3. A Rebel And A Traitor: A Fugitive, The Manhunt And The Birth Of The IRA
by Rory Carroll
€15.99
The new book from the author of the critically acclaimed KILLING THATCHER An extraordinary story that explores a pivotal moment in Anglo-Irish history that has implications for Europe and the wider world A narrative non-fiction that reads like a novel by an author at the top of his game Uses first class research to crate a page-turning history with a vast array of characters KILLING THATCHER was hailed as ‘non-fiction that reads like a first class thriller’ by Jonathan Freedland – and Rory’s new book promises to be a similarly exciting work of propulsive historical non-fiction From the master storyteller behind 2023’s critically acclaimed KILLING THATCHER A Rebel and a Traitor is the story of a rogue imperial consul who sought to forge a new nation in the middle of a war – and the mercurial spy chief who sought to destroy him by any means. The rogue consul was Sir Roger Casement, a decorated diplomat who turned his back on the British empire and instead joined the rising Irish cause at the turn of the 20th century. At the book’s centre is the manhunt for Casement led by intelligence officer Reginald ‘Blinker’ Hall, the legendary British spy chief who pioneered codebreaking, early mass surveillance and media manipulation. As he did for the critically acclaimed Killing Thatcher, master storyteller Rory Carroll has combed diaries, letters, police reports, memoirs, court transcripts, secret service archives and declassified government files in the US, Britain, Ireland and Germany to create a page-turning history, and a story that still echoes through Anglo-Irish relations. A Rebel and a Traitor raises profound questions about honour, courage and the price of patriotism. Ideal for readers who… love narrative non-fiction that reads like a thriller, with a manhunt at its core are fascinated by Anglo-Irish history and the figures who shaped (and shattered) empires want an immersive story of espionage, surveillance, propaganda, and early intelligence warfare enjoy character-rich history built from diaries, letters, archives, and court records like books that probe big moral questions about honour, courage, loyalty, and the cost of patriotism

36. I want to go home but I'm already there
by Róisín Lanigan
€13.05
Renting is a nightmare... Áine should be feeling happy with her life. She's just moved in with Elliot. Their new flat is in an affluent neighbourhood, surrounded by bakeries, yoga studios and organic vegetable shops. They even have a garden. And yet, from the moment they move in, Áine can't shake the sense that there's something not quite right about the place... It's not just the humourless estate agent and nameless landlord: it's the chill that seeps through the draughty windows; the damp spreading from the cellar door; the way the organic fruit and veg never lasts as long as it should. And most of all, it's the upstairs neighbours, whose very presence makes peaceful coexistence very difficult indeed. The longer Áine spends inside the flat - pretending to work from home; dissecting messages from the friends whose lives seem to have moved on without her - the less it feels like home. And as Áine fixates on the cracks in the ceiling, it becomes harder to ignore the cracks in her relationship with Elliott... Brilliantly observed and darkly funny, I Want to Go Home But I'm Already There is a ghost story set in the rental crisis. A wonderfully clear-eyed portrait of loneliness, loss and belonging, it examines what it means to feel at home. 'Absorbing and eerie ... Full of wry observations about the status markers of modern life ... A hugely enjoyable portrait of the horrors of renting' Sunday Times 'A brilliant satire of London's horrific housing market ... It got under my skin in a way that made me shiver' Guardian 'A document of hellish times and a map of our relationships with others, ourselves, and our demons - metaphorical and literal' New Statesman 'One of the best things I've read on the psychological horrors of private renting, and what damp, overpriced flats can do to our emotional lives. Hilarious, horrifying, truly original. I loved it' Oisìn McKenna, author of Evenings and Weekends 'Róisìn Lanigan has been threatening to be the next great Irish writer for ages, so I'm glad she's finally sat down and done it' Joel Golby

51. Reparenting the Inner Child
by Nicole LePera
€20.99
From the internationally bestselling author of How to Do the Work and How to Be the Love You Seek comes a groundbreaking guide to healing our childhood wounds and rediscovering our full potential As adults, we often fall into patterns that feel irrational or out of character-shutting down, lashing out, people-pleasing, or self-sabotaging. Beneath those reactions lies our inner child, a younger part of us still trying to get its needs met the only way it knows how. We all carry the imprint of our earliest years. Childhood is brief, yet its impact is lifelong. Some parts of us were met with love while other parts were met with silence, criticism, or disapproval. To survive, we learned to adapt-learning to over perform, to hide, or stay small. Most of us made it through with a mix of love and lack. And many of us still protect the parts of ourselves that once felt unsafe While we can't change what happened, we can change how it lives within us and impacts our lives today. Reparenting the Inner Child offers a clear, compassionate path to selfintegration, combining practical exercises, somatic tools, and guided reflections to help us create the safety, love, and boundaries we've always needed. Through her holistic framework that models individual development, Dr. LePera explains how we can cultivate the emotional maturity and regulation to respond calmly instead of reacting, to embrace desire instead of shame, and to question the stories we've long believed about who we have to be. Enlightening, empowering, and clarifying, Reparenting the Inner Child is a book that will stand the test of time as a comprehensive guide for personal development and healing, and a resource that will forever change the way we understand ourselves.

by Gisèle Pelicot
€13.99
The sexual assault that rocked the world. A courageous woman’s rallying call for ‘shame to change sides’. For the very first time, Gisèle Pelicot tells her story. Praise: ‘An emblem of resilience for women everywhere’ — Vogue ‘The bravest woman in the world’ — Daily Mirror A best book of 2026 for the Observer , Telegraph , Guardian , Financial Times , New York Times , Daily Mirror , Irish Times , GQ Magazine , Lit Hub , BBC and more. One November day, Gisèle Pelicot was called to a local police station and life as she knew it ended. Her husband of fifty years had been caught by a supermarket guard filming up women’s skirts. But on his computer was shattering evidence: for nearly a decade, he had been secretly drugging and raping her and inviting dozens of strangers into their home to abuse her. Four years later, he and fifty other men were put on trial and Gisèle’s courage in waiving her right to anonymity made global headlines. ‘Shame must change sides,’ she declared, giving voice and hope to millions. Her words became a rallying cry and her decision marked a turning point in public feeling about sexual violence. For the first time, and with unwavering honesty and grace, she describes a difficult childhood, first love, her career and motherhood. It is a life in determined search of happiness, both before and after her devastating discovery. She is an ordinary person who faces extraordinary catastrophe, whose example changes the world. Ultimately, Gisèle Pelicot emerges with a renewed passion and reverence for living, and for love. A Hymn to Life is an unforgettable testament and promise: that victims have no reason to feel ashamed; that even after unimaginable betrayal we can go on; and that colour will always return to life.

by Niall Breslin

In a world often marked by chaos and uncertainty, it's easy to feel unmoored, as if the ground beneath you is always shifting. Yet, just as Polaris - the North Star - has guided travelers for centuries, this book is here to serve as your compass: a steady reminder that even when the way forward seems unclear, a path always exists. Drawing on the principles of mindfulness and Niall Breslin's sensitive wisdom, it offers practical ways to reconnect with your inner stillness and meet life's challenges with patience and clarity. This isn't about fixing yourself or chasing perfection; it's about rediscovering the steady core within.

But the principles you'll find here can anchor you in turbulent times, guide you back when you drift, and help you make sense of life's heaviest moments. Deeply personal and transformational, this is not a book of rigid rules or quick fixes. Instead, it invites you to slow down, release what no longer serves you, and trust the quiet wisdom that's always been within. It reminds you that everything you need to endure, heal, and move forward is already inside you. By embracing these principles, you'll reconnect with your unshaken self - the part that has never been wounded.- and find your way home.

A satisfying sip of knowledge for anyone who loves pubs, pints and good company - and the perfect gift for St Patrick's Day, birthdays or your next pub round! Sample Content: "I was blue mouldy for the want of that pint. Declare to God, I could hear it hit the pit of my stomach with a click." James Joyce, describing a first taste of the black stuff in Barney Kiernan's pub, Ulysses, 1922 "At one with the One, it didn't mean a thing besides a glass of Guinness on a sunny day." Graham Greene, writer and journalist "My Goodness, My Guinness." Iconic advertising slogan, 1935 In the early 20th century, Guinness was marketed as a health tonic. Doctors recommended it to blood donors and even to pregnant women, thanks to its iron content. The famous slogan "Guinness is Good for You" was born from this era. While it's true that Guinness contains a small amount of iron (about 0.3 mg per pint), you'd need to drink dozens of pints a day to hit your recommended daily intake!

129. This Book Made Me Think of You
by Libby Page
€16.99
A BBC RADIO 2 BOOK CLUB PICK Twelve stories. Twelve months. One chance to heal her heart... When Tilly Nightingale receives a call telling her there's a birthday gift from her husband waiting for her at her local bookshop, it couldn't come as more of a shock. Partly, because she can't remember the last time she read a book for pleasure. Mainly, because Joe died five months ago… The gift is simple - twelve carefully chosen books from Joe, one for each month, to help her turn the page on her first year without him. And so begins a reading-inspired journey that takes Tilly around the world; from bustling sidewalks in New York and the tree-lined avenues of Paris to the tranquil Tuscan countryside and the white sands of Bali. With the help of the bookshop owner, Alfie, Tilly starts to discover who she is now, after Joe. But can Tilly's year of books show her how to love again?

133. Nothing Good Happens After 2am
by Niamh Hargan
€14.99
From London to Los Angeles, Berlin and Tokyo, Nothing Good Happens After 2 a.m. is a story of friendship, ambition, creativity - and something more. Behind the unmarked door of Love and Death, a tiny speakeasy in East London, Robbie Saunders and El Tippett are cocktail-making stars on the rise. As London's bar scene explodes around them, Robbie and El circle each other, connected by passion and competitive spirit. From Hackney to Soho in the small hours, as the city transforms itself, nothing - and no one - has ever felt so alive. But when it all comes crashing down, something indefinable keeps drawing Robbie and El back into each other's orbit. Over the years that follow, in bars around the world, one unexpected, ill-advised, and utterly glorious late night after another, can they put aside professional betrayals to build something brand new? 'A dream of a book - a beautiful and unusual love story, but also an exploration of what truly matters in life. Niamh Hargan writes with humour, insight and absolute mastery of a narrative that stretches over decades but races along. Like a late-night cocktail, this book was a joyful delight from start to finish' Jane Casey
