A superbly chilling ghost story, seductive as it is disquieting, atmospheric and brilliantly suspenseful'

'Charming ... one to lift even the most cynical of spirits'.

True Tales of American Life

Paul Auster

‘True Tales of American Life is a collection derived from a project launched by Paul Auster on US National Public Radio.

Unaccustomed Earth

Jhumpa Lahiri 

'It's difficult to think of a contemporary writer who gives her characters so much dignity ... Fiction of matchless restraint, yet also of rich, complex lives and credible characters'.

Wolf Hall

Hilary Mantel

‘England, the 1520s. Henry VIII is on the throne, but has no heir. Cardinal Wolsey is his chief advisor, charged with securing the divorce the pope refuses to grant.’

Small Island

Andrea Levy

‘Told from the point of view of four different people, this is a very entertaining story about the disillusionment of two young Jamaicans who have high expectations of their 'mother country', only to find that the Britain of the 1940s is a dreary place of hardship and deep-seated prejudice.’

Me Talk Pretty One Day

David Sedaris

'Audaciously combining memoir, essay, and what has to be fiction, this fourth collection of short pieces offers pleasures normally to be found only in the best novels and the rare standup act that is actually funny.'

The Storian

Elizabeth Kostova

'A spirited update of Bram Stoker's classic, with a vastly ingenious plot in which Dracula has developed a mysterious penchant for librarians ... Kostova is a whiz at storytelling and narrative pace'

Fall of Giants (Century Trilogy 1)

Ken Follet

'An epic saga on the grand scale. Spiked with romance and intrigue... This involving historical saga is the perfect read for long winter evenings.'

The Rain Before it Falls

Jonathan Coe

Called "the best English novelist of his generation" by Nick Hornby, Jonathan Coe extends his range in this magnificent account of a Shropshire family in the last half of the twentieth century.

44 Scotland Street
