When there is no choice, all you have left to do is walk. Kiara Johnson does not know what it is to live as a normal seventeen-year-old. With her mother in a rehab facility and an older brother who devotes his time and money to a recording studio, she fends for herself - and for nine-year-old Trevor, whose own mother is prone to disappearing for days at a time. As the landlord of their apartment block threatens to raise their rent, Kiara finds herself walking the streets after dark, determined to survive in a world that refuses to protect her. Then one night Kiara is picked up by Officers 601 and 190, and the gruesome deal she is offered in exchange for her freedom lands her at the centre of a media storm. If she agrees to testify in a grand jury trial, she could help expose the sickening corruption of a police department. But honesty comes at a price - one that could leave her family vulnerable to their retaliation, and endanger everyone she loves. Nightcrawling is an unforgettable novel about young people navigating the darkest corners of an adult world, told with a humanity that is at once agonising and utterly mesmerising

At 17, Tara Westover entered a classroom for the first time, having grown up in a survivalist family in Idaho. Her upbringing revolved around preparing for the apocalypse, with her childhood marked by stockpiling supplies and living in isolation. Her mother, a midwife, treated injuries at home, as her father forbade any medical intervention. This seclusion meant that Tara and her siblings lacked formal education and faced unchecked violence from an older brother. Determined to learn, Tara self-educated, mastering enough math and grammar to gain admission to Brigham Young University. There, she discovered significant historical events like the Holocaust and the civil rights movement, which broadened her worldview. Her pursuit of knowledge took her across the globe, ultimately leading her to Harvard and Cambridge. This journey prompted her to question her identity and whether she could reconcile her past with her new life. The narrative explores themes of self-invention, family loyalty, and the emotional toll of breaking away from close ties. With remarkable insight, Westover presents a universal coming-of-age story that reveals the transformative power of education and the ability to view one's life from a new perspective.

*SHORTLISTED FOR THE ENCORE AWARD 2020* On a bitterly cold winter’s afternoon, Michael and Caitlin escape their unhappy marriages to keep an illicit rendez-vous. Once a month, for the past quarter of a century, Coney Island has been their haven. These precious, hidden hours are their only nourishment. But now, amid the howling of an angry snowstorm, the shut-down, out-of-season resort feels like the edge of the world. And their lives, suddenly, are on the brink – with news of serious illness on one side, and a move to the Midwest on the other. And so, after half a lifetime spent in secret, certain long-avoided facts need to be faced, consequences examined, decisions made, and – perhaps – chances finally taken. A quiet, intense drama of late-flowering intimacy, My Coney Island Baby condenses, within the course of a single day, the histories, landscapes, tragedies and moments of wonder that constitute the lives of two people who, although born worlds apart, have been drawn together. O’Callaghan, a masterful prose stylist, has created a devastatingly powerful novel about two unforgettable characters and the choices they have made. This is a book full of sorrow, but also radiant with beauty, longing and breathless desire.
