Beschreibung

'Jo and Harry are changing.
Harry is changing more than most, undeniably.
And change is beautiful. Necessary. Terrifying.'
Break-ups aren't just about who gets the CD collection. As Jo and Harry begin to untangle themselves from each other, new worlds start to open up – worlds filled with new partners, new identities, new possibilities…
What kind of women do they want to be, and do they have the courage, or the permission, to get there?
Chris Bush's play Otherland is a bold and beautiful exploration of what it means to be true to yourself in the face of unstoppable change. It premiered at the Almeida Theatre, London, in 2025, directed by Ann Yee.
Otherland was a finalist for the 2025 Susan Smith Blackburn Prize.

    Sequel to As Many Stars
    Adventurer Blake Thornton, scholar-duke Ashley Linden, and Scottish physician Cameron Fraser are in love. They plan to build a life together. But change comes with complications, as Cam knows all too well. 
    He worries about Ash's health, after illness. He needs to ensure Blake feels safe and cared-for, especially in bed. He knows his new lovers are an earl and a duke, young and titled and wealthy, all of which Cam isn't. He's promised to move in with them, in London, but that means leaving his practice in Edinburgh, his home, full of memories and ghosts. 
    During a fortnight in Edinburgh, Cam will face his doubts, and with Blake and Ash at his side, he'll learn to believe in happy endings again.

    Cut off from his family—and more importantly, the family fortune—Blake Castelli stakes his future on one last throw of the dice: he'll go to Las Vegas and use his line of credit at the Morrigan casino to replenish his bank account. 
     
     
     
    But the Morrigan's under new ownership. And while Blake doesn't remember handsome, arrogant Declan MacKenna from their ill-fated encounter ten years ago, Declan remembers him. And he wants payback. 
     
     
     
    Declan offers Blake a humiliating, degrading deal he has no choice but to take even though it's all kinds of wrong. While Blake may be an alpha werewolf, so is Declan—and he out-alphas Blake at every turn. Blake shouldn't enjoy what Declan does to him. He shouldn't crave things no alpha should ever accept. Declan's turned him into someone he doesn't recognize helpless, needy, and out of control. 
     
     
     
    Declan wants to keep hating Blake, but he can't. Blake wants to trust Declan, but that's impossible. When magical and mundane attacks threaten them both, Blake has nowhere to turn. If Declan doesn't realize his feelings run deeper than desire in time to save them both, they could lose everything . . . even their lives.

    As Soomro moves his characters from urban Karachi to rural Abad to the faraway escape of London, Todiwala consistently and attentively distinguishes the changing cast with practiced ease." - BooklistA charged, hypnotic debut novel about a boy’s life-changing summer in rural Pakistan: a story of fathers, sons, and the consequences of desire.At age sixteen, Fahad hopes to spend the summer with his mother in London. His father, Rafik, has other plans: hauling his son to Abad, the family’s feudal estate in upcountry, Pakistan. Rafik wants to toughen up his sensitive boy, to teach him about power, duty, family—to make him a man. He enlists Ali, a local teenager, in this project, hoping his presence will prove instructive.Instead, over the course of one hot, indolent season, attraction blooms between the two boys, and Fahad finds himself seduced by the wildness of the land and its inhabitants: the people, who revere and revile his father in turn; cousin Mousey, who lives alone with a man he calls his manager; and most of all, Ali, who threatens to unearth all that is hidden.Decades later, Fahad is living abroad when he receives a call from his mother summoning him home. His return will force him to face the past. Taymour Soomro’s Other Names for Love is a tale of masculinity, inheritance, and desire set against the backdrop of a country’s troubled history, told with uncommon urgency and beauty.A Macmillan Audio production from Farrar, Straus & Giroux

    CEO Helena Wolfe is the ultimate corporate predator—cold, ruthless, and untouchable. She thrives on competition and control, ruling the boardroom with an iron will and icy precision. But when she's forced to team up with Sloane Callahan—a sharp-tongued, equally ambitious corporate lawyer—sparks fly. And not the friendly kind. 
    Their rivalry is legendary. Their banter? Scorching. And when a business trip mix-up leaves them stuck sharing a hotel bed, their professional tension ignites into something far more dangerous: undeniable chemistry. 
    Helena is determined to keep her walls intact, but Sloane's wit, charm, and refusal to back down make resistance impossible. As their passionate clash deepens into unexpected intimacy, both women must confront the emotional barriers holding them back. 
    Can Helena let her icy armor crack for the one person who sees through it? And will Sloane take the risk of falling for the woman who's perfected the art of staying distant?

    A Poetry Book Society Recommendation
    Inheritance is a profoundly moving exploration of what is passed down by our forebearers, what is left behind when we lose someone, and what we learn from being loved. Jasmine Cooray holds our most fiercely-guarded myths to the light, refracted through second-generation diaspora, family legend and life-changing loss. Her poems embrace both the quiet and the storms within. They sing of self-belief rising to the surface as drowning feels imminent, of desire and how it can cultivate hope. This is a timeless debut: wise, wild and empowering, a lodestar for survival.
    "A strident, playful language dance through life's more challenging parts, always towards something transcendent." Anthony Joseph, Sonnets for Albert, Winner of the 2022 T.S. Eliot Prize
    "Intimate, vulnerable, poignant and provocative. Inheritance is a stunning debut brimming with tenderness, authenticity and heart."  Salena Godden, Mrs Death Misses Death
