We are back with our Book Of The Week 🧡

Ghost-Eye by Amitav Ghosh 👀

A luminous new work from one of the most important contemporary voices in literature, Ghost-Eye weaves together history, myth, and memory with Ghosh’s signature depth and clarity.

A psychiatrist investigates a three-year-old vegetarian’s past-life memories of catching fish, linking 1960s Calcutta to present-day Brooklyn through family secrets and environmental activism.

Set against richly layered landscapes, it explores the lingering traces of empire, identity, and the unseen forces that shape our world. Magical realism meets 1960s India.

Available in-store or to order, with delivery straight to your door ✨
