Summary:

Brought to you by Penguin.

I said it before. Madness comes circling around. Ten-year cycles, as true as the sun will rise

Some things can send a heart spinning; others will crack it in two.

In a small town in rural Ireland, the local people have weathered the storms of economic collapse and are looking towards the future. The jobs are back, the dramas of the past seemingly lulled, and although the town bears the marks of its history, new stories are unfolding.

But a fresh menace is creeping around the lakeshore and the lanes of the town, and the peace of the community is about to be shattered in an unimaginable way. Young people are being drawn towards the promise of fast money whilst the generation above them tries to push back the tide of an enemy no one can touch

A stunning, lyrical novel told in twenty-one voices, Heart, be at Peace can be read independently, or as a companion to Donal Ryans multi-award-winning novel, The Spinning Heart, voted The Irish Book of the Decade.

Winner of Book of the Year at the Irish Book Awards 2012

In the aftermath of Ireland's financial collapse, dangerous tensions surface in an Irish town. As violence flares, the characters face a battle between public persona and inner desires. Through a chorus of unique voices, each struggling to tell their own kind of truth, a single authentic tale unfolds.

The Spinning Heart speaks for contemporary Ireland like no other novel. Wry, vulnerable, all-too human, it captures the language and spirit of rural Ireland and with uncanny perception articulates the words and thoughts of a generation. Technically daring and evocative of Patrick McCabe and J.M. Synge, this novel of small-town life is witty, dark and sweetly poignant.

Title: Wife

Author: Charlotte Mendelson

Length: 10:26:10

Language: English

Release date: 08-08-24

Publisher: Pan Macmillan

Genres: Fiction & Literature, Literary Fiction, LGBTQ+

Summary:

'Mendelson is a master of the literary monster' – The Sunday Times

When Zoe moves in with Penny, their relationship looks perfect; after all, everyone wants a wife. But this is the story of how love can become a disaster . . .

Zoe Stamper, junior researcher in Ancient Greek Tragedy, meets fellow academic Dr Penny Cartwright at a faculty flute recital. Dr Cartwright seems impossibly glamorous to Zoe, who is, after all, several rungs down the academic pecking order - and a nervous ingénue as far as Penny’s sophisticated circle is concerned. But Penny leaves Zoe a cryptic note, and a passionate affair ensues.

Once Penny confesses all to her live-in lover, Justine, their happiness seems assured. But there is something else Penny needs as badly in her life as Zoe’s adoration, and thus the beginning of their affair might also have signalled its end . . .

Wife by Charlotte Mendelson is a beautifully observed and coruscating novel about the joys of passionate love and motherhood, and those left behind in its wake when passion curdles. It is heartbreaking and funny, profound and gripping, as it takes the reader from the end of a relationship to its beginning, and back again.

Title: Manboobs: A very queer memoir

Author: Komail Aijazuddin

Narrator: Komail Aijazuddin

Format: Unabridged

Language: English

Release date: 08-08-24

Publisher: PGRH UK

Genres: Biography & Memoir, Arts & Entertainment, General

Summary:

Brought to you by Penguin.

The hilarious and piercing memoir about growing up gay in a not-so-gay world.

Im just a man, standing in front of a salad, asking it to be a cake.

What do you do when youre too gay for Pakistan, too Pakistani to be gay in America and youre ashamed of your body everywhere?

How can you find happiness despite years of humiliation, fear and a legion of Brooklyn hipsters who know you only as a queer from Whereveristan?

How do you summon the courage to be yourself no matter where you are?

Even as a young child in Lahore, Komail Aijazuddin knew he was different. Other boys didnt pirouette off their desks, get bullied for their manboobs or spontaneously burst into songs from The Little Mermaid. Other boys didnt play together like that.

Starved of a crucial part of himself, he ate. And ate. Before long, his own body became another burden to carry everywhere and to hide. Komail began to believe his only chance at a happy, meaningful life would be found elsewhere: in America, land of the free, home of the gays. But he would soon learn that finding happiness takes a lot more than a plane ticket.

This is Aijazuddins riotous, intelligent memoir of searching for his place between two worlds while navigating a minefield of expectations, prejudice and self-doubt. In Manboobs, Aijazuddin confidently announces himself as a sharp new voice in humour with his moving, wickedly funny search for love and the bravery required to be yourself.

An important story, told with a sharp wit and disarming humour MOHSIN ZAIDI

Vastly entertaining and wickedly funny GREG MARSHALL
