A New York Times and a LitHub Most Anticipated Book of 2026"A warm novel about connection, loss and imagining place."—Naoise Dolan, author of Exciting Times"Italian literature has been waiting years for a novel like this."—Vincenzo Latronico, author of PerfectionMina is thirty years old and leads a life in London built with great care but little spontaneity. One evening she receives a phone call from her mother. Her father is dead. After returning home for the funeral, Mina ends up staying. Home is a small seaside town, where her Moroccan father ran a beach bar frequented mostly by migrants; a place of refuge for those who felt unwelcome in this new land. It’s here, in a place where people appear like ghosts who pass and vanish, that Mina connects with her family and rediscovers memories of her father, that mythical, elusive migrant with a mysterious past. Surrounded by the sea, Mina will find that roots are a fleeting dream—a desire to find a common history that will allow her to forget, at least at times, the wounds of abandonment.

Young Is Blessed
Star of VH1’s hit show Black Ink Crew: New York, Young Bae shares her gritty, candid, and inspirational coming-of-age immigration tale. If you’ve seen Parasite or Squid Game, you have some idea what it means to be poor in South Korea—struggling to survive in a world that thinks you’re worthless. Before Young Bae became a famous tattoo artist and star of American reality television, that nightmare was her life. With no stable place to call home, she spent nights in a community center, lived through the winter in a shipping container, and at times slept under a desk in her mother’s studio, hiding from her violent, unstable father. But even when her family moved into the worst possible place anyone can live in Seoul—a dank, flooding basement apartment—she held onto hope. She was an artist, and that meant she had been blessed. With strong determination and a belief that impossible dreams can come true, Young Bae knew she would become somebody.

Good Faith
Bede was the first historian to speak of the 'English' and to see their conversion as within the providence of God. English language, English culture, values and institutions have all been shaped by Christianity. And Christianity is not only about our past but our present. Since early modern times, following the Reformation, Christianity has continued to be a key part of national identity, being passed on largely, though not exclusively, through the worship, teaching and pastoral ministry of the Church of England. This book seeks to reclaim what is unique about the Church of England - a church which claims to be 'part of' the one, holy Catholic Church - and its role in our national life, and how a deeper understanding of Christian faith can still be passed on through it to the English people.

Backed by thousands of patient transformations and frontline legal battles for health freedom, this book equips you to reclaim control in a world that profits off your confusion. But this isn’t just a critique. It’s a way forward. Through their clear roadmap—Rewire the Mind, Reset Sleep, Repattern Movement, Remove Toxic Inputs, and Restore Alignment—you’ll learn how to activate the body’s God-given ability to heal. Each chapter delivers tools, insight, and a new way of thinking about health. If you’ve ever felt dismissed, overmedicated, or stuck in a cycle of chasing symptoms, this book was written for you.

Never Mind the Happy
The New York Times Bestseller From the award-winning composer/co-lyricist behind such iconic projects as Hairspray, Sister Act, Mary Poppins Returns, and Smash comes a wickedly funny, no-holds-barred memoir. In Never Mind the Happy, musical dynamo Marc Shaiman looks back on five decades of Broadway triumphs, Hollywood hijinks, and unforgettable collaborations. Along the way, he charts the personal highs and heartbreaks that have shaped him—spending his teenage years in community theater, starting a decades-long collaboration with Bette Midler in the ’70s, surviving the AIDS crisis of the ’80s, his award-winning film music career in the Hollywood of the ’90s, right up to the peaks (and valleys) of creating Broadway musicals from 2000 on. Candid, hilarious, and deeply human, Shaiman’s story is a tribute to the power of music, the pull of the spotlight, and the beat that never stops. Part showbiz tell-all, part love letter to the melancholy that fuels creativity, told with perfect comic timing—along with a few wrong notes, and plenty of standing ovations.

The Edge of Revolution
'David Torrance chronicles this decisive moment in British history with colourful, fascinating detail' - The TimesThe extraordinary story of the General Strike of 1926, from the author of the critically acclaimed The Wild Men. On Tuesday 4 May 1926, two million workers downed tools in the only nationwide all-hands strike ever held in Britain. The General Strike had begun, and the country braced itself for what many believed was a moment akin to the Russian Revolution, which had shaken the world only a decade earlier. Industry was deprived of gas and electricity; the buses, trains and trams all stopped; newspapers ceased publication; and workers abandoned mines and iron, steel and chemical works around the country. The General Strike has entered our national mythology. Even though it lasted only nine days, it left a legacy of bitterness that has had a profound impact on politics. Now, a century on, Torrance tells this dramatic story from the perspective of everyone involved, drawing on extensive archival research to recreate those nine days through the accounts of those who lived and breathed it. The result is an absorbing and comprehensive analysis of this unique episode in British history.
