Lifelines
*WINNER OF THE ANGLO-HELLENIC LEAGUE'S RUNCIMAN AWARD 2026Longlisted for the RSL Ondaatje Prize‘Magical... A book that will refresh your soul.’ Carol Drinkwater, author of The Olive Farm___ THE TRUE STORY OF A COURAGEOUS LEAP INTO A NEW LIFE (moved this to be top of descript) In 2000, burnt out by city living, Julian Hoffman and his wife Julia took a bold step: they left everything behind and moved to Prespa in northern Greece – a remote landscape of vast lakes, snow-capped mountains and stone villages. Here, their seasons are punctuated by unforgettable encounters, including nesting summer pelicans, a springtime stare-down with a bear and a winter meeting with fourteen tiny birds above a frozen doorway. Lifelines is a story of new beginnings – of searching for home in an unfamiliar place, finding community across borders and truly finding your place in the world. ‘I was enthralled and won't be the only reader making travel plans.’ Gaia Vince AN FT BEST SUMMER BOOKAn inspiring read about moving abroad and starting life again.

Rope
Language is the labyrinth we're enmeshed in, and any line of exploration we think is leading us out only adds a further strand to the entanglement. Rope presents an alluring and provocative array of insights as it follows a mind on the move, ever curious and restlessly making connections. Nuggets of wisdom, snippets of anecdote and choice quotations are collected here, signposted by suggestive shoulder notes. Together they form a kind of contemporary commonplace book, accumulating with associative loops and echoes. Across three prose sections, Maurice Riordan knots together strands including scientific inquiry, colour theory and AI, philosophy, ethics and psychoanalysis. There are instructive revelations about the art of poetry, about all literature - whether the 'folly of literary ambition' or the 'sinuous garland of plagiarism' - gleaned from a lifetime of reading and writing. The middle section delves into the author's personal history, evoking a childhood in rural Cork - 'I was born into a horse-drawn candlelit world' - and a 'new self' forged in fatherhood. Riordan is an intimate and jocular narrator throughout, calling upon everyone from Shakespeare to Schrödinger, Sappho to Siri in the shaping of these piquant and unforgettable discoveries.
On Witness and Respair
The collected creative nonfiction of a singular American writer, Jesmyn Ward, including widely shared classics, three never-before-published speeches, and an introductory essay. Respair (noun, obsolete), fresh hope after despair. From the two-time National Book Award winner and New York Times bestselling author Jesmyn Ward, this collection of essays documents more than a decade of work in the life of a singular writer often lauded as 'the heir apparent to Toni Morrison' (LitHub). Beginning with her upbringing in a multigenerational household in rural Mississippi, the cradle of both her youth and her gift for storytelling, Ward brings her keen wisdom and hauntingly lyrical prose to a range of topics, following in her grandmother Dorothy’s footsteps when she promises always to 'Tell it straight. Tell it all.'True to her word, in these pages Ward contemplates the writers and novels of her youth and adulthood — the transformative power of discovering Octavia Butler as a twenty-something, the mirror that Richard Wright’s novels held up to her own childhood, and of course, her lifelong love for Toni Morrison. Ward ruminates on her approach to both fiction and life, reflecting on the power of the novel, how to raise a Black son in an era of rising divisiveness and cruelty, as well as her own personal tragedies — including the titular essay of the collection, which tells the story of her partner’s sudden death on the eve of the COVID-19 epidemic. Every bit as piercing and moving as her fiction, On Witness and Respair is a testament to Ward’s powers as one of America’s finest living writers and is a monument to hope, beauty, and personal and collective resilience. PRAISE FOR JESMYN WARD:'One of the most important writers in America today' Ann Patchett'Ward writes like a dream: a real dream, uneasy, vivid and deep as the sea' The Times'Takes the territory made so familiar by writers such as William Faulkner... and reclaims it' Financial Times'Jesmyn is, simply, the best of us' Ta-Nehesi Coates
