Went to London, Took the Dog
From the beloved writer Nina Stibbe, author of Love, Nina, a warm and funny story of a woman changing her life at sixty. 'A unique comic voice, endlessly funny' – David Nicholls, author of One Day 'Painfully funny, but also deeply moving' – Meg Mason, author of Sorrow and Bliss What does it mean to start again at sixty? In Went to London, Took the Dog, Nina Stibbe is surprised to find herself asking this question as she leaves married life behind in Cornwall and heads back to London after twenty years away for what she calls ‘a year-long sabbatical’. She takes up lodgings at the house of writer Deborah Moggach, unprepared for how she, and the city, has changed and now wondering whether freedom is all it’s cracked up to be . . . Follow the diary of a sixty-year-old runaway as she becomes, as she puts it, ‘a proper adult’ at last. As heard on BBC Radio 4's Woman's Hour 'The true heir to Sue Townsend' – Caitlin Moran 'An utter, UTTER treat! It was like spending time with my most clever, insightful, funny, FUNNY friend' – Marian Keyes 'Vulnerable, sharp, funny, wise' – Bonnie Garmus, author of Lessons in Chemistry 'No one writes heartbreak more hilariously, or hilarity more heartbreakingly' – Katherine Heiny 'So sharp and funny, blissfully gossipy, enviably well-observed . . . I loved it' – India Knight

Drive Your Plow Over the Bones of the Dead
WINNER OF THE NOBEL PRIZE IN LITERATURE New York Times Readers Pick: 100 Best Books of the 21st Century "A brilliant literary murder mystery." —Chicago Tribune "Extraordinary. Tokarczuk's novel is funny, vivid, dangerous, and disturbing, and it raises some fierce questions about human behavior. My sincere admiration for her brilliant work." —Annie Proulx In a remote Polish village, Janina devotes the dark winter days to studying astrology, translating the poetry of William Blake, and taking care of the summer homes of wealthy Warsaw residents. Her reputation as a crank and a recluse is amplified by her not-so-secret preference for the company of animals over humans. Then a neighbor, Big Foot, turns up dead. Soon other bodies are discovered, in increasingly strange circumstances. As suspicions mount, Janina inserts herself into the investigation, certain that she knows whodunit. If only anyone would pay her mind . . . A deeply satisfying thriller cum fairy tale, Drive Your Plow over the Bones of the Dead is a provocative exploration of the murky borderland between sanity and madness, justice and tradition, autonomy and fate. Whom do we deem sane? it asks. Who is worthy of a voice?
