In the heart of Santiago, the infamous 38 Londres Street becomes the haunting backdrop for a riveting tale that intertwines the arrest of Augusto Pinochet in London, the post-war life of senior SS officer Walther Rauff in Chilean Patagonia and the sinister connections between the two men. Rauff, responsible for the wartime horrors of mobile gas vans, flees justice after the war and finds an unlikely refuge in Chile. Settling in Punta Arenas, he manages a king crab cannery, seemingly far removed from his dark past. But as rumours swirl about Rauff’s involvement with Pinochet’s secret intelligence services and the disappearances that plagued Chile, a chilling narrative unfolds.

1945. Dead of night and dead of winter; war brings a stranger to the door; a family is tricked into a act of compassion and danger. Later when peace finally arrives in their small town on the German Heide, Freya and her sister are grateful. The fighting is over, so are the Nazi times; the labour camp on the town outskirts will surely be closed now. But with peace come soldiers – English this time – and hundreds of new arrivals: more strangers – forced labourers from across the heathland and beyond, all with their own losses and stories, and all housed in a new camp on the site of the old. Among these refugees are children – Janina and Lukas – waiting and waiting for word of their mother. In Freya’s home too there is waiting – to be asked about that snowy night; and family secrets, that Freya and her sister must confront. When is an act of kindness an act of betrayal?

One sunny Sunday, without warning, humankind is reduced to the height of a handspan – an unsightly transformation as potentially fatal as it is inconvenient. On a remote coastal path, Giles awakes in his new body to discover a world reshaped and magnified into a place of astounding abundance and deadly peril. Desperate to reconnect with his loved ones, he seeks the help of fellow survivors, and together they embark on a quest across the altered landscape. But as their journey unfolds, the more the question persists – are they still truly human, or has their reduction in size marked the beginning of a descent into savagery, an evolution into something other? Elsewhere, one week earlier, Professor Elizabeth Goodwin makes a monumental discovery – God is alive and physically among us, but not in the form we’ve been taught to expect.

As we grow older, human beings accumulate more and more unnecessary things just by living. And not just objects, we accrue connections and status in addition to expensive goods. If you don’t throw these things away as soon as possible, you become a person who can’t throw things away. Before you know it, your life is full of noise. You’re tied up. Full of anxiety about the future. This book provides an overview of the top ten things you can let go of in five of the most important areas of your life: money and the things you own, your working life, your physical and mental health, your relationships and your lifestyle. All of the ’50 Things’ included in this book centre on the idea that minimalism can have a hugely positive impact on your life by clearing away the noise.
