“He was the great love of her life, you know.” “He was the great love of her life, you know.” “Oh, dulling,” said my mother, sadly. “One always thinks that. Every, every time.” 📺📚 Longing for love, obsessed with weddings and let’s not even mention the mysteries of sex, Linda, her sisters and cousin Fanny are on the hunt for the ideal lover. But finding the perfect match is much harder than any of them had ever dreamed. 📺📚 Linda is first courted by a stuffy Tory MP and then becomes embroiled with a handsome but humourless communist, before she risks everything on a chance at real, head-over-heels love in war-torn Paris... 📺📚 The Pursuit of Love is one of the funniest and sharpest novels about love and growing up ever written. Its television adaptation begins on @bbcone at 9pm tonight!
1960s Uganda. Hasan is struggling to run his famil 1960s Uganda. Hasan is struggling to run his family business following the sudden death of his wife. Just as he begins to see a way forward, a new regime seizes power, and a wave of rising prejudice threatens to sweep away everything he has built. 🐦 Present-day London. Sameer, a young high-flying lawyer, senses an emptiness in what he thought was the life of his dreams. Called back to his family home by an unexpected tragedy, Sameer begins to find the missing pieces of himself not in his future plans, but in a past he never knew. 🐦 Moving between two continents over a troubled century, We Are All Birds of Uganda is an immensely resonant novel that explores racial tensions, generational divides and what it means to belong. 🐦 It is the first work of fiction of Hafsa Zayyan, co-winner of the inaugural #Merky Books New Writers’ Prize, and one of the most exciting young novelists of today.
We will be hosting an online event with Edward Rut We will be hosting an online event with Edward Rutherfurd on 20th May. Edward will discuss his latest epic novel, China. China in the nineteenth century: a proud and ancient empire forbidden to foreigners. The West desires Chinese tea above all other things but lacks the silver to buy it. Instead western adventurers resort to smuggling opium in exchange. This is a novel about the clas of worldviews, of culture and heritage. China is a feat of the imagination that will enthrall, instruct and excite, and show us how things once were, and how the turmoil of the 19th century led to modern China's revolution and rebirth.
Cornwall, 1972. 🌊 Three keepers vanish from a r Cornwall, 1972. 🌊 Three keepers vanish from a remote lighthouse, miles from the shore. The entrance door is locked from the inside. The clocks have stopped. The Principal Keeper’s weather log describes a mighty storm, but the skies have been clear. 🌊 What happened to those three men, out on the tower? The heavy sea whispers their names. The tide shifts beneath the swell, drowning ghosts. Can their secrets ever be recovered from the waves? 🌊 Twenty years later, the women they left behind are still struggling to move on. Helen, Jenny and Michelle should have been united by the tragedy, but instead it drove them apart. When a writer arrives, trying to solve the puzzle, he gives them a chance to tell their side of the story. But only in confronting their darkest fears can the truth begin to surface... 🌊 Inspired by real events, The Lamplighters is an intoxicating and suspenseful mystery, and an unforgettable story of love and grief that explores the way our fears blur the line between the real and the imagined.
“Some words are more important than others - I l “Some words are more important than others - I learned this, growing up in the Scriptorium. But it took me a long time to understand why.” 🌺 In 1901, the word ‘bondmaid’ was discovered missing from the Oxford English Dictionary. This is the story of the girl who stole it. 🌺 Motherless and irrepressibly curious, Esme spends her childhood in the Scriptorium, a garden shed in Oxford where her father and a team of lexicographers are gathering words for the very first Oxford English Dictionary. 🌺 Esme’s place is beneath the sorting table, unseen and unheard. One day, she sees a slip containing the word ‘bondmaid’ flutter to the floor unclaimed. 🌺 Over time, Esme realises that some words are considered more important than others, and that words and meanings relating to women’s experiences often go unrecorded. She begins to collect words for another dictionary: The Dictionary of Lost Words.
Dawn breaks across the archipelago of Popisho. The Dawn breaks across the archipelago of Popisho. The world is stirring awake again, each resident with their own list of things to do: A wedding feast to conjure and cook A cheating husband to discover A lost soul to set free ✨ As the sun rises, two star-crossed lovers try to find their second chance at abiding love. When night falls, all have been given a gift, and many are no longer the same. ✨ The sky is pink, and some wonder if it will ever be blue again.
Whether it’s pastoral care for the bereaved, dis Whether it’s pastoral care for the bereaved, discussions about the afterlife with parishioners or being called out to perform the last rites, death is part of the Reverend Richard Coles’ routine. But when his life partner the Reverend David Coles died unexpectedly shortly before Christmas 2019, much about death took Richard by surprise; the volume of ‘sadmin’ you have to do when someone dies, how much harder it is travelling for work alone, even the simple pain of typing a text message to your partner - then remembering they are gone. 🍃 The man who has so often assisted people during such difficult times now found himself in need of help, and began to look to others for guidance to steer him through his journey of loss. In time, things do get better, and Richard’s deeply personal account of living through grief - and the lessons he has learnt along the way - will resonate, unforgettably, with anyone who has lost a loved one.
The eight masterful stories in this new collection The eight masterful stories in this new collection are all told in the first person by a classic Murakami narrator. From nostalgic memories of youth, meditations on music and an ardent love of baseball to dreamlike scenarios, an encounter with a talking monkey, and invented jazz albums, together these stores challenge the boundaries between our minds and the exterior world. Occasionally, a narrator who may or may not be Haruki himself is present. Is it memoir or fiction? The reader decides. 🐒 Philosophical and mysterious, the stories in First Person Singular all touch beautifully on love and solitude, childhood and memory...with a signature Murakami twist.
From her place in the store, Klara, an Artificial From her place in the store, Klara, an Artificial Friend with outstanding observational qualities, watches carefully the behaviour of those who come in to browse, and of those who pass in the street outside. She remains hopeful a customer will soon choose her, but when the possibility emerges that her circumstances may change for ever, Klara is warned not to invest too much in the promises of humans. ☀️ In Klara and the Sun, his first novel since winning the Nobel Prize for Literature, Kazuo Ishiguro looks at our rapidly-changing modern world through the eyes of an unforgettable narrator to explore a fundamental question: what does it mean to love?
