The Fallen Trees Are Also the Forest
In a very few, perfectly chosen words, Alejandra Kamiya conjures vast territories of shadow: all that we can never fully express. As dawn breaks, a woman prepares to make a perfect breakfast for her husband and son, while a subtle note of disquiet grows louder. An isolated Japanese soldier obeys an inexplicable command, and his sense of identity begins to dissolve. Two girls discover themselves through electrically charged games, which they will recall in letters for the rest of their lives. Set between Japan and Argentina, these entrancing stories of loss and exile circle around our deepest, most mysterious emotional truths, culminating in startling moments of revelation.

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.

Shortlisted for the Financial Times and Schroders Business Book of the Year
The book we need to understand China today: a riveting, first-hand account of its seismic progress from an indispensable expert voice
For close to a decade, Dan Wang has been observing China's tumultuous and astounding growth. The state has constructed towering bridges, gleaming railways and sprawling factories to improve economic outcomes in record time. But rapid change has also sent ripples of pain throughout society.
China has grown so quickly in part by beating America at its own game: capitalism and harnessing the restless energy of a vast population. Here Wang blends political and economic analysis with reportage into a provocative new framework for understanding China - one that helps us see America more clearly, too. Whereas China is an engineering state, relentlessly building big, the United States has transformed into a lawyerly society, stalling every attempt to make change, both good and bad.
As relations between the US and China are tense and uncertain and the potential for dreadful conflict looms, Wang offers an inventive new way of thinking about the two superpowers. Breakneck reveals that each country points towards a better path for the other. How much better the world would be, he argues, if Americans could live in a society not only governed by lawyers, and Chinese citizens could live with a state that values their individual liberties.
Cain
Written in the last years of Saramago's life, Cain is a controversial and witty story of a wilful, authoritarian God.

As he moves through time, he encounters moments from the Old Testament - acts of faith, violence and divine judgement that he cannot accept without question. Cain is José Saramago's bold, darkly playful reimagining of a biblical outcast.
