Beautiful turquoise Hamish Hamilton edition of Nancy Mitford’s Love in a Cold Climate… One to read and re-read. Preferably in the bath whilst sipping a gin and tonic.

The UK edition of the amazingly reviewed The Newlyweds comes out at the beginning of August - to get you in the mood, this audio extract’s a lovely introduction to the book!
The novel follows Amina, who moves from Bangladesh to Rochester, New York, to marry George, a seemingly steady, home-owning engineer, who has wooed her online. This clip gives a sense of Amina’s background, and the mix of culture shock and hope for a Bangladeshi arriving in Rochester.
The Booker- Prize winning author Pat Barker dropped by the office to give us an exclusive first insight into her new novel, Toby’s Room. Returning to the First World War this is a dark, compelling novel of human desire, wartime horror and the power of friendship. Pick it up from Hamish Hamilton from 30th August.

How to Open a New Book
Our friends across the pond are falling over themselves to tell the world just how straight-up great Nell Freudenberger’s The Newlyweds is. As man main Ron Charles says in the Washington Post it’s ‘a delight, one of the easiest book recommendations of the year’. So consider this our recommendation to you to pick up a copy when it’s out in August.
What’s the opposite of the joy of a beautiful finished copy of The Old Ways fresh from the printers? The woe of a proof copy of Pat Barker’s amazing new novel,Toby’s Room arriving from the printers…a little less than beautiful. Appears that their cutter might have gone a bit rogue…
