decades and continents, In One Brief Moment All Eternity is a dazzling love letter to literature, untold stories, neglected communities and the enduring spirit of humanity.

The Man Who Read Books

Rachid Benzine

The Man Who Read Books is a magnificent modern story of the power of words against barbarism, of books as bastions of resistance against the loss of empathy, of literature as a means of sustenance during our darkest hours.
