COLLUSION:
HOW RUSSIA HELPED TRUMP WIN THE
WHITE HOUSE
LUKE HARDING
‘A superb piece of work, wonderfully done and essential reading for any-one who cares for his country. Amaz-ing research and br illiantly collated.’ John Le Carré.
LONDON, December 2016. Luke
Harding meets former MI6 officer
Christopher Steele to discuss the U.S.
president-elect's connections with Rus-
sia. Harding follows two leads; money
and sex.
WASHINGTON, January 2017.
Steele's explosive dossier alleges that
the Kremlin has been 'cultivating, sup-
porting, and assisting' Trump for years
and that they have compromising infor-
mation about him. Trump responds on
Twitter, 'FAKE NEWS'.
In Collusion, award-winning journalist
Luke Harding reveals the true nature of
Trump's decades-long relationship
with Russia and presents the gripping
inside story of the dossier.
Luke Harding is an award-winning for-
eign correspondent with The Guardian.
Between 2007 and 2011 he was The
Guardian's Moscow bureau chief; the
Kremlin expelled him from the country
in the first case of its kind since the
Cold War.

OUR BODIES, THEIR BATTLEFIELD:
WAR THROUGH THE LIVES OF WOMEN
CHRISTINA LAMB
‘As a woman in the male field of war
correspondents, it has always seemed
to me that men and women report war
in different ways. My male colleagues
focus on the ‘bang-bang’ and the fight-
ers are usually male for as givers of
life, women find it harder to kill. On the
rare occasion they report about women
in war it is usually as passive victims –
the weeping widow or bereft mother.
We female correspondents are more in-
terested in what’s going on behind the
lines – how people keep life together
and feed, educate and shelter their
children as all hell is breaking loose.
The mothers under siege in the old cit-
ies of west Mosul or east Aleppo con-
juring up sandwiches from fried flour
and leaves and keeping warm by burn-
ing furniture or wooden window
frames. The people doing this are usu-
ally the women and to me, they are the
real heroes.’
At a critical time for women world-
wide, acclaimed journalist, Christina
Lamb, travels to war-zones to chronicle
the harrowing and largely untold sto-
ries of women in war.
Christina Lamb is the co-author of I am
Malala and The Girl from Aleppo: Nu-
jeen’s Escape from War to Freedom.
She is also the author of Farewell Ka-
bul, The Africa House and The Sewing
Circles of Herat.

MILK OF PARADISE:
A HISTORY OF OPIUM
LUCY INGLIS
Poppy tears, opium, heroin, fentanyl:
humankind has been in thrall to the
‘Milk of Paradise’ for millennia. The
latex of papaver somniferum is a
bringer of sleep, of pleasurable leth-
argy, of relief from pain. It is also
hugely addictive.
No other substance in the world is as
simple to produce or as profitable. It
is the basis of a gargantuan industry
built upon a shady underworld, but
ultimately is a plant that lives many
lives before it reaches the branded
packet, the intravenous drip or the
scorched and filthy spoon. Many of
us will end our lives dependent on it.
In Milk of Paradise, acclaimed cul-
tural historian Lucy Inglis takes read-
ers on an epic journey from ancient
Mesopotamia to modern America and
Afghanistan, from Sanskrit to pop,
from poppy tears to smack, from
morphine to today’s synthetic opi-
ates. It is a tale of addiction, trade,
crime, sex, war, literature, medicine
and, above all, money.
Lucy Inglis is a historian and novel-
ist. Her book Georgian London pub-
lished by Viking, was shortlisted for
the History Today Longman Prize.
City of Halves, her first novel for
young adults, was longlisted for the
Carnegie Medal and the Branford
Boase award.

THROUGH THE FIRE:
STORIES OF LIFE, DEATH AND FIREFIGHTING
SABRINA COHEN-HATTON
We push through the corridor, and
it’s black and hot. I feel the ripple of
the old flock wallpaper behind my
hand. I wonder who lives here, who
we’re looking for. Could it be an el-
derly person? It would explain the
wallpaper. If it is, then their mobility
can be an issue. As I shuffle along I
can feel objects against my feet, they
feel like shoes. I feel something with
my hand…a wheel? A handlebar? A
pram!
Through the Fire is a remarkable por-
trait of a profession defined by brav-
ery, high risk decisions and compas-
sion.
Dr. Sabrina Cohen-Hatton, 34, is one
of the most senior female fire officers
in the UK. She takes us into the world
of the firefighter, from high drama
situations to very human moments of
desperation and darkness. She writes
with great honesty about how, as a
woman, she has risen to such a high-
level position within the fire service
and how her research on high risk de-
cision making can teach us lessons
for our everyday lives. In a world
where bravery is needed more than
ever, she will show us how anyone
can step forward and be a rescuer.

ONE DAY IN BETHLEHEM
JONNY STEINBERG
1992: the South African security po-
lice bash down the door of a young
black man, Fusi Mofokeng, and lock
him in prison. At a subsequent trial,
he is convicted of murder. Six years
later, apartheid now over, the coun-
try's Truth and Reconciliation Com-
mission accept that Mofokeng is in-
nocent but cannot grant him amnesty
because according to them, he has
committed no crime. And so he was
committed to spending another
twelve years in prison for a murder
the world accepted he did not com-
mit.
Jonny Steinberg began working with
Mofokeng after his release in 2011. It
soon became apparent to Steinberg
that what happened in 1992 was un-
certain and that the memories of all
involved were unreliable.
One Day in Bethlehem is an intimate
portrait of an ordinary man swept into
the maelstrom of great historical
events and the moral implications of
what we remember and what we for-
get. Jonny Steinberg was born and
bred in South Africa. He is the author
of the critically acclaimed A Man of
Good Hope as well as Sizwe’s
Test. He teaches African Studies at
Oxford University.

THE LIBRARY OF ICE:
READINGS FROM A COLD CLIMATE
NANCY CAMPBELL
A vivid and perceptive book, The Li-
brary of Ice is about one of our
planet’s defining resources. It com-
bines scientific and cultural history
with memoir.
From the world’s northernmost mu-
seum in Greenland to the Prints &
Drawings Room of the British Mu-
seum via the ice houses of Calcutta
and ice hockey rinks of Dubai, Nancy
Campbell travels through remote arc-
tic communities and European ar-
chives, exploring ice in all its facets.
She investigates its impact on the
landscape and environment, its com-
position, and significance for science
and the arts, and its role in preserving
our own histories at a time when it is,
itself, diminishing.
The Library of Ice looks beyond the
shifting statistics of climate change
and news of retreating glaciers and
polar ice loss. At a time when the out-
look for our planet seems bleak,
Nancy discovers the riches that are
revealed as the ice retreats – from the
remains of our prehistoric ancestors
to the minerals that will fuel the next
phase of the global economy.
Nancy Campbell is an acclaimed
poet, writer and visual artist. She is
the author of the Forward Prize-
shortlisted poetry collection Disko
Bay.

BOMBAY LIEUTENANT
CATHY SCOTT-CLARK & ADRIAN LEVY
A non-fiction thriller set in India, Pa-
kistan and the Persian Gulf, Bombay
Lieutenant tells the story of Dawood
Ibrahim, the world’s wealthiest traf-
ficker, and funder of terrorist groups
all over the world. Just as the Netflix
series Narcos charted Pablo Esco-
bar’s rise from black marketer to co-
caine cartel boss, duelling with the
DEA and the Colombian military,
Bombay Lieutenant sees Dawood
switch from being a criminal instiga-
tor to a drug wholesaler. He then be-
comes the quartermaster for terrorist
outfits with rogue states as clients and
is pursued by both the CIA and Bom-
bay detectives.
The CIA recruited Dawood when he
was on the run in the eighties to facil-
itate drug and weapon deals for the
Agency’s long-distance wars. He
fooled his handlers, skipping away
with their tradecraft and contacts. A
skilled surveillance specialist
schooled in counter-intelligence,
Dawood built an airtight syndicate
underpinned by the CIA’s covert
playbook.
Cathy Scott-Clark and Adrian Levy
are two internationally renowned in-
vestigative journalists. They have co-
written the highly acclaimed books
The Exile: The Flight of Osama Bin
Laden, The Siege: 68 Hours in the Taj
Hotel (which was awarded the CWA

WILDING
ISABELLA TREE
'The remarkable story of an astounding transformation.' George Monbiot
Forced to accept that intensive farm-
ing on their land in West Sussex was
economically unsustainable, Isabella
Tree and her husband Charlie Burrell
made a spectacular leap of faith: they
decided to step back and let nature
take over. Thanks to the introduction
of free-roaming cattle, ponies, pigs
and deer – proxies of the large ani-
mals that once roamed Britain – the
3,500-acre project has seen extraordi-
nary increases in wildlife numbers
and diversity in little over a decade.
Part gripping memoir, part fascinat-
ing account of the ecology of our
countryside, Wilding is, above all, an
inspiring story of hope.
‘What a beautiful, timely and wise work!’ Tim Flannery, author of The Future-Eaters ‘Anyone with any interest in land –
from a window-box to a National
Park – needs to read this book.’
Simon Barnes, author of How to be a
Bad Birdwatcher
‘Wilding shows us what we have lost
and what we could regain if we
change our relationship with the
countryside.’

lands

HAUNTS OF THE BLACK MASSEUR:
THE SWIMMER AS HERO
CHARLES SPRAWSON
With a new introduction by Amy Liptrot.
A dazzling introduction to the great
swimming heroes, Haunts of the
Black Masseur takes us from Byron
leaping into the surf at Shelley’s fu-
neral to Hart Crane diving to his
death in the Bay of Mexico.
Bursting with anecdote, Charles
Sprawson leads us into a watery
world populated by lithe demi-gods –
a world that has obsessed humans
from the ancient Greeks and Romans
to Yeats, Woolf, Fitzgerald and
Hockney.
Original, enticing and dripping with
references to literature, film, art and
Olympic history, this cult swimming
classic pays sparkling tribute to water
and the cultural meanings we attach
to it. Charles Sprawson was born in
Pakistan and studied at Trinity Col-
lege, Dublin. He is an obsessional
swimmer and diver who has swum
the Hellespont.
‘This splendid and wholly original
book is as zestful as a plunge in
champagne.’ Iris Murdoch

swimming.’ The Guardian

IMMIGRANT, MONTANA
AMITAVA KUMAR
Meet Kailash. AKA Kalashni-
kov. Or AK-47. Or just plain AK. His
journey from India has taken him to
graduate school in New York where he
keeps falling in love: not only with
women, but with literature and radical
politics, the fuel of youthful exuber-
ance.
Each affair brings new learning: about
himself, about America, a country
founded on immigration, but a country
that is now unsure of the migrant's
place in the nation's fabric. How do you
educate yourself in belonging when
you are in a constant state of exile?
Amitava Kumar was born in Ara and
grew up in the nearby town of Patna.
He lives in upstate New York, where he
is Helen D. Lockwood Professor of
English at Vassar College.
‘A beguiling meditation on memory
and migration, sex and politics, ideas

freshing attention to detail, Immigrant,

THEN CAME THE FIRE
HANNAH KOHLER
Winner of the 2017 Eccles British Library Award
The California Gold Rush, 1850. The for-
midable Pearl Nye hides in a house she
knows is rightfully hers, frightened, alone,
her only companion Whip, a young boy,
nowhere to be found. Exhausted after the
long struggle to reach Wildwood, Califor-
nia from Chicago, her troubles are far from
over. After a long night defending her
home, haunted by the ghost of a friend who
didn’t survive the journey, she wakes to
find an accusation smeared in blood across
her door. The person she fears the most has
found her.
Then Came the Fire, epic in scope and rich
with adventure, tells the story of Pearl’s
struggle for sanctuary in a male-dominated,
violent landscape. At its heart, it is a female
focused retelling of a journey we know
well; of hopeful pioneers in wagons, heav-
ing their earthly possessions through hos-
tile landscapes defended by Native Ameri-
cans, across fast-running rivers and strug-
gling with the ever-present dangers of
drought and famine.
This is Hannah Kohler’s second novel. Her
debut novel The Outside Lands was pub-
lished to much acclaim. After studying
American Literature at Cambridge Univer-
sity, she completed the City University MA
in Creative Writing. She lives in London
with her husband and two children.

THE MELODY
JIM CRACE
Alfred Busi, famed in his town for his
music and songs, is mourning the re-
cent death of his wife and quietly living
out his days in the large villa he has al-
ways called home. Then, one night,
Busi is attacked by a creature he dis-
turbs as it raids the contents of his lar-
der. Busi is convinced that his assailant
was no animal, but a child, ‘innocent
and wild’, and his words fan the flames
of an old rumour – of an ancient race of
people living in the bosk surrounding
the town – and new controversy: the
town’s paupers, the feral wastrels at its
edges, must be dealt with once and for
all.
The Melody is a story about grief and
ageing, about reputation and the loss of
it, about love and music and the pecu-
liar way myth seeps into real life. It is a
political novel, too – a rallying cry to
protect those we persecute.
‘An ecological fable for modern times.’
Alexandra Harris, The Guardian
‘A lyrical and tender meditation on
marital love and loss that further se-
cures Crace’s position as one of Brit-
ain’s most distinctive and accom-
plished novelists.’
Doug Battersby, The Financial Times
‘The Melody is suffused with music,
from the title on down...’
Keith Miller, Literary Review
This is Jim Crace’s first novel since his
2013 Man Booker Shortlisted Harvest.

HAPPINESS
AMINATTA FORNA
‘A terrific novel.’ Salman Rushdie
London. A fox makes its way across
Waterloo Bridge. The distraction
causes two pedestrians to collide –
Jean, an American studying the habits
of urban foxes, and Attila, a Ghanaian
psychiatrist. From this chance encoun-
ter in the midst of the rush of a great
city lie numerous moments of connec-
tion.
Attila has arrived in London to deliver
a speech and to contact Ama, the
daughter of friends, who hasn’t called
home in a while. Ama has been swept
up in an immigration crackdown, and
now her young son Tano is missing.
When Attila runs into Jean again, she
mobilizes the network of rubbish men
she uses as volunteer fox spotters to
search for the boy. Security guards, ho-
tel doormen and traffic wardens come
together to help. As the search for the
boy continues, a deepening friendship
between Attila and Jean unfolds. In
this tale of love and loss, of cruelty and
kindness, we are asked to consider the
interconnectedness of lives, our co-ex-
istence with one another and all living
creatures, and the true nature of happi-
ness. Aminatta Forna is the award-win-
ning author of the novels The Hired
Man, The Memory of Love and Ances-
tor Stones, and the memoir The Devil
that Danced on the Water.

THE BOOK OF CHOCOLATE SAINTS
JEET THAYIL
Follow the unforgettable character
Xavier on his journey to salvation –
or damnation – or perhaps both.
Set in both Delhi and Manhattan, The
Book of Chocolate Saints explores
our deepest urges in a novel that is
sexy, dangerous, and entirely uncom-
promising. Jeet Thayil paints a hallu-
cinatory portrait of an ambiguous
soul: a self-destructive figure, a char-
ismatic contrarian, and a tortured art-
ist battling with his conflicting in-
stincts.
This is intoxicating, blazingly intelli-
gent literary fiction that will consoli-
date Jeet Thayil’s reputation as one of
the most accomplished writers of his
generation.
Jeet Thayil was born in India. His
first novel, Narcopolis, won the DSC
Prize for South Asian Literature 2012
and was a finalist for the Man Booker
Prize, the Man Asian Prize and the
Commonwealth Prize.
‘What marks The Book of Chocolate
Saints out as an unmissable read is its
concern not just with the more enter-
taining aspects of human behaviour –
the sinful, the grotesque and the pre-
posterous – but also with what is, or
could be, holy in our works.’

OR, A PORTRAIT OF THE WRITER AS A YOUNG
WIFE
MEENA KANDASAMY
Longlisted for: The Women’s Prize for Fiction 2018, The Dylan Thomas Prize 2018, The Jhalak Prize 2018.
Caught on the hook of love, a young
woman marries a dashing university
professor. She moves to a rain-
washed coastal town to be with him,
but behind closed doors, she discov-
ers that her perfect husband is a per-
fect monster. As he sets about batter-
ing her into obedience and devouring
her ambitions as a writer, and as her
family pressures her to stay in the
marriage, she swears to fight back – a
resistance that will either kill her or
set her free.
Meena Kandasamy is a poet, fiction
writer, translator and activist who
lives in London. She has published
two collections of poetry, Touch and
Ms. Militancy, and the critically ac-
claimed novel The Gypsy Goddess.

women are still shockingly underval-
ued.’

YOU CAN’T GO HOME AGAIN
SARVAT HASIN
This beautiful collection of connected
stories draws a powerful portrait of
young Pakistan, at home and across the
world.
A group of teenagers in a Karachi high
school put on a production of Arthur
Miller's The Crucible, but before open-
ing night, one of the students goes
missing. The incident sets off a ripple
effect, the young men and women
grow up together and fall apart,
haunted wherever they go by the trau-
mas of the past in these lyrical linked
stories.
As we move between Murree and New
York, a failed soap opera star marries
an unlikely man and spectres haunt
their modern of lives. Here is the real
Pakistan of Mohsin Hamid and Kamila
Shamsie, one generation younger.
Sarvat Hasin was born in London in
1991 and grew up in Karachi. Her short
stories, essays and poetry have ap-
peared widely in journals and antholo-
gies including The Mays Anthology,
Diverse Quarterly, Catweazle Maga-
zine and Dawn Newspaper. Her debut novel This Wide Night was published
