Harbor by Lorraine Adams
'Brilliant... a strong and disturbing thriller' Annie Proulx

I, Wabenzi: a souvenir by Rafi Zabor
'Warning: there are spoon benders, Sufi metaphysics, whirling dervishes, and one moment of arguably freaky transcendence...

The Outgoing Man by Glen Neath (Paperback)
'An unusual and original novel... enjoyably silly' Guardian

Half Gone by Jeremy Leggett (Paperback)
'Half Gone makes for startling reading.

This is a compelling must-read book for politicians, pundits and punters alike.' Independent

We Are Iran by Nasrin Alavi (Paperback)

This Time Of Dying by Reina James
A page-turning and assured debut from a writer who handles history with the confidence and colour of Rose Tremain, and portrays slow-kindling romance with the delicious restraint of Kazuo Ishiguro.

Timothy's Book by Verlyn Klinkenborg
The world of men and beasts observed from beneath a shell - as seen by Timothy, a wise, severe and unforgettable old tortoise.

A Fairy Find by Andrew Lanyon
At last, the proof that fairies do exist - and that we are merely their playthings.

Portrait With Keys: The city of Johannesburg unlocked by Ivan Vladislavić
