It’s a big week for new releases! From the wonderful Maggie O’Farrell - author of Hamnet and The Marriage Portrait - comes Land, a multigenerational epic of loss, hope and reunion. Set in Ireland in the late 1800s, it’s the story of a father and son charged with mapping the whole of Ireland.

From : “Land is a story of buried treasure, overlapping lives, ancient woodland, persistent ghosts, a particularly loyal dog, and how, when it comes to both land and history, nothing ever goes away.” Well done

Rush in, readers… and did we mention we’re open every day over the long weekend? See you soon

Douglas Stuart, Booker Prize-winning author of Shuggie Bain and Young Mungo, has published a new novel, John of John.

Fans probably don’t need anymore information!

For those who haven’t yet had the pleasure: “John of John is a vivid, moving and beautifully crafted novel following a young man returning to his Hebridean island home, a portrait of a close-knit community and a fraying family, of a father’s expectations and a son’s desires.”
