Let’s Hope for the Best Carolina Setterwall The international bestseller. A beautifully written Scandinavian One Day about a young mother facing the sudden death of her partner

O

ne evening, thirty-six-year-old Carolina says goodnight to her partner, Aksel. There’ll be time tomorrow – time to work on their relationship, to calm their nine-month-old son, to embark on a new chapter as a family. But then Aksel dies unexpectedly in the night, and Carolina’s world is turned upside down.

Told in two narratives that work towards the moment of Aksel’s death, Let’s Hope for the Best recounts the intensity of falling in love. Carolina unpacks the small details of life before tragedy, determined to find some explanation for the bad hand she’s been dealt. When an opportunity for new romance presents itself, she finds herself assuming the reticent role Aksel once held. She’s been given the gift of love again. But will she take it?

This Is Happiness Niall Williams An enchanting new novel set in rural Ireland from the author of the Man Booker longlisted History of the Rain

R

ain was a condition of living in the parish of Faha; nobody remembers when it started. It came straight-down, sideways, frontwards and backwards. But now – just as Father Coffey proclaims the coming of the electricity – it is stopping. Seventeenyear-old Noel Crowe is idling in the first instants of the departed rain when he first encounters Christy. Though he can’t explain it, Noel knows right then: something has changed.

This is the story of all that was to follow: Christy’s long-lost love, Noel’s own fallings in and out of love, and the endlessly procrastinated arrival of the electricity. Luminous and otherworldly, yet anchored with deep-running roots into the everyday, This Is Happiness is an intricately observed portrait of a community and a celebration of stories as the very stuff of life, making the texture and matter of our world.

Niall Williams was born in Dublin in 1958. He is the author of the Man Booker longlisted History of the Rain and eight other novels including the international bestseller Four Letters of Love, which is currently being adapted for the screen. He lives in Kiltumper in County Clare, with his wife, Christine.

When the staff of the British Legation in Tokyo go on strike because the building is haunted, the Foreign Office sends him to investigate.

But when they arrive, it’s soon obvious that nothing is going to be easy. There are ghosts in the dust and the air is full of electricity, and something strange is happening at the lighthouse. And there’s Takiko Pepperharrow, who has a claim on Mori that Thaniel can’t hope to match.

Then Mori vanishes. Gradually, Thaniel realizes that everything is connected, and that Mori might be in real, terrible trouble.

Royals Emma Forrest Devastating, dazzling, Royals is the story of an unlikely friendship set against the intoxicating colour and wildness of 1980s London

J

uly, 1981. London. Shy, working-class Steven finds solace in beauty. Eighteen years old, he dreams of being a designer. He’s also gay, maybe – he hasn’t decided yet. There’s a lot Steven isn’t sure about, like whether he hates himself or thinks he’s amazing.

When he ends up in hospital after being attacked by his father, he meets Jasmine, an heiress. Soon, Steven is swept into her hedonistic world, wholly beguiled, their friendship forged through a shared love of fashion. Yet underneath the glitter, darkness lies.

Queer and radical, Royals is a love story between unlikely friends from completely different worlds. It’s about the power of art to transform lives and the power of families to destroy them. It’s about working out who you are. It’s a tale of giddy happiness, crushing lows and, ultimately, the fragility of lives lived too fast.

Emma Forrest has published three novels, an essay collection and the memoir Your Voice in My Head. An Anglo-American currently based in London, she recently wrote and directed her feature debut, Untogether. @GirlInterrupter

Inspired by these cafés, Dishoom presents 100 of their favourite recipes to carry you from dawn til dusk.

There are recipes for Dishoom’s famous Bacon Naan Rolls and Black Daal, as well as for Okra Fries, Pau Bhaji, Chicken Tikka, Lamb Biryani and Memsahib’s Mess.

Illustrated with beautiful food and location photography, this is a cookbook that is steeped in nostalgia and romance: a celebration of an eccentric, ‘maximum’ city, its stories, and its dishes.

Shamil and Kavi Thakrar grew up in London with strong family ties to Gujarat, India. In 2010, with head chef Naved Nasir, they opened the first Dishoom restaurant in London’s Covent Garden. They have since opened six more restaurants, served 5 million meals, received numerous accolades and established strong partnerships with charities worldwide.

Harvest Bells New and Uncollected Poems by John Betjeman

John Betjeman This essential new edition of uncollected and unpublished verse promises new treasures – and surprises – for ‘Betj’s’ admirers the world over

J

ohn Betjeman’s unforgettable poems on landscape and suburbia, desire and death, faith and doubt, helped to establish him as the beloved voice of a nation. Yet the ten books of poetry he published individually, later assembled in the Collected Poems, were an incomplete representation of his poetic oeuvre. Kevin Gardner has assembled a new collection of Betjeman’s poems that reveal a young poet experimenting with both Modernism and post-Romanticism. Some are profoundly psychological, personal and deeply affecting to read today; others verge on bawdy.

Almost all are typically amusing and witty in the style typical of this much-loved English poet.

Sir John Betjeman was born in 1906 and educated at Marlborough and Magdalen College, Oxford. He was knighted in 1969 and appointed poet laureate in 1972.

He died in 1984. Dr Kevin J. Gardner is Professor of English at Baylor University, USA. He is the editor of Poems in the Porch, Building Jerusalem and Faith and Doubt of John Betjeman.

Ours is a society where many get by on provocation and pedalling outrage – and we all too quickly take the bait. If outrage has become abundant, effective activism has become subdued. Passionate, funny and unrelentingly wise, this is the essential guide to learning how to channel our responses and living through the age of outrage.

imone Weil: philosopher, political activist, mystic – and sister to André, one of the most influential mathematicians of the twentieth century. These two extraordinary siblings formed an obsession for Karen Olsson, who studied mathematics at Harvard, only to turn to writing as a vocation. When Olsson got hold of the 1940 letters between the siblings, she found that they shared a curiosity about the inception of creative thought – that flash of insight – that Olsson experienced as both a maths student, and later, novelist. Following this thread of connections, The Weil Conjectures explores the lives of Simone and André, the lore and allure of mathematics, and its significance in Olsson’s own life.

Determined to commit their memories to the page she speaks to those who bore witness to one of the most turbulent periods of the twentieth century. This extraordinary cache of Partition testimonies reflects the complexity of experience – the horror and humanity, as well as the continuing legacy in Britain today.

How to Be a Dictator The Cult of Personality in the Twentieth Century

Frank Dikötter A timely and compelling exploration of the cult of personality that surrounded eight dictators

M

ussolini, Hitler, Stalin, Mao Zedong, Kim Il-sung, Ceauseşcu, Mengistu of Ethiopia and Duvalier of Haiti.

The paradox of the modern dictator is that he must create the illusion of popular support. Each one of these eight figures, in their own way, demanded constant demonstrations of loyalty from their people. Throughout the twentieth century, hundreds of millions of subjects were condemned to enthusiasm, obliged to bow to the likeness of their leader, pass by his statue, praise his name, recite his work, extol his genius even as they were herded down the road to serfdom.

This authoritative, magisterial study, told with great narrative verve, examines how the cult took hold, grew, and sustained itself, turning every person into a sycophant. It places the cult of personality where it belongs, at the very heart of tyranny.

Frank Dikötter is Chair Professor of Humanities at the University of Hong Kong and Senior Fellow at the Hoover Institution. His books have changed the way historians view China, from the classic The Discourse of Race in Modern China to his award-winning ‘People’s Trilogy’ documenting the lives of ordinary people under Mao.

L

ucian Freud (1922–2011) is one of the great painters of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. Though ferociously private, he spoke on the phone almost daily for many years to his close confidante and collaborator William Feaver – about painting and the art world, but also about his life and loves. Feaver wrote down their conversations immediately and typed up his hand-written account the next day.

Feaver brings Freud’s genius to life in this extraordinary, definitive biography, shot through with his subject’s own words. In the first of two volumes, he conjures Freud’s early childhood: Sigmund Freud’s grandson, born into a middle-class Jewish family in Weimar Berlin, who escaped Germany in 1934 and was dropped into the English public school system. Following Freud through art school, his time in the navy during the war, and his post-war adventures in Soho – consorting with duchesses and violent criminals, with muses from Greta Garbo to Margot Fonteyn – Feaver traces a brilliant, difficult young man’s coming of age. Passionate and destructive, the young Freud blazes on the page, tearing like a comet through post-war bohemian London.

William Feaver was art critic for the Observer for 23 years, as well as working extensively as a painter, curator, broadcaster and filmmaker. His book Pitmen Painters was adapted for the stage by Lee Hall and has been performed throughout the world. He has curated exhibitions in London, New York and Paris.

The Madness of Crowds Some Modern Taboos

Douglas Murray An explosive new book from the Sunday Times and internationally bestselling author of The Strange Death of Europe

I

n The Madness of Crowds Douglas Murray sets out to shatter our modern taboos. He examines the new century’s ‘tripwire’ issues: sexuality, race, mental health and gender, exposing the wobbly edifices on which our society rests. Murray argues that social media and online networks, originally designed as forums for open speech, have emboldened the mob and exacerbated groupthink; self-censorship and public shaming have become rife.

Drawing on examples of those directly affected by the crowd mentality, including Tim Hunt in Britain and Brett Weinstein in America, Murray walks against the tide of censorship. He asks us to think more openly about what we’re afraid to say, to think beyond the psychology of the crowd. With his characteristic perceptiveness and eminently readable prose Murray argues coolly for a return to first principles in an age of mass hysteria.

Douglas Murray is Associate Director of the Henry Jackson Society and Assistant Editor of the Spectator. He also writes for a variety of other publications including the Evening Standard, Prospect and the Sunday Times and for international newspapers. His first book The Strange Death of a Europe was an international bestseller and has been translated into 23 languages.

’Gorman examines the damaging consequences of a liberalism that seems almost obligatory within modern western universities and in literature and art.

In the 20th century what had been open-minded inquiry gradually gathered an assumption that judgment, particularly moral judgment, had no part in a university education. Liberal values became the norm but the costs were not considered, including the rise of populism and nationalism. Because liberals have insisted that intolerance is morally unacceptable, the only forms of intolerance that we can now perceive are extreme. Liberalism has handed to the extremists the only realistic option for taking a different view.

Sex and the Failed Absolute Slavoj Žižek Provocative philosopher Slavoj Žižek explores the emerging field of assemblage theory

A

ssemblage theory is a framework – originally espoused by Deleuze and Guattari in A Thousand Plateaus – which sees social formations as assemblages of other complex configurations. Slavoj Žižek’s intervention into this new field is bound to cause a few waves. Is assemblage theory interesting or useful to the contemporary thinker? Is it all a chimera, a joke, some terrible mistake? By taking on the main thinkers and concepts in assemblage studies, Žižek offers an idiosyncratic but thorough introduction to the field. He puts forward his original theory of totalities as an alternative to assemblage thinking.

Slavoj Žižek is one of the world’s leading contemporary cultural critics and a hugely prolific author.

n 1765 the East India Company transformed itself from a conventional trading corporation, dealing in silks and spices, into the world’s most aggressive colonial power. In less than half a century, it had executed a coup unparalleled in history: the military conquest and plunder of vast tracts of Southern Asia.

Populated with towering names of imperial legend from Clive to Hastings, The Anarchy tells the remarkable story of how one of the world’s greatest and most magnificent Empires fell apart and was replaced by a dangerously unregulated private company – based thousands of miles overseas in a London boardroom. In his most ambitious and thrilling book to date, William Dalrymple spins the story of the rise of the East India Company into a startling and timely cautionary tale for the global misconduct of corporate power.

The Life and Times of a Very British Man Kamal Ahmed ‘Full of charm … Will no doubt deepen the conversation on race and identity in Britain’ Guardian

K

amal Ahmed’s childhood was very ‘British’ in every way – except for the fact that he was brown. Half English, half Sudanese, he was raised in 1970s London at a time when being mixed-race meant being told to go home, even when you were born just down the road. The Life and Times of a Very British Man makes the case for a new conversation about race in Britain through personal stories, political analysis and passionate belief in the ultimate good of this country – white, black and brown.

Witty and humane, this is a modern state-of-the-nation from a man who adopted the name Neil growing up (it was better than ‘camel’) and went on to occupy one of the most elite positions in the British establishment.

Kamal Ahmed is Economics Editor of the BBC and one of Britain’s most respected journalists. He joined the BBC in 2014 as Business Editor having previously worked for the Guardian, the Observer and the Sunday and Daily Telegraph. He has also served as Group Director of Communications for the Equality and Human Rights Commission. He lives in London.

The Lion and the Eagle The Interaction of the British and American Empires 1783– 1972

Kathleen Burk ‘Compelling, authoritative, grand’ BBC History

T

hroughout modern history, British and American rivalry has gone hand in hand with common interests. In The Lion and the Eagle, Kathleen Burk brilliantly examines the different kinds of power the two empires have projected, and the means they have used to do it. What they have shared is a mixture of pragmatism, ruthless commercial drive, a self-righteous foreign policy and plenty of naked aggression. These have often been aimed against each other; yet their underlying alliance against common enemies has been historically unique and a defining force throughout the twentieth century. This is authoritative, measured and compelling history.

Kathleen Burk is Professor of Modern and Contemporary History at University College London and a commentator and radio panellist. She is the author of several books on Anglo-American relations, including Old World, New World, a history of Britain and America from 1497 to the present, a biography of A.J.P. Taylor, and a book on wine. She lives in South Oxfordshire.

As her perspective expands, a series of historical portraits – a boy with a rare skeletal disease, a generation of Japanese shut-ins – strike unexpected personal harmonies, as an unselfconscious childhood gives way to painful shyness in adolescence. As we watch Young fall in and out of love, undertake an intense yoga practice that masks an eating disorder, and gradually find herself through her writing, a highly particular psyche comes into view: curious, tender and exacting in her observations of herself and the world around her.

ccording to the Greek creation myth, we are so much spilt milk: a splatter of the goddess Hera’s breast milk became our galaxy. But while mother’s milk may be the essence of nourishment, it is the milk of other mammals that humans have cultivated ever since the domestication of animals more than ten thousand years ago. Profoundly intertwined with human civilisation, milk has a compelling and a surprisingly global story to tell. Tracing the liquid’s diverse history from antiquity to the present, Mark Kurlansky details its curious and crucial role in cultural evolution, religion, nutrition, politics and economics.

iese Laymon grew up a hard-headed black son to a complicated and brilliant black mother in Jackson, Mississippi. From his early experiences of sexual violence, to his suspension from college, to his trek to New York as a young college professor, he charts his complex relationship with his mother, grandmother, abuse, anorexia, obesity, sex, writing and ultimately gambling. By attempting to name secrets he and his mother spent a lifetime avoiding, Laymon confronts the terrifying possibility that few know how to responsibly love, and even fewer want to live under the weight of actually becoming free.

Born and raised in Jackson, Mississippi, Kiese Laymon, Distinguished Professor of Creative Writing and English at the University of Mississippi, is the author of the novel Long Division and a collection of essays, How to Slowly Kill Yourself and Others in America. He lives in Mississippi. kieselaymon.com / @KieseLaymon

addy Leigh Fermor constantly wrote letters during his life, more often than not in a rush. These letters, addressed to some of the most celebrated cultural figures of his day, exude a zest for life that was characteristic. They describe encounters with figures including Jackie Onassis, Camilla Parker-Bowles, Oswald Mosley and Peter Mandelson, while also relating adventures with the humble: a ‘picknick’ with the stonemasons at Kardamyli, or a drunken feast in the Cretan mountains with shepherds and goatherds. Nowhere is his restless curiosity and delight in language more evident than in his letters, skilfully edited here by Adam Sisman.

ig mammals divide opinion. Lynx are just one of a range of beasts that disappeared from Britain since the end of the last ice age and, alongside other megafauna, are plausible candidates for reintroduction. In The Missing Lynx, Ross Barnett uses case studies, fossil discovery maps, biomolecular evidence and more to paint pictures of these extinct species, and to explore the significance of their disappearance in ecological terms. He also looks in detail and the realistic potential of reintroductions and resurrection – topics that capture public interest today. Will we ever be able to bring these animals back? And should we?

or centuries, the raven (Corvus corax) has stalked us in life and in death.

Excavations of Bronze Age settlements in Britain have revealed raven bones mingled with human remains. The Viking and Norman warriors that stormed these shores did so sporting ravens on their shields and banners. Yet by the 1700s our relationship with ravens had soured, and by the nineteenth century raven numbers depleted dramatically. The past decade has witnessed a remarkable comeback.

In this book Joe travels the country exploring the myths and legends behind the return of the raven.

When the Last Lion Roars The Rise and Fall of the King of the Beasts

Sara Evans The story of a continent losing its most charismatic predator at unprecedented speed

T

he illegal killing of Cecil – a famous Zimbabwean lion – by an American biggame hunter in 2015 sparked international outrage. More significantly, it drew the world’s attention to the devastating plight of Africa’s lions. When the Last Lion Roars explores the rise and fall of the lion as a global species, and examines the reasons behind its catastrophic decline. Interwoven with personal encounters of Africa’s last lions, Sara Evans questions what is being done to reverse (or at least stem) this population collapse, and considers the importance of human responsibility in this decline and, more crucially, in their conservation.

Sara Evans is an award-winning writer, specialising in travel and wildlife.

Genuine Fakes How Phony Things Teach Us About Real Stuff

Lydia Pyne Is the distinction between ‘real’ and ‘fake’ as clear-cut as we might think?

F

rom fake fur and fake diamonds to art forgeries and staged nature documentaries, history is full of things that are considered fake. We come into contact with these ‘genuine fakes’ every day without even realising it, and the social history, scientific background, and cultural context of these genuinely fake objects have helped to develop and spread knowledge about the world in curious and unexpected ways.

08 AUGUST 2019

In this thought-provoking and surprising book, historian Lydia Pyne will look at nine things that fall into the realm of ‘genuine fakes’, including art forgeries, fake fossils, nature documentaries and synthetic flavours. Using research from historical archives, interviews with a variety of experts as well as her own experiences to put together each unique story, Genuine Fakes will make readers think about all the genuinely fake things that they engage with.

Grilled Turning Adversaries to Allies to Change the Chicken Industry

Leah Garces The story of Leah Garcés’s fight for better conditions for the animals we eat

A

bout 275 chickens are slaughtered in the United States, every second of every day, seven days a week. Selectively bred to grow fast, they can barely walk, and their unnaturally short, miserable lives are spent lying on their own faeces, panting in the burning, ammonia-laden air.

Leah Garcés is at the frontline of the fightback against this industry, and this book is her story. Instead of protesting and shaming, she has worked alongside the owners of megafarms and encouraged change through dialogue and discussion, and she is winning the fight. This is the story of what happens when we cross enemy lines to look for solutions. It’s a story of giving in to discomfort for the sake of progress. It’s a story of the power of human connection, and what happens when we practice empathy toward our enemies.

After 8 years as the founder and Executive Director of Compassion in World Farming US, Leah Garcés is now the President of Mercy for Animals. She has degrees in zoology and sustainable development and has been fighting for better food and farming systems for her whole career. She has written and edited several reports and books on animals in agriculture.

he year 1818 saw the publication of one of the most influential science-fiction stories of all time. Frankenstein by Mary Shelley had a huge impact on gothic horror and science-fiction genres, and her creation has become part of our everyday culture, from cartoons to Halloween costumes. How did a teenager with no formal education come up with such an extraordinary novel as Frankenstein? From tales of volcanic eruptions, artificial life and chemical revolutions, to experimental surgery, ‘monsters’ and electrical experiments on human cadavers, Kathryn Harkup examines the science and scientists that influenced Shelley, and inspired her most famous creation.

hat will happen if (perhaps when) humanity makes contact with another civilisation on a different planet? In this book, space journalist Keith Cooper tackles the myths and assumptions that underlie the search for extraterrestrial life.

He will answer questions such as: how easy will it be to detect a signal from another world? And most controversially, should we be beaming messages into space, and are there any dangers in doing so? Across eight wide-ranging chapters, The Contact Paradox examines these topics and many others, portraying the thoughts and opinions of many SETI researchers, astronomers, historians and evolutionary biologists.

Keith Cooper is the Editor of Astronomy Now. He has held this role since 2006, and is also Editor of the NASA-sponsored Astrobiology Magazine. Keith specialises in writing about astrophysics, planetary science, cosmology and astrobiology, and he has written for New Scientist, Sky, Telescope and Physics World.

Seeds of Science Why We Got It So Wrong On GMOs

Mark Lynas ‘Fluent, persuasive and surely right’ Evening Standard

M

ark Lynas was one of the original GM field wreckers. Back in the 1990s – working with his colleagues in the environmental movement – he would descend on trial sites of GM crops at night and destroy them. Two decades later, most people around the world still think that ‘GMO’ foods are bad for their health or likely to damage the environment. But Mark has changed his mind. This book explains why. Seeds of Science lifts the lid on the anti-GMO craze and shows how science was left by the wayside as a wave of public hysteria swept the world.

Mark Lynas is author of the major popular science books High Tide (2004), Six Degrees (2008) and The God Species (2011). He has contributed extensively to global media, writing for the Guardian and New York Times and numerous others. Until 2017, he was a visiting fellow at the Cornell Alliance for Science, Cornell University.

njuries affect every athlete, from the elite Olympian to the weekend racer. In the moment, a traumatic crash, a torn muscle, or a stress fracture can feel like the most devastating event possible. While some athletes are destroyed by the experience, others emerge from their recovery better, stronger, and more confident than ever.

The key to a swifter, stronger comeback is the use of mental skills: psychological tools that enable an athlete to take control of their recovery and ultimately use the experience to their advantage.
