Are you looking for your next historical read - but want something extra special? Then make your next novel Beatrice Hitchman's exquisite All Of You Every Single One, which follows the lives of Julia, Eve and Rolf as they navigate queer relationships and build their own family in a world where everything seems to be falling apart...

The beautiful cover features a poster by Koloman Moser, used at the opening of the Wiener Werkstätte showroom, 1904-5.

'You'll learn to be too much, too. I think it might help.'

When Julia flees her unhappy marriage for the handsome tailor Eve Perret, she expects her life from now on will be a challenge, not least because the year is 1911. They leave everything behind to settle in Vienna, but their happiness is increasingly diminished by Julia's longing for a child.

Ada Bauer's wealthy industrialist family have sent her to Dr Freud in the hope that he can fix her mutism and do so without a scandal. But help will soon come for Ada from an unexpected quarter and change many lives irrevocably.

All of You Every Single One is an epic novel about family, freedom and how true love might survive impossible odds.

Out on August 5th in this beautiful hardback.

'Behind my back people whispered, dua ho mmire: a mushroom that grows on the tree has no deep soil.'

LOSE YOUR MOTHER is Saidiya Hartman's powerful, unforgettable story of her journey along the Atlantic slave route, published today in the UK for the first time. If you loved Wayward Lives, Beautiful Experiments, you'll love this, and if you are new to Saidiya Hartman, you're in for such a treat.

The slave, Saidiya Hartman observes, is a stranger torn from family, home, and country. To lose your mother is to be severed from your kin, to forget your past, and to inhabit the world as an outsider. In Lose Your Mother, Hartman traces the history of the Atlantic slave trade by recounting a journey she took along a slave route in Ghana.

There are no known survivors of Hartman's lineage, no relatives to find. She is a stranger in search of strangers, and this fact leads her into intimate engagements with the people she encounters along the way, and with figures from the past, vividly dramatising the effects of slavery on three centuries of African and American history.

Get your paperback copy today.

$‘Like a song that feels written just for you, Larissa Pham’s debut work of nonfiction captures the imagination and refuses to let go’ Attention lovers of art, the body, feminism, intimacy and more: the beautiful, piercingly honest memoir-in-essays Pop Song by Larissa Pham is out in the UK today! This brilliant work of debut nonfiction explores the state of falling in love, whether with a painting or a person, as Pham creates a perfectly fractured portrait of modern intimacy, triumphant in its vulnerability and restlessness. Pop Song is a book about distances: the miles we travel to get away from ourselves, or those who hurt us, and the impossible gaps that can exist between two people sharing a bed. Here is a map to all the routes by which we might escape our own needs before finally finding a way home. Out today! #PopSong #LarissaPham #memoirinessays #essaycollection #artwriting #bookstagram$

The incredible SEA CHANGE is out on Thursday! And it's @bookabookshop's Book of the Month 🤩

If you loved The Mermaid and Mrs Hancock, The Binding or The Essex Serpent, this one's for you...

‘I’ll be back soon, my love. Tonight, I hope.’

The last Eve saw of her mother was a wave from the basket of a rising balloon. A wilful, lonely orphan in the house of her erratic artist guardian, Eve struggles to retain the image of her missing mother and the father she never knew. In a London beset by pageantry, incipient riot and the fear of Napoleonic invasion, Eve must grow into a young woman with no one to guide her through its perils.

Far away, in a Norfolk fishing village, the Rev Snead preaches hellfire and damnation to his impoverished parishioners and oppressed wife. Snead illustrates his sermons with the example of a mute woman pulled from the sea, over whom he keeps a very close watch indeed...
