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 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 Donal Casey

€20.00

Set against the backdrop of Ireland’s transformation over the past fifty years, these reflections explore the interplay between randomness, self-belief and choice. This is not a formula for success. Rather, it is a thoughtful and personal exploration of how lives unfold and how reflection itself may be our most reliable guide. Ideal for readers who: Gravitate towards reflective writing about sport, memory and identity. See games as carrying meaning beyond scores and trophies. Care about Irish sporting culture and the emotions around it. Savour quieter sports books with nostalgia, reflection and feeling.

by Robert O'Byrne

€25.95

Since 2012, Robert O’Byrne’s Irish Aesthete has shed fresh light on Ireland’s architectural inheritance. In this new volume, Buildings of Ireland: Known and Unknown, he turns his discerning eye to a remarkable selection of sites in the care of the Office of Public Works. From celebrated landmarks like Castletown House and the Rock of Cashel to lesser-known ruins tucked down quiet boreens, these pages uncover a country layered with memory: grand houses and fragile abbeys, castles and gardens, round towers and forgotten churches. Some are familiar, many are not – but all are open to be seen, and to be understood anew. With text and sumptuous photographs by O’Byrne, this book offers more than a guide: it is an invitation to travel, to look closely, and to discover the stories held in stone across Ireland. ‘In putting together the present book, making a selection was perhaps the greatest challenge … my wish is to offer a mixture of the familiar and the unfamiliar. This is a personal selection: someone else compiling the book might have made different choices. But it is intended to act as an introduction and a guide to the rich diversity of Ireland’s architectural heritage, a gazetteer that encourages readers to set out on their own voyages of discovery'. Ideal for readers who: Are drawn to beautifully produced Irish heritage books focused on architecture, travel and cultural discovery. Plan to explore famous landmark houses, OPW heritage sites and hidden countryside ruins. Follow evocative photography and local history through stories deeply rooted in place and memory.

Three years after meeting, Jason and Molly married and settled in North Carolina. Four years later, Jason was beaten to death in their marital bedroom. Molly and her father, Tom, a former FBI agent, admitted to killing Jason but claimed self-defence.

This is the story of how a wealthy and well-connected American family framed the victim as the aggressor in a horrific killing, blackened his name and served minimal jail time. Journalist Brian Carroll reported on the Martens' court hearings for the Irish Times and is a co-producer of the Netflix documentary A Deadly American Marriage. He has thoroughly investigated the case, including conducting fresh reporting in North Carolina, to write the definitive account of a shattering story. --- 'Goes into the case in far more detail in a much more illuminating way' Matt Cooper, Today FM 'Read this and you'll get quite the education' Elaine Crowley, Ireland AM Ideal for readers who: Read true crime where family, obsession and loss collide.

by David Goldblatt

€10.99

A Telegraph Best Book of 2025. A News Statesman Book of the Year 2025.' David Goldblatt is possibly the best football historian there has ever been'. Dominic Sandbrook'David Goldblatt is the greatest British sportswriter of the 21st century … Injury Time is an absolute classic.' James Montague, author of The Billionaires Club and EngulfedFootball, history and the state of the nation - and why it matters. Injury Time is a sharp and thought provoking look at contemporary British society through the lens of football; a society shaken by more than a decade of economic, political and social upheaval, whose causes and consequences have proved hard to grasp. Set against the backdrop of Brexit, Covid and today's 'polycrisis' - spanning economic decline, war in Europe, political unrest and climate change - this book argues that football provides an unmatched vantage point for understanding the nation's state of affairs. From grassroots clubs battling for survival to the rise and fall of Russian oligarchs in the sport, the game's tragedies and triumphs echo the larger shifts shaping Britain. With striking examples such as Marcus Rashford's anti-hunger campaign and the uproar surrounding Gary Lineker's tweets, Injury Time underscores football's central role in public conversation. Football, Goldblatt contends, is the ultimate societal bellwether - a reflection of Britain's virtues and flaws alike. Ideal for readers who: See modern Britain more clearly through football, community and crisis. Are interested in how clubs and supporters reflect Brexit, Covid and political unrest. Connect with sharp sports writing that blends culture, politics and national diagnosis. Choose books that show why football still reveals so much about society.

Top of the Morgen! charts the adventures of Laurence Falconer, a craic-loving Dubliner, as he tries to get to grips with a new life in Germany. In his hilarious, heart-warming and self-deprecating style, Laurence explores and celebrates the similarities between the Irish and the Germans (smashing pints) and some of the vast cultural differences (pretty much everything else). From attempts at raucous busking in a quaint and quiet German village to the conversational pitfalls that come about when ‘grand’ is your answer to most questions, Laurence hilariously details the blunders and escapades that thrive in the bewildering cultural gap between the Irish and the Germans.

by Anthony Scaramucci

€19.99

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 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.

Do you remember when the internet felt like a shared playground? When strangers around the world connected over the colour of a dress? The Last Good Day on the Internet sees former foreign correspondent and tech entrepreneur Mark Little take us back to a time when the web was a place of community, curiosity and potential. Until it wasn't. Having spent nearly two decades at the heart of the digital revolution -- leaving RTÉ to found two successful start-ups, Storyful and Kinzen, and working for Twitter and Spotify -- Little is one of the few who has witnessed the internet's transformation from the inside. Here, he offers an unflinching insider account of the web's rise, charting its most powerful innovations and its most damaging failures. He traces the explosive growth of the attention economy -- fuelled by Silicon Valley's relentless pursuit of scale and profit -- and exposes the harm this has wrought: toxic algorithms, and the spread of hate and misinformation, before turning to the accelerating impact of AI on our lives. Then he asks a question: what if we could take the internet back? From reclaiming control of our feeds to rediscovering authentic online communities, The Last Good Day on the Internet explores both the promise and the risks of superhuman technology -- and how we might reclaim our agency to build a more hopeful and empowering digital future. 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 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. Lean towards Irish cultural history with drama, research and emotional depth.

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.

by Malcolm Gladwell

€17.99

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 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 Tony Gaynor

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 Ryan Caldwell

€16.99

From the roar of packed stadiums to the silence of a prison cell, White Lines is the blazing true story of Ryan Caldwell - former Ulster, Ireland and Premiership rugby player - whose fall from grace nearly cost him everything. Once hailed as a towering enforcer on the pitch, Ryan's life spiralled after injury ended his career. Addiction, rage and despair took hold, culminating in a moment of devastating reckoning. But from the brink of death, he chose to fight - not for glory, but for survival. What follows is a raw, unforgettable journey: through the depths of trauma, into the heart of the Amazon jungle, and across the rugged terrain of healing. With the help of shamanic wisdom, plant medicine and radical self-reflection, Ryan confronts the pain he buried beneath his rugby persona and begins to rebuild. Co-written with journalist Peter Lockhart, White Lines is more than a sports memoir - it's a lit tale of redemption, resilience and the courage to rewrite your story. Gritty, honest, fiercely human, this is a book for anyone who's ever stood at the edge and wondered if there was a way back. Ideal for readers who: Choose sports memoirs that confront the cost of life after elite competition. Care about a raw account of injury, addiction, prison and recovery.

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.

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 Michael Douglas

€18.99

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.

by Marwan Barghouti

€19.99

For more than two decades, Marwan Barghouti has been held in an Israeli prison cell, much of that time in total isolation. Yet his voice has never been forgotten. Described by the Economist as ‘the world’s most important prisoner’ and often referred to as Palestine’s Mandela, Barghouti remains the most widely supported Palestinian political leader. As a long-standing advocate of peace grounded in justice and equality, he has become an enduring symbol of unity and hope – even from behind bars. 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. This is his story, in his own words. Unsilenced, unbroken. Ideal for readers who: Approach political nonfiction built from letters, testimony and a life lived under confinement. Follow Palestinian politics, imprisonment and the struggle for justice. Look for portraits that combine private life, public leadership and historical context. Reflect on peace, resistance and moral endurance through one enduring figure.

by Joe Duffy

€23.99

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 Gary Murphy

€22.99

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 Paul Smith

€27.99

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.

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.
