A water-borne blight hits a remote community on a small island on the edge of the Northern Atlantic. The islanders are a strange mix, some island-born, some seeking a slower life away from the modern world. All have their own secrets, some much darker than others. Rumour says the illness may be a water-borne neural infection from the shellfish farm, a case of mass hysteria - or even a long-buried curse - but when ferry service fails, inconvenience grows into nightmarish ordeal as the outwardly harmonious fabric of the community is unnervingly torn apart.A haunting, suspenseful tale of isolation and dread within a small island community -from the author of A Boy and his Dog at the End of the World, perfect for fans of The Loney and Station Eleven.

'Michael Bhaskar explores the disturbing possibility that a complacent, cautious civilisation has lost ambition, and is slowly sinking into technological stagnation, rather than accelerating into a magical future. He is calling for bold, adventurous innovators to go big again. A fascinating book.'MATT RIDLEY, AUTHOR OF HOW INNOVATION WORKSWhere next for humanity? Is our future one of endless improvement in all areas of life, from technology and travel to medicine, movies and music? Or are our best years behind us?In Human Frontiers, Michael Bhaskar draws a vividly entertaining and expansive portrait of humanity's relationship with big ideas. He argues that stasis at the frontier is the result of having already pushed so far, taken easy wins and started to hit limits. But new thinking is still possible. By adopting bold global approaches, deploying cutting edge technology like AI and embracing a culture of change, we can push through and expand afresh.'Have "Big Ideas" and big social and economic changes disappeared from the scene? Michael Bhaskar's Human Frontiers is the best look at these all-important questions'TYLER COWEN

AN EPIC TALE OF LOVE AND LIBERATION, SET IN SEVENTEENTH-CENTURY BRAZIL'I fell asleep and dreamed of Palmares, where one's true place in the world was said to be the same as any free man's or woman's . . . 'From plantation to plantation, Almeyda, a young slave girl, hears whispers, rumours of Palmares, a hidden settlement where fugitive slaves live free. But can this promised land exist? And what price is paid for 'freedom'?In Palmares, Gayl Jones brings to life a world full of unforgettable characters, reimagining extraordinary historical events and combining them with mythology and magic. Of Gayl Jones, the New Yorker noted, '[Her] great achievement is to reckon with both history and interiority, and to collapse the boundary between them.' Like nothing else before it, Palmares embodies this gift. Palmares hails the return of a major voice in literature. Gayl Jones was first discovered and edited by Toni Morrison, and her talent was praised by writers including Maya Angelou, James Baldwin and John Updike. After a handful of acclaimed novels, she withdrew from the publishing world. Now Jones returns with her first novel in over twenty years.'An American writer with a powerful sense of vital inheritance, of history in the blood' John Updike'Jones's writing powerfully blends narrative and lyricism . . . Her imagination seems to thrive on outstripping one's expectations' Margo Jefferson

To be truly alive means having to make choices. To be truly alive is also, quite simply, to love.Northern Germany, 1945. Dead of night and dead of winter, a boy sees strangers - forced labourers - fleeing across the heathland: shawls and skirts in the snowfall. The end days are close, war brings risk and chance, and Benno is witness to something he barely understands.Later, when peace finally arrives in his small town, the adults close ranks, closing their mouths and minds to the winter's events. They all have their reasons. They all hope [the worst is over, and] that in any case the labour camp on the outskirts will surely be closed now. Benno swallows his secret [about the women workers], keeping it even from Freya, his schoolyard companion.But with peace come soldiers - English this time - and Red Cross staff officers. Ruth is on her first posting from London, arriving in the town only to uncover the camp and its remaining workers, abandoned there at war's end. She is given charge of them, and also the many new arrivals: more forced labourers from across the heathland and beyond, all with their own losses and stories, and all housed in a new camp on the site of the old. Among these refugees are children - Sasha and Yeva - waiting and waiting for word of their mother. Where could she be now?For Benno, too, questions are circling. Freya has heard whispers - about the camp and that snow night and the strangers - enough to be wondering about Benno and his silence. When is an act of kindness an act of betrayal?

I am in a bar in Brooklyn listening to two men, my friends, discuss whether or not my life was worth living.So begins Chloé Cooper Jones's bold account of moving through the world in a body that looks different than most. Born with a rare congenital condition called sacral agenesis, she must contend not only with her own physical pain, but the emotional discomfort of others. It is only when she unexpectedly becomes a mother that she confronts the demand to live life fully and reclaim the spaces she'd been denied and denied herself.From Roman sculptures to a Beyoncé concert, from a tennis tournament to the Cambodian Killing Fields, Jones interrogates the myths of beauty with spiky intelligence, aesthetic philosophy, love and humor, inviting us to find a new way of seeing. 'What a gift . . . Easy Beauty has the rigor and precision of Joan Didion and Maggie Nelson and a forthright humor and naked truth all of its own' Sarah Ruhl, author of Smile
