by Louise O'Neill

€17.99

A deliciously honest memoir about dating, desire and the radical act of wanting more. At 38, Louise O’Neill had the life she thought she wanted—until her long-term relationship ended, taking with it the home, future, and sense of certainty she’d built. Heartbroken but defiant, she made a radical decision: to say yes to everything, to take risks, and to reclaim her life—on her own terms. What followed was a dating experiment that took her across Paris, London, New York, and beyond. Through the men she meets and the moments in between, Louise begins to challenge everything she’s been taught to settle for – in life, love, and in herself. Part memoir, part manifesto, A Bigger Life is a candid, courageous exploration of modern womanhood, sexual freedom, and the myths we’re sold about what makes a life worthwhile. It’s about embracing uncertainty, finding joy after heartbreak, and creating space for the version of yourself that doesn’t play small. Louise invites us to laugh, wince, and reflect as she asks the question at the heart of the book: What does it really mean to live a bigger life? Ideal for readers who: Connect with memoirs about dating, desire and rebuilding after heartbreak. Prefer frank reflections on wanting more from love, sex and adulthood. Warm to self-discovery told through travel, risk-taking, candour and wit. Cherish feminist honesty about refusing to shrink or settle.

by Joe Duffy

€22.99

For nearly three decades, Joe Duffy sat behind the mic as host of RTÉ's Liveline, the radio show that became Ireland's national sounding board. In this walk down memory lane, Joe takes readers inside the studio and beyond, sharing the stories, voices and moments that defined a generation. From Celtic Tiger boom to crash, from marriage equality to menopause, Liveline was where Ireland came to talk - and often to change. It was the place where scandals broke, injustices were exposed, and ordinary people made headlines - and where issues from maternity care to abuses in schools and institutions were brought into the national conversation. With warmth, honesty and trademark wit, Joe reflects on the privilege and responsibility of platforming the nation's voice, through heartbreak, humour, anger and hope. Talk to Joe is more than a memoir: it's a chronicle of Ireland in transition, told by the man who listened hardest - and made talking feel easy.

by Kyla Cobbler

€17.99

When I was twenty-one, I met a woman who introduced me to five magic words that changed my life: Happy, Thank You. More, Please.' Kyla Cobbler's path to self-love hasn't run smoothly. From questionable dating decisions, to using booze to quell her constant Irish state of mortification, to getting wrongly arrested for drug smuggling - sometimes it's been hard to believe that the universe has her back. But when Kyla began opening herself up to gratitude - for the tiny victories, not just the big firework moments - and learned to trust her instincts, she began to realise that she had the power to create her own happiness. With raw honesty and wit, Happy, thank you. More, please., chronicles Kyla's journey from performing as the person she thought she should be, to discovering the chaotic, complicated, unapologetically imperfect woman she actually is. This is a book about falling in love with your real self - not because you've fixed everything, but because you've finally stopped trying to. Ideal for readers who: Follow memoirs that turn mortification, messy choices and self-discovery into sharp comedy. Lean towards gratitude stories that feel honest, imperfect and lived-in rather than polished. Warm to Irish voices that can be funny and vulnerable in the same breath. Favour a candid reminder that happiness can begin before everything is fixed.

by Mark Little

€18.99

'A masterclass in how the internet actually works, written by someone who built it up, watched it break, and refuses to give up on it. Essential reading for anyone who lives online. Which is to say, everyone.' Donie O'Sullivan, CNN Senior Correspondent Do you remember when the internet felt like a shared playground? When strangers around the world connected over something as simple as the colour of a dress?

Drawing on his unique experience as the founder of two internet start-ups, Storyful and Kinzen, and working with Twitter and Spotify, Little charts the rise of the attention economy and the relentless pursuit of scale that fuelled the toxic algorithms, hate, misinformation and division of today's online world. As AI reshapes our future, Little then asks the question that matters most: What if we could take the internet back? Ideal for readers who: Miss the early days when the internet felt much more open, curious and community-focused. Look for an authoritative insider’s view of Silicon Valley, social media platforms and the attention economy. Follow critical contemporary debates surrounding misinformation, toxic algorithms, AI and online trust. Are looking for hopeful, practical thinking on how to reclaim individual agency and control over digital life.

by James McClean

€22.99

This is the raw untold story of a footballer from Creggan, a complex and deprived area of his beloved Derry, who defied the odds to reach the summit of his profession. James McClean grew up in the staunchly republican Creggan area of Derry where he came under the influence of Martin McGuinness, the IRA commander/Sinn Fein leader, amongst others. His decision to shun alcohol and other temptations from an early age meant that he could concentrate on his sporting talent and his dream of becoming a professional footballer. His breakthrough came with his local club, Derry City, who don't play in the Northern Ireland league, but in the Rep of Ireland, before he was capped for an underage Northern Ireland team. He then dramatically switched his allegiance to the Rep of Ireland. He played 103 times for Ireland. He signed for Sunderland in the Premiership and went on to play for Wigan, West Brom and Stoke before a return to Wigan and ending up most recently at Wrexham. His English playing career could be termed more 'journeyman' than star, but his life off the field was far from dull, most notably his decision not to wear a poppy when clubs started to print it on their jerseys. His decision meant he has been both condemned and supported. The BBC said in 2015 that McClean's decision not to wear the poppy was one of the top 5 reasons people stated they wouldn't wear one. After the refusal he was subjected to sectarian abuse and loyalist threats, including death threats. Ideal for readers who… Have followed James McClean's career and want his own account of it  - McClean has spent fifteen years in English football, earned a century of caps for the Republic of Ireland, and has just returned to his hometown club, Derry City. The Walls is his account of that career, in his own words. Are interested in the relationship between football, identity, and Northern Ireland's history  - McClean has spoken publicly for over a decade about his reasons for not wearing a poppy, rooted in his connection to Derry and Bloody Sunday. This memoir gives the fuller context behind a position he has had to explain repeatedly throughout his career. Want to understand what it has meant, day to day, to hold a public position that draws sustained criticism  - McClean has spoken about the abuse he has received over many years. This book is an opportunity to hear, in detail and in his own words, what that experience has actually involved. Are from Derry, Creggan, or follow League of Ireland football  - McClean began his career at Derry City and has now returned there. For readers with a connection to the club or the city, this is the story of one of their own, told from the beginning. Read sports memoirs for more than the sport  - The Walls sits alongside other recent Irish sporting memoirs that use a career in sport as a way into a much larger personal and political story.

by Mary Kennedy

€18.99

What if growing older wasn't about fading away, but finally stepping into your full power? Here, one of Ireland's most beloved voices invites us to rethink what it is to age - personally, socially and spiritually. With warmth, openness and insight, Mary shares her own experience of growing older, alongside the reflections of wise and remarkable elders who have lived, strived and thrived through life's seasons.

She shows how age can be a time of healing, of returning to the past not to dwell on it but to liberate ourselves in the present. A beautiful celebration of the richness of age, and a reminder that the later chapters may be the most powerful of all.

by John Burke

€16.99

Have you driven by a steep and rounded cliff by the coast and know you knew the name of it when you were younger? When helping with fractions homework, do you find yourself saying 'what you do to the bottom you must do to the top'? Or still to this day think 'i' before e, except after c'? A classical education used to be about imparting knowledge. Whether it was the Fenian cycle and Irish mythology or the great rivers, mountains and oceans of the world; learning seanfhocail or the solar system by rote or understanding the structure of a sentence or an equation.

In addition, he reminds us of the games we played in school and on the way home, and of special feast days and holidays so that you'll find yourself yearning for your schooldays once again!

by Gary Murphy

€21.99

An insightful, searing and clear-eyed account of Taoiseach Brian Cowen and his time as leader of the country during Ireland's greatest crisis From the author of the bestselling Haughey, Gary Murphy returns with a major reassessment of Ireland's most turbulent political era. In this richly textured account of Brian Cowen's inexorable rise to the office of Taoiseach and his dramatic fall, Murphy offers a ground-breaking portrait of a man and an era that defined modern Ireland. This rigorously researched study examines the decisions, pressures and circumstances that shaped Brian Cowen's 1,036 days as Taoiseach, a period that coincided with the collapse of Ireland's banking system and the state's entry into an EU-IMF programme. Drawing on extensive interviews, documentation and contemporaneous accounts, Murphy explores the context surrounding the bank guarantee, the loss of economic autonomy and the path that led to external intervention. Balanced, detailed and accessible, this book offers a comprehensive analysis of how government, institutions and global forces interacted during a crisis that transformed modern Ireland.

by Ronan Lyons

€17.99

Over 50% of Irish people under 40 are either living with their parents or in share accommodation, unable to live either by themselves or with partners despite that being their preference. The housing crisis is often spoken of as a bubble, but economics professor Ronan Lyons argues that this metaphor is outdated. Rather, Ireland suffers from a brittle housing system, one that has lost the ability to respond to change. This groundbreaking book shows what that brittleness is doing to society, how it emerged and, most critically, how a healthier housing system can be built. Ideal for readers who… Want to understand why housing in Ireland is so expensive — and why it got this way — Ronan Lyons has spent fifteen years researching the Irish housing market, producing the Daft.ie House Price Report and publishing academic work on Irish housing in international economic journals. This isn't commentary: it's analysis from the person who has studied the data most closely. Are renting in Ireland and feel like something has gone fundamentally wrong — they're right, and this book explains exactly what. Lyons traces the policy decisions, planning failures, and structural choices that created the crisis, without the vagueness of political debate or the simplification of newspaper opinion columns. Want to know if the housing crisis can actually be fixed — and how — the second half of the book's subtitle is "and How To Fix It." Lyons doesn't stop at diagnosis. He sets out the specific policy changes that could resolve Ireland's housing shortage, grounded in international evidence and comparative analysis. Follow Irish politics and economics and want the expert account — housing has dominated Irish political debate for a decade. Lyons has been the most consistently cited economist on housing throughout that period. This is the book that puts the full argument in one place, from the person whose research has shaped the policy conversation. Are interested in urban economics, planning, and why cities work the way they do — Brittle is not just about Ireland. The mechanisms Lyons describes — how planning restrictions, tax treatment of land, and construction costs interact to constrain housing supply — apply across Europe and beyond. Irish readers will recognise the specific consequences; international readers will recognise the pattern. Are buying a gift for someone who cares about Ireland's future — this is the rare economics book that is also urgently relevant to everyday life. Anyone who rents, owns, or is trying to get onto the property ladder in Ireland will find something in here that explains their experience. It is accessible enough for a general reader and rigorous enough to satisfy someone with an economics background.

by Eoghan Daltun

€22.99

In Setting the Land Free, award-winning author and rewilder Eoghan Daltun explores the state of rewilding in Ireland, as the beginnings of a mass movement - the like of which has been successfully modelled in Scotland - grows in impact and stature. As he considers the radical shift that is needed in our relationship with our natural world, he takes to the high roads and by-roads to meet with those at the forefront of change. The book provides an inspiring vision for rewilding in an Irish context, creating refuges for wild nature in a landscape that has been given over almost entirely to human extractive processes, such as industrialised farming or monoculture plantation forestry. From those involved in bog ecosystem restoration, to native species reintroduction, to rewilding at sea, forest rewilding and much more, Eoghan meets with the pioneers at the cutting edge of the transformed relationship with nature required for the future of diverse species and habitats, and for ecological balance. A courageous book that forges a vision that is as inspiring as it is urgent. Ideal for readers who: Care about rewilding, biodiversity and Ireland's natural future. Respond to environmental nonfiction grounded in real people and local projects. Prefer nature writing that connects bogs, forests, seas and species restoration. Savour hopeful but urgent thinking about changing our relationship with the land.

by Nikita Hand

€17.99

December, 2018. The aftermath of a night of revelry. The promise of a party. And then, a journey into darkness that would change the course of Nikita Hand’s life – as she endured a brutal assault where she believed she would die. Here, in her own words, Nikita tells her unforgettable story. From the bleak days that followed, reeling in shock and fear, to the long hours as she gave her Garda statement, trusting the truth would be enough. Then months holding her breath, only to discover there would be no prosecution. When she took the decision that would define her future, Nikita Hand stepped into the glare of a civil case against one of the world’s most powerful athletes, Conor McGregor, knowing exactly what it would cost her – but certain she had no choice. Through panic attacks, sleepless nights, a terrifying home invasion that shattered any remaining sense of safety, she kept going. On into the courtroom, where she faced her perpetrator at arm’s length – and spent four gruelling days in the witness box. The judgment would make headlines. The backlash would nearly break her. Not the Perfect Victim is the electrifying, courageous story of a woman reclaiming her power. An account of survival, defiance and the hard-won rebuilding of a life no one could take from her. Ideal for readers who: Are ready for a survivor memoir told with directness, courage and anger at injustice. Value stories that challenge the idea of the perfect victim. Are trying to understand the personal cost of reporting, civil action and public backlash. Connect with non-fiction about reclaiming power after trauma without softening the truth.

by Siobhán Fenton

€17.99

What really goes on behind closed doors in Ireland’s most secretive political party? Long defined by message control and secrecy, Sinn Féin has rarely allowed outsiders a glimpse behind the curtain. Ourselves Alone, by former communications adviser and party spokesperson, Siobhán Fenton, is therefore a unique insight into its inner workings. Fenton’s recruitment in 2020 reflected Sinn Féin’s ambition to broaden its appeal as it pushed toward government in the Republic. A Belfast native with a career in Northern Irish and British media, and no republican pedigree, Fenton was an unlikely insider. What she found – watching the leadership shape policy and strategy, dealing with the fall-out when these unravelled – was not the slick political machine many assumed, but an organisation grappling with the same pressures, misjudgements, and human frailties as any other, stresses that would eventually prove ruinous for its hopes. Charting the years when Sinn Féin seemed poised for power, with Mary Lou McDonald set to become Ireland’s first female Taoiseach, Fenton traces how its momentum faltered. Particularly revealing is her account of the party’s ham-fisted response to the Dublin riots, a critical turning point. With nuance and candour, she recounts strategic missteps, the strains on its leadership, and her own role in a project that lost its way. Part political memoir, part insider history, Ourselves Alone is an illuminating portrait of a pivotal moment in modern Irish politics—and of a party confronting the limits of its own myth-making. Ideal for readers who: Follow modern Irish political nonfiction with memoir, access and insider perspective. Look at how strategy, message control and leadership pressure shape a party. Understand Sinn Féin’s recent public momentum through someone inside the operation. Prefer candid political writing that explains systems without losing the human strain.

Malcolm Gladwell returns with a brilliant new work: an incisive investigation into gun violence, America's deadliest and most polarizing crisis. Why, when it comes to lethal violence, is America so different from the rest of the globe? The United States is wealthier, better educated, more technologically sophisticated, more religious than almost any of its peers in the developed world—all of which would suggest that it should also have the lowest levels of violence. Yet the opposite is true. In this bold new book, Malcolm Gladwell outlines the paradox, then walks the reader through a series of stories drawn from every corner of American life and culture—from emergency rooms to Hollywood westerns to big-city police departments to Supreme Court oral arguments—looking for answers.

by John Grisham

€17.99

John Grisham is known worldwide as the master of the legal thriller, and one of our most popular novelists, but his lifelong passion for justice has also led him to work extensively with The Innocence Project, and inspired him to tell often shocking stories of wrongful convictions—first in The Innocent Man, the basis for the Netflix documentary, and most recently in the #1 New York Times bestseller Framed, written with Jim McCloskey. Now he turns an unflinching eye to the tragic case of Robert Roberson, a Texas father who has spent years on death row for a crime he did not commit. In Shaken: The Rush to Execute an Innocent Man, he exposes the many failures that led to a blameless man's death sentence, and a justice system more eager for a conviction than the truth. Powerful, urgent, and frequently unimaginable, this is both a riveting legal drama as only John Grisham can tell it, and a searing indictment of America’s criminal justice system. Ideal for readers who: Seek out urgent legal nonfiction about wrongful conviction and the death penalty. Are pulled into Robert Roberson's case and the failures behind a death sentence. Value true-crime writing focused on justice, evidence and institutional responsibility. Follow real-world legal outrage told with narrative pace and moral urgency.

by Anthony Scaramucci

€18.99

An explosive insider story of the biggest mistakes in history and how to put them right - from the man who saw America's wrong moves up close, White House insider turned host of the hit podcast, The Rest is Politics: US We're living in an age of deep political anger and frustration. Where did it come from, and how do we get out? Anthony Scaramucci's electrifying answer - rooted in history, business, and first-hand experience - reveals the true origins of America's current crisis, charting how both political parties made a series of catastrophic decisions that dismantled a postwar period of unprecedented stability and prosperity. Each decision deepened inequality, corroded trust, and fueled the anger that empowered Donald Trump's rise and his assault on democracy. The story Scaramucci tells is 'money-point-of-view history': it gallops from Wall St to Main St, from the boardroom to the Situation Room. A product of the working class who rose to the heights of finance and power, he has witnessed first-hand how money and ambition have always lived in tension with ideals. And he brings a rare skin-in-the game perspective to showing how both parties failed the people they once represented. It will take courage and tough action but in All The Wrong Moves he sets up the challenge to cut through partisanship and embrace some right ones. All the Wrong Moves is not about right and left. It's about right and wrong. It is a portrait of America which has the clarity of an X-ray and is a blistering display of storytelling and analysis. Ideal for readers who: Follow a political insider’s view of how bad decisions reshape public life. See big-picture history filtered through business, Washington and lived experience. Connect past policy choices to today’s anger and instability. Favour arguments that are direct, provocative and built for debate.

by Vincent Hogan

by Sylvester Stallone

€16.99

We know Sylvester Stallone as one of the most revered actors, writers and directors of all time, yet his life story is as unexpected as it is moving and inspirational. In this book, Stallone will give readers an intimate and revealing glimpse into his journey for the very first time. Since the release of Rocky in 1976, what has unfolded is an extraordinary love affair between Sly and the world, a unique bond that has lasted for over five decades and speaks to his remarkable ability to connect with people regardless of age or background. The iconic seventy-two steps that Rocky runs up at the Philadelphia Museum of Art have become a symbol of resilience and determination and have inspired countless individuals. This memoir represents the culmination of decades of reflection since twelve-year-old Sly first sat on those steps and daydreamed about being a hero. Sly will share where he came from - a difficult childhood as a lost, bullied and mistreated loner - and the struggle, fear, loss and self-doubt that followed. But while Sly took many hits, his story didn't end with the tough times. They were simply a starting point. His real story is about facing, embracing and ultimately overcoming life's challenges, step by step, and the lessons we can learn about life when we do. Ideal for readers who: Are curious about the life beyond the legend of Rocky. Choose an inspirational memoir about persistence, reinvention and connection with audiences. Are interested in Hollywood life stories that trace the work behind an enduring public image. Value reflections on fame, resilience and symbols that outgrow a single film.

The definitive biography of Ireland's greatest post-war writer: 'the most important Irish novelist since Samuel Beckett' (Guardian) that 'everyone should read'; (Colm Tibn); 'one of the greatest writers of our era' (Hilary Mantel). The definitive biography of Ireland's greatest post-war writer, rich in dramatic revelations bringing to life the world that inspired his masterpieces. On his death in 2006, John McGahern was hailed as 'the most important Irish novelist since Samuel Beckett' (Guardian) that ‘everyone should read’ (Colm Tóibín) and ‘one of the greatest writers of our era’ (Hilary Mantel). But who was the enigmatic man behind the literary myth? McGahern became famous in 1965 when his novel The Dark - exposing child abuse in the rural Irish community - was banned for its ‘pornographic content’. But his private life before and after has been shrouded in mystery. One of seven children on a farm ruled by his militant father, McGahern’s universe was shattered by the death of his mother when he was nine. After studying at University College Dublin, his early marriage failed - and once dismissed from his position as a teacher after the censorship scandal, his turmoiled love affairs as an exile in London lead to the secret birth of a son. But it was the moment he met his future wife, Madeline Green – his partner for the rest of his life – that defined his future existence of literary creativity. After decades of research, Frank Shovlin has crafted a magisterial portrait of this elusive figure, drawing on hours of new interviews and unseen archival material to illuminate a cultural legend. Ideal for readers who: Make time for a definitive biography of John McGahern and the Ireland that shaped him. Appreciate literary lives told through family history, censorship and private contradictions. Are interested in the person behind a major national writer.

by John Creedon

This Boy's Voice is a memoir that picks up where This Boy's Heart left off, recalling formative scenes from John's adolescence and early adulthood. A rapidly changing Ireland of the 1970s and 1980s forms the backdrop to these stories as John observes the world around him while trying to make a mark on it.

Man United, becoming a commie, and finally, the birth of John's four daughters, when his heart was never to be his own again.

by Gillian Anderson

€17.99

Am I a bad person? Or am I allowed to wonder “what if”?’ ‘Is this kind of desire simply something people feel but don’t speak about?' ‘What is a woman without fantasy?’ More pleasure, more kink, more partners, more zest – this is desire turned all the way up. If Want sparked the fire of a quiet revolution, More gives women the fuel to let it roar. In this electrifying sequel, Gillian Anderson invites us to leave shame and fear at the door as she dials up the heat on women’s sexual fantasies and dares us to want more. This collection of intimate letters – submitted by anonymous women across the globe, curated and introduced by Gillian – dives deeper into what women everywhere think, feel and dream about in their most private moments. Spilling out of the bedroom, the letters take us to all spaces where desire resides, from the school gates to office boardrooms, kitchen counters to forest floors. Bolder and more explicit, they come from over fifty nations and women from eighteen to eighty. Nothing is off limits: there are silken ropes and stirrups, metal collars and machines, neighbours, friends, in-laws and strangers, cravings to own and be owned, people to desire and be desired by, pleasure and pain in equal measure. Joyful, unapologetic and deliciously unfiltered, More proves that the freedom for women to fantasise without restraint is as exhilarating and vital as ever. Ideal for readers who: Appreciate candid writing about women’s desire without shame or apology. Delight in intimate anonymous voices exploring fantasy, pleasure and wanting. Follow the cultural conversation sparked by Want and carried further here. Prefer nonfiction that feels bold, private, provocative and emotionally honest.

by Joe Biden

€21.99

In his candid and revealing memoir, Joe Biden reflects on his time as president: the challenges, triumphs, sorrows, and accomplishments that marked his administration amid one of the most tumultuous eras in American history. Biden took the oath of office on the steps of the U.S. Capitol, where - just days earlier - rioters had stormed the halls and threatened the very foundation of our democracy. He did so while looking out at a field of flags where crowds should have been, except that our nation was in the throes of a pandemic that kept people from gathering. With the nation still reeling from the January 6 assault, shattered by an inept response to a historic pandemic, and paralyzed by a steep recession, the mandate before him was clear but daunting: to heal a divided country, restore the integrity of its frayed institutions, and prove to a skeptical public that the world's greatest democracy could still deliver for its people. Now Biden tells the story of a historically eventful presidency. With his hallmark grit and decades of hard-won institutional wisdom, he led an administration that engineered the most sweeping domestic agenda in generations. From orchestrating a historic multibillion-dollar infrastructure renaissance and reviving American manufacturing to passing landmark legislation lowering healthcare costs and tackling the climate crisis, Biden details how he took risks, made gambles, and defied the pundits to build an economy, in his words, "from the middle out and the bottom up." On the world stage, Biden recounts the urgent high-stakes diplomacy required to rebuild America's traditional alliances in the face of new threats. He shares first-person accounts of standing steadfast against authoritarian aggression, modernizing NATO, and leading the global coalition to defend Ukraine in its darkest hours. And for the first time, he reveals the deeply agonizing calculation behind his decision in the summer of 2024 to step aside from the presidential race and to put his party and the nation before his personal ambitions. Moving, historic, and filled with the unyielding optimism that has defined Joe Biden's fifty years of public service, Promise Me, America is a powerful testament to resilience, to the power of personal relationships in service of political progress, and to a leader who put country above all else.

by Pope Leo XIV

€18.99

In his first book of original, never-before-seen writings, Pope Leo XIV offers readers around the world a window into the spiritual foundation that would lead him to the papacy—in his own words before his election. Before becoming Pope Leo XIV, Robert Francis Prevost had never published a book. But shortly after his election to the papacy, Leo chose these previously unpublished texts to become his first published collection of writings: Freedom Under Grace. This wide-ranging book captures the heart of his spirituality, forged by the conviction that “man is not defined by what he possesses or what he knows, but rather by what he loves.” This collection comes from Prevost’s time overseeing the Order of Saint Augustine, distilling his understanding of the Christian life today for individuals, local communities and churches, and the whole Catholic Church. Drawing on the rich tradition of Saint Augustine, Prevost advances an inspiring vision rooted in community and solidarity, commitment to social justice for the poor and marginalized, and the confidence that the gospel of Jesus Christ is what the world most desperately needs to face today’s challenges. For anyone looking to Pope Leo for wisdom and pastoral guidance, Freedom Under Grace is essential reading, delivering profound spiritual depth, penetrating theological insight, and unwavering moral courage.

by Eoin Warner

€21.99

In January 1979, when Eoin Warner was two years old, an oil tanker exploded in Bantry Bay. Among the fifty lives lost was Eoin's father. This devastating event cast a long shadow, shaping a childhood in which grief was a quiet presence at the table and in the empty front seat of the car. During this time, Eoin discovered how the natural world reflects so much of our human story, and it became his refuge. This memoir is not a straight line through loss; it's a series of vivid encounters with the natural world, brimming with enchantment and wonder.

In this beautifully written book, Eoin explores the gifts that nature gives us when everything else falls away – patience, solace and a sense of belonging.

In Ireland, to say "I'm grand" can range from meaning "I'm on the verge of a nervous breakdown" to "I think this is the happiest I've ever been in my life". It is our catch-all term so as not to burden the other person too negatively or positively. (Because we are very sound like that.) It rings out throughout the nation from morning to night; in the church yards, pubs, schoolrooms and streets, easing the worries of all who hear those magical words: Ah look, it'll be grand. And aren't they dead right? Don't things always seem to work out in the end? Freud said of the Irish, "This is one race of people for whom psychoanalysis is of no use whatsoever." Well, why would they need it? Armed with the certainty that things will be grand, this book details how the Irish have become the most well-adjusted race on earth through the magic of keeping level heads and refusing to get notions. With quotes and lessons from famous Irish characters - both historical and fictional - and chocked full of charming stories from the Emerald Isle, this tongue-in-cheek guide to life is the perfect antidote to Murphy's Law, bestowing a deep assuredness that life always seems to work itself out eventually.

by Christian Horner

€18.99

For over twenty years Christian Horner built and ran Red Bull Racing, transforming a rookie team acquired for £1 into one of the leading forces in Formula 1. Inspired by the company's unofficial motto, 'No Risk, No Fun', Horner's Red Bull rewrote the rulebook, broke longstanding records, won fourteen World Championship titles and created a global sporting franchise now worth billions. Drive tells that story. From Christian's childhood passion for speed to his career as a racing driver, to his appointment as the youngest team principal in F1 history. It exposes the incredible pressures of that role, the psychological demands negotiated during each race, and the instinctive decision-making required to win (and win again) in a sport of maximum risk with the very finest margins. Vivid, candid and uncompromising, Horner captures the intense drama and high personal cost of pushing a team to the very limits of performance. He talks about the shock upsets, rivalries and private challenges he faced, as well as the collaborations that underpinned his success: with figures from Dietrich Mateschitz to Bernie Ecclestone, with drivers including Max Verstappen, Sebastian Vettel and Daniel Ricciardo, and most importantly with his wife Geri. Ultimately, Drive is about the vision, the ambition, and the sacrifices required to lead a team to greatness. Packed with gripping stories and unprecedented insights, it gives a whole new perspective on the inner workings of Formula 1.

A wild ride through the destruction of the American government - and the unsung heroes who tried to stop it - by the No. 1 bestselling author of The Big Short. In early 2025, an army of young men invaded the offices of US government. Armed with laptops and sleeping bags, a raft of prejudices and a bulletproof sense of mission instilled in them by their new boss, Elon Musk, the tech bro acolytes of DOGE were on a mission to seek and destroy, by any means necessary. But once inside, they came up against a group of people whose courage, commitment and in some cases lifelong devotion to the nation they served would quickly earn them the wrath of Musk. He called them Blockers. Find the Blockers, Musk told his band of worshipful young men - and eliminate them. Blockers is the story of the unsung heroes at the heart of the most complex and powerful machine ever designed by humankind, who fought back when DOGE, and then even darker forces, wanted to smash it all up. One kept Americans' most sensitive tax data out of the wrong hands, another made sure that politicians and civil servants played by the rules. One figured out how to stop wildfires from destroying suburban neighbourhoods, another delivered the cure to cystic fibrosis. There was also a security guard. This is a thriller about unlikely rebels and power-drunk villains. It is also a cautionary tale that asks, what do we do when the idea of public service becomes worthless? When the things we didn't even realise we were taking for granted suddenly no longer exist. When we don't know what we've got until it's gone.

by Michael B. Barry

€23.99

Catalpa tells the extraordinary true story of one of the most audacious operations in Irish history – the rescue of six Fenian prisoners who were transported to Fremantle Prison, Australia, the farthest edge of the world. It is a tale driven by courage, obsession and improbable alliances. From meticulous planning by the steely minded John Devoy (the greatest of all the Fenians), to the selections of the ship and Yankee captain; the long voyage, first whaling then travelling to western Australia; with the thrilling escape in an open rowboat for 28 hours through surf and storm; the pursuit and the long sail across the oceans – culminating in the triumphant arrival of the prisoners in New York and ultimately freedom in America. Richly researched and vividly told, Michael Barry restores this forgotten epic to the centre of Irish history. It is a story of endurance and ingenuity, of diaspora and rebellion, and of how a handful of determined men fought against despair to achieve the unthinkable and defy an empire.

by Mary McLaughlin

€21.99

The return of the traditional Irish lament Provides context and history for the traditional Irish lament known as the keen, examining its origins, the ritual and its history from paganism through Christianity. Explores keening's shamanic dimensions and mythological connections to the Otherworld, including the world of Faerie while drawing on archaeology and traditional folklore. Looks at the practicalities of keening, considering the wake as a rite of passage, the role and burden of keeners, the structure and music of the keen, and the contemporary rebirth of the practice. Aiding the revival of a powerful rite nearly lost to history, Mary McLaughlin explores the ancient keening lament as a ritualized practice which bears aspects of ancient shamanism while being rooted in the pre-Christian spiritual worldview of Ireland. Mc Laughlin, a singer and teacher, draws on personal experience, interviews, and historical and academic texts to provide a comprehensive and inspiring study of this ancient Irish tradition. She examines the origins of the keen in pre-Celtic Ireland and its mythological connections to the Fairies. She compares its similarities to archetypal lamentation rituals in North America and Asia. The author also explores the keen's transformations over time, including the influence and integration of Christianity, its subsequent suppression, and its rebirth in recent years. The true magic of the keen goes beyond its role in expressing grief. Keening was a practice with a shamanic element where in addition to comforting the bereaved and honoring the deceased, the keeners aided the soul of the departed in making its journey to the Otherworld. Contemporary death doulas and hospice workers bear some similarities to keeners as they work in the same field of ritualizing and processing grief amid trauma and loss. Combining scholarship, storytelling, and embodied wisdom, this book offers an authoritative yet accessible guide to the Irish keen as both an ancient funeral rite and a modern tool that can help you navigate bereavement.

by Dara Molloy

€19.99

The Celtic Way is a revelatory journey into Ireland’s ancient spiritual soul. Written by Dara Molloy – a former Catholic priest turned Celtic monk who has lived on Inis Mór for more than forty years – the book blends memoir, myth and scholarship to illuminate a vibrant spiritual tradition rooted in nature, community and a worldview far broader than the Christianity that later overshadowed it. Molloy explores Ireland’s pre-Christian mythologies, the Brehon Laws and the sacred presence of trees, animals, wells, stones and seasons. He also traces the evolution of an Irish Christianity shaped not by conquest but by storytelling – a non-authoritarian, mystical and nature-centred tradition that produced wandering monks, illuminated manuscripts and a cultural flourishing that helped revitalise Europe. At the heart of the book is the idea that spirituality is not a set of beliefs but a way of perceiving the world. Molloy illustrates this through vivid stories of island life: blessings murmured while planting potatoes, angels lingering at sacred sites, thin places where the veil between the worlds dissolves and rituals such as handfasting, pilgrimage, fasting and celebrating the Celtic calendar.

Beautifully illustrated throughout, Birds of Ireland is an exploration of how these creatures, both mythical and real, have shaped our understanding of the natural world, the divine, and our place within and sometimes, between both.

by Michael Douglas

€17.99

Hollywood icon Michael Douglas tells the unfiltered story of his life in a raw, careersweeping memoir. Initially dismissed as only Hollywood legend Kirk Douglas' handsome son, Douglas stunned Hollywood and the world when he won his first Oscar at just thirty years old for producing the multi-Academy Award winning classic One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest. Once told he would be nothing more than a television actor, he walked of the hit series The Streets of San Francisco to become a global movie star whose films have grossed billions of dollars. Rejected for serious acting roles that he saw go to his Hollywood pals Jack Nicholson and Warren Beatty, he refused to be typecast and won his second Academy Award for his iconic performance as Gordon Gekko in Wall Street. Beginning with Douglas's childhood and complicated relationship with his father, the memoir traces his path to success with news-breaking behind-the-scenes stories of his rise to fame. Yet as Douglas's fame rose, so did his personal struggles, and here for the first time is the full, candid story of the challenges he and his family faced, from affairs with some of the most celebrated actresses in Hollywood, his own serious drug addiction which threaten to destroy his first marriage and career, the heartbreaking battle to save his son from a terrible drug addiction that sent him to federal prison at thirty-one years old, and an against-all-odds battle with stage four cancer. His love affair with Oscar winner Catherine Zeta Jones was initially dismissed as just another Hollywood fling, but they proved the skeptics wrong about their age gap and stayed together through relationship troubles, health issues, tabloid gossip and are still going strong after twentyfive years of marriage. Douglas starred in and produced some of the biggest movies of all time including One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, Romancing the Stone, Fatal Attraction, Wall Street, Basic Instinct, Disclosure, Traffic and Behind the Candelabra, for which he won an Emmy and a Golden Globe for his portrayal of Liberace. His movies have defined cultural moments and sometimes whole decades. Ideal for readers who: Gravitate towards Hollywood memoirs about legacy, fame and reinvention. Expect a candid account of family, career risks and life under public scrutiny. Seek behind-the-scenes stories from decades of acting and producing. Prefer celebrity memoirs that look beyond glamour to ambition, setbacks and resilience.

Unbroken brings together, for the first time, a powerful and intimate portrait of Barghouti’s life and struggle for a free Palestine: private letters to his family, personal writings, correspondence with global public figures, press interviews, public statements and rare personal photographs.

by Paul Smith

€24.99

From leaving school at fifteen with undiagnosed dyslexia to a life-changing accident that would end one dream and begin another, Sir Paul’s journey has been anything but conventional. A meeting on his twenty-first birthday with the woman who became the love of his life and his immersion in the exciting new world of the '60s London art and fashion scene would set him on a path towards building the global fashion empire he has today. After fifty years of continuous trading, Paul still goes to his shopfloor every Saturday to meet customers. In a story filled with his signature wit, warmth and eccentric flair, Paul takes us from the humble beginnings of his first tiny shop in a Nottingham alleyway – tucked behind a dark, damp corridor – to opening his first London shop on Floral Street in the reviving Covent Garden, and then on to his conquest of other countries, including Japan. His memories of dressing rock stars, actors, and athletes give us a unique perspective on fashion, art, music and culture in the last half century, with a cast of characters ranging from David Bowie and Daniel Day Lewis to Giorgio Armani and Sir Alex Ferguson. Threads is the story of a truly unique British icon and of how a young boy from a modest upbringing in Nottingham, guided by his father’s lasting message of hard work and repairing everything by hand, became a symbol of innovation and creativity. And of how, in a world of increasingly globalised homogeneity, he has fought to hold on to the precious independence at the heart of his vision. Ideal for readers who: Value a fashion life shaped by design, colour and creative reinvention. Are curious about memoirs linking personal setbacks with a distinctive brand. Appreciate style books with warmth, eccentric detail and 1960s art-scene energy. Choose stories about staying curious after decades of success.

by Colin Sheridan

€17.99

'I should never have been in any of these places. I should have been an English teacher in North Mayo.' Although he served in the military for a quarter of a century, Colin Sheridan never felt completely comfortable in it. The army was an unnatural environment for a creative thinker who hated to be shouted at, hated doing the shouting and detested loud noises. In spite of all that, Colin's chronic imposter syndrome made him a natural observer – of people, of times and places. The result is a tour de force of Colin's time moving through the frontlines and fault lines of the twenty-first century – from Kosovo to Liberia, Afghanistan to the Middle East. Despite these heavy settings, Colin infuses his writing with passion, vulnerability, humour and a uniquely Irish take on moments of global significance. The Accidental Peacekeeper is a gripping, honest, often darkly funny account of friendship, loyalty, masculinity, fatherhood, and the human reality behind the headlines.
