De Georgische schrijver Dato Turashvili reist af naar Amsterdam om een taboe in zijn familiegeschiedenis te onderzoeken. Zijn grootvader Melenti, die in de Tweede Wereldoorlog door Stalin naar het front was gestuurd en in 1944 door de nazi’s werd gevangengenomen, belandde in Amsterdam nadat hij uit het strafkamp was gevlucht. In deze stad – een symbool voor de vrijheid – bouwde hij kortstondig een leven op dat hij zou verzwijgen voor zijn familie. Terwijl Dato het Amsterdam van nu verkent, probeert hij zich voor te stellen hoe zijn grootvader hier 75 jaar geleden leefde, in die smalle straatjes van het constant drukke stadscentrum, gebukt onder de angst van vervolging. Want Melenti wist dat, terwijl hij was ondergedoken, andere Georgische krijgsgevangenen door de nazi’s naar Texel werden gebracht. Daar vond in het voorjaar van 1945 – Hitler had al zelfmoord gepleegd – een bloedige opstand van de krijgsgevangenen tegen de nazi’s plaats. De schrijver zit met verschillende vragen: als zijn grootvader niet bij de opstand betrokken was, waarom werd hij dan toch naar Siberië verbannen, waardoor hij pas in 1956 thuiskwam? En wat is er waar van de hardnekkige geruchten dat hij in Amsterdam een nieuwe liefde ontmoette? En, zo moet Dato toegeven, misschien is historisch onderzoek niet de enige reden voor zijn eigen vertrek naar Nederland. Ook híj wordt aangetrokken door een mysterieuze vrouw, een Georgische die hem romantische brieven stuurt – juist vanaf Texel.

Lela knows two things: her history teacher must die and she must start a new life beyond the pear field. On the outskirts of Tbilisi, in a newly independent Georgia, is the Residential School for Intellectually Disabled Children – or, as the locals call it, the School for Idiots. Abandoned by their parents, the pupils here receive lessons in violence and neglect. At eighteen, Lela is old enough to leave, but with nowhere to go she stays and plans, both for her own escape and for the future she hopes to give Irakli, a young boy at the school. When a couple from the USA decide they want to adopt a child, Lela is determined to do everything she can to help Irakli make the most of this chance.

'One of the finest writers at work today.' Damon Galgut 'A writer of show-stopping genius.' Guardian 'So vivid, so visceral, so vital.' Val McDermid For almost a decade Rachel Caine has turned her back on home and worked in Idaho at a reservation for wolves. As one of the few experts in her field she is summoned back to England by the eccentric Earl of Annerdale to help with his plan for re-wilding wolves on his estate in the Lake District. As Rachel attempts a gradual reconciliation with her estranged family, her work with the Earl begins to generate public outrage and the threat of sabotage. Set against a backdrop of Scottish independence and tumultuous power struggles both locally and nationally, The Wolf Border is a novel steeped in wilderness and wildness, both animal and human. 'A graceful, visceral, utterly compelling read.' Sunday Express magazine 'A thrilling tale of politics and power . . . Compulsively absorbing and masterfully plotted, it confirms Hall as one of our finest fiction writers.' Daily Mail 'A compelling, psychological drama . . . [Hall] has a golden touch.' The Economist

'How can you talk about being civil when innocent animals are being tortured to death? Civil? I'll be civil when the killing's done.' The island of Anacapa, off the coast of California, is overrun with black rats which are threatening the ancient population of ground-nesting birds. Alma Boyd Takesue of the National Park Service is the spokesperson for a campaign to exterminate these man-introduced rodents once and for all. Alma, highly self-disciplined with a stubborn streak, speaks as a conservationist, though the fact that her grandmother was once stranded on Anacapa for three weeks with nothing but thousands of crawling rats for company might explain some of her zeal. With days to go before the aerial rat-poisoning, Alma's plan is in danger of sabotage. Dave LaJoy and Anise Reed, a pair of notorious environmental activists, are recognisable from a distance by his knotted dreadlocks and her flame-red cyclone of hair. Dave is an electronics salesman with barely-controlled rages, for whom the plight of the rats is yet another of life's many injustices, along with lazy tramps and second-rate wine. Anise is a struggling folk singer with her own, terrible reasons for getting involved in 'the cause'. From the outset, Alma, Dave and Anise are at ideological loggerheads. But when Alma's sights turn to the infestation of non-native pigs on Santa Cruz - where Anise was brought up by her single mother and a clan of ranchers - the stakes are raised, and the debate threatens to boil over into something much more real... When the Killing's Done is T.C. Boyle's blistering new novel, a sweeping epic of family, ecology and the right to life - no matter what the fallout.

On the shores of the Mediterranean, exhausted from an afternoon of surfing, Pietro Paladini is shaken out of his stupor by a distant noise. “Over there!” he cries to his brother, Carlo, sunning beside him. “Over there!” So begins the adventure that will tear a hole in Pietro’s life. For while he and his brother struggle to save two drowning swimmers, a tragedy is unfolding down the road at his summer cottage. Instead of coming home to a hero’s welcome, Pietro is greeted by the flashing lights of an ambulance, the wide-eyed stare of his young daughter, Claudia, and the terrible news that his fiancÉe, Lara, is dead. Life must go on. Or does it? Pietro, a true iconoclast, has to find his own way. When he drops Claudia off for the first day of school, he decides to wait outside for her all day, and then every day. To protect her. To protect himself. To wait for the heavy fist of grief to strike. But as the days and weeks go by, the small parking lot in front of the school becomes his refuge from the world as well as the place where family and colleagues come to relieve their own suffering—among them, the woman he rescued from the waves. And Pietro plunges deeper into the depths of his life before seeing the simple truth before his eyes. Sandro Veronesi makes art of every detail, creating a mosaic of humor, hope, profound insight, and emotional resonance. Quiet Chaos is an unprecedented portrayal of a life set adrift by death.
