He is a university lecturer, she a lawyer, both comrades in the Struggle and now parents of children born in freedom. There is nothing so extraordinary about their lives, and yet, in telling their story, and the stories of their friends and families, Gordimer manages to capture the tortured, fragmented essence of a nation struggling to define itself in the post-apartheid world.

Two years ago, Caroline Carrington made the biggest mistake of her life; she rejected the man she loved. Now, she was back in London and ready to find a husband. But first, before proper Caroline did exactly what was expected of her, she wanted a little scandal, something to remember during her life as a perfect society wife.

A lifetime of watching her beautiful mother cater to the whims of the wealthy, titled patrons who owned her body and soul has soured Maive Barrington on men forever. She is grateful that she is too plain and too clever to attract the attention of the opposite sex. How ironic that desperation over the mountain of debts she inherits when her mother dies forces her to accept the offer of a small fortune to impersonate her missing twin at her betrothal ball. For it is at this ball that the kiss of the prospective bridegroom miraculously awakens all the sleeping passion hidden deep inside her ...

The unscrupulous Earl of Stratham has offered his illegitimate son Liam a generous inheritance -- if Liam marries the noble Lady Alexandra Henning. But an arranged marriage is an affront to Alexandra's romantic sensibilities -- unless Liam can find a way to her heart -- and perhaps open his own as well.

Jenny's life sucks. A low-paid job as a room service waiter at a swank hotel. An unemployed, live-in boyfriend who argues about everything. The guests at Friday night's private party in the Jefferson Suite occupy a different world. Eight wealthy, elite socialites in expensive evening gowns. Lead by the most beautiful of all, Lady Alyssa. The reincarnation of Marie Antoinette. And one man. Egon. For Jenny, the pinnacle of masculine attractiveness. Handsome as a movie star. Broad shoulders. Powerful chest. Flat, ribbed abdomen. Narrow waist. A bodybuilder preppie. Small wonder he can handle eight debutantes by himself.

Twenty-five years ago, DCI Harry Rhimes arrested Andrew Streeter for the brutal murders of five young people. Streeter’s ‘kill list’ of victims was found in his home, and he was convicted of all five crimes. Now, Streeter’s convictions are being overturned, as new evidence implies the original investigation was corrupt. No one is more shocked that DI Henley. Because this case is personal; Rhimes was her old boss, and he’s no longer alive to defend himself. But when the killings start up again, Henley must face the truth: Rhimes got it wrong twenty-five years ago.

When twelve-year-old Estie is expelled from school, she's sent to stay with her aunt in Scotland over the summer. Even though Estie knows what she did was right.

But when she comes across an intricately folded paper bird with a secret message written inside - a message from someone desperate to tell their own unbelieved story - a chord is struck, and Estie can't help but follow the clues to the next piece of artwork.

From the humiliation of Liz Truss’s 49-day premiership to the shameful, self-serving drift of Rishi Sunak’s time in office, Downfall is the story of a political party on the verge of extinction. Picking up on the events that followed The Plot, Nadine Dorries draws on interviews with those in the room to expose what really went on behind the scenes. From group sex sessions organised via WhatsApp and held between late night votes in a certain office in Portcullis House to the King being stood up at the Privy Council, the accounts are raw, unvarnished and brutal.
