Hungry is the powerful new memoir from Number One bestselling author Katriona O'Sullivan - a raw, courageous exploration of survival, identity and the lifelong search for self-acceptance.

In 2019, teenager Zac Brettler mysteriously fell to his death from a luxury apartment balcony into the Thames. As his grieving parents began to investigate his final days, they were shocked to learn that he’d been leading a double life, in which he was posing as the son of a wealthy Russian oligarch. This unsolved case is at the heart of London Falling – at once a family tragedy, a psychological portrait of a young fabulist, and an indictment of the greed for extreme wealth that has transformed one of the world’s great cities: London. Hiding in the shadows of its great architecture and imperial history are the malignant, mercenary forces that have come to influence us all – whether we realise it or not. In his inimitably gripping and forensic style, Baillie Gifford winner and New Yorker staff writer Patrick Radden Keefe explores what brought Zac Brettler (the grandson of famous rabbi Hugo Gryn) to the balcony that night – and how he became involved with some of London’s most notorious gangsters. Following Zac’s parents on a dark journey of investigation, London Falling unearths the unsettling truths they discovered – both about the sinister underworld on their doorstep, and about their son’s secret world.

The child of a working-class family from a small town in a war-torn homeland now commutes to work in his own private jet and counts billionaires as confidants.

And then, one day, Artie learns that life has been keeping a secret from him, one that threatens to upend his entire world. Once he learns it, he is forced to chart a new course, to reconsider the relationships he holds most dear—and to make peace with the mysteries at the heart of our existence.

When the gates of the last Magdalene Laundry closed in 1996, Ireland moved on. Or so it seemed. 'Compelling, measured and deeply felt' ANNE ENRIGHT 'A terrific yet harrowing unearthing of Ireland's shadowland. A landmark book' RORY CARROLL Following independence in 1922, Ireland began to chase a dream: to become the perfect Catholic nation. But purity had a price. Throughout the twentieth century, thousands of women and girls who did not conform - the wayward, the poor, the disabled, the abused - were sent to the Magdalene Laundries. Each was perceived to have fallen in some way. Once locked inside, their hair was shorn off, their names were erased - and then they were put to work. They washed, they scrubbed and they prayed, labouring in an attempt to salvage their souls. This remains one of the darkest and most misunderstood periods of recent history. Published to coincide with the thirtieth anniversary of the last Laundry's closure, The Fallen is the forgotten story of the Magdalene Laundries, told through the voices of the women who endured them, the nuns who presided over them and the communities that lived alongside them. Unflinching and compassionate, Louise Brangan draws on archives and survivors' testimonies to dismantle long-held myths about what the Laundries were, who was sent to these places of violence and secrecy, and why. As we move from the past into the present, Brangan compels us not only to confront this shameful history, but to ask a deeper question: what do we choose to remember? 'Critical, informed and beautifully written' MÁIRÉAD ENRIGHT 'Breaking silence is a catalyst for change' CAELAINN HOGAN Winner of the 2024 Royal Society of Literature Giles St Aubyn Award Ideal for readers who: Feel ready for Magdalene Laundry history told through testimony, archives and care. Come for myths and silences challenged without reducing survivors to symbols. Seek Irish institutional history that keeps lived experience at the centre. Can sit with a difficult account of shame, memory and accountability.

From the globally bestselling author of Close to Death comes an unputdownable new mystery in the Hawthorne and Horowitz series. 'Easily the greatest of our crime writers' Sunday Times 'Nobody does this crime fiction better than Anthony Horowitz' Crime Time FM 'Anthony Horowitz is a national treasure' Ragnar Jónasson The Word is Murder, the first book in the Hawthorne series, is being made into a major feature film. The actors have been cast, the script written, and filming has already started in Hastings. But when Hawthorne and Anthony visit the set, they find a far from happy family. The director's pretentious, the screenwriter's an eco-warrior, the two stars hate each other, and the producer has run out of money. And things are about to get much, much worse. In the middle of shooting, the actor playing Hawthorne is stabbed - which leaves the real Hawthorne with no choice. He has to step in and investigate his own murder. Because the killer may not have got the right man. Was it Hawthorne himself who was meant to be the target? A Deadly Episode is a wild ride through a world that the author knows only too well, and the most personal case Hawthorne has had to deal with so far. Readers cannot get enough of A Deadly Episode... 'The perfect whodunnit' ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 'A very entertaining instalment to this fabulous series' ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 'A pacy and entertaining mystery that I loved from start to finish' ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 'A roller coaster of red herrings' ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 'Full of humour, twists and red herrings'⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 'Exceedingly brilliant'⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Ideal for readers who: Follow Hawthorne and Horowitz cases that play fairly with the puzzle. Respond to meta-crime settings where film-set jokes still serve the mystery. Expect series familiarity with a fresh murder that is easy to enter. Trust clever whodunits that balance misdirection, humour and satisfying reveals.

And as Beth looks at the man she loves on trial for murder, she can't help thinking they were right. Beth was seventeen when she first met Gabriel. Over that heady, intense summer, he made her think and feel and see differently. She thought it was the start of her great love story. When Gabriel left to become the person his mother expected him to be, she was broken. It was Frank who picked up the pieces and together they built a home very different from the one she'd imagined with Gabriel. Watching her husband and son, she remembered feeling so sure that, after everything, this was the life she was supposed to be leading. But when Gabriel comes back, all Beth's certainty about who she is and what she wants crumbles. Even after ten years, their connection is instant. She knows it's wrong and she knows people could get hurt. But how can she resist a second chance at first love?

by Lena Dunham

€15.99

In this rowdy, frank reflection on illness, fame, sex, and everything in between, the remarkable mind behind the hit series Girls and the bestselling author of Not That Kind of Girl asks whether fulfilling her creative ambitions has been worth the pain. For the last decade, as she's spent countless hours in doctor's waiting rooms searching for diagnoses, treatments, and relief, being the owner and operator of Lena Dunham's body has felt, as she puts it, 'like towing a wrecked car across town at midnight.' It's not easy dragging a wrecked car anywhere, much less to the Met Gala while sewn into a gold lamé corset. Or to the set of the hit show that you - as a twenty-five-year-old - are writing, directing, producing, and starring in. Or to the White House, the Golden Globes, or your publicist's office to discuss the latest internet disaster. But Dunham does it - even if it means interminable hospital stays, vomiting in the bathroom when she's meant to be meeting Oprah, or terrifying those closest to her - because she can no longer tell the difference between fighting to do what she loves and being a servant to her own ambition. All the while, she is holding out for a love that can withstand her personal and public challenges and, more than anything, yearning to feel like herself again - if only she could remember who that self was. As Dunham takes us through her journey, tracking her rise to fame - from selling the pilot of Girls to the present - in three acts, it becomes clear that the spotlight casts long shadows, distorting the relationships she once held dear and isolating everyone in its glare. When an endless supply of drugs can't protect you from pain - and begins to control your every move - being famous doesn't stand a chance against the darker corners of the human experience. In Famesick, Dunham asks herself what the cost of fulfilling her dreams has really been, and whether it was worth it. What she finds is deeper than physical relief, and more lasting, as she learns to live with what she can't change and turn her regrets into wisdom that can carry her forward, as she reconnects to what, and who, she loves. Ideal for readers who… want a brutally honest, darkly funny memoir about chronic illness, ambition, and life in the spotlight are fascinated by the behind-the-scenes realities of modern fame, public scrutiny, and internet fallout enjoy celebrity memoirs with real vulnerability, sharp humour, and emotional candour are interested in creativity under pressure—writing, directing, producing, and performing while unwell want a story about reckoning, repair, and learning to live with what can’t be changed

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. More praise: ‘This is quite something - a really brave, honest and heart-rending memoir’ — Sarah Jessica Parker ‘A page-turning memoir that will move you to live more’ — Gina Martin

Her fate was in their hands. Now their future is in hers. Kit's summer job at the Abbaye de Saint Maurice was supposed to be a clean slate - until she fell in with 'the Olympians', a clique of wealthy young academics staying nearby. Kit, desperate to fit in, was drawn to them like a moth to a flame. Then came the incident. One night. One choice. One secret too dark to name. Kit fled, and for ten years, she stayed gone. When an invitation arrives, summoning her back to the Abbaye, Kit returns - not for redemption, but for a reckoning. A former lover is writing a book that threatens to crack open the past, and the Olympians want Kit to silence him. Again. Will Kit be able to betray the man she once loved for the good of the rest?

Undoubtedly, the so-called 'mad monk' Rasputin bewitched Tsar Nicholas II and his wife, Alexandra. Yet their strange and scandalous relationship conceals a riddle, one that casts an intriguing light on the controversial 'great man' theory of history. Rasputin was a devoted monarchist, not a revolutionary. He had no official position, no forces at his command. Nevertheless, he contributed more to the fall of the Romanov dynasty than any other individual. So demoralised was the Tsarist officer corps by stories of corruption, to say nothing of the rumours of his debauchery with the Empress - and even her daughters - that when the February Revolution broke out, not a sword was raised in defence of the regime. Just as Rasputin cast a spell over the Romanovs, his legend has bewitched historians. More than a century later, we still fail to comprehend fully the collapse of the greatest autocracy on Earth. Was there any truth to the wild tales that brought down the empire? Or was his true legacy an unsettling lesson on the potency of myth?

Ideal for readers who: Read memoirs that balance dark material with sharp, surprising humour. Are interested in child stardom, family control and the cost of performance. Want eating disorders, addiction and recovery explored with brutal honesty. Prefer memoir writing that is candid, funny and emotionally fearless. #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER #1 INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER MORE THAN 3.5 MILLION COPIES SOLD! A heartbreaking and hilarious memoir by iCarly and Sam & Cat star Jennette McCurdy about her struggles as a former child actor—including eating disorders, addiction, and a complicated relationship with her overbearing mother—and how she retook control of her life. Jennette McCurdy was six years old when she had her first acting audition. Her mother's dream was for her only daughter to become a star, whatever it took, and Jennette would do anything to make her mother happy. So she went along with what her mother called “calorie restriction”, weighing herself five times a day and ultimately shrinking down to 89 pounds. She endured extensive at-home makeovers using knockoff whitening strips, hot curlers, eyelash tint, and gobs of bleach to enhance her “natural beauty”. She was showered by her mother until age sixteen while sharing her diaries, an email account, and all her earnings. The dream finally comes true when Jennette is cast in a new Nickelodeon series called iCarly and is thrust into fame. But for Jennette, the dream is a nightmare. Practically overnight, her fake smile and cheesy airbrushed hairdo are plastered on billboards across the country. And though her mom is ecstatic, ordering her to smile for the paparazzi (with whom she's on a first-name basis) and sign endless autographs for fans who only know her by her character's name, Jennette is riddled with anxiety, shame and self-loathing, which manifest into eating disorders, addiction and a series of unhealthy relationships. These issues only get worse when Jennette's mother dies of cancer. Finally, after discovering therapy and coldly examining the relationship with her mother, Jennette embarks on recovery and decides for the first time in her life what she really wants. Told with raw honesty and equal parts gravity and humour, I'm Glad My Mom Died is a shocking, devastating, and ultimately inspiring story of resilience.
