The Mobius Book
The sudden, devastating breakup of a relationship in the winter of 2021 left Catherine Lacey depressed and adrift. She began cataloguing the wreckage of her life and the beauty of her friendships, a process that led to the writing of fiction that was both entirely imagined and strangely, utterly true. She soon realised that she was writing about her relationship with faith. Betrayed by the mercurial partner she had trusted and suddenly catapulted into the unknown, Lacey's appetite vanished completely, a visceral reminder of the teenage emaciation that followed the ending of her belief in God. Bending form, both she and her fictional characters recall gnostic experiences with animals, close encounters with male anger, grief-driven lust and the redemptive power of platonic love and narrative itself. A hybrid work that is both non-fiction and fiction with no beginning and no ending, The Möbius Book troubles the line between memory and imagination with an open-hearted defence of faith's inherent danger.
Ghosts of Iron Mountain
A Times History Book of the YearHow did America end up trapped in a nightmare of conspiracy theories, in which millions see the government as an evil ‘deep state’?In 1967, at the height of the Vietnam War, a group of New York writers concocted what appeared to be a top-secret government report into what would happen to the USA if permanent global peace broke out. Report from Iron Mountain claimed that winding down America’s vast war-making machinery would wreck the economy and tear society apart, necessitating draconian controls over the population. It was published as non-fiction – and was frighteningly convincing. Journalists tried to find out who had written it. Worried memos reached right up to the president. It became a bestselling cause celebre. Even when the hoax was revealed, many refused to believe it wasn’t real. The Report was seized on by eager figures on the far right and in the militia movement, who insisted that it revealed terrifying government conspiracies to pollute the environment, enslave Americans and even instigate eugenics. And its legacy lives on today. Ghosts of Iron Mountain traces this story through a gallery of vivid characters, from the radical academic C. Wright Mills and the writers E.L. Doctorow, Victor Navasky and Leonard Lewin in 1960s New York, to the far-right impresario Willis Carto, Oklahoma City bomber Timothy McVeigh, conspiracy theorist Milton William Cooper,L. Fletcher Prouty (the inspiration for ‘Mr X’ in the film JFK), and ranting broadcaster Alex Jones. This is one of the great stories of our time and reveals how nightmares about its own government drove America crazy.

Berlin
Written by one of the world's leading experts on the Eastern Front, this captivating history explores the final battle for Berlin and the heart of Germany. This sweeping saga takes us from the banks of the River Oder as the Red Army begins it relentless drive towards the still beating heart of the Third Reich: Berlin. Only the Seelow Heights stood between the Soviet forces and the capital. Over the course of three days in May 1945 almost one million Soviet troops would attack these final entrenched positions. Once these defences were breached it was guaranteed that a bitter street-by-street battle would take place in the city itself between a vengeful Red Army and desperate, fanatical Nazis until final capitulation. Using vivid first-hand accounts, Prit Buttar reveals the brutal combat that defined the final death throes of the Third Reich. Not only was the outcome of the war at stake. As the Red Army rolled into Berlin this was already a foregone conclusion even if it would take its toll in blood. Already battle lines for the forthcoming Cold War were being drawn. Stalin, fearful that the Western Powers would not honour their agreements, was determined to have boots on the ground to ensure his control of what would become the Soviet occupation zone. Berlin: Endgame 1945 is the brilliant account of the ferocious climax to World War II and a chilling prologue to the Cold War.
Win, Lose or Die
*From the acclaimed author of Ragged Edge*Road racers don't race for money; they race for the sheer rush of it. Skimming stone walls at speeds of over 200mph on bumpy, treacherous public roads with no room for errors offers a buzz like nothing else on earth. This is sport at its rawest, fastest, and most lethal. The Isle of Man TT and motorcycle road racing events like the North West 200, the Ulster Grand Prix, the Macau Grand Prix, and the Cookstown 100 are known for their uncompromising brutality and provide some of the greatest highs and the most tragic of lows seen in any sporting field. There are only three possible outcomes for riders: win, lose, or die. It's that basic; it's that savage. Over the years, some of the biggest names in motorcycle racing have tackled 'pure roads' events, including Geoff Duke, Mike Hailwood, Giacomo Agostini, Joey Dunlop, Carl Fogarty, and even the great Barry Sheene. Their modern counterparts, like John McGuinness and Michael Dunlop, continue to push speeds higher and higher, the risks increasing with every mph gained, year on year. Faster, faster, faster. Through a host of exclusive interviews with riders, mechanics, team bosses, and race organisers, Win, Lose or Die takes readers behind the scenes of one of the world's most dangerous sports, revealing the triumphs and tragedies, the blood, the guts, the sweat, and the tears that are involved in winning a road race. This is extreme sport at its most extreme and the definitive look at the biggest, most lethal, motorcycle road races from around the world.

Twelve Post-War Tales
The remarkable new work of fiction from the Booker Prize-winning author of Last Orders, Waterland and Mothering Sunday'His archly modulated, precise prose, reminiscent at times of his friend Kazuo Ishiguro’s, has lost none of its power ... immensely readable late-career Swift from start to finish, Twelve Post-War Tales is a marvel of the storyteller's art.' Financial Times‘There can surely be no better contemporary writer to take on history’s circularities that Graham Swift. … “Growing up in the 1950s there was all the evidence of war.” Swift has said. This beautiful cluster of stories shows how vital it remains in recollection.’ Observer'Skilful, generous and humane, these 12 tales suggest the complexity and heartbreak of being engaged on such an uncertain journey.' Guardian‘The characters in this collection share their thoughts and memories with the reader as though with a close friend, and the warmth of their confidences balances against their sadness. We feel we’ve been in the trenches with them, even when a story has gone no farther than the living room.’ Wall Street Journal'These stories, depth charges of love, anguish, resentment, each in their way relating to the effects of WW2, are so good. Swift at his best – and he’s on top form here – has the humanity and wry humour of William Trevor’, Patrick Gale'Quite wonderful. Such grace and clarity - I'm filled with admiration', Philip PullmanIn the aftermath of the Second World War Private Joseph Caan, a young Jewish soldier stationed in Germany, seeks the truth about lost family members; in the 1960s a father focuses on his daughter’s wedding even as the Cuban Missile Crisis brings the world to the brink of disaster; in 2001, while planes fly into the Twin Towers, a maid working for US Embassy staff in London wonders if her birth on the day of the Kennedy assassination shaped her life; and at the height of a pandemic lockdown, Dr. Cole, a retired specialist in respiratory disease, returns to work and recalls a formative childhood encounter with illness and much more. These are just a few of the challenged characters we meet in Graham Swift’s Twelve Post-war Tales. Tender, humane, funny and moving, Swift’s latest work of fiction displays his quietly commanding ability to set the personal and the ordinary against the harsh sweep of history. It is an outstanding achievement, confirming his status as one of the great and subtlest voices of our age.
Frida Slattery As Herself
‘This sweeping will-they-won’t-they love story has echoes of One Day' Sunday Times‘Took me back to the way I felt when reading Normal People’ Stylist‘A sexy, sprawling epic’ Glamour ‘Gorgeous, immersive’ Roisín O'Donnell'Moving, thought-provoking and utterly delightful’ Elif Batuman A BBC Culture Pick for 2026 ‘You could probably run cities on the energy generated between directors like him and actresses like her’When Frida Slattery and John Reddan meet in a Dublin pub in 2005, neither can imagine how they will come to shape and define each other’s lives. Frida is struggling to launch her acting career, while John is already gaining a name for himself as a director. From the first they see in each other potential and the chance to create work that matters, though the lines between collaboration and exploitation, friendship and desire will prove dangerously slippery. With the financial crisis looming, the next 16 years takes them from Dublin to London, via New York and LA, and through success and disappointment, joy and heartbreak. Their connection is tested and stretched to the point of rupture, but something remains that outlasts both their work and their own shifting perceptions. FRIDA SLATTERY AS HERSELF is an unforgettable story of love, artistic collaboration, and two people coming of age, together and apart. Readers are loving FRIDA SLATTERY'Totally riveting. A propulsive and compelling story of love, collaboration and all its complexities’‘Funny and wise with so many interesting ideas about relationships and making art and growing up.

These characters feel so real – they are raw, frustrating, flawed, and addictive!’'An absorbing, wise and honest read… I'll be recommending it to everyone!’ – Lizzy Stewart, author of ALISON and THE WRECK‘A virtuosic and assured journey through two entwined lives – I was so wholly and breathtakingly invested in each character that I felt genuinely bereft when I was finished. It has such heart and vibrancy, and an abundance of style' – Sophie Mackintosh, author of THE WATER CURE and PERMANENCE'An expansive, deeply felt love letter to artistic expression, as compelling and ambitious as it is beautifully written. Ana Kinsella handles big themes – power, desire, success – with great subtlety and skill’ - Lisa Owens, author of NOT WORKING and NATURAL DISASTER
