Longlisted for the Booker Prize The Sunday Times Bestseller Trust
by Hernan Diaz is a sweeping, unpredicatable novel about power,
wealth and truth, told by four unique, interlocking voices and set
against the backdrop of turbulent 1920s New York. Perfect for fans
of Succession. Can one person change the course of history? A Wall
Street tycoon takes a young woman as his wife. Together they rise
to the top in an age of excess and speculation. But now a novelist
is threatening to reveal the secrets behind their marriage, and
this wealthy man's story - of greed, love and betrayal - is about
to slip from his grasp. Composed of four competing versions of this
deliciously deceptive tale, Trust brings us on a quest for truth
while confronting the lies that often live buried in the human
heart. 'One of the great puzzle-box novels, it's the cleverest of
conceits, wrapped up in a page-turner' - Telegraph 'Genius' -
Lauren Groff, author of Matrix
THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER AND NATIONAL BOOK AWARD FINALIST 'A
dazzling epic of love, war and the joy of books' Guardian 'There is
magic in this place ... You just have to sit and breathe and wait
and it will find you' Fifteenth-century Constantinople. Present day
Idaho. The future, and humanity's last hope. Across time and space,
five young dreamers are bound by a single ancient text. Together,
they tell a story of a world in peril; of the power of words, of
resilience, and of hope against all odds. The Pulitzer
Prize-winning author of All the Light We Cannot See returns with a
heart-breaking, magnificent epic of human connection and a love
letter to storytelling itself. 'Wonderment and despair, love and
destruction and hope - all find their place in its sumptuously
plotted pages' Observer 'Ingenious, hopeful and totally absorbing'
Financial Times 'This engagingly written, big-hearted book is a
must-read' Daily Mirror
A surreal excursion into heartache and horror narrated by a man
undone by grief . . . Along with allusions to Rod Serling and The
Exorcist, there are shades of H. P. Lovecraft, Stephen King, zombie
literature and, at least once, A Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy .
. . You don't want to read this book right before bed. --Sarah
Lyall, The New York Times Book Review "This intense cosmic horror
with a touch of Mexican American folklore is incredibly creepy and
moving." --Margaret Kingsbury, BuzzFeed It was Vera's idea to buy
the Itza. The "world's most advanced smart speaker!" didn't
interest Thiago, but Vera thought it would be a bit of fun for them
amidst all the strange occurrences happening in the condo. It made
things worse. The cold spots and scratching in the walls were weird
enough, but peculiar packages started showing up at the house--who
ordered industrial lye? Then there was the eerie music at odd
hours, Thiago waking up to Itza projecting light shows in an empty
room. It was funny and strange right up until Vera was killed, and
Thiago's world became unbearable. Pundits and politicians all
looking to turn his wife's death into a symbol for their own
agendas. A barrage of texts from her well-meaning friends about
letting go and moving on. Waking to the sound of Itza talking
softly to someone in the living room . . . The only thing left to
do was get far away from Chicago. Away from everything and
everyone. A secluded cabin in Colorado seemed like the perfect
place to hole up with his crushing grief. But soon Thiago realizes
there is no escape--not from his guilt, not from his simmering
rage, and not from the evil hunting him, feeding on his grief,
determined to make its way into this world. A bold, original horror
novel about grief, loneliness and the oppressive intimacy of
technology, This Thing Between Us marks the arrival of a
spectacular new talent.

IN WHITE... Danica and Kaylie Snow are about to celebrate the
biggest day of their lives--their double wedding--on an island in
the Bahamas. But no wedding is complete without a little family
drama. The two sisters aren't ready to face the father they haven't
seen since he divorced their mother and moved away to marry his
mistress, and live with Lacy, the half sister they've never met.
While Danica has exchanged letters and phone calls with Lacy,
Kaylie has fervently tried to pretend she doesn't exist. Lacy is
sweet, fun, and nearly a mirror image of Kaylie. To make matters
worse, not only is Lacy looking forward to meeting her sisters, but
she idolizes them, too. As the countdown to the wedding date ticks
on, their parents are playing a devious game of revenge, and
there's a storm brewing over the island, threatening to cancel
their perfect wedding. The sisters are about to find out if the
bond of sisterhood really trumps all. SISTERS IN WHITE is part of
the Love in Bloom series. While SISTERS IN WHITE can be read as a
