The Wall JOHN LANCHESTER

Girl EDNA O’BRIEN

EUR

The hotly-anticipated new novel from the legendary Edna O’Brien imagines the lives of the Boko Haram girls with shattering power. Set deep in the heart of Nigeria, this is a brutal story of incarceration, horror, and hunger; a knife-edged escape into the terrors of the forest; and a descent into the labyrinthine bureaucracy and hostility awaiting a victim who returns home with a child blighted by enemy blood.

Kavanagh begins his life patrolling the Wall. If he’s lucky, if nothing goes wrong, he only has two years of this, 729 more nights.

The best thing that can happen is that he survives and gets off the Wall and never has to spend another day of his life anywhere near it.

He will soon find out what Defenders do and who the Others are. Along with the rest of his squad, he will endure cold and fear day after day, night after night. But somewhere, in the dark cave of his mind, he thinks: wouldn’t it be interesting if something did happen, if they came, if you had to fight for your life?

Girl is an unforgettable story of one victim’s astonishing survival, and her quest to keep love alive in a barbaric world.

Out of Darkness, Shining Light PETINA GAPPAH

How should we live? How should we love? How should we treat one another?

This second novel from Petina Gappah follows the epic journey of Dr Livingstone’s corpse through nineteenth-century Africa.

Narrated by Halima – Livingstone’s chef – and three of his servants and disciples – the novel tells a pre-colonial story that is largely idealistic and Christian from a post-colonial perspective.

It is about slavery, loyalty, organised religion, and superstitious belief; women in a world dominated by men and their worldview; and the moment before the Europeans arrived in Africa and brutally carved up the continent.

A brilliantly funny book about the intricacies of friendship, grief and poverty.

Sleepless Nights ELIZABETH HARDWICK A lost American classic, Sleepless Nights is a kaleidoscopic scrapbook of one woman’s memories, reissued with a new introduction by Eimear McBride.

First published in 1979, Sleepless Nights is a collage of fiction and memoir, letters and essays, portraits and dreams. It is more than the story of a life: it is Elizabeth Hardwick’s experience of womanhood in the twentieth century. Above all, here is prose blurring into poetry, language to lose – and perhaps to find – yourself in.

Seduction and Betrayal ELIZABETH HARDWICK First published in 1974, Elizabeth Hardwick’s iconic essay collection is a radical portrait of literary women, reissued with a new introduction by Deborah Levy.

Sidelined. Shortchanged. Killed off. Hardwick considers women in literature. She imagines the lives of the Brontës, Woolf, Eliot, and Plath; the fate of wives such as Dorothy Wordsworth, Zelda Fitzgerald, and Jane Carlyle; and the tales of fictional heroines from Richardson’s Clarissa to Ibsen’s Nora. Both timely and timeless, these provocative essays are nothing less than a reckoning, dissecting relations between women and writing, work and life.

BEFORE SHE KNEW HIM

Devotion MADELINE STEVENS

THE HEART-STOPPING THRILLER NOW IN PAPERBACK

Ella Crawford is 26, lonely, and so broke that she seduces strange men when she suspects they’ll buy her dinner. Her fate changes the day she begins nannying for a rich and beautiful Upper East Side mother. Both women are just 26 – but unlike Ella, Lonnie has a doting husband and son, artistic talent, and old family money. Ella is mesmerised by Lonnie’s girlish affection and disregard for the normal boundaries of friendship and marriage. But resentment grows alongside dizzying attraction.

Before She Knew Him PETER SWANSON When Hen spots the fencing trophy in her new neighbour’s study, she knows Matthew must be hiding a dark secret. Could this seemingly charming, mild-mannered history teacher really be the person Hen – who’s been battling her own problems with mania and depression – thinks he is? Even if she is right, who would believe her? As Hen’s suspicions mount, she and Matthew are drawn closer together. But who, if anyone, is in danger?

Crackling with sensuality and heart-quickening suspense, Madeline Stevens’ searing debut novel explores themes of class, aspiration, female friendship, sexuality, and obsession.

Taking in these surreal yet important lessons, ultimately Pomerantsev looks to the future, asking how we might navigate this new reality and what a better form of democracy might look like.

Great Walls have appeared on nearly every continent, and they have accompanied the rise of cities, nations, and empires.

The book is not an autobiography, but the biography of a man who, at each stage of a glittering career, asked himself: Am I good enough? Is this what they want? Who am I again? This book answers those questions.

Exceptionally funny and brilliant journalism from the much-loved comedian.

When we published the Sunday Times bestseller Thinking About It Only Makes It Worse back in 2014, we didn’t think that things could get any worse. Fake news, fatbergs, and the continuing presence of Farage proved us wrong. The only possible way to cheer up in 2019 is to dive into David Mitchell’s terrifically clever and witty analysis of the sh*tshow of recent years. Here he takes on the utter crap rained down on us from corporate PRs, governments in the thrall of lobbyists, customers being preyed upon by algorithm-wielding corporations and evil interest groups tricking electors. No other writer is a match for the dumbfounding times that we live in.

Football Leaks RAFAEL BUSCHMANN and MICHAEL WULZINGER

A devastating portrait of America’s opioid painkiller epidemic – the deadliest drug crisis in US history.

In 2016, a whistle-blower known only as ‘John’ started to leak a treasure trove of top-secret files, revealing the clandestine dealings of clubs, players and agents at the highest levels of international football. From the eye-popping details of player transfers, to loopholes and opaque tax structures that ensure maximum earnings, this is a tale of rapacious greed and dodgy deals. It is also the gripping story of a fan who wanted to free football from corruption, but finds himself on the run.

One hundred and fifty Americans are killed each day by the opioid epidemic, which has been described as ‘one of the greatest mistakes of modern medicine’. But, as Chris McGreal reveals in this powerful study, it was an avoidable tragedy, driven by bad science, corporate greed and a corrupted medical system which pushed the mass-prescribing of ‘heroin in a pill’.

Pet AKWAEKE EMEZI

Ice princess Stella Snowflake and her father Felix are in trouble: President Fogg has expelled them from the Polar Bear Explorers’ Club, and banned them from going on any further expeditions.

Pet is here to hunt a monster. Are you brave enough to look?

There are no more monsters, or so the children in the city of Lucille are taught. With doting parents and a best friend named Redemption, Jam has grown up with this lesson all her life. But when she meets Pet, a creature made of horns and colours and claws, who emerges from one of her mother’s paintings and a drop of Jam’s blood, she must reconsider what she’s been told. Jam must fight not only to protect her best friend, but also to uncover the truth, and the answer to the question – How do you save the world from monsters if no one will admit they exist?

Stella’s not going to be put off by rules and regulations though. She knows her friend Shay is in danger of turning into a witch wolf himself, since receiving a deadly bite on their last adventure. It’s vital that Stella and her friends set out to find the spellbook that could save his life, even if it means travelling over the cursed Black Ice Bridge.

Stunning illustrations by Chris Mould make this one of the most exciting editions of The Iron Man.
