Remember Gillian Flynn’s bestselling thriller Gone Girl from a few years ago? The one where the wife goes missing under suspicious circumstances leaving the husband as the main suspect. Of course, it’s not that simple…
Coming soon… Murakami, Waters, Mitchell and McEwan.

Summer is the perfect time to dive into some challenging reading. Long lazy days and warm evenings are ideal for books that require a bit of focus and extended periods of reading to suck you in.
Great news for fans of Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie’s book Americanah, amongst whom I count myself.
The Independent Foreign Fiction Prize is a literary prize worth paying attention to. It selects the best fiction from around the world and rewards the unsung heros of the publishing world – the translators – as well as the authors. The £ 10,000 prize money is shared between the author and the translator.
