Mitchell Zuckoff The Secret Gate
a true story of courage and sacrifice
during the collapse of Afghanistan
The incredible story of a breathtaking rescue in the frenzied
final hours of the US evacuation of Afghanistan — and
how a brave Afghan mother and a compassionate American
officer engineered a daring escape.
When the US began its withdrawal from Afghanistan, and the
Afghan army instantly collapsed, Homeira Qaderi was marked for
death at the hands of the Taliban. A celebrated author, academic,
and champion for women’s liberation, Homeira had achieved
celebrity in her home country by winning custody of her son in
a contentious divorce, a rarity in Afghanistan’s patriarchal society.
Despite her fierce determination to stay in her homeland, it
finally became clear to Homeira that escaping was the only way
she and her family would survive. However, like so many, she was
mired in the chaos that ensued at Kabul Airport, struggling to get

Oindrila Mukherjee The Dream Builders
a novel
A stunning, multi-perspective epic about class division, the
contraints of gender roles, and the history of India.
After living in the US for years, Maneka Roy returns home to
India to mourn the loss of her mother and finds herself in a new
world. The booming city of Hrishipur where her father now lives
is nothing like the part of the country where she grew up, and the
more she sees of this new, sparkling city, the more she learns that
nothing — and no one — here is as it appears. Ultimately, it will
take an unexpected tragic event for Maneka and those around her
to finally understand just how fragile life is in this city built on
aspirations.
Written from the perspectives of ten different characters,
Oindrila Mukherjee’s incisive debut novel explores class divisions,
gender roles, and stories of survival within a society that is

a memoir
Following the acclaimed No Visible Bruises, a piercing
account of the author’s childhood in an evangelical
Christian community, her teenage escape, and her career
as a reporter at the frontline of the global epidemic of
violence against women.
Award-winning journalist Rachel Louise Snyder has spent her
career reporting on abuse that happens under the cover of ‘private
life’. And yet the story of her own troubled family is one she has
always kept locked away.
Snyder was eight when her mother died, and her distraught
father thrust the family into an evangelical, cult-like existence
halfway across the country. Furiously rebellious against this life, she
was expelled from school, and then from home. Living out of her
car and relying on strangers, she soon found herself masquerading

Israel’s battle for its inner soul

Despite Israel’s determined staying power in a hostile environment,

— socialist secular elites and idealists — are a dying breed, and
the state’s democratic foundations are being challenged. A

permanent sense of security and normalcy is elusive.

Ash meets the Chinese who are doing just this, ‘reverse

extraordinary and inspiring journey of self-discovery.
In 2020, Alec Ash left behind his old life as a journalist in
buzzy Beijing, and moved to Dali, a rural valley in China’s
Yunnan province, centred around a great lake shaped like an ear
and overlooked by the Cang mountain range. Here, he hoped
to find the space and perspective to mend heartbreak after a
broken engagement and escape the trappings of fast-paced, high-
pressured city life.
Originally home to the Bai people, Dali has become a richly

Translated by Bianca Jacobsohn how the digital world is costing the earth
From the author of The Rare Metals War, a gripping
investigation that exposes the dark secrets of the virtual
world: not only does digital technology depend on huge
amounts of physical resources, energy, and even water,
but it is highly damaging to the environment.
It turns out that the ‘dematerialised’ digital world, essential for
communicating, working, and consuming, is much more tangible
than we would like to believe. Today, it absorbs ten per cent of the
world’s electricity and represents nearly four per cent of the planet’s
carbon dioxide emissions. We are struggling to understand these
impacts, as they are obscured to us in the mirage of ‘the cloud’.
Even a simple ‘like’ sent from our smartphones mobilises
what will soon constitute the largest infrastructure built by man.

Translated by Ruth Martin
Published for the first time in English, the debut novel by
the author of international bestseller The Eighth Life.
In 1953, a teenage girl, Jeanne Saré, jumps in front of a train at the
Gare du Nord station in Paris. She leaves behind writings that to
some are unreadable, but to others tell universal, unspoken truths
about the lives and struggles of women. When published in the
1970s, her work triggers a rash of copycat suicides. It is withdrawn
from sale and eventually forgotten about.
Then, in 2004, two women from opposite corners of the globe
— Amsterdam and Sydney — rediscover Jeanne Saré’s book and
set out to discover who the author was and what happened to her.
So many women across the ages have attached their own
stories to Saré’s, often with devastating results, but the truth about
her may be even stranger than the fictions they have invented.

The brilliant new short story collection from Arthur

A family of cat farmers gets the chance to set the felines free. A
group of chickens tells it like it is. A female-crewed ship ploughs
through the patriarchy. A support group finds solace in a world
without men.
With her trademark humour, energy, and flair, McKay offers
hallucinogenic glimpses of places where dreams subsume reality,
where childhood restarts, where humans behave like animals and
animals talk like humans.
The stories in Gunflower explode and bloom in mesmerising

Shida Bazyar Sisters in Arms
Translated by Ruth Martin
An explosive feminist and anti-racist novel about the
importance of friendship.
‘We don’t exist in this world. Here, we are neither Germans nor
refugees, we don’t report the news and we aren’t the experts. We’re
some sort of wildcard.’
Hani, Kasih, and Saya have shared a deep friendship ever since
they were kids. After years apart, the three young women meet
again for a few days, to pick up where they left off. But regardless
of what they have achieved, it becomes clear, again and again, that
they can’t escape the racism that accompanies their daily lives: the
glances, the chatter, the hatred, and the outright rightwing terror.
But their friendship gives them stability. Until one dramatic night
shakes everything up.

Rob Drummond You’re All Talk
why we are what we speak
Why do we have different accents and where do they come
from? Why do you say ‘tomayto’ and I say ‘tomahto’? And
is one way of speaking better than another?
In You’re All Talk, linguist Rob Drummond explores the enormous
diversity in how language is spoken to reveal extraordinary
insights into how humans operate: how we perceive (and judge)
other people and how we would like ourselves to be perceived.
He investigates how and why we automatically associate different
accents with particular social characteristics — degrees of
friendliness, authority, social class, level of education, race, and so
on — and how we, consciously or subconsciously, change the way
we speak in order to create different versions of ourselves to fit
different environments.
Ultimately, You’re All Talk demonstrates the beauty of

Peter R. Neumann The New World Disorder
Translated by David Shaw how the West is destroying itself
A coruscating analysis of global politics, setting out
the dangers the world will face if the West fails to
reinvent itself.
The West is under pressure, and it has only itself to blame. Over
the past thirty years, through a mixture of naivety and arrogance,
it has lost its global advantage. The challenges are profound: the
rise of China, climate change, and the polarisation of society. It’s
time for a new start: modernity must become sustainable if it is
to survive.
The triumph of the West had seemed unstoppable not that
long ago. After the end of the Cold War, the democratic market
economy took hold in the former Eastern Bloc, Russia went from
being an enemy to a partner, and even China turned to capitalism.
Then came the terrorist attacks of 9/11 that shook the world. The

how lessons from the Earth’s past can help
us survive the climate crisis
In this sweeping work of science and history, the renowned
climate scientist and author of The New Climate War shows
us the conditions on Earth that allowed humans not only
to exist but thrive, and how they are imperiled if we veer
off course.
For the vast majority of its 4.54 billion years, Earth has proven it
can manage just fine without human beings. Then came the first
proto-humans, who emerged just a little more than 2 million years
ago — a fleeting moment in geological time. What is it that made
this benevolent moment of ours possible? Ironically, it’s the very
same thing that now threatens us — climate change.

Walter Marsh Young Rupert
the making of the Murdoch empire
For half a century, the Murdoch media empire and its
polarising patriarch have swept across the globe, shaking
up markets and democracies in their wake. But how did it
all start?
In September 1953, 22-year-old Rupert Murdoch landed in
Adelaide, South Australia. Fresh from Oxford with a radical
reputation, the young and brash son of Sir Keith Murdoch had
arrived to fulfill his father’s dying wish: for Rupert to live a ‘useful,
altruistic, and full life’ in the media.
For decades, Sir Keith had been a giant of the Australian press,
but his final years were spent bitterly fending off rivals and would-
be successors. When the dust settled on his father’s estate, Rupert
was left with the Adelaide-based News Ltd and its afternoon paper

the city and laid the foundations for a global empire — if Rupert

Drawing on unpublished archival material and new reportage,
Young Rupert pieces together a paper trail of succession, sedition,
and power — and a fascinating time capsule of Australian media
on the cusp of an extraordinary ascension.

After the Romanovs
A TLS and Prospect Book of the Year. The scintillating story of the
Russian aristocrats, artists, and intellectuals who sought refuge in Belle
Époque Paris.
The fall of the Romanov dynasty in 1917 forced thousands of Russians to
flee their homeland with only the clothes on their backs. Many came to
France’s glittering capital, Paris. Former princes drove taxicabs, while their
wives found work in the fashion houses. Some intellectuals, artists, poets,
philosophers, and writers eked out a living at menial jobs; a few found
success until the economic downturn of the 1930s hit. In exile, White
Russian activists sought to overthrow the Bolshevik regime from afar, and
double agents plotted from both sides, to little avail. Many Russians became
trapped in a cycle of poverty and their all-consuming homesickness. This is
their story.

they set out on an odyssey to uncover the truth about another family’s past,
and to understand their own. My Soul Twin is an intense love story about

Jan Morris is widely considered one of Britain’s best-loved writers, known
for her observational genius, lyricism, and humour. Born in 1926, she
spent her childhood amidst Oxford’s Gothic beauty and later participated
in military service in Italy and the Middle East, before becoming an
internationally fêted foreign correspondent. However, public success
masked a private dilemma that was only resolved when she transitioned
genders in the late sixties. She went on to live happily with her wife
Elizabeth in Wales for another five decades, and never stopped writing and
publishing. Here, for the first time, the many strands of Morris’s rich and at
times paradoxical life are brought together.

Madame Fourcade’s Secret War
The little-known true story of the woman who headed the largest spy
network in Vichy France during World War II.
In 1941, a thirty-one-year-old Frenchwoman, a young mother born to
privilege and known for her beauty and glamour, became the leader of
Alliance, a vast Resistance organisation — the only woman to hold such
a role. No other French spy network lasted as long or supplied as much
crucial intelligence as Alliance — and as a result, the Gestapo pursued its
members relentlessly, capturing, torturing, and executing hundreds of its
three thousand agents, including Fourcade’s own lover and many of her key
spies. In this dramatic account of the war that split France in two and forced
its people to live side by side with their hated German occupiers, Lynne
Olson tells the fascinating story of a woman who stood up for her nation,
her fellow citizens, and herself.
