The Ocean Would Paint Me Blue
What if you felt like you'd cried all the colours away? The heart-wrenching new story of friendship, loss and identity from the author of international bestseller As Long As the Lemon Trees Grow.
Joining an exclusive high school should be a fresh start for Jihad after her mother's sudden death. But she's the only Muslim student there; her hijab and even her name make her new classmates suspicious.
Only one person treats her with kindness but Jihad can't help questioning his motives. It's hard to trust anyone when she meets indifference or hostility all around her. As tension mounts, she finds refuge in an old sketchbook and in the stories her mama used to tell her. She is determined to focus on making it to art school and a brighter future, but as she starts illustrating her mother's memories, her canvas becomes bigger than she could ever have imagined.
Can Jihad become as resilient as the true meaning of her name, and let the colour back into her life?
An unputdownable story about family, friendship, grief and trust from a masterful writer of the genre.
The Break-In
You know who. But you don't know why
Alice didn't mean to kill the intruder. She only meant to stop him hurting her daughter when he burst into her kitchen and grabbed a knife.
The police agree that she acted in self-defence, but wracked with guilt, Alice sets out to apologise to Linda, the mother of the young man she killed. But nothing unfolds as planned.
Alice can't bring herself to tell Linda who she really is and the more Alice learns about Ezra and why he was at her house, the more she starts to wonder whether she has the full picture about what happened that terrible day.
The new must-read thriller from the rising star of smart suspense fiction.
Intimacy
From the initial spark of attraction when your eyes first meet, to spontaneously dancing together in the kitchen and falling asleep side by side - how do we create those intimate moments of connection?
How we see sex and intimacy portrayed on screen has profound effects on how we learn to love each other, but before Ita O'Brien, no-one was thinking about it. After a lifetime of working in film and TV and seeing its abuses first-hand, Ita decided to change how we portray intimacy for good.
Now, as Intimacy Coordinator on productions including Normal People, Sex Education and I May Destroy You, Ita has transformed the way we see and talk about sex in pop-culture. Here, Ita guides us through how she helps actors create authentic sex scenes, and how we can use those techniques to rebuild a deeper and healthier connection with our bodies, create a safe space for exploration, and rethink how we navigate sex and intimacy in our own lives - at home, in our closest relationships - and in society as a whole.
Full of behind-the-scenes stories from her work on set, Intimacy is a call for us to rethink how we navigate ourselves and each other, not just through our words, but through our bodies and actions, too.
Fires Which Burned Brightly
In Fires Which Burned Brightly, Faulks, a reluctant memoirist, offers readers a series of detailed snapshots from a life in progress. They include a post-war rural childhood – ‘cold mutton and wet washing on a rack over the range’ – the booze-sodden heyday of Fleet Street and a career as one of the country’s most acclaimed novelists.
There are not one, but two daring escapes from boarding school; the delirium of a jetlagged American book tour; the writing of Birdsong in his brother’s house in 1992; and memorable trips across the channel to France. Politics, psychiatry and frustrated ventures into the world of entertainment are analysed with patience and rueful humour.
The book is driven by a desire ‘to arrive where we started and know the place for the first time.’ It ends with a tribute to Faulks’s parents and a sense of how his own generation was shaped by the disruptive power of war and its aftermath.
Sharply perceptive and alive with a generous wit, Fires Which Burned Brightly is a work of subtle yet profound intelligence and warmth.

A sizzling new adult sports romance, for fans of Heated Rivalry, Challengers, Carrie Soto is Back and Red, White and Royal Blue.
Game. Set. Perfect Match?
Recently-turned-pro tennis player Austin Hardy has been out since high school, and it's never been a big deal. That is, until he becomes the first openly gay man to compete in a Grand Slam tournament. Suddenly, being gay is a huge deal.
If the newly found fame wasn't enough to send Austin spiralling, then tripping and falling in front of the very talented, very attractive, (probably) straight World #2, Diego Cruz, is the last straw.
Only, the awkward gaffe marks the start of a blossoming friendship off the court. But when Diego admits his attraction to Austin, the flirty banter and mixed signals start to throw Austin off his game. And neither player wants to acknowledge their looming showdown at the fourth round of the US Open.
Only one can win in the game of tennis, but who will win in the game of love?
The Ten Stories
Out of the countless experiences in a lifetime, why are certain narratives chosen, repeated, and preserved by aging individuals? The Ten Stories suggests that most elderly people return to a core set of approximately ten stories as they reflect on their lives. The significance of those narratives lies not in their factual details, but in the values and meanings they convey. Most stories told are set during late adolescence and early adulthood – often eight or nine out of ten originate during this period. The stories are also audience-specific, as they are shaped by the relationship between teller and listener. The book explores how stories told by mothers are different than those told by fathers; how stories told to sons differ from those told to daughters; and how the stories of immigrant parents differ from non-immigrants. Social scientist and health policy researcher Mary Ann McColl provides insight into what older adults may be expressing through repeated stories. She shares twenty recurring themes emerging from the stories – such as overcoming obstacles, showing kindness, regrets and resentments, and standing up for what’s right – that represent an opportunity for connection and understanding, rather than a source of frustration. This book offers practical strategies for listening more effectively and appreciating those narratives as intentional, meaningful acts of communication.

Bacon Disfigured
A collection of essays that opens up new connections between Francis Bacon's art and the ideas of key thinkers.
Francis Bacon is undoubtedly one of the most important artists of the twentieth century. In his paintings, Bacon radically disfigures his subjects, making them all but unrecognizable. This is no mere stylistic quirk, but the expression of a deeply held aesthetic vision. For Bacon, the essence of a subject can only be captured in the distorted recording of its appearance. His disfigurations are therefore, as he himself says, attempts to bring back the intensity of reality, to paint images that are 'truer than the literal truth'.
In this groundbreaking collection of essays, some of today's leading philosophers and psychoanalytic theorists go to work on Bacon. They do to the artist what the artist does to his own figures: they disfigure and distort him, twisting and turning him into something new and previously unseen. This strategy of disfiguration blasts Bacon out of his traditional contexts, opening up new connections between his art and the ideas of key thinkers, including Kant, Marx, Nietzsche, Baudelaire, Freud, Canguilhem, Genet, Lacan, Adorno and Althusser. The results are revelatory, allowing us to transform our understanding not only of Bacon but also of modernism itself.
Lamborghini
Since the unveiling of the Lamborghini Miura – the world’s first V12-powered mid-engine road car – at the 1966 Geneva Motor Show, this marque from Sant’Agata Bolognese with the raging bull emblem has been one of the most famous and desirable purveyors of the supercar. Valentino Balboni, legendary former Lamborghini test driver, has been famously quoted as saying “Lamborghini is a carmaker that makes engines, the job of the designers was to design the engine cover.” Yet, in its almost six decades long history, the supercar maker has constructed just four different engines: the extraordinary Giotto Bizzarrini-designed V12 that powered Lamborghini’s flagships for the best part of five decades, a promising V8 that almost brought the company to its knees, a V10 that uses many Audi components and has been the mainstay of the marque in the last two decades, and lastly another newer V12, powering the Aventador. However, what has really distinguished Lamborghini, has been a series of models with remarkable, groundbreaking shapes, each one a veritable design revolution. Cars like the Miura, the Espada, the Urraco, the Countach and the Diablo astounded and startled automotive fans just as much by their daring shape, form and aesthetic purity, as by their second-to-none engineering and trendsetting packaging. This book celebrates the design history of Lamborghini through numerous period reports and previously unpublished images, delving into the extraordinary shapes and the intrepid personalities who made Lamborghini what it is today. .

Zákonník práce – zákon s komentárom
Dňa 15. apríla 2026 bol schválený nový zákon zákona o rovnakom odmeňovaní mužov a žien za rovnakú prácu alebo za prácu rovnakej hodnoty. Zákon svojím spôsobom ovplyvňuje aj základný pracovnoprávny predpis, ktorým je Zákonník práce. Vzhľadom na novú právnu úpravu sa v Zákonníku práce vypustila úprava o práve na rovnakú mzdu pre mužov a ženy a ponechal sa odkaz na úpravu rovnakého odmeňovania na osobitný predpis, ktorým je práve nový zákon č. 76/2026 Z. z. Právo na rovnaké odmeňovanie podľa nového zákona je totiž širšie, nezahŕňa iba mzdu, ale všetky základné a doplnkové zložky odmeny. V ustanovená § 119a Zákonníka práce sa ponechalo zakotvenie práva na rovnaké odmeňovanie pre osoby rovnakého pohlavia za rovnakú prácu alebo za prácu rovnakej hodnoty s tým, že rovnaká práca alebo práca rovnakej hodnoty sa v záujme jednotnosti bude určovať na základe tých istých kritérií ako v novom zákone.
Vzpomínky na mrtvé
V tomto mrazivém románu autora „nezapomenutelného a děsivého“ (cit. Harlan Coben) Honu na Bubáka se skupina studentů během cesty po Apalačských horách střetne s nadpřirozenou hrůzou.
1983: Tři vysokoškolští studenti se vydávají na týdenní výlet, aby pro svůj školní projekt natočili dokument o pomníčcích u silnice. Projekt začíná jako zábavné dobrodružství provázené dlouhými jízdami po prázdných silnicích a nočními táboráky, kde se sobě navzájem začínají otevírat.
Když se však odváží vydat hlouběji do apalačských lesů, atmosféra začíná temnět. Všímají si, že stále více památníků obsahuje zvláštní, znepokojivý symbol, který ukazuje na zlověstné tajemství. Paranoia se prohlubuje, když se jim začne zdát, že jsou sledováni. S jejich vozidlem je přes noc manipulováno a někteří místní obyvatelé působí všelijak, jen ne vlídně.
Zanedlouho začne studenty trápit otázka, zda tato úmrtí na silnici byla skutečně náhodnými nehodami… nebo se tady děje cosi děsivého?

Asi nejsem na tenhle svět stavěná
V osmnácti letech se Marie nechá dobrovolně hospitalizovat v psychiatrické léčebně. Od té chvíle jde ale všechno z kopce. Mrazivě upřímný příběh z místa, kde se nikdo z nás netouží ocitnout.
Marie má milující rodiče, stabilní zázemí a všechny předpoklady pro šťastný život. Něco je ale špatně. Přestává jíst, řeže se žiletkou a z videí na YouTube se naučí píchat si heroin, jen aby umlčela hlasy v hlavě. Jenže ty se umlčet nedají. Nutí ji odmítat léky a trestat se, jinak prý ublíží její rodině. Hranice mezi halucinacemi a realitou se rozplývá.
Marie se zas a znovu vrací na uzavřené oddělení. Tam tráví dlouhé hodiny i celé dny připoutaná k lůžku. Podstupuje léčbu elektrošoky. Nic ovšem nezabírá. Selhává systém, selhává ona sama. Přesto temnotou občas probleskne naděje, humor a lidskost.

Mother Mary Comes To Me
The incredible first memoir from the Booker-winning radical icon Arundhati Roy, author of The God of Small Things
THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER
SHORTLISTED FOR WATERSTONES BOOK OF THE YEAR 2025
SHORTLISTED FOR THE WOMENS PRIZE FOR NONFICTION 2026
'Heart-smashed' by the death of the mother she ran from at age eighteen and shaken by the intensity of her response, Arundhati Roy began this remarkable memoir - a soaring account, both intimate and inspiring, of how the author became the person and the writer she is: shaped by circumstance, but above all by her relationship to her extraordinary, singular mother, Mary, who she describes as 'my shelter and my storm'.
With the scale, sweep and depth of her novels, and the passion, political clarity and warmth of her essays, Mother Mary Comes to Me is an ode to freedom, a tribute to thorny love and savage grace - a memoir like no other.
A Taste For Murder
For Detective Chief Inspector Joe Mottram, a summer on the island of Capri was meant to be an opportunity to reconnect with his troubled teenage daughter, Angelica, and his Italian in-laws, after his wife's Francesca's death by a hit-and-run.
But when a British tourist is found dead and a member of his late wife's family is accused of murder, Joe is pulled back into a world of police cells, crime scenes and local corruption. As he discovers more about the island, he realises it holds the answers to Francesca's death, which may not have been a tragic accident after all.
Going Nuclear
What if climate change isn't an environmental challenge, but an energy challenge?
This visionary book urges us to rethink the path to net zero, arguing that the solution to climate change lies not simply in replacing fossil fuels with renewables, but in fully embracing another energy source that emits zero carbon dioxide: nuclear power.
Dr Tim Gregory dismantles the conventional wisdom that renewables are completely 'green', and debunks myths surrounding waste and radiation, demonstrating that nuclear power is not only reliable, safe and potent, but the most environmentally responsible way to harvest energy. He calls for decarbonisation to be the twenty-first century's Apollo programme, making the bold case for an alternative, sustainable and prosperous future.
Ferment
An inspiring guide to the life-changing power of fermentation from world-leading gut scientist and no. 1 bestselling author Tim Spector
From kombucha and kefir to sourdough, miso and coffee, Professor Tim Spector dispels the myths around fermented foods. He explains what fermented foods are, what to look for when buying them, how to make them at home, and why adding simple ferments to everyday meals can transform your gut health and overall well-being.
Blending cutting-edge science with practical, reassuring advice, Ferment shows how small changes to what's on your plate can make a big difference to your health.
The Revolutionists
A thrilling and unprecedented account of the radicalism and political extremism that gripped the 1970s - a seismic decade that transformed the modern world.
In the 1970s, a network of extremists terrorised the West with intricately planned plane hijackings and hostage-takings. Among them were the glamorous Leila Khaled, hard-drinking Carlos the Jackal, and radical leftists of the Baader-Meinhof Gang, all united by their hatred of Israel, capitalism and 'Western imperialism'. Their audacious attacks brought governments to their knees and glued nations to their TV screens.
Drawing on decades of research, declassified and secret documents, and first-hand interviews with hijackers, spies, witnesses and victims, Jason Burke takes us inside these often-deadly operations. In this underground realm of loyalty, betrayal and commitment to radical change at any cost, he reveals the dark origins of our fractured world today.
