The international publishing sensation, with sales of over 10 million copies worldwide, and shortlisted for the International Dublin Literary Award.

‘Resistance is futile … you might as well buy it before someone recommends it for your book group. Its charm will make you say yes’ The Guardian

‘Clever, informative and moving … this is an admirable novel which deserves as wide a readership here as it had in France.’ The Observer

Rene is the concierge of a grand Parisian apartment building. She maintains a carefully constructed persona as someone uncultivated but reliable, in keeping with what she feels a concierge should be. But beneath this facade lies the real Rene: passionate about culture and the arts, and more knowledgeable in many ways than her employers with their outwardly successful but emotionally void lives.
Down in her lodge, apart from weekly visits by her one friend Manuela, Rene lives with only her cat for company. Meanwhile, several floors up, twelve-year-old Paloma Josse is determined to avoid the pampered and vacuous future laid out for her, and decides to end her life on her thirteenth birthday. But unknown to them both, the sudden death of one of their privileged neighbours will dramatically alter their lives forever.

Un estuche que reúne los cuatro volúmenes de la memorable saga «Dos amigas» de Elena Ferrante: La amiga estupenda, Un mal nombre, Las deudas del cuerpo y La niña perdida.

Una tetralogía deslumbrante que tiene como telón de fondo la ciudad de Nápoles a mediados del siglo pasado y como protagonistas a Lenù y Lila, dos jóvenes mujeres que están aprendiendo a gobernar su vida en un entorno difícil. La relación a menudo tempestuosa entre Lila y Lenù viene acompañada de un coro de voces que dan cuerpo a su historia y nos muestran la realidad de un barrio pobre, habitado por gente humilde que acata sin rechistar la ley del más fuerte. Pero en las cuatro novelas tenemos personajes de carne y hueso, que nos intrigan y nos deslumbran por la fuerza y la urgencia de sus emociones, así como por la manera en que logran salir adelante con el empuje de su inteligencia. «Quería contar solo la vida de dos mujeres -ha dicho la autora-. Y para hacerlo era necesario que filtrara la historia en el trasfondo de sus existencias, las cosas que de un modo u otro tenían que ver con ellas. Me gustaría que el relato ayudase a contemplar en términos narrativos un pedazo de la historia de Italia». El resultado es una fabulosa novela río en cuatro entregas, que perdurará como una de las obras maestras de la literatura del siglo XXI.

La crítica ha dicho:

«Las novelas de Elena Ferrante me han tenido atado al sillón, leyendo y celebrando unas páginas donde la emoción nunca es banal: el dolor y la alegría de sentirse vivos están ahí para que el lector los haga suyos».

Juan Marsé

«Lo maravilloso del enigma Ferrante es que podemos concentrarnos solo en sus obras».

Roberto Saviano

«Quiero tanto a Lenù… Lloré leyéndola».

Jonathan Franzen

«Nada de lo que leemos sobre Elena Ferrante nos prepara para la ferocidad de sus novelas. […] Cuentan una historia de mujeres con tanta sinceridad que, en lugar de observar una vida, uno casi parece estar experimentándola en primera persona».
The New York Times

«La primera obra italiana en décadas que merece el Premio Nobel».
The Guardian

«En mi mesilla de noche están los diarios de Virginia Wolf, los relatos de Chéjov y las novelas de Elena Ferrante».

Leïla Slimani

«Soy fan de sus novelas, que abordan con todo lujo de detalle la amistad tal como la entendemos las mujeres».

Zadie Smith

«Me ha capturado. Me ha causado un gran impacto».

Elizabeth Strout

«Cuando una lectora entra en estas páginas, empieza a sentir cosas que ha vivido, que ha sufrido, que ha disfrutado, y las siente contadas por primera vez desde otro lugar, lejos de los lugares comunes, de la ideología, de la militancia».

Roberto Saviano

«Larevelación más trascendente de la narrativa europea en el último cuarto de siglo».

The heartwarming historical novel from Sunday Times bestseller, Dilly Court

It’s Christmas Eve. Flurries of snow fall on the cobbled streets of Whitechapel and an abandoned baby, swaddled in a blanket, is found on a doorstep in Angel Lane . . .

Named after the street on which she was found, Angel Winter was blessed to be taken from the harsh streets into a loving home. But fate deals a cruel blow and she’s torn from the only family she has ever known, and thrown onto the cobbles of Covent Garden to fend for herself.

With winter closing in, Angel scratches a living selling mistletoe to the City gentlemen who pass through the market, hoping they will take pity on her as she shivers in the snow. The only way she can survive is to make her own luck. She will never sell the one treasure that could feed her for a month, the gold and ruby ring that was hidden in her swaddling – it could hold the key to the secrets of her past . . .

Dilly Court’s book ‘A Thimble for Christmas’ was a No.1 Sunday Times bestseller w/c 2023-10-16.

The BRAND NEW novel from Number 1 bestselling Richard & Judy author Louise Douglas.

As wild fires creep a devastating path towards the idyllic town of Morranez, a vulnerable girl goes missing. But was she taken – or was she escaping…

The summer is the hottest yet in the Brittany coastal town of Morranez, but when a new case lands on the desk of the Toussaints detective agency, there can be no time to relax. As wild fires bear down on the town, the alert goes out for a missing girl.

Nineteen-year-old Briony Moorcroft has seemingly been taken from her sleepy Welsh village and brought to France. Her parents are baffled and scared – Briony needs her life-saving medicine or this case will become even more sinister, and with the police dragging their heels, the Moorcrofts are relying on Mila Shephard and Carter Jackson’s sleuthing skills.

Meanwhile there are mysteries troubling Mila’s life too. Two years after the accident that swept her sister Sophie and brother-in-law Charlie away and left their daughter Ani in Mila’s care, new evidence resurfaces that makes Mila doubt everything.

Can Carter and Mila find Briony before it’s too late? And is the truth about Sophie and Charlie finally about to be revealed…

From the Publisher

Louise DouglasLouise Douglas

Louise DouglasLouise Douglas

Hello and thank you for looking at this book.

My books are usually described as contemporary Gothic stories, most often with some dark romance or a psychological element.

I love to write about love, not only in the romantic sense. I also enjoy writing about animals, nature, and the countryside, feeling deeply connected.

But it’s people and the secrets they keep that truly fascinate me. It’s the things we don’t say that reveal the most about us; the walls we build and the masks we wear to make ourselves appear strong, when the truth is, we’re trying to protect our vulnerable hearts.

If you enjoy a compelling, emotional storyline, and like reading about flawed characters who confuse what they want, with what they need; if you like travelling with characters towards a resolution, if you believe good people deserve to find happiness, you might enjoy this book.

Thank you again. I very much appreciate you looking at my book and wish you all the best.

The gripping new Ben Hope thriller from the Number One bestseller.

When ex-SAS major Ben Hope is urgently recalled to the UK from his base in France to assist with a family crisis, little does he know that he’s about to be drawn into one of the most dangerous missions of his career: his son Jude has been accused of a brutal murder, and all the evidence points to his guilt.

To prove Jude’s innocence Ben embarks on a wild chase, facing up against mysterious killers and piecing together a fragile web of clues. What connects an all-female criminal gang from the early 1900s called the Forty Elephants, a century-old vendetta and a shadowy government conspiracy that claimed millions of innocent lives?

Along the way Ben teams up with his former acquaintance, rugged Detective Tom McAllister. They’re heading for a showdown in the wilds of Cornwall, and the villains have no intention of letting Ben come out of it alive . . .

“a fascinating reflection on totalitarianism as refracted through Orwell’s times and our own” The Guardian

London, chief city of Airstrip One, the third most populous province of Oceania. It’s 1984 and Julia Worthing works as a mechanic fixing the novel-writing machines in the Fiction Department at the Ministry of Truth. Under the ideology of IngSoc and the rule of the Party and its leader Big Brother, Julia is a model citizen – cheerfully cynical, believing in nothing and caring not at all about politics. She knows how to survive in a world of constant surveillance, Thought Police, Newspeak, Doublethink, child spies and the black markets of the prole neighbourhoods. She’s very good at staying alive.

But Julia becomes intrigued by a colleague from the Records Department – a mid-level worker of the Outer Party called Winston Smith, she comes to realise that she’s losing her grip and can no longer safely navigate her world.

Seventy-five years after Orwell finished writing his iconic novel, Sandra Newman has tackled the world of Big Brother in a truly convincing way, offering a dramatically different, feminist narrative that is true to and stands alongside the original. For the millions of readers who have been brought up with Orwell’s Nineteen Eighty-Four, here, finally, is a provocative, vital and utterly satisfying companion novel.
