by Elizabeth Strout

€17.99

The new novel from Booker-shortlisted, Pulitzer Prize-winning Elizabeth Strout—is available for pre-order now. TELL ME EVERYTHING is a hopeful, healing novel about new friendships, old loves, and the universal desire to leave a lasting impact. It’s autumn in Maine, and Bob Burgess, the town lawyer, is caught up in a murder investigation, defending a lonely man accused of killing his mother. At the same time, he forms a deep friendship with Lucy Barton, an acclaimed writer who lives by the sea with her ex-husband, William. Together, Lucy and Bob share walks, reflecting on life, fears, regrets, and missed opportunities. Meanwhile, Lucy is introduced to the iconic Olive Kitteridge, now in a nearby retirement community. They spend afternoons in Olive’s apartment, sharing stories of “unrecorded lives”—reanimating memories and finding meaning in their experiences. Brimming with empathy and pathos, TELL ME EVERYTHING showcases Elizabeth Strout at her best, illuminating the power of relationships to sustain us. As Lucy observes, "Love comes in so many different forms, but it is always love."

'The major publication milestone of 2025' OBSERVER A publishing event ten years in the making-a searing, exquisite new novel by the best-selling and award-winning author of Americanah and We Should All Be Feminists-the story of four women and their loves, longings and desires. 'The return of a literary titan' TELEGRAPH CHOSEN AS A SUNDAY TIMES, GUARDIAN, OBSERVER, FINANCIAL TIMES, INDEPENDENT, TELEGRAPH, GQ and COSMOPOLITAN BOOK OF 2025. Chiamaka is a Nigerian travel writer living in America. Alone in the midst of the pandemic, she recalls her past lovers and grapples with her choices and regrets. Zikora, her best friend, is a lawyer who has been successful at everything until - betrayed and brokenhearted - she must turn to the person she thought she needed least. Omelogor, Chiamaka's bold, outspoken cousin, is a financial powerhouse in Nigeria who begins to question how well she knows herself. And Kadiatou, Chiamaka's housekeeper, is proudly raising her daughter in America - but faces an unthinkable hardship that threatens all she has worked to achieve. In Dream Count, Adichie trains her fierce eye on these women in a sparkling, transcendent novel that takes up the very nature of love itself. Is true happiness ever attainable or is it just a fleeting state? And how honest must we be with ourselves in order to love, and to be loved? A trenchant reflection on the choices we make and those made for us, on daughters and mothers, on our interconnected world, Dream Count pulses with emotional urgency and poignant, unflinching observations on the human heart, in language that soars with beauty and power. It confirms Adichie's status as one of the most exciting and dynamic writers on the literary landscape. 'Expect everyone to be talking about this one' INDEPENDENT

Miranda July's second novel confirms the brilliance of her unique approach to fiction. With July's wry voice, perfect comic timing, unabashed curiosity about human intimacy and palpable delight in pushing boundaries, All Fours tells the story of one woman's quest for a new kind of freedom.

Once again, July hijacks the familiar and turns it into something new and thrillingly, profoundly alive.
