‘TURKEY: A SHORT HISTORY’

New from historian Norman Stone, who has lived and worked in the country since 1997, comes this concise survey of Turkey’s relations with its neighbors and the wider world from the 11th century to the present day. Stone deftly conducts the reader through this story, from the arrival of the Seljuks in Anatolia in the 11th century to the modern republic applying for EU membership in the 21st.

‘SO MUCH FOR THAT’

Shepherd Knacker has been saving all his life for a one-way ticket away from the daily grind. When he sells his business for $1 million, “the afterlife” seems tantalizingly within reach. Yet his wife has concocted one reason after another why now isn’t the time to go. Illustrating how a marriage is both stressed and strengthened by crisis, Shriver asks the question: How much is one life worth?

Its written by Lionel Shriver.

‘THE PINDAR DIAMOND’

In a small town on the Italian coast, a mysterious woman washes ashore. She is crippled, mute, and clutches a bundle to her chest -- a baby the townspeople insist is a real-life mermaid. It can only bring bad luck; they pay a troupe of acrobats to carry mother and child away. A tale of love and avarice, with a touch of the mystical, unfolds with urgency and grace. by KATIE HICKMAN
