Whispering Rooms
From bestselling authors Genki Kawamura and Marie Kondo comes a collection of heartwarming and whimsical short stories, based on Marie's personal experience of tidying over 1,000 rooms.
Miko is a professional tidier, with a secret. When she enters a room, she is greeted by the voices of every object inside. Visiting her clients, she finds the whispering wardrobe, filled with chatty clothes; the singing study, full of talkative books; the bickering kitchen with its disgruntled drawers of cutlery, and more. Each item: a book, a childhood toy, a jar of miso paste, evokes a new memory for its owner, and what starts as the simple task of tidying a room becomes something profound and life-affirming.
With the help of her talking box, Hako, Miko helps people reconnect to themselves and their loved ones through the items that they find in their rooms. As they sort through their rooms, they discover what is truly important in their lives, and what it takes to spark joy.
Cesta do Tridenta
Slovinský básník a prozaik Kajetan Kovič ve svém románu Cesta do Tridenta nenápadně rozehrává velkolepou oslavu „obyčejného“ lidského života – života, který se v jeho podání proměňuje v jedinečné, barevné a dojemné dobrodružství.
Vypravěč, autorovo alter ego, sleduje osudy svého strýce France M., obchodníka, vojáka a hostinského, jehož cesta z vídeňských salonů přes haličskou frontu až po vinohrady rodného Slovinska obsahuje vše, co tvoří podstatu lidské existence: vášeň, pošetilost, bolest, smích i smíření. Kovič s básnickou citlivostí a smyslem pro ironii nechává na stránkách svého románu ožít minulý svět – od lehkomyslného víru vídeňských valčíků po syrovou realitu války – a ukazuje, že i v těch nejprostších okamžicích se skrývá poezie bytí.
Cesta do Tridenta je román plný vůní vína, písní, smutku i radosti, napsaný s pochopením pro každou lidskou slabost. Dílo jednoho z nejvýznamnějších slovinských autorů 20. století, nám připomíná, proč stojí za to říkat životu vždycky své ano – da, ja, ano, igen, si...
The Wedding
With a new introduction by DIANA EVANS''A writer of huge compassion and acute observation, and also of dazzling style . . . Her work is more relevant than ever'' Diana Evans''Timelessly cinematic, with painterly visual descriptions and pitch-perfect dialogue that ranges across class, region, race, age, and gender'' Emma Garman, Paris ReviewSet on a bucolic Martha''s Vineyard in the 1950s, The Wedding tells the story of life in the Oval, a proud, insular community made up of the best and brightest of the East Coast''s black bourgeoisie. Within this inner circle of ''blue-vein society'', we witness the prominent Coles family gather for the wedding of their loveliest daughter, Shelby, who could have chosen from ''a whole area of eligible men of the right colors and the right professions.'' Instead, she has fallen in love with and is about to be married to Mead Wyler, a white jazz musician from New York. A shock wave breaks over the Oval as its longtime members grapple with the changing face of its community.Not just the story of one wedding, but of many, this compelling story offers insights into issues of race, prejudice and identity while maintaining its firm belief in the compensatory power of love.Through a delicate interweaving of past and present, North and South, black and white, The Wedding unfolds outward from a single isolated time and place until it embraces five generations of an extraordinary American family. It is an audacious accomplishment, a monumental history of the rise of a black middle class, written by a writer who lived it. Wise, heartfelt, and shattering, it is Dorothy West''s crowning achievement.
Murder at the Pyramids
January 1901. Abigail and Daniel Wilson, often lauded as 'The Museum Detectives', are on their way to the Great Pyramid at Giza.

Investigations by the local police reveal him to be Simeon McGruder, an American writer who was penning an article about the mysteries of the Sphinx. When Daniel and Abigail return to Cairo they are asked by the American Embassy if they can take on the case, but they have a difficult path to tread as they try to keep different factions onside: the British and American authorities, the puppet Egyptian Government and officials, while at the same time facing lies and deviousness from McGruder's associates and friends.

Departure(s)
Departure(s) is a work of fiction - but that doesn't mean it's not true.
Departure(s) is the story of a man called Stephen and a woman called Jean, who fall in love when they are young and again when they are old. It is the story of an elderly Jack Russell called Jimmy, enviably oblivious to his own mortality.
It is also the story of how the body fails us, whether through age, illness, accident or intent. And it is the story of how experiences fade into anecdotes, and then into memory. Does it matter if what we remember really happened? Or does it just matter that it mattered enough to be remembered?
It begins at the end of life - but it doesn't end there. Ultimately, it's about the only things that ever really mattered: how we find happiness in this life, and when it is time to say goodbye.

Raya is a lost soul, going through the motions of life without a dream of her own.
One night, on her subway ride home, Raya's thoughts wander too far. She wakes on the Elsewhere Express, a magical train that offers its passengers a sense of purpose, peace, and belonging. The journey is a chance for Raya to reimagine her life - but only if she finds her compartment before time runs out.
Once aboard, Raya meets an intriguing artist named Q and together they race to find their place on the train, through a boarding car carpeted in meadow grass and along a dining carriage where passengers picnic on lilypads.
But a mysterious stowaway has boarded with them, and with it a dark, malignant magic that threatens to destroy the train. The closer Raya comes to uncovering the stowaway's identity, the nearer she draws to the ultimate question:
What is her life's true purpose - and is it a destination the Elsewhere Express can take her to?
My Friends
The beautiful new novel that will make you laugh and cry, from the global bestselling author of Anxious People and A Man Called Ove. Fredrik Backman returns with an unforgettably funny, deeply moving tale of four teenagers whose friendship creates a bond so powerful that it changes a complete stranger’s life twenty-five years later…
You have to take life for granted, the artist thinks, the whole thing: sunrises and slow Sunday mornings and
water balloons and another person’s breath against your neck. That’s the only courageous thing a person can do.
In the corner of one of the most famous paintings in the world three tiny figures sit at the end of a pier. Most people don’t even notice them. Most people think it’s just a depiction of the sea. But Louisa, an aspiring artist herself, knows otherwise.
Twenty-five years earlier, in a distant seaside town, a group of teenagers seek refuge from their bruising home lives by spending long summer days together. They tell jokes, they share secrets, and they commit small acts of rebellion. These lost souls find in each other a reason to get up each morning, a reason to dream, a reason to love.
Out of that summer emerges a transcendent work of art, a painting that will unexpectedly be placed into 18-year-old Louisa’s care. Determined to learn how it came to be and to decide what to do with it, Louisa embarks on a cross-country journey. But the closer she gets to the painting’s birthplace, the more nervous she becomes.
In this stunning testament to the transformative, timeless power of friendship and art, Louisa is proof that happy endings don’t always take the form we expect.

As India's first post-Independence election looms, and tensions rise across the country, Persis finds herself banished to the Hotel Victoria, a crumbling colonial-era relic, her career in tatters. But when a prominent politician is murdered in his locked room at the Victoria, his head missing, she is thrust back into the fray. Is the murderer one of the foreigners staying at the hotel or an insurgent from the surrounding jungle? As the political situation threatens to explode, Persis has only days to stop a killer operating at the very edge of darkness... The sixth rip-roaring thriller in the award-winning Malabar House series and a perfect entry point for new readers. 'Persis Wadia, denizen of India's own Slough House - Malabar House in Bombay - has been further sidelined. She is far from Bombay in the remote Naga Hills, an area of rebels and lawlessness which may just swallow her whole. Persis is a brilliant creation ... With a satisfying backdrop of little-known aspects of newly independent India's history and the ever-present tension with the remaining British colonists, this is a richly satisfying book at many levels' ALIS HAWKINS
Perspectives
*SHORTLISTED FOR THE DUBLIN LITERARY AWARD 2026*'There is no living writer whose new books I fall on with greater delight than Laurent Binet. . . Perspectives is a proper treat' Naomi Alderman'A dazzling romp' GuardianFlorence,1557. As dawn breaks, a painter is discovered lying on the floor of a church, stabbed through the heart. Above him, the paintings he laboured over for more than a decade. At his home, a hidden portrait scandalously depicting Maria de Medici, daughter of the Duke of Florence, as a naked Venus. Who is the murderer? Who made the painting? As the city erupts in chaos, Giorgio Vasari, the great art historian, is picked to lead the investigation. Letters fly back and forth carrying news of plots and speculation about the killer’s identity – between Maria and her aunt Catherine de’ Medici, the queen of France; between Catherine and her secret agents; and between Vasari and his friend Michelangelo. And the truth, when it comes to light, is as shocking as the bold new artworks that have made Florence the red-hot centre of Europe. Bursting with characters and colour, Perspectives is a mystery like no other that shows us Renaissance Florence as we’ve never seen it before – a dazzling, hugely entertaining novel of court machinations, murder and art.
