Triangle is a breathtaking, suspenseful story about a woman determined to stay true to her principles, from billion-copy bestselling author Danielle Steel.

As she approaches the milestone birthday of forty, delicate beauty Amanda Delanoe finds joy in running a chic contemporary art gallery in Paris. With the companionship of her dog, Lulu, and her friend and co-owner of the gallery, fun-loving bachelor Pascal Leblanc, Amanda lives well, but so far the love of her life has eluded her.

Then she meets Olivier Saint Albin, a handsome, enigmatic publisher. At the same time, she reconnects with Tom Quinlan, an old boyfriend from her university days, who has come to Paris to devote himself to writing a thriller. Amanda’s attraction to Olivier is instant, but she soon learns he is married, leaving her torn between her head and her heart.

Amanda’s situation is further complicated by the unpleasant feeling that she’s being watched. When she begins to receive threatening phone calls late at night, and someone breaks into her apartment on the Left Bank, it’s all too clear she is in real danger.

But from whom? An old love, a new love, or a stranger? As love enters her life, so does terror. . .

Caroline Herschel has always lived in the shadows. Beholden to her wildly popular older brother, William, who rescued her from servitude, she's worked hard to build a life for herself – one where she can go unnoticed and repay the debt she believes she owes him. But when her brother becomes obsessed with sweeping the stars, everything changes.

Newly appointed as the King's Astronomer, William is rushed away from the bustling streets of Bath to the quiet countryside of Windsor. When Caroline makes a discovery that could send her right back to the people she was rescued from, she has no choice but to leave her carefully constructed life and follow her brother. Taking up the position as William's assistant, Caroline resolves to learn everything she can about astronomy. But the more she understands, the more she falls in love with her telescope, and soon, she discovers that she might be good at the science, great, even, and that the stars could offer her the freedom she's always secretly wanted. When it’s clear that Caroline is just as much the astronomer as her brother, she realizes she must break free from the life she has lived and find her own place in the night sky.

Based on the true story of Caroline Herschel, The Woman and Her Stars shines a light on a woman who was raised to believe she was worth nothing more than to serve others, but whose genius and resolve made her one of the world’s leading astronomers. An awe-inspiring story set within the societal boundaries of the Georgian era, it’s a hopeful journey of self-discovery, familial bonds, and passion.

Dee is pretty sure she didn't mean to kill him. Laura, to her credit, never asked.

Not until she sends an email, out of the blue, more than twenty years later. It's finally time to mend the biggest heartbreak of that summer; Laura wants her best friend back.

My little sister Ella's there, raising the twins alone. If I'm gone, that means I can't be there for her. I can't help them through this. But you can.

As the spotlight brightens on Lili, and her three sisters Stevie, Iris and Katie, the women's lives are changed in ways they could never have predicted.

And it's soon clear that fame, and fortune, comes with a price...

Perfect for fans of Margo's Got Money Troubles by Rufi Thorpe and Blue Sisters by Coco Mellors, Grace Alexander's sensational, page-turning and provocative book club debut explores the fallout of a jaw-dropping political scandal with deliciously dark humour and a lightness of touch.

The intimate, sweeping tale of one Palestinian man’s restless search for home the world over, as the pendulum of fate swings between loss and life, grief and euphoria, regret and hope.

All his life, exile has been the shadow stitched to the sole of Sufien’s shoe.

Born in Palestine on the precipice of 1948’s Nakba, Sufien is forced to leave the only home he’s ever known, the one on the hill with a beautiful blue door. This is the precise moment when time stops making sense. He spends the rest of his life propelled forward, always on the way—although in search of what, he is never quite sure. In the dusty, oil-rich desert of Kuwait, he meets his first love and decides he must leave his family. In a small Italian university town, he spends his youth wrapped up in the sweet promise of the West and the forgetful assurance of wine. When life takes him to a gritty New York, he discovers his true vocation and falls for a Jewish woman born into a wholly different world. Finally, he finds himself recalled to the wild, vast open skies of the desert, in Arizona.

Sufien’s life spans friendships lost and maintained, a stint selling leathers at a tanner’s stall, the ineffable company of cats, and the freedom of the open road, the glowing pride of fatherhood, Sufi myths, prophetic dreams, and visions of the afterlife—and always, always, no matter how far he chases joy, the sweet, treacherous song of a balcony urging him to fly, to fall, to fall. The lyrical pages of Paradiso 17 weave in and out of time and space, beginning at the end and ending at the beginning. They are haunting, haunted with grief, struck through, as Dante once wrote, with “the arrow that the bow of exile / shoots first,” and yet they throb with light—not just the light that Sufien sees as he approaches his own end, but the brilliant light of a life lived.

Like all of our dead, Sufien still speaks, the book begins. Listen, this is his story.

For Niamh Ryan, the Foleys are family. Her childhood flew by on their farm, playing with her best friend Peter and his sister Kate - all the while being doted on by their mother Helen and coached by their father Liam, a legendary former hurling player.

Now, following a distressing series of events, the family ties are strained. Niamh receives drunken phone calls and messages from Peter who can't understand what derailed their burgeoning relationship three years ago. Meanwhile, Helen Foley is trying her best to escape her life by checking into guesthouses under the names of women she went to school with. In her life in Belfast, Kate is attempting to hold down a job and a relationship while carrying the weight of the family's secrets, and feeling like she is the one to blame.

The stories in Once Removed traverse the theatres, artist studios and archives that characterise the world of contemporary art and performance. But they also zero in on the homes, private lives, daily journeys and emotional interiorities of the various characters that inhabit them. While the stories in Once Removed draw from the undercurrents of the South African art world, their concerns and evocations are not limited to it.

“Once Removed is for readers who are familiar with the worlds of art and performance, and those for whom it is completely foreign. A reader doesn’t need to be immersed in the world of artists, critics, exhibitors, gallerists or academics to access the collection, and to enjoy the imbalances, precarity, hilarity, and possibilities represented in it,” explains Mann.

Part ironic realism, part experimental surrealism, these stories will matter differently, but equally significantly, to those inside and outside the world they evoke and inhabit.

My Side of the Ocean is a novel of great empathy and insight, exploring essential questions about what it means to live, and love, when the secure foundations of a life have been ripped away.

The relationship with siblings can be tenuous to say the least. We so often take for granted that we understand each other, but when we really need each other, do we really know the other? Can we restore bonds broken or frayed by time and distance? Does being a blood relation tie you together? Can we heal from the wounds of the past? Can we accept that we do things differently?

Kay Brown, in her debut novel ‘Treading Water’, has written a strong, very readable, empathetic story exploring all these themes though the eyes of half-sisters Alison and Bridget. Now adults with their own families, the chasm between their lives has widened almost as much as the distance between Bridget’s South Africa and Alison’s Dallas, Texas.

Does Alison really want the help or to settle some of the resentments built up over the intervening years?

Water is the element that is Alison’s safe haven. ‘Timing and focus’ her coach’s mantra, which seem to be an undercurrent of the story. Because everything we do is about timing; and that focus of listening carefully, hearing the meaning. Brown creates the two characters using different tenses which works well. She constructs their formative years to give the reader a strong foundation of the past influencing the present. Exploring the wave of emotions that threaten to engulf the half-sisters, she draws you in, surprises you.
