David Gilbert
A startlingly imaginative novel about families and how they define us, and the choices we make when faced with our own mortality. A Salingeresque father, poetic vision of faded WASP grandeur, madness of writers and families - it's brilliant. Hardcover |
 An anthropological adventure story that combines the visceral allure of a thriller with a profound and tragic vision of what happens when cultures collide. In the 50s, a doctor and anthropoligist find a lost tribe that seems to hold the secret of everlasting youth. Dazzling prose and a triumph of the imagination.

JoJo Moyes
 From the New York Times-bestselling author of Me Before You (now out in paperback), a spellbinding love story of two women separated by a century but united in their determination to fight for what they love most. WWI occupied France and today linked through a beautiful portrait.
