In the Skin of a Lion
In the Skin of a Lion is Michael Ondaatje’s sparkling predecessor to his Booker Prize-winning The English Patient. ‘A magical book. Michael Ondaatje defies the normal distinction between poet and novelist. His writing is consistently tuned to a visionary pitch’ – Graham SwiftIt is the 1920s, and Patrick Lewis has arrived in the bustling city of Toronto, leaving behind his Canadian wilderness home. He immerses himself in the lives of the people who surround him, learning, from their stories, the history of the city itself. And he has his own adventures: searching for a missing millionaire, tunnelling beneath Lake Ontario, falling in love. Here, we encounter, for the first time, Hana the orphaned girl and Caravaggio the thief, among a large cast of characters who are all lovingly and intimately portrayed. It is an exquisite and musical novel, a romance that challenges the boundary between history and myth. ‘Ondaatje writes in curves, in time-lapses, a sort of verbal cinema whose narrative is unfaltering’ – The Times‘A triumph . . . a powerful and revelatory accomplishment’ – The Times Literary SupplementNow part of the Picador Collection, a series showcasing the very best of modern literature.
Electric Spark
‘Absolutely mesmerising’ Spectator‘I raced through it’ Ali Smith, Guardian‘Unputdownable’ Financial Times‘A fire-starter’ New York Times‘Hypnotic’ TLS‘Joyously, brilliantly intelligent’ Anne EnrightFrom one of our leading biographers and critics comes an exhilarating, landmark new look at Muriel Spark. SHORTLISTED FOR THE BAILLIE GIFFORD PRIZE FOR NON-FICTIONA BOOK OF THE YEAR FOR: THE TIMES/SUNDAY TIMES, GUARDIAN, TELEGRAPH, TLS, FINANCIAL TIMES, ECONOMIST, NEW STATESMAN, LONDON STANDARD AND WASHINGTON POSTMuriel Spark was a puzzle, and so too were her books. She dealt in word games, tricks and ciphers; her life was composed of weird accidents, strange coincidences and spooky events. In Electric Spark, Frances Wilson aims to finally crack her code. We return to Spark’s early years when everything was piled on: divorce, madness, murder, espionage, poverty, skulduggery, blackmail, love affairs, revenge and a major religious conversion. If this sounds like a novel by Muriel Spark it is because her experiences of the 1940s and 1950s became, alchemically reduced, the material of her art.
Now I See Winter
From multi-award winning, New York Times bestselling duo Mac Barnett and Jon Klassen, Now I See Winter is one in a unique quartet of board books that playfully shows the changing seasons through a child’s eyes.

Envisioned as a set that also can be read as standalone stories, each of the four books in this series has identical text but a different visual treatment to show the time of year. In winter, the tree is bare, snow falls from the sky, a sweet treat is a candy cane and the perfect hat is one that keeps you warm. Now I See Winter celebrates all the wonderful things about the season from a kid’s point of view – and why it’s their favourite time of year.

I Love You, Byeee
A Sunday Times Bestseller ‘I Love You, Byeee is poignant and properly funny; a bracing dip into nostalgia, but self-aware, too.’ Observer The long-awaited new memoir and follow-up to the bestselling Ramble Book. Hey, how you doing, casual browser? Adam Buxton here. Are you ready for some hot hyperbole about this book? Here we go … In I Love You, Byeee, the highly anticipated follow up to the bestselling Ramble Book, I reminisce with hilarious and heartwarming candour about the highs and lows of working with Joe Cornish and revolutionising the worlds of DIY TV and podcasting in the process. You’ll hear about my crazy times hanging out with notorious rock’ n’ roll hellraisers like Travis and Radiohead. I write with humour and heartbreaking poignancy about the challenges of parenting, losing my mother (to death, that is – we didn’t get separated in a shop) and the drug hell that led to me nearly dying in the arms of a comedy legend. There’s also a bit about arguing with my wife, getting instructions on edginess from Louis Theroux, going on Bake Off and much more that you didn’t ask for but definitely need. For all that, plus hours of bonus waffle and original music, why not download the audiobook, too? Phew! I think we both need a shower after that. Take care – I love you, byeee!

From AI to Ethics to Politics to Sex, there is something for every reader and writer in this modern classic.

Ghost-Eye
'This shape-shifting, time-stitching novel grants us special kinds of double-vision: across eras and between species. Under its spell, Amitav Ghosh helps us begin to live multiple lives - to become aware of the porosity and mystery of being, rather than of its fortifications and frontiers' Robert Macfarlane, author of Is a River Alive?'A magical realist novel that believes in magic' Sunday TimesCalcutta, September 1969Varsha Gupta wants fish for her lunch. Her family can't understand it; the three-year-old has never tasted fish in her life. The Guptas are strict vegetarians and don't allow it inside their Calcutta mansion. But Varsha claims she can remember another life, a mud house by a river where she caught and cooked fish with a different mother. Perplexed, the Guptas turn to Dr. Shoma Bose, a psychiatrist who has been investigating what are known as 'cases of the reincarnation type' for years. But her understanding of the world is changed forever by Varsha's revelations. Half a century later, Varsha's therapeutic case file catches the attention of a group of environmental activists, and Shoma's nephew Dinu is drawn inexorably into their plans. And as Dinu finds himself caught up in the search for Varsha, buried memories of his own past begin to surface. Travelling between late-sixties Calcutta and present-day Brooklyn, Ghost-Eye is an urgent and expansive novel about family, fate and our fragile planet. 'Amitav Ghosh's intellectual panache and serene mastery of form make him one of the last great practitioners of the novel of ideas. Captivating' Pankaj Mishra

Lázár
„A sötét erdő szélét még mindig egy kimúló évszázadból megmaradt hó borította, amikor Lázár Lajos, a vízkék szemű, áttetsző gyermek először látta meg azt a férfit, akit annak halála után is apjának tekintett.”
Minden elkezdődik, még a vég is. Lázár Lajos születésével, az erdei kastély falai között, beköszönt a 20. század, amely örökre megváltoztatja a Magyarország déli részén élő Lázár bárók régi életét. A Habsburg Birodalom bukásával felbomlik a régi világrend, széthullik a nemesség és az elhallgatott családi titkokkal terhelt látszólag biztonságos jólét is: Sándor, a tekintélyes családfő, szégyelli fia különcségét; Ilona, visszataszítónak találja kisöccsét; Mária, a gyönyörű édesanya, retteg, hogy valakinek feltűnik a kísérteties hasonlóság gyermeke és a két hete elhunyt fiatal lovászlegény között, míg Sándor fivérét, Imrét, akinek túlvilági látomásait gyakran őrültségnek bélyegzik, egy közelgő katasztrófa víziói gyötrik.
„…akkor fogta fel, hogy minden megváltozott. A világ, amelyben megismerkedtek és elbúcsúztak egymástól, már nem létezett.”
A Lázár egy magyar nemesi család több generáción átívelő történetét és hanyatlását meséli el a viharos 20. századi események hátterében egészen 1956-ig. A fiatal svájci író egy új generáció friss hangja, regénye egyszerre modern és időtlen. A mű mesterien teremt atmoszférát: a családi rezidencia, valamint az azt körülölelő, baljósan sötét, mesebeli erdő élénken kelnek életre az olvasó előtt, miközben a regény finoman kikacsint Gabriel García Márquez és Thomas Mann világára.
A Lázár 2025-ben meghódította a nyugat-európai olvasókat:
Megjelenést követően a könyv hónapokig a SPIEGEL bestseller lista első helyén állt, azóta, több hónap elteltével töretlenül a lista élén áll,

Ešte jedna šanca
V jedno ráno sa dvadsaťjeden ročnej Linde obráti život hore nohami. Aleš – muž, ktorého milovala celým srdcom – jej z ničoho nič oznámi, že s ňou nechce ďalej žiť. Zlomená a zúfalá, s kufrom v ruke, odchádza hľadať odpustenie tam, kde by ju nikto nečakal.
Návrat do rodného domu jej však neprináša útechu. Ostáva zavretá medzi štyrmi stenami svojej starej izby, kde sa utápa v žiali. Mladšia sestra to s ňou ale nevzdáva a napokon sa jej podarí Lindu vrátiť do normálneho života.
Keď stretne záhadného Andreja, všetko sa opäť zmení. Linda sa zamiluje – nečakane, prudko, hoci si myslela, že sa to už nikdy nemôže stať. Lenže s Andrejom sa v jej živote vynárajú aj noví démoni. Okolo neho sa stále motá jeho bývalá priateľka. Žiarlivosť, o ktorej si myslela, že ju má pod kontrolou, ju začne pohlcovať.
Je to len jej strach, ktorý vytvára pochybnosti, alebo Andrej skutočne niečo tají?
Dokáže sa Linda preniesť cez svoju prehnanú žiarlivosť?
Usmeje sa na ňu už konečne šťastie, alebo sa jej osud opäť kruto vysmeje?
