Precious Ramotswe learns valuable lessons about first impressions and forgiveness in this latest installment of the much-loved, best-selling No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency series. At Botswana's No 1 Ladies' Detective Agency, Precious Ramotswe and Grace Makutsi are intrigued by the troubling dismissal of an employee at a thriving local business. The ladies proceed with investigations as they are inclined to do - with Mma Makutsi's customary vigour, and Mma Ramotswe's rather more subtle caution. Soon enough, interesting discoveries are made... marital subterfuge, undue influence and commercial chicanery! Clearly, there is more to this dismissal than at first imagined. While Mma Makutsi's focus, as self-appointed Principal Investigating Officer, is firmly on the case, Mma Ramotswe's attention is diverted by personal matters. Not only has her disgraced ex-husband reappeared in town, but she has stumbled on an unsettling family secret of her own - one that might threaten what she holds closest to her heart. As Precious contemplates this painful possibility, she must draw on her strength and compassion and confront The House of Unexpected Sisters. And for both Mma Makutsi and Mma Ramotswe, the wise words of their mentor Clovis Andersen - 'the needle swings in confusing ways' - have never been more prescient . . .

From Pulitzer Prize nominee and award winning author of Homeland, The Poisonwood Bible and Flight Behaviour, The Lacuna is the heartbreaking story of a man torn between the warm heart of Mexico and the cold embrace of 1950s America in the shadow of Senator McCarthy. Born in America and raised in Mexico, Harrison Shepherd is a liability to his social-climbing flapper mother, Salome. When he starts work in the household of Mexican artists Diego Rivera and Frida Kahlo - where the Bolshevik leader, Lev Trotsky, is also being harboured as a political exile - he inadvertently casts his lot with art, communism and revolution. A compulsive diarist, he records and relates his colourful experiences of life with Diego Rivera, Frida Kahlo and Trotsky in the midst of the Mexican revolution. A violent upheaval sends him back to America; but political winds continue to throw him between north and south, in a plot that turns many times on the unspeakable breach - the lacuna - between truth and public presumption.

AVAILABLE TO PRE-ORDER NOWFrom the multi-million copy bestselling author Demon Copperhead: a true story of female-led resilience during the Great Arizona Mine Strike of 1983 - now available for the first time in the UK.‘[Kingsolver] means to save us by telling us stories . . . She comes closer than anyone else I know.’ ANNE PATCHETT‘Clear and emotional . . . This is a report from the trenches of where the political meets the personal.’ JOHN SAYLESIt was the summer of 1983. Barbara Kingsolver had a day job as a scientific writer spends her weekends cutting her teeth as a freelance journalist when she landed an assignment. Her mission: was to cover the Phelps Dodge mine strike.Over the year that followed Kingsolver stood with those miners and their families, increasingly engaged and heartbroken. She recorded stories of striking miners and their stunningly courageous wives, sisters and daughters. She saw rights she’d taken for granted denied to people she had learned to care about, as they cried out to a wide world that either refused to believe what was happening to them, or didn''t care, or simply could not know.This book is the true story of the families who held the line, and of Kingsolver''s commitment to tell the story of the women and girls who discovered themselves in their fight to keep their families from destitution. It is a story about the sparks that fly when the flint of force strikes against human mettle.FROM THE WINNER OF THE PULITZER AND WOMEN''S PRIZE FOR FICTION 2023

Členové zvláštního židovského oddílu, známého jako "sonderkommando", byli jedinými očitými svědky masového vraždění ve vyhlazovacím táboře Osvětim-Brzezinka. Nikdo jiný - kromě pachatelů samotných - nesměl vědět, co se v osvětimské továrně na smrt odehrává. Členové sonderkommanda nebyli však pouhými svědky - museli vykonávat tu nestrašnější práci, kterou si lze představit, byli totiž nuceni udržovat mašinerii smrti v chodu: prováděli přípravy pro hromadné vraždy nevinných obětí, statisíců lidí, včetně dětí a žen.Autorům knihy Svědkové z továrny na smrt se podařilo přimět ty, kteří přežili, aby o nepopsatelných hrůzách vyprávěli. Jejich autentická svědectví se stala základem pro knihu, při jejíž četbě tuhne krev v žilách a která ukazuje, že lidské zlo nezná žádných hranic.
