The Beginning and End of Everything: with a foreword by Davina McCall
‘An inspiring must-read for anyone who is searching for hope in darkness of loss, grief or addiction’ Gillian AndersonSarah Hiscox’s deep self-esteem and addiction issues began in childhood when she was given powerful sleeping pills for her nightmares. Then, as a young woman, a toxic relationship with food morphed into a full-blown heroin dependency that neither a loving marriage nor a new baby could halt. After years of cycling through relapse and new starts, Sarah’s relationships were wrecked. In rehab she was confronted with herself and all that she’d lost. But it would take repeated attempts for her to understand even her worst day of abstinence was better than the days she relapsed. Just a few threads of hope remained – a desire to see her children grow, a friend called Davina, a sister and an ex-husband who, despite it all, still loved her. A compelling, wonderfully uplifting true story of the redemptive power of self-acceptance, friendship and love.

Imagine a world in which you could take back the stupid thing you just said, unspill the coffee, avoid the accident, roll life back thirty seconds and do it over again - this time the right way. In Etgar Keret's universe, all things are possible. A man can take a yoga class that genuinely transforms his life. A son has the chance to redo a fateful exchange with his father. An alien can offer a guided tour of the destroyed earth. And an angry squirrel can wreck a wedding. Ranging from sci-fi scenarios to fictional thought-experiments and short vignettes, the stories here all deliver the irreverence, surprises, existential unease, hope and humanity we have come to expect from Etgar Keret - one of the most original and entertaining storytellers at work today.
Exhibition
The must-read art world novel of the summer: a story of love, ego and destruction, and the dark relationship between authenticity and celebrity, artist and muse. London. 1990s. Amid the heady rebellion of Young British Artists, Rabble Stone, a photographer, meets the artist, a painter, after renting a room in her Brixton home. Soon Rabble is in thrall to this new world: to the run-down glamour of the Victorian house; to the exhilarating and debauched gallery openings, and to those in the artist's orbit, beautiful and lost. Above all, she is drawn to her new friend's work; raw, unfiltered self-portraits of startling intimacy, which Rabble captures in her uncompromising photographs. But as Rabble's longing tips into obsession, her pursuit of the artist - her fame, her wealth, her life - threatens to consume her... "Sharp, vivid, compelling: a love letter to the last identifiable scene in British Art that captures the energy, grit and luxury and hunger of 90s London" - Lizzy Stewart, author of Alison and Wreck
Nature's Apothecary
Herbs have been used for centuries to cure all manner of ailments. In the Middle Ages, before the advent of affordable healthcare, monastery gardens were used to cultivate plants to treat both the monks’ own house and the surrounding secular community. Information about the medicinal properties of plants was gathered into books known as herbals, which gained a much-increased audience with the advent of printing. This beautiful book features 100 plants showing how herbs, as well as flowers, fruit and vegetables, have been used medicinally. Drawn from the writings of a range of herbalists, particularly John Gerard and Nicholas Culpeper, the text is accompanied by exquisite illustrations from the renowned Herball by Gerard, first published in 1597. Together with recipes from household books, these selections give a fascinating history of nature’s role in both formal and folk medicine.

WINNER OF THE GILLER PRIZE 2025A TLS AND TIME MAGAZINE BOOK OF THE YEARFrom Giller Prize and O. Henry Award winner Souvankham Thammavongsa comes a revelatory novel about loneliness, love, labor, and class. 'I live in a world of Susans. I got name tags for everyone who works at this nail salon, and on every one is printed the name "Susan".'‘One of the greatest novels I have ever read’ RITA BULWINKELL‘Wickedly funny and moving’ AVNI DOSHI‘A knockout: every punch lands’ ELEANOR CATTONNing is a retired boxer, but to the customers who visit her nail salon, she is just another worker named Susan. On this summer's day, much like any other, the Susans buff and clip and polish and tweeze. They listen and smile and nod. But beneath this superficial veneer, Ning is a woman of rigorous intellect and profound depth. A woman enthralled by the intricacy and rhythms of her work, but also haunted by memories of paths not taken and opportunities lost. A woman navigating the complicated power dynamics among her fellow Susans, whose greatest fears and desires lie just behind the gossip they exchange. As the day's work grinds on, the friction between Ning's two identities – as anonymous manicurist and brilliant observer of her own circumstances – will gather electric and crackling force, and at last demand a reckoning with the way the world of privilege looks at a woman like Ning. Told over a single day with razor-sharp precision and wit, Pick a Colour confirms Souvankham Thammavongsa's place as literature's premier chronicler of the immigrant experience, in its myriad, complex, and slyly subversive forms.

Algot, Anna Stina and the Water of Life
Jonas Jonasson is back with another irresistible adventure, this time set in nineteenth century Sweden.
After his father's death is caused by the greedy and cunning Count Bielkegren, Algot Olsson is left with nothing to his name, except for a potato field and a homemade still to make liquor. But Algot is smart, ambitious and resourceful, and it's not long before he masters the lucrative art of distilling spirits. When his schnapps become a sensation, he finds his success once again attracts the envy of the Count, who will do everything in his power to sabotage Algot's budding business.
Thankfully, however, Algot isn't alone. With the support of his friend Helmut, a Bavarian printer with a flexible relationship to the truth, and Helmut's daughter Anna Stina, who is as strong-willed as she is charming, he might just have the creativity and the courage to outsmart the Count's schemes once and for all … and perhaps there's even time for romance along the way.
Full of sharp humour, wonderfully absurd twists and memorable characters, Algot, Anna Stina and the Water of Life is an irresistible adventure of friendship, love and ingenuity.

10 omylov, ktoré zmenili dejiny
Všetci robíme chyby, no len málokto svojím prešľapom zmení chod dejín. Kniha 10 omylov, ktoré zmenili dejiny prináša vtipný a osviežujúci výber neúmyselných pochybení, ktorým sa to podarilo – raz to bol rozchod, čo pochoval impérium, inokedy spánok poslal ku dnu pýchu lodiarstva.
Britský historik a komik Paul Coulter si posvietil na kľúčové postavy a udalosti posledných dvoch tisícročí. Za nablýskanou fasádou moci a egom božských rozmerov – či išlo o fascinujúcu Kleopatru, alebo o tragédiu Titanicu – sa totiž často skrývali až príliš obyčajné ľudské zlyhania.
Zabudnite na nudné učebnice. Prichádza dejepis, ktorý vás bude baviť: hitparáda katastrofálnych rozhodnutí, pomýleného hrdinstva a totálnej straty súdnosti. Autor rozpráva príbehy, ktoré formovali náš svet a mali priam neuveriteľné následky. Napokon, človeku sa hneď lepšie zaspáva s vedomím, že nech už dnes pokazil hocičo, najväčšie postavy histórie to dokázali zbabrať ešte oveľa ukážkovejšie.
