Offers an account of a young person's emerging awareness of the world and of his place within it.

A firecracker of a novel by the Booker-shortlisted author of A Fraction of the Whole - a scathingly funny and affecting tale of life, death, love and the questionable existence of God.

An old woman returns to the spot where as a young girl she used to meet her lover on his daily lunch break. An unsuspecting couple find themselves drawn to a window to watch the neighbours' kinky play turn into something more sinister. This title presents a series of vignettes that scratch beneath the surface of seemingly well-adjusted lives.

Donna Stewart's family is poor but respectable and hard working. Donna is beautiful and clever - about to go up to university.

But it gradually emerges that he is a criminal and a sadist.

In breathless prose, Declan Toohey weaves a contemporary yarn of academic intrigue and youthful irreverence, sexual fluidity and neurodiversity. Experimental, trippy, hilarious, compassionate, Perpetual Comedown is a riotous reckoning in the construction of the self.

Ignatius J Reilly is fat, flatulent, eloquent and almost unemployable. By the standards of ordinary folk he is pretty much unhinged, too. But is he bothered by this? No. For this misanthropic crusader against an America fallen into vice and ignorance has a mission: to rescue a naked female philosopher in distress.

A sweeping YA fantasy about legacy, betrayal, sisterhood, and deadly quests for power, with a stunning, slow-burn sapphic romance.

A must-read for fans of the BookTok sensations Red Queen by Victoria Aveyard, Night of the Witch by Sara Raasch and Beth Revis, and These Violent Delights by Chloe Gong.

When Albert Jackson, a middle-aged school teacher, catches a glimpse of the infinite universe and his own tiny insignificance he cannot shake himself free of regret for a life all but squandered.

A novel about a man trying to escape his own superficiality and emptiness through excess and murder.
