A story of love and redemption from Kristin Hannah, author of multimillion international bestseller The Nightingale.

Hannah is superb at delving into her main characters’ psyches and delineating nuances of feeling— Washington Post

Home Fire

From the Orange and Baileys Prize-shortlisted author comes an urgent, explosive story of love and a family torn apart.

Skintown

Skintown / Ciaran McMenamin

An energetic, adrenaline-fuelled debut novel from the well-known Irish actor, reminiscent of Irvine Welsh's Trainspotting.

"I read the first page of this and was immediately hooked. It's rattlingly written, hugely immersive, funny too. Adored it." — Rick O'Shea

A Border Station

A Border Station / Shane Connaughton

Reissue of the classic first novel from the Oscar-nominated screenwriter of My Left Foot.

‘This is experience finely and skilfully distilled’ — Irish Times

Behind Her Back

Behind Her Back / Jane Lythell

In this gripping novel of power, rivalry and betrayal, Jane Lythell draws on her experiences of working in the heated world of live TV. Liz Lyon must balance the monster egos at work with the demands of her teenage daughter – and the man she's just started dating – at home. It's all in a day's work.

The Thirst

The Thirst / Jo Nesbo

"It’s a big-boned, Technicolor epic in the current Nesbo style, starting adagio and ending accelerando, but with the kind of close psychological character readings that distinguished his early work."  —  Guardian

A Life of Adventure

A Life of Adventure and Delight / Akhil Sharma

Akhil Sharma's new collection is a remarkable achievement. These tender, elegant stories - each of which was first published in the New Yorker - all explore the unpredictability of human emotion. In the sleek, minimalist prose for which his prize-winning novel Family Life was acclaimed, Sharma skilfully reveals the obstacles we face in making meaningful relationships.
