Europe, 1938. Even as the daughter of the extraordinary headlining illusionist, Lena Papadopoulos has never quite found her place within the World of Wonders – a travelling circus that traverses the continent in a luxury steam engine. Brilliant and curious, Lena yearns for the real-world magic of science and medicine, despite the limitations she feels in her wheelchair. But when a young French orphan, Alexandre, comes aboard the circus train, Lena’s life is infused with magic and wonder for the first time.
But outside the bright lights of the circus, darkness is descending on Europe. War is about to shatter Lena’s world, and take away everything she holds dear. And to recover what she has lost, Lena will have to believe in the impossible.
A must-read for fans of Water for Elephants, The Circus Train will take readers on a heart-wrenching two-decade journey across a continent in which great beauty and unimaginable horror live side by side.

‘Superb’ OBSERVER
‘Cunningly crafted’ FINANCIAL TIMES
‘Faulks is doing what he does best’ SUNDAY TIMES
In the depths of the archive, Hannah dances with the ghosts of Vichy France, lost in testimony and a desire to hear the voices of the past. Back in her apartment, Moroccan teenager Tariq crashes on her sofa, consumed by his search for the mother he barely knew. Their excavations will unearth rich histories that will teach them both just how much the future is worth fighting for.
Paris Echo is a propulsive and haunting novel of empire and identity, told with biting wit and tenderness, which exposes the shadows of the city of lights.
‘[Paris Echo] is brimming with Faulks’s deep affection for Paris . . . and ambition to evoke that place, its ghostliness, those spectres of history, lurking around every beautiful avenue’ GUARDIAN

THE SUNDAY TIMES TOP TEN BESTSELLER, JUNE 2021
‘Annie Macmanus is writer whose understanding and capturing of human nature comes as easily to her as breathing’ CANDICE CARTY-WILLIAMS
‘A work of gilded melancholy that is going to take everyone by surprise’ UNA MULLALLY
‘Macmanus writes with flair and confidence rarely seen in a debut’ SINÉAD GLEESON
One Saturday morning, TJ McConnell wakes up to find his mother, Mary, gone. He doesn’t know where – or why – but he’s the only one who can help find her.
Mary grew up longing for information about the mother she never knew. Her brother could barely remember her, and their father numbed his pain with drink.
Now aged thirty-seven, Mary has lived in the same house her whole life. She’s never left Belfast. TJ, who’s about to turn eighteen, is itching to see more of the world.
But when his mother disappears, TJ begins to realise what he’s been taking for granted.
MOTHER MOTHER takes us down the challenging road of Mary’s life while following TJ’s increasingly desperate search for her, as he begins to discover what has led her to this point.
This is a story about family, grief, addiction and motherhood, and it asks an important question – if you spend your life giving everything to the ones you love, do you risk losing yourself along the way?
‘A brilliant book…that explores the brutal legacy of addiction and the consequences of a deep grief left to stagnate’ Sara Cox
‘A tender, surprising, occasionally bleak, moving and delicate book’ Irish Times
‘A study of grief, addiction and what it means to be a mother’ Stylist
‘Melancholy, beautifully unadorned prose’ Mail on Sunday
‘Unflinching and unsparing but also beautifully written’ Daily Mail
‘An incredible debut’ Daily Mirror

The electrifying follow-up to Dave Eggers’ New York Times Bestseller The Circle
‘Gulpable fictive entertainment . . . Eggers is a wonderful storyteller with an alert and defiant vision’ Observer
When the world’s largest search engine / social media company merges with the planet’s dominant e-commerce site, it creates the richest and most dangerous-and, oddly enough, most beloved-monopoly ever known: The Every.
Delaney Wells is an unlikely new hire. A former forest ranger and unwavering tech skeptic, she charms her way into an entry-level job with one goal in mind: to take down the company from within. With her compatriot, the not-at-all-ambitious Wes Kavakian, they look for the company’s weaknesses, hoping to free humanity from all-encompassing surveillance and the emoji-driven infantilization of the species. But does anyone want what Delaney is fighting to save? Does humanity truly want to be free?
Studded with unforgettable characters and lacerating set-pieces, The Every blends satire and terror, while keeping the reader in breathless suspense about the fate of the company – and the human animal.
‘More playful and satirical than Orwell . . . it scores as a series of brilliant set pieces and a devastating overall critique.’ Sunday Times
‘Part of the genius of this remarkable piece of satire, riven as it is with horribly plausible ideas and horribly good jokes. . . . What Eggers does so well is make The Every alluring as well as alarming…’The Times
‘You read it and think: yes, this is set in the future but it is actually going on here and now. It is an urgent and necessary book. It’s also fun. You catch more flies with honey than vinegar’ The Scotsman
The Circle was a New York Times bestseller in 2013

Dein Geheimnis darf nie ans Licht kommen. Denn es kann dich alles kosten…
Als Libby einen Flyer für einen Haustausch im Briefkasten findet, hält sie das für einen absoluten Glücksfall. Sie und ihr Mann Jamie brauchen nach einem Schicksalsschlag dringend eine Auszeit. Nur zu gern lässt das Paar seine kleine Wohnung in Bath zurück, um nach Cornwall zu fahren. Überwältigt von der hochmodernen Villa, die einsam über der Steilküste thront, lässt Libbys Anspannung der letzten Wochen langsam nach. Doch die anfängliche Idylle hält nicht lange an. Immer wieder geschehen seltsame Dinge, die Libby zusehends beunruhigen. Sind sie wirklich allein in der riesigen Villa? Und warum benimmt sich Jamie auf einmal so eigenartig? Hat er etwas zu verbergen?

From the author of When God was a Rabbit and Tin Man, Still Life is a big-hearted story of the families we forge and the friendships that make us.
1944, Italy. As bombs fall around them, two strangers meet in the ruined wine cellar of a Tuscan villa and share an extraordinary evening.
Ulysses Temper is a young British soldier, Evelyn Skinner a 64-year-old art historian living life on her own terms.
