The Book Game
‘A wonderfully clever and howlingly funny thriller’ The Spectator 'Glitters with secret agendas, hidden lies and sun-soaked desires' Emma Stonex 'Whip-smart and made me laugh out loud. Magnificent' Joanna Cannon 'Thorny and sexy' Beth Morrey 'Pulsing with heat and intrigue' Marianne Levy What if your perfect life was a charade? It is August, and eight old friends have gathered at a country house for a writers' retreat. By day, there is reading beside the pool or writing in the shady corners of the estate. In the evenings – drinks, dinner outdoors, games, midnight swimming. But as temperatures rise in the stifling last days of summer, tensions do too. Old jealousies, new temptations and bitter rivalries bubble to the surface. By the end of the week, friendships – and lives – will have changed forever. Astute, witty and page-turning, The Book Game is a novel about ambition, competition, regret and desire; about paths not taken and last chances suddenly seized; about the games people play. It asks what it means, in all senses, to be in the middle of life.

Sylvie is only happy when she is at therapy. This is because Sylvie is in love with her therapist. She wants to kiss her and roll around on the floor with her. She thinks about her every second they’re not together (roughly 167 hours and 10 minutes per week). Outside therapy, Sylvie has a quiet life: a job as a veterinary nurse, a tattoo artist friend and seaside walks with her brain-damaged dog, Curtains. When her therapist delivers some devastating news, Sylvie finds she must imagine new and lasting ways of coping (that don't include being adopted by the therapist). As her world begins to open up, Sylvie wonders, is she finally ready for a bravery of feeling? ‘Funny and thoughtful … a meditative balm to all who worry’ SUNDAY TIMES STYLE ‘Jaw-dropping, exhilarating, completely original’ JESSICA STANLEY, author of Consider Yourself Kissed ‘Disarmingly sweet’ NICOLA DINAN, author of Disappoint Me ‘A humorous portrait of trauma and obsession’ ANOTHER ‘A book full of wisdom … Clever and funny’ DAILY MAIL ‘Had me hopelessly charmed from its opening sentence’ AMY KEY, author of Arrangements in Blue ‘A fever dream of a novel … For fans of Sayaka Murata's Convenience Store Woman’ SHARLENE TEO, author of Ponti Readers love Happiness Forever ?: ‘Utterly beguiling … a truly memorable read’ ‘Quite honestly couldn’t put it down’ ‘An utter joy to read!

Maybe The Moon

There hasn't been a funnier, or sadder, novel this year’ Entertainment Weekly__________All of thirty-one inches tall, Cadence (Cady) Roth is a true survivor in a town where - as she says - 'you can die of encouragement'. Her early leading role as a lovable elf in a smash-hit American film proved a major disappointment since moviegoers never saw the face behind the rubber mask. After a decade of hollow promises from the Industry, she is still waiting for the miracle that will make her a star. From her infrequent meetings with agents and studio moguls to her regular, harrowing encounters with small children, large dogs and human ignorance, we track our spunky heroine across the saffron-hazed wasteland of Los Angeles. Then one day a lanky piano player saunters into Cady's life, unleashing heady new emotions, and she finds herself going for broke, shooting the moon with a scheme so hare-brained and daring that it just might succeed... Maybe the Moon is the poignant and moving tale of an outsider told from the inside which eloquently speaks to the resilience of the human spirit.

The Collected Prose of Sylvia Plath
The complete edition of Sylvia Plath's prose including much unpublished and previously uncollected material, edited by Peter K. Steinberg. The Collected Prose stands alongside the Journals (2000) and the two volume Letters (2017 and 2018) to support a more complete understanding of Sylvia Plath's ambition and achievement as a writer. Expanding on the selection published as Johnny Panic and the Bible of Dreams (1977), this volume draws together all of Sylvia Plath's shorter prose, much of which is previously uncollected and unpublished. The volume embraces her experiments with the short story and pieces of non-fiction from the 1940s through to her more polished compositions of the fifties and early sixties, including fragments of fiction as well as her journalism and book reviews. Themes and associations become apparent as the volume offers new, intertextual ways of reading across Plath's oeuvre, colouring and shading our understanding and appreciation of her extraordinary talent. 'To see so much of [Plath's] surviving fiction and journalism, so many of her essays and reviews, finally published under one cover is to be surprised all over again by the breadth of her vision, ambition and talent . . . A major literary event and an invaluable scholarly resource.' Heather Clark, TLSFrom reviews of The Letters of Sylvia Plath, Volume I: 1940-1956 and Volume II: 1956-1963:'Sylvia Plath was not only a great poet, she also forged some of the best prose of the twentieth century. . . she wrote letters of extraordinary wit and vivacity. Their publication is a major literary event.' The Times'These letters are by turns poignant, revelatory, banal, hilarious and self-absorbed, documenting as they do the changing moods, ambitions and intellectual and creative development of one of the twentieth century's most celebrated poets.' Evening Standard'Such was the impact of [Plath's] exploration of both inner and outer landscapes in staggeringly intense, brutal and lyrical language that her loss to the literary world has been mourned ever since.' Financial Times
