'This raw and fearless exploration of life, loss and mostly love - it is totally unforgettable.' Elle's Most Hyped Books of 2026'Beautifully written' - Telegraph'Stunning, lyrical and deeply felt.' Clover StroudWe Are Each Other tells Jess' story of becoming a mother while losing her own to a sudden terminal diagnosis. It's about loss, yes, but at its core it's about how we love when we are living on the threshold of life and death with someone central to our being and place in the world. Jess' mother was the beloved Tessa Jowell MP. She lived a public life, but this is not the story of a public person - it's the story of a mother and daughter, walking both sides of life and death together. The writing began as a way to metabolise her own experience, it tells the story of the way they loved, the way Jess grieved, and the way she renewed in that life-defining year. But the long and enduring journey of completing it over several years sharpened and galvanised its ultimate purpose to be about so much more than Jess and Tessa. It is ultimately for anyone who has loved and lost someone at the centre of their world and identity. That is its purpose: to give language and greater articulation to this most universal human experience.

This is the incredible untold story of four women who helped win World War II by generating a wave of black propaganda. Betty MacDonald was a 28-year-old reporter from Hawaii.

Exploring the fine line between dishonesty and reinvention, Saoirse is an evocative and compelling story of a woman perpetually in flight. A book for fans of Trespasses by Louise Kennedy and Barbara's Kingsolver's Demon Copperhead. In the wilds of Donegal, Ireland, 1999, Saoirse is an artist living an outwardly idyllic life. Her tender husband Daithí and two beloved daughters are regular subjects for her work, and in them she has found the safe home that she has always longed for. She tends not to talk about her past, and those that love her have learned to accept that the full story is too painful for her to disclose. When her Dublin exhibition unexpectedly wins a prestigious award that invites a swarm of publicity, Saoirse is left panic stricken. The unanticipated recognition threatens to expose a decade's worth of buried memories and past crimes. Because what her family and friends don't know is that Saoirse has been on the run since she was seventeen, she has stolen an identity to survive, and whilst Ireland might now be her home, it wasn't her first - and now her past life is poised to reclaim her. The novel weaves between flashbacks to a complicated childhood in Michigan, and Saoirse's journey to and in Ireland to forge safety for herself.

A deep observation of coast and wetland, climate and self, by a leading Indian ecological activist. Introduction by Robert Macfarlane. Written in spellbinding prose, Intertidal reveals an unseen world. We hear frog calls through the night, spot butterflies miles into the ocean, see the churning of longshore currents, and meditate on worms' composting abilities. We also witness communities standing together to preserve the homes of the coast's inhabitants, both human and non-human. Intertidal asks us to reimagine values to live by; heeding the natural world, attending to the climate's calling, and moving away from the old political and cultural values that have proven ecologically disastrous. Set in beaches, marshes, and the wild places of the mind, Intertidal revels in the healing power of nature and explores what it means to reclaim an ecology that has been colonised.
