Prepare to dive into our honest, entertaining and at times shocking second Non-Fiction Book of the month, Careless People by Sarah Wynn-Williams.

In this candid memoir, the former Facebook employee lifts the lid on the ruthless and absurd world of the new tech elite and the enormous power they hold over us all. From wild schemes cooked up on private jets to risking prison abroad, Wynn-Williams exposes both the personal and political fallout when boundless power and a rotten culture take hold.

Perfect for fans of eye opening memoirs like The Trading Game by Gary Stevenson and Nobody’s Girl by Virginia Roberts Giuffre.

Both gripping and absurd, you won’t be able to put this one down!

A woman living in a remote Canadian cabin has her peace shattered when her estranged daughter arrives unannounced. With this intrusion, Abra is flooded with memories of the family she abandoned nine years ago. Gaining Ground is beautifully packaged rediscovered classic that explores the lives we live, questioning whether what we accept is what we deserve and whether wholeness can be found by going against the status-quo. With passages of contemplative mediation and gorgeous nature writing this novel is not one to be missed.

Staff recommendation: A Domestic Animal by Francis King. Here’s what Bookseller V has to say about it ‘An elegantly written, witty and painfully intimate study of desire and obsession, Francis King’s “A Domestic Animal” is the perfect anecdote to even the most toxic situationship. I laughed, welled up and winced. Top marks.’
