by Margaret Atwood
£8.99
I never expected to return to Gilead, but with its echoes of our contemporary society, you can see the impetus for Atwood to delve back in.
There is horror and brutality, and it often hits too close to home, but more importantly, there is hope and surprising humour. The Testaments answers all the questions left open in The Handmaid's Tale with a rapid agenda, and leaves you breathless and exhilarated.
Fans won't be disappointed!

by Clare Chambers
£14.99
Exquisitely written novel set in 1950's London. It's a tragedy but very romantic, it's full of sadness but also hope.
This book got under my skin and I still think about the characters a long time after finishing.
Truly special.
by Lucy Foley
£8.99
Much darker than her previous book and not as fast paced, but equally well plotted, The Guest List will keep you on edge - Lucy Foley's trick to only reveal the identity of the victim in the very last chapters is oh so effective. Perfect for an easy read but also quite political about the education system, and the beautiful Irish background adds to the eerie feeling this book will leave you with.

by Kiley Reid
£12.99
This is a debut you will not want to miss. Kiley Reid's writing is simple and to the point. Her characters are subtle and realistic, and the strong topics she tackles, she tackles with panache. All qualities that make for an enjoyable read!

by Taffy Brodesser-Akner
£18.99
There has been a lot of hype for this book, and having just finished it I can happily say that it definitely lives up to it. I absolutely loved it. Laugh out loud funny, brilliantly observed and surprising. How exciting to have a new novelist to admire and look forward to her next book.

by Felicity Cloake
£14.99
If you love food and France, you will love this! Felicity Cloake is an author and food writer for The Guardian and New Statesman Magazine. Her other passion is cycling, so this all came together in a 3,500km ride around France eating her way through the country's wonderful food. The resulting melange is a delightfully funny mix of travel and food writing, complete with her versions of French classic recipes - scrumptious!
