Praiseworthy is an epic set in the north of Australia, told with
the richness of language and scale of imagery for which Alexis
Wright has become renowned. In a small Aboriginal town dominated by
a haze cloud, which heralds both an ecological catastrophe and a
gathering of the ancestors, a crazed visionary seeks out a solution
to the global climate crisis and the economic dependency of the
Aboriginal people. His wife seeks solace from his madness in
following the dance of butterflies and scouring the internet to
find out how she can seek repatriation for her Aboriginal and
Chinese family to China. One of their sons, called Aboriginal
Sovereignty, is determined to commit suicide. The other, Tommyhawk,
wishes his brother dead so that he can pursue his dream of becoming
white and powerful. This is a novel which pushes allegory and
language to its limits, a cry of outrage against oppression and
disadvantage, and both a sharp satire and a thoughtful fable for
the end of days.

The powerful and moving memoir of a fearless political opposition
leader who paid the ultimate price for his beliefs.
Alexei Navalny began writing PATRIOT shortly after his near-fatal
poisoning in 2020. It is the full story of his life: his youth, his
call to activism, his marriage and family, his commitment to
challenging a world super-power determined to silence him, and his
total conviction that change cannot be resisted – and will come.
In vivid, page-turning detail, including never-before-seen
correspondence from prison, Navalny recounts, among other things, his
political career, the many attempts on his life, and the lives of the
people closest to him, and the relentless campaign he and his team
waged against an increasingly dictatorial regime.
Written with the passion, wit, candour and bravery for which he was
justly acclaimed, PATRIOT is Navalny’s final letter to the world: a
moving account of his last years spent in the most brutal prison on
earth; a reminder of why the principles of individual freedom matter so
deeply; and a rousing call to continue the work for which he sacrificed
his life.

of Mortal Follies - a laugh-out-loud Regency romantasy from TikTok
titan Alexis Hall, the bestselling and Lambda Award-nominated
author of Boyfriend Material.

Romantic comedy starring Kristen Bell, Josh Duhamel and Danny
DeVito. Beth Harper (Bell) is a young, career-driven New Yorker who
has hitherto been very unlucky in love. While on a whirlwind trip
to Rome for her sister's wedding, she is attracted to the best man,
Nick (Duhamel), but is dismayed to see him with another woman and
turns to drink to drown her disappointment. In her drunken state
she delves for coins in the famed 'Fontana de Amore', and is amazed
on her return to New York to find herself being pursued by not one
but five love-crazed men - including the delectable Nick. But is he
really in love with her, or simply under the fountain's spell?
Liyah, a young Congolese woman, living in Johannesburg, takes on the responsibility of supporting her mother and siblings after the passing of her father.
Frustrated from struggling and working minimum wage jobs, Liyah takes a chance and responds to an online advertisement for a surrogate. Rick, a wealthy American, who is known for his impulsive and carefree playboy behaviour, faces losing his inheritance and his family business if he does not produce an heir. Liyah and Rick are the complete opposite of one another, indomitable forces that collide with each other, yet they are about to change each other’s lives.
Dappling in lust, love and lies; Traded is a gamble of the unexpected, a dangerous crossing of boundaries and infinite treachery. Not everyone makes it out alive.
