It’s not everyday you get to explore the real life setting of a novel you’ve published, but today was one of those days! Congratulations to Siân Hughes for PEARL, a gripping psychological mystery about a missing mother, set in beautiful rural Cheshire.

Should we become parents?

“A searing portrait of love, betrayal, redemption and complicity. It looks unflinchingly at our societal failings around sexual violence and the mistake we make when we fail to listen to women and survivors.”

Our weekend reading plans… What are yours?

Happy Publication Day to PEARL, the ‘utterly gripping’ first novel from award-winning poet Siân Hughes 🌱

"I can pinpoint the exact moment the police stopped looking for a missing woman and started looking for a dead body. One that, by now, was probably beyond recognition. It was the day they stopped phoning my father to tell him they had found ‘someone’ and started to say ‘something’. Something in woodland. Something in the river. Something."

We are delighted that author Paul Behrens has been announced as a Frontiers Planet Prize International Champion 2023 for his research into the double climate benefit of a switch to plant-based diets in high-income countries!

Who are you, when you come from two places?

Read a touching new essay from SILENCE IS MY MOTHER TONGUE author Sulaiman Addonia in the New York Times: On how a language barrier can both limit and liberate.

We are SO delighted that The Consequences author Manuel Muñoz has been awarded the Joyce Carol Oates Prize! Read the full announcement at the link in our bio 🎉

Join Arrival author Nataliya Deleva at the Migration Museum in Lewisham for a very special event on dual identity, fragmented memories and the impacts of trauma.

‘The Consequences is a collection of many threads, stories, memories, and choices. There is love here, and violence, and betrayal, and tenderness.’

‘Compulsive reading, bursting with tenderness while remaining uncompromising in its assessments and realisations. Take note: this astonishing book announces the arrival of a rare voice, wise beyond her years. Perhaps beyond all of ours.’

“After she left I wondered, had I been spirited away, or had she? Was I still in the real world, or was this some kind of bad copy? What if my mother was looking everywhere for me, calling my name? What if I could fall backwards out of this poor, faded replica of reality and land in the middle of a bed of spurge, look up and see my mother sitting under the apple tree threading her needle to sew my name onto school clothes I would never have to wear?”

“Why is @priyahein’s debut published only a month ago, so hard to obtain??!!!!!

There’s been a lot of talk about the exquisite cover of Riambel by Priya Hein.

Signed copies of Riambel, the devastating new novel from Priya Hein, are available direct from our website! We gift wrap each order and include a handwritten note, which makes a thoughtful gift for friends, mothers, lovers, and bookish folk.

'With this heart that forgets how to beat in the conventional rhythm, my insomnia sails me along. My blood has turned to water, and sometimes I feel a fish tickling my pancreas. Other times, I am poisoned through and through by the mercury that gold miners dump in the river's veins and in their own. I squirm, go mutant, and my gills rot away.'

Constance author Joseph Zigmond has been very busy dropping proofs of his debut to local Brighton and Hove bookshops. Catch him and his toddler-publicist at a bookshop near you very soon!

A trip to Bath wouldn’t be complete without a visit to Topping & Co Booksellers, made better with the discovery of two new Indigo Press titles on their fiction table!
