The Devil's Daughter


From billion-copy bestselling author Danielle Steel, The Devil’s Daughter is a fascinating portrait of two very different sisters: one a beautiful sociopath; the other, an academic, who loves her no matter what. Billie and Mickie Banks grew up on a small farm in the American Mid-West. As sisters, they couldn’t be more different. Billie, kind, loving and a gifted science graduate, longs for love. While hard-hearted Mickie, who has no interest in education or her sister, relies on her striking looks and charm, and has no regard for who she hurts to get everything and everyone she wants. Determined to seek fame and fortune, Mickie moves to Los Angeles and becomes a model. She swiftly becomes involved with Alex Addison, a rich, smooth-talking, but unscrupulous surgeon. Billie, who has joined her sister in LA where work is more plentiful, becomes deeply suspicious of the mystery around Mickie’s new life and the person she’s involved with, but her concern and love for her sister is met with contempt. But just as Mickie discovers the life of wealth and extravagance she’s always craved, a major scandal threatens to blow her seemingly perfect world apart. Is Alex a criminal or is he a genius? As Mickie risks a prison sentence, Billie must ask herself whether bad people can ever truly change.

Only Stars Know the Meaning of Space


In this “absolute marvel of a book” (Dinaw Mengestu, author of Someone Like Us), acclaimed author Remy Ngamije offers up a vibrant collection of award-winning short fiction. Presented as a literary mixtape, Only Stars Know the Meaning of Space is a work that provides you with a uniquely modern reading experience. The A-Side, read as one narrative, tells the story of a soon-to-be thirty-year-old aspiring writer navigating a complicated world. The B-Side, taken as a separate experience, features (seemingly) independent and unrelated short stories. There’s “Crunchy, Green Apples (or, Omo)”, a story about loss told by the strangest of narrative devices: a shopping list. “Sofa, So Good, Sort Of (or, John Muafangejo)” is a first-person account of a family’s history and a long journey towards hope. A group of friends attempts to navigate a recent breakup in “From the Lost City of Hurtlantis to the Streets of Helldorado (or, Franco).” When read together, however, a third world emerges—a complex, intergenerational, and interconnected “journey across all genres” (Mukoma Wa Ngugi, author of Unbury Our Dead with Song) that will stay with you long after you turn the final page.

The Crystal Vase


A road-trip across Europe and back in time: the debut graphic memoir from the prize-winning author of A Funeral In Freiburg. When her imperious, chain-smoking German Jewish grandmother dies, it falls to Astrid and her father to drive a hire van to the Black Forest and collect the family heirlooms from Gisela's nicotine-stained apartment. In Freiburg, they are faced with several lifetimes' worth of belongings to sort through - infested Persian rugs, mysterious photographs, a toy monkey that started a marriage - and a grasping landlord, impatient to renovate. As the list of demands from uncles, sisters and cousins grows longer, the rabbit-holes of history and memory grow deeper. Long-buried secrets and tales of survival are revealed - from Nazi Germany to colonial Africa - and old feuds are reignited, as father and daughter struggle with the responsibility of preserving the family legacy. More importantly, will they be able to fit everything into a medium wheel-base transit van? Funny, bittersweet and beautifully drawn, The Crystal Vase is an odyssey of family arguments, identity crises, and late discoveries.
