Paradiso 17
LONGLISTED FOR THE WOMEN'S PRIZE FOR FICTION 2026 ‘Miraculous’ OMAR EL AKKAD ‘Stunning’ MAAZA MENGISTE ‘Suffused with tenderness’ NEW YORK TIMES ‘Beautiful and powerful’ LISA OWENS ‘Wondrous’ NANA KWAME ADJEI-BRENYAH An extraordinary, sweeping novel following one man's itinerant search for home across the globe, after his childhood exile from Palestine. All his life, exile has been the shadow stitched to the sole of Sufien’s shoe. Born in Palestine on the precipice of 1948’s Nakba, Sufien is forced to leave the only home he’s ever known, the one on the hill with a beautiful blue door. In this moment time stops making sense. He spends the rest of his life propelled forward – although in search of what, he is never quite sure. In the dusty, oil-rich desert of Kuwait, he meets his first love and decides he must leave his family. In a small Italian university town, he spends his youth wrapped up in the forgetful assurance of wine. When life carries him to a gritty New York, he discovers his true vocation and falls in love with a Jewish woman born into a wholly different world. Until finally, he finds himself recalled to the wild, vast open skies of a desert much like his first home. Paradiso 17 is haunted with grief and yet it is also struck through with the dazzling light of a life truly lived and a love that connects us, no matter our distance. Like all of our dead, Sufien still speaks, the book begins. Listen, this is his story. ‘An exquisite novel … unforgettable’ OMAR EL AKKAD, author of One Day, Everyone Will Have Always Been Against This ‘I could not put this down … Compassionate, elegiac and suffuse with unflinching wit’ MAAZA MENGISTE, author of The Shadow King ‘A gripping story of a soul in exile’ JUSTIN TORRES, author of Blackouts ‘A miraculous novel’ KASIM ALI, author of Who Will Remain ‘Remarkable … read it, read it, read it’ RABIH ALAMEDDINE, author of The True True Story of Raja the Gullible ‘Lyrical and gorgeously original … reads as poetry’ LITHUB
Lifeboat at the End of the World
'Unflinchingly candid and extraordinarily powerful' DAILY TELEGRAPH ‘Dominic Gregory hasn’t just delivered a survey of courage and determination – Lifeboat at the End of the World is a hymn to human decency, and that makes it a very timely book indeed’ TIM WINTON Do you really think all lives are worth saving? On the empty shingle beach of Dungeness, the volunteer crew of the lifeboat await her next launch. It might come in another week. Or it might even happen in the next few seconds… For two hundred years, the Dungeness lifeboat has launched in storms and heavy seas to frigates and barques, trawlers and dinghies. Like all lifeboat stations in the British Isles, it is led by a coxswain and staffed by volunteers. Dominic Gregory volunteers as part of her crew. Dungeness is itself a place apart. An ever-shifting expanse of shingle jutting into the English Channel, it is overshadowed by its nuclear power station and made famous by Derek Jarman’s flotsam garden. Dungeness also has where millions of migrating birds and insects first make landfall in the British Isles. As a small place perhaps, but one that finds itself now at the centre of one of the biggest political stories of modern times. At the heart of this wonderful book is the lifeboat crew with whom Dominic Gregory serves, many of them from families who have volunteered for generations. These are remarkable yet ordinary men and women – who serve as shore crew, or boat crew, or who keep the records and brew the tea. All, in their different ways, give up their time, livelihoods and safety to brave wind, tide and storms, not to mention the peril of navigating between the vast floating skyscrapers that make up so much of modern shipping. Then there is coxswain Stuart Adams whose quiet, competent leadership ensures he acts as the still point in a spinning world. Lifeboat at the End of the World is the first book to depict the experience of what it is like to volunteer on a lifeboat: the smells of the water, the little knots when an alarm comes, how the crew is trained, the teamwork and trust, the ethos of the service. But it is when inflatable dinghies – overloaded with people – begin arriving on the shores of Dungeness that the lifeboat crew must face perhaps their greatest test. Dominic Gregory’s non-fiction writing offers extraordinary power and immediacy. While most of us will never serve in a lifeboat, we might find ourselves thankful for their unflinching and fearless assistance at sea.

Comparative Musicology
This is an open access title available under the terms of a CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 licence. It is free to read at Oxford Scholarship Online and offered as a free PDF download from OUP and selected open access locations. Why do all human societies make music, but in such different ways? Scientific attempts to answer this question through cross-cultural comparison stalled during the 20th century and have only recently begun to make a resurgence. In this book, Patrick Savage, a leader in this resurgence synthesises recent advances from musicology and related fields including psychology, linguistics, computer science, and evolutionary anthropology to outline ways to understand and compare all the world's music. He applies comparative musicology to longstanding debates including universal and culturally-specific aspects of human music; evolutionary relationships between song, speech, and animal vocalisation; and applications to areas including music copyright, 2nd language acquisition, social bonding, and cultural heritage revitalisation. In doing so, he argues for an inclusive, multidisciplinary field that uplifts traditionally marginalised voices and combines the qualitative methods traditionally employed by musicologists and cultural anthropologists with quantitative methods from the natural sciences. The book is accessibly written using over 50 figures/tables and an interactive tutorial with audio examples, with each chapter designed to be readable/teachable on its own. It is designed to be appreciated by anyone from undergraduate students to senior professors, without requiring any specialised background knowledge.

American Hope
'Immensely readable ... Lamb's assessment is cool and considered: a thoughtful overview of the conclave's fruit in Leo's first year, and the challenges he faces. The author's gifts for rendering complexity digestible are on full display: American Hope is the most thorough and insightful overview out there of the Church at the start of the Leonine era' - Austen Ivereigh, The Tablet'Incisive ... American Hope combines background with predictions, lacing both together with a strong narrative and mastery of Vatican politics as well as theology ... The influence of Lamb's day job, as CNN's Vatican correspondent, can be seen here in the ease with which he places the Pope in a global context, not least in comparing him with US president Donald Trump and his VP, Catholic convert JD Vance' - Catherine Pepinster, TelegraphAs white smoke signaled a new pope had been chosen on the evening of May 8, 2025, Robert Prevost went from being a relatively unknown cardinal to one of the most famous people on earth, the leader of the world's 1.4 billion Catholics. In electing Leo XIV, the College of Cardinals broke with conventional wisdom that there would never be an American pope. Is it a coincidence that he was chosen at a time of unprecedented political turbulence in the United States? Had the cardinals seen in him someone who would act as a spiritual counterweight to President Donald Trum? n American Hope CNN's Vatican correspondent Christopher Lamb explores what the election of Pope Leo means not just for the Catholic Church, but for the world. Drawing on his deep understanding of the Vatican and high-level access to cardinals and senior figures, Lamb paints a portrait of Leo as someone who combines an ability to unify with a steely determination to reform. He provides insights into the themes that will dominate Leo's papacy as the new pope steers a path between traditionalists and reformers. Leo is set to make a profound impact on the Church at a transformative moment in its history. In the era of "America First", the story of Leo's life and ministry asks what it truly means to be an American. In a world of conflict, he stands for peace. In a time of uncertainty, he offers a sense of hope.

If I Ruled the World
It is 1999 in New York City where 20-something Nikki Rose has spent the last 3 years working her way up the chain at StyleList, a fashion magazine rivaled only by Vogue. As the only Black editor on staff, Nikki’s never had it easy, but the constant microaggressions turn macro when Nikki pitches Tyisha, supermodel and host of “America’s Next Cover Girl”, for the cover of StyleList’s January issue. Her Editor-in-Chief responds simply: “Black girls don’t sell magazines.” Determined to find a place for young Black women in the magazine world, Nikki hustles her way into a job offer as Editor-in-Chief at Sugar, a floundering hip hop music and lifestyle publication with untapped potential. She’s faced with a difficult decision: say goodbye to her prestigious job (much to the chagrin of her academic parents and investment banker boyfriend) or bet on herself and enter an entirely new world of extreme wealth, decadence, and debauchery. She chooses herself. Now Nikki must deal with a whole new set of challenges as she fights to save Sugar, including facing off with its vindictive former Editor-in-Chief and winning over her skeptical staff, learning to navigate the urban music industry while staving off its influential bad boys and power players—and perhaps the most difficult, evading the Alonzo Griffin: her very married, very powerful ex-boyfriend, former boss, publishing powerhouse, and well-known womaniser, who is on a mission to take Nikki (and Sugar) down. As Nikki struggles to make her way in the media and music industries during one of the most dynamic eras in pop culture history, she needs to game the system to win. But what happens when winning means sacrificing everything you hold dear?
The Bureau
'Some of the most beautiful prose being written in Ireland today' Irish TimesA Harper's most talked-about thriller novel 2025A Irish Times Book of the Year 2025A Critic Book of the Year 2025A Guardian Crime Book of the Year 2025Lorraine would say afterwards that she was smitten straight off with Paddy Farrell. You could tell that he was occupying the room in a different way, he found the spaces that fitted him. She was the kind of girl the papers called vivacious, always a bit of dazzle to her. Could she not see there was death about him? Could he not see there was death about her? Paddy worked the border, a place of road closures, hijackings, sudden death. Everything bootleg and tawdry, nobody is saying that the law is paid off but it is. This is strange terrain, unsolid, ghosted through. There's illicit cash coming across the border and Brendan's backstreet Bureau de Change is the place to launder it. Brendan knows the rogue lawyers, the nerve shot policemen, the alcoholic judges and he doesn't care about getting caught. For the Bureau crew getting caught is only the start of the game. Paddy and his associates were a ragged band and honourless and their worth to themselves was measured in thievery and fraud. But Lorraine was not a girl to be treated lightly. She's cast as a minx, a criminal's moll but she's bought a shotgun. And she's bought a grave.
