Pure Innocent Boy / Patrick Doherty. - [miejsce nieznane] : Dedalus : Legimi, 2025.
Pure Innocent Boy ends in tragedy. It is one which could have easily been avoided, all that was needed was a bit more time and love from other members of his family to Tadhg. It is a novel which touches the heart. Pure Innocent Boy also offers a state of the nation view of Ireland as seen from the bottom of society. Tadhg Kelly suffered a mental breakdown after his mother died. Now he is trying to find his way in a world where he no longer fits. He gets a job in the local toy shop and seems, on the surface, to be finding stability. But in truth he is drifting, and it is only a matter of time before he crashes again. Tadhg's brother Damien seems to have his own life together – married to Eileen, with two lovely little boys – but he's got his own demons. And Eileen does her best to hold it all together, but sometimes it's just too much. Tadhg's father, a man of few words, has no time for his son. Interspersing Tadhg's diary entries with first-person accounts by Damien and Eileen, Pure Innocent Boy is a poignant, aching character study about masculinity, mental health and grief that slowly builds in power.

Chasing the Dream / Liane de Pougy. - [miejsce nieznane] : Dedalus : Legimi, 2021.
This is the first English translation of Chasing the Dream, Liane de Pougy's first novel, published in 1898 when she was 29. It is the story of a courtesan in search of true love which repeatedly proves ungraspable - insaisissable.Josiane de Valneige is young, beautiful and rich. She is also exhausted, depressed and despairing. Although scores of wealthy Parisians have been her lovers, she has loved none in return. And despite Josiane's fame as one of the fin de siècle's grandes horizontales, fêted in every gossip column, the journey to success has revealed a flaw in her character: she has a heart. Her real self is never engaged. It is not enough to be universally loved. She needs, she yearns, to give her heart.

Bloodlines / Francesco Aloia. - [miejsce nieznane] : Dedalus Europe : Legimi, 2025.
Can one man's blood ruin the lives of the rest of his family? And by 'blood', Francesco Aloia, in his striking debut novel, means character. The character in question is Aloia's grandfather, Carlo Gaetano Orlando, a man of ambition, firm convictions and a dangerously volatile sense of personal honour. Two killings, and long spells in prison, overshadow his career, and his notoriety overshadows the prospects of his seven children, one of whom is Aloia's mother. In this intricate, kaleidoscopic novel, Aloia vividly recreates the life of a grandfather he never met and the febrile atmosphere of a postwar Naples where power is exercised as much by strong men with guns as by civic representatives of the state. Bloodlines (Questo sangue masticato) reflects on the devastating consequences of one man's overwhelming personality. It is also a book for our times, and introduces us, in Francesco Aloia, to a startling new talent.

Mbarek Ould Beyrouk's greatly acclaimed novel Saara was the winner of the prestigious Prix Littéraire Les Afriques 2023. The story is told through three different narrators, Saara, an attractive young woman who is both unconventional, liberated and determined; the Sheikh, a young man who succeeds his father as the leader of a Sufi order striving to live exemplary lives in their oasis community and follow the path to salvation and the Beggar, befriended by Saara and who cares devotedly for his disabled mother and is the voice of the marginalised. It is their story and their lives are intertwined as the narrative embraces the whole gamut of life in Mauritania, with the conflict between city and desert life, tradition and modernity. Saara, travels to the oasis to visit the dying mother she hasn't seen since childhood. She arrives too late, but is made to feel at home by the inhabitants. She feels drawn towards the young Sheikh who is also attracted to Saara. Against a backdrop of insecurity caused by the effects of climate change, both become involved in a fight with the town's mayor about plans to build a dam in the oasis. It is a fight they cannot win and changes the lives of everybody. The Beggar's revenge on the people who have abused him brings the novel to a dramatic conclusion.

The Fire Within is the story of the surprising coming-of age of a Comorian servant girl who, from the start, is like no one else in her tropical island community. She becomes obsessed with a mysterious aristocratic woman who introduces her to a world of shape-shifting and parallel realities. Their adventures together become dangerous when the woman's husband finds out and reveals disturbing secrets about his wife. By turns lyrical, shocking, erotic and magical, infused with legend and Islamic teachings, the novel gives an insight into a little-known country that is a melting-pot of global influences. It was the winner of the Prix Alain Spiess du deuxième roman 2022. Le Monde called it 'the kind of novel that instantly reminds you why literature exists.'

In this novel of two parts – originally two separate novellas – we see the heroine Minne at two stages in her life. The cherished teenager, only child of a devoted mother, has a secret life: she wishes to belong to one of the street gangs who roam the outer boulevards of Paris. Her desire for excitement, power and love, drives the innocent into a dangerous adventure. Years later, as a married woman, she remains dissatisfied. She takes lovers, none of whom can make her a 'whole woman'. Only when her marital crisis reaches an extreme pitch does she find the answer, in an unexpected place. The Innocent Libertine was among the earliest works to be published by Colette under her own name.

In 1943, despite her own physical disabilities and the stress of living in a Paris under Nazi occupation, Colette, aged 70, published this delightful quartet of tales. In 'The Soldier's Hat', a middle-aged woman blossoms when an unlikely love affair embellishes her hard-working existence - until she makes a fateful mistake. 'The Tender Shoot' sees a fifty-year-old roué trounced when his roving eye falls on a fifteen-year-old country girl. In 'The Green Sealing Wax', the success of a widow's attempt to forge her late husband's will depends on the colour of the sealing wax she uses. 'Armande' is a tale of two bashful lovers. Maxime is unable to declare his passion for Armande, nor can she express her feelings for him, until one day she shakes a door handle too violently… A 'lost' story, 'A Wedding', from the first edition of Colette's final work of fiction, 'Gigi', completes this late flowering of Colette's exceptional talent.

nionistsWhen a filmmaker and a British civil servant get caught up in the endgame of the Irish Troubles in 1997, they find themselves crossing borders that are ethical as well as physical and are forced to make lethal choices. Perdita Burn is a journalist with a track record in political documentary; Daniel Booth a British government press officer with a document to leak – a startling revelation about the Irish Troubles. A bomb explodes in South Armagh and Perdita is shocked to realise it was predicted in Daniel's document, suggesting collusion between some part of the security services and paramilitaries in Northern Ireland. Her attempts to investigate draw her into ever murkier territory, political and personal. Back in London, Daniel realises he's being used as a pawn in the struggle between those who want to bring peace to Ireland and vested interests set on prolonging the war. As the plot darkens, it becomes clear that most of the people in this story are traitors of one kind or another – some deliberately, and perhaps bravely, like Daniel; others drawn gradually over the line.
