Featuring a race-by-race rundown alongside over 100 stunning full-colour photographs. 'Relive the euphoric highs and the gut-wrenching lows of one of the most dramatic title fights in F1 history. Nate Saunders pens an outstanding blow-by-blow account of Lando Norris’ remarkable journey to world championship glory in the face of adversity' - Lawrence Barretto, F1’s Lead Correspondent and Channel 4’s F1 Reporter‘With customary wit and warmth, Nate Saunders brilliantly retells the story of a season that defied all expectations...’ - Alex Jacques, Author of Grid to Glory Lando Norris: Road to World Champion charts his extraordinary rise to become motorsport’s 2025 standout star. From a shy, gaming-obsessed teenager to Britain’s newest Formula One World Champion, Norris’ journey is anything but straightforward. Despite starting out as an early fan favourite at McLaren – funny, relatable and refreshingly vulnerable – questions persisted about whether he had the ruthlessness required to reach the sport’s summit. But now, after recently becoming the Winner of the Laureus World Breakthrough of the Year Award and gaining an F1 title win, it seems like the only way is up for Norris. Here, Formula One journalist Nate Saunders of ESPN — a leading global multiplatform sports brand — reveals that Norris’s story is ultimately one of perseverance and authenticity. The dramatic 2025 title fight, against teammate Oscar Piastri and the formidable Max Verstappen, pushed him harder than ever and went down to the last second, but in the pressure cooker of Abu Dhabi he proved his mettle. In a full-colour celebration featuring over 100 photographs, Nate Saunders traces Lando’s journey to win the title and offers insider access to how he rewrote the script for what a champion can look like. This is the race-by-race story of a young man who faced his fears, silenced the doubters and won the biggest prize in motorsport – his way.

Say Everything
"Yep, Ione Skye wrote a memoir. I gobbled it up." – Miranda July In this instant New York Times bestselling memoir, Gen X icon Ione Skye shares her “delightfully juicy” (People) and achingly vulnerable story about chasing fame, desire, and true love in the shadow of her famous, absent father. In 1987, sixteen-year-old Ione Skye landed the breakout role of Diane Court, the dream girl who inspires John Cusack’s iconic boombox serenade in the hit Cameron Crowe film, Say Anything. While Skye seemed perfectly typecast as an aloof valedictorian, she was anything but. Deserted by her dad, the folk singer legend Donovan, Skye was a ninth-grade dropout who sought solace and validation in the eyes of audiences and dreamy costars like Keanu Reeves, River Phoenix, Matthew Perry, John Cusack, and Robert Downey Jr. But like her sixties It Girl mom, Skye’s greatest weakness was musicians. On the heels of a toxic relationship with the Red Hot Chili Peppers’ Anthony Kiedis, which began when she was just sixteen and he was twenty-four, the actress leapt into wedded bliss with her first great love, Beastie Boy Adam Horovitz. But marriage was not the magical hall pass to adulthood Skye had imagined. Awakening to her bisexuality and desperately insecure, she risked her fairytale marriage for a string of affairs with gorgeous nineties “bad girls.” The dream marriage imploded, and Skye’s trust in herself and her future along with it. Set against a backdrop of rock royalty compounds, supermodel cliques, and classic late-century films like River’s Edge, Gas Food Lodging, and Wayne’s World, Say Everything is a wild ride of Hollywood thrills as well as a lyrical reflection on ambition, intimacy, and a messy, sexy, unconventional life.

Songs for Ghosts
'A beautiful and highly original voice' Observer'A deeply satisfying read' Irish Times'Pure captivation from one of Ireland’s rising talents' Irish ExaminerFrom Catfish Rolling's Clara Kumagai, a second novel full of longing, love and heartbreak, inspired by Puccini's Madame Butterfly.

A Granite Silence
A Granite Silence is an exploration - a journey through time to a particular house, in a particular street, Urquhart Road, Aberdeen in 1934, where eight-year-old Helen Priestly lives with her mother and father. Among this long, grey corridor of four-storey tenements, a daunting expanse of granite, working families are squashed together like pickled herrings in their narrow flats. Here are Helen's neighbours: the Topps, the Josses, the Mitchells, the Gordons, the Donalds, the Coulls and the Hunts. Returning home from school for her midday meal, Helen is sent by her mother Agnes to buy a loaf from the bakery at the end of the street. Agnes never sees her daughter alive again. Nina Allan explores the aftermath of Helen's disappearance, turning a probing eye to the close-knit neighbourhood - where everyone knows everyone, at least by sight - and with subtlety and sympathy, explores the intricate layers of truth and falsehood that can coexist in one moment of history. Full of echoes, allusions and eerie diversions, A Granite Silence is an investigation into a notorious true crime case, but also a stylish, imaginative inquiry into who gets to tell a story, how it is told, and why.
Six Trains of No Return
Six Trains of No Return collects twelve short stories and novellas that examine immigrant sagas and dislocations that are both uniquely personal and universal. These are the stories of past lives and loves, memories both fragile and unreliable, and our shared ties to larger historical narratives. They also evoke the Soviet Jewish experience during what was thought to be “The End of History” of the waning days of the USSR. A French-Cambodian woman embarks on a series of mysterious trips to the “killing fields” of her youth, an encounter in a Nigerian jail forces the narrator to face an impossible moral dilemma, a tender friendship grows between three young soldiers drafted into the Soviet army, a story of a young man’s chance romantic encounter with a childhood friend and how it triggers memories of long-forgotten schoolyard cruelties, a pair of soldiers in the waning days of the Soviet Union watching the movie Jaws for the first time at a semi-underground video salon. Emotionally resonant yet edged with quiet humor, these stories explore themes of displacement, belonging, and memory—speaking across cultures and backgrounds.
