Summary

Books to look out for in the first half of 2026 —Lucy Popescu, Camden New Journal
The Tribe is the epic tale of a family and its history and a family in history.
The Carraches are a powerful Sephardic dynasty in the cosmopolitan city of Salonica during the dying days of the Ottoman Empire. After the Greek annexation of the city, they settle in France until, in 1940, the Nazi Occupation sends some into hiding, some into flight and others into camps. In the early 1960s, the survivors and their children confront the family's past, with long hidden secrets uncovered and deep-seated conflicts exposed, even as the Eichmann trial forces the world at large to confront the full enormity of the Holocaust.
The Tribe crosses cultures and continents in its exploration of family, race, nation and empire. As the central characters journey from adolescence through early adulthood to late middle age, they experience first loves, political and sexual awakenings, artistic triumphs, religious pressures, marital struggles, dynastic rivalries, brutal persecution, resilience and liberation, before, helped by their children, they finally achieve a degree of reconciliation both with one another and the city of their birth.

""A charming fantasy...Leda Cassidy is something else. An unusual mix of myths and legends from around the world, this feels like a classic-in-waiting."" —The Guardian 
A Scottish governess arrives in Singapore to take up her new post, only to find a host of problems await that require her very unique skills in this award-winning and incredibly entertaining historical fantasy novel. 
There has never yet been a crisis that Miss Leda Cassidy hasn’t been able to fix, be it a lovelorn young charge, perpetually distracted students, or an unruly and malevolent ghost. When she arrives at her new employer’s home and discovers the family is being terrorized by a vampiric spirit, she sets about righting the situation without delay. 
But it seems that as soon as she puts one supernatural creature to rest, another appears to take its place. A woman’s work is truly never done, is it? 
When she meets Mr. Kay, a widower whose greatest worry appears to be making matches for his twin daughters, she is happy to take a post that might provide her a bit of respite from her more “spirited” friends. But she soon realizes that the Kays are in far more trouble than she realized—and that her presence in their home might have put the family she’s grown to cherish in even more jeopardy. Will she be able to save them all before it’s too late, or has she finally stumbled upon the one problem she isn’t able to solve?

When Miss Bingley arrives at Pemberley in a state of alarm, Mr. Darcy is quick to learn that his friend's future may be in jeopardy. Convinced that Jane Bennet intends to secure Charles Bingley by any means necessary, Darcy determines to intervene—unaware that his actions will only deepen the divide between himself and Elizabeth Bennet. 
 
Elizabeth is certain that Darcy's interference proves him proud, meddlesome, and determined to deny her sister happiness. Darcy believes Elizabeth would gladly entrap his friend if given the opportunity. Each is convinced of the other's worst intentions, and neither is prepared to concede error. 
 
Yet the truth has a way of asserting itself. When unsettling revelations concerning Mr. Wickham come to light, Darcy is forced to confront the possibility that he has been gravely mistaken. With Georgiana Darcy's courage and Elizabeth's resolve bringing hidden matters into the open, long-standing deceptions unravel, and Wickham's hold over Hertfordshire is finally broken. 
 
As misunderstandings fade and trust is slowly rebuilt, Darcy and Elizabeth must face not only their flawed judgments, but the growing affection they have been reluctant to acknowledge.

London has been accumulating its dead for two thousand years. These are their stories. 
 
This collection brings together twenty of the finest ghost stories set in the capital, drawn from the Victorian and Edwardian periods and selected by Tony Walker, narrator of The Classic Ghost Stories Podcast. The authors gathered here represent the best of their age: Charles Dickens, Wilkie Collins, Charlotte Riddell, Algernon Blackwood, M R James, E F Benson, H G Wells, and others whose names are synonymous with the supernatural tale at its height. 
 
The streets, squares, and buildings in these pages are real. A surgeon walks home through Soho on a winter night. Something stirs in a house on Vauxhall Walk. A man keeps a strange appointment in a part of the city that looks, on the surface, entirely ordinary. London has always been this way — layered, ancient, and not quite done with its past — and these writers knew it. 
 
Tony Walker's introduction sets the stories in context, and each story carries a note on its publication history. Whether you are visiting London for the first time, have lived here all your life, or simply carry the city in your imagination, this is a book to read after dark, when the streets outside are quiet and the old town is doing what it has always done.
