The Body Builders
Ada lives a solitary life. She spends her days swimming in her apartment building''s pool, occasionally visiting her cousin Francesca, meeting people for drinks, navigating the social mores of a cold and isolating London. Ada''s parents are recently divorced: her father spends his days at the gym, warm with human proximity. Her mother spends her days alone.When she meets a man named Atticus by the pool, Ada immediately senses an intimate connection between them: as if they share a life, in a way she can''t explain, maybe even a consciousness. Little by little, Ada''s estrangement from her familiar surroundings, memories and reality widens, as though she is seeing her reflection through a mirror, pieces of it falling away. She worries she may be losing her mind.After her mother entreats Ada to join her on a remote Greek holiday, Ada''s connection to her world and her body itself, falls away completely. She is jolted into a new, artificial environment - The Facility: a place apparently designed to meet her every wish, but where secrets hide along endless hallways and behind closed doors. When a person''s life, in the odd space between mind and body, is inherently one of isolation, are our connections with those around us merely projections of ourselves? And if not, where do they come from?With precision, subtlety, and confidence Albertine Clarke transforms touches of the sci-fi into an entirely singular experience of deep interiority. The Body Builders lands like a blow, widening a crack that allows us to perceive the world differently than we ever imagined.
The Asset Class
A thrilling, eye-opening investigation into private equity, a secretive wing of the finance industry that is so relentlessly destructive, it could have been created to undermine our way of life
You don't know their names, but they own the house you rent. They own your hospitals, nurseries and care homes, the media you consume and the companies you work for. They even own the tools your union uses to fight back. Business is a contest - and they say their people are built to win. But when does competition become a struggle to the death?
For decades, private equity firms have infiltrated every corner of modern life. Wielding debt as a weapon, they push vital services into crisis. Their cover story: that this is merely the 'creative destruction' essential to growth. Old-school capitalists say they're dismantling everything that made our economies work.
In The Asset Class, reporter Hettie O'Brien penetrates a hidden empire of billion-dollar deals and covert financial warfare. From Copenhagen to San Francisco, Barcelona to the Yorkshire Dales, she follows the money, the ideological roots and the trail of destruction. What she finds is chilling: private equity isn't just reshaping the economy - it's selling out the foundations of Western society.
The new owners think they can hide in the shadows. But the owned are fighting back.
Season of Fear
'A beguiling dark fantasy debut that smoulders like hearth-fire' AVA REID, Sunday Times bestselling author of A Study in Drowning 'Strikes the perfect balance between fairytale and terror' JAMISON SHEA, author of I Feed Her to the Beast and the Beast Is Me 'A vividly imagined page-turner with a thought-provoking take on gender inequality' KATHRYN FOXFIELD, author of Good Girls Die First BLOOD SPILLS FROM VEINS, SKIN STARTS TO CRACK, IGNORE THE FOREST; TURN BACK, TURN BACK... In the village of Heulensee, Ilse Odenwald dreams of being afraid. Because in Heulensee, fearfulness is next to godliness. A monstrous forest borders the village – the Hexenwald. Its horrors attack every time the sky turns blood-red. The townsfolk’s only defence comes from the gruesome, ancient Saint of Fear, who demands the women and girls offer up their terror in return for its protection. Born without the ability to feel fear, Ilse is an outsider. As hard as she tries, she cannot bring forth the dread that the Saint of Fear demands. When it discovers her divergence, the Saint levels a threat: Ilse must find her fear, or it will devour her sister. Unable to lose Thea, the only person who understands her, Ilse enters the Hexenwald, hoping that the monsters it harbours will finally scare her. But the forest is hiding a multitude of secrets and Ilse is about to discover that there’s much more than fear to be found within...Inspired by Bavarian folklore, Season of Fear is a beautifully dark feminist fairytale for fans of Ava Reid and Hannah Whitten, which features a seductive lesbian romance and explores the power in being different and accepting yourself for who you are.

Cate Kay is the most famous author on the planet. But it's just a name. Somehow, the woman behind the books has remained completely anonymous.
Anne Marie Callahan is the name nobody knows. Annie knows there's no one left to connect the dots between the novelist and the girl who ran away all those years ago.
If you asked, she'd say her name was Cass Ford. That's what her barista shouts each morning. And it's how she introduces herself to the woman she'll eventually call the love of her life.
Three names, three lives. Cate Kay is finally ready to tell you who she really is.
And when the truth is out, will everyone's favourite novelist hold on to her place in our hearts or are some betrayals impossible to forgive?
Cynics
'A love that cannot be throttled by the rubber tube of an enema bulb is immortal.'Bookish and idealistic Vladimir is tormented with love for Olga; he brings her flowers when other men bring her flour and millet. Olga eventually agrees to marry him, as her building’s central heating will be out of service all winter and at least with two in the bed they’ll be warmer. When she decides she’d like to serve the revolution, he introduces her to his brother Sergei, a Bolshevik who manages the waterways.Thus begins an excruciating love triangle, measured in ration coupons and black market goods. Described by the poet Joseph Brodsky as 'one of the most innovative novels in Russian literature', Marienhof’s Cynics is a pitch-black comedy set during the wild and savage years of War Communism and the New Economic Policy. Cinematic in its style and collagist in its aesthetic, it establishes Marienhof as a true formal radical.It is a bawdy, savage, lavishly emotional portrayal of working for the revolution (and trying to ignore it).
Into the Wreck
How do you mourn someone you never really knew?

Yet, as the funeral looms, their everyday concerns refuse to diminish: will newly sex-obsessed Gemma work out what she wants from life, beyond her mother's expectations? Can Anna maintain the fine balance between desire and nonchalance with her not-quite-exclusive boyfriend back in London? Will Amy's past explode the relationships of the present? And, crucially, will Yvonne pull off her grand, post-funeral family dinner, the solution to what she fears may be an unsolvable problem?
Told from five perspectives, into the wreck worries at the knotty complexities of one family's bonds, written with Susannah Dickey's trademark empathy and wit.

The Rules of Dating My One-Night Stand - Hogyan randizzunk az egyéjszakás kalandunkkal? - Hogyan randizzunk? 3.
Az egyéjszakás kalandok első és legfontosabb szabálya: ne szeress bele a nőbe!
Egy hosszúra nyúló magánéleti válságot követően végre megismerkedtem valakivel, akitől szikra gyúlt a bensőmben. Jobban mondva, a szikrák akkor pattantak ki, amikor összetűzésbe keveredtünk. Majd később - még aznap éjszaka - lángra lobbantak.
Egyetlen nő sem volt még rám olyan hatással, mint Devyn.
Mondanom sem kell, mennyire lelombozott, amikor egy csodás, együtt töltött éjszaka után egyszerűen faképnél hagyott. Képtelen voltam elfelejteni, de ő még a számát sem adta meg. Azt hittem, sosem találkozunk újra.
Ezért képzelhetitek, mennyire megdöbbentem, amikor az egyik szomszédom ajtaján kopogtatva nem más nyitott ajtót, mint ő.
Korábban azt hittem, hogy Devynt egyszerűen nem érdeklem. De szerinted mit érzett, amikor megtudta, hogy én vagyok a főbérlője, és éppen ki akarom lakoltatni...?
