    The Pisces
    LONGLISTED FOR THE WOMEN'S PRIZE FOR FICTION 2019 'Of all the books that I read this summer I think this was my absolute favourite. It really blew me away' DOLLY ALDERTON 'Frank, provocative and brilliant' INDEPENDENT 'Utterly mesmerising' TATLER 'Hilarious, poignant, sexy. A brilliant story about why we crave connection and how to find ourselves' ELLE 'Laugh-out-loud funny' i CHOSEN AS A SUMMER READ BY TATLER, THE TIMES, ELLE AND YOU MAGAZINE Lucy has been writing her dissertation for nine years when she and her boyfriend have a dramatic break up. After she hits rock bottom, her sister in Los Angeles insists that Lucy dog-sit for the summer. Staying in a gorgeous house on Venice Beach, Lucy can find little relief from her anxiety - not in the Greek chorus of women in her love addiction therapy group, not in her frequent Tinder excursions, not even in Dominic the dog's easy affection. Everything changes when she becomes entranced by an eerily attractive swimmer while sitting alone on the beach rocks one night. But when Lucy learns the truth about his identity, their relationship, and Lucy's understanding of what love should look like, take a very unexpected turn.

    First Time for Everything
    *Don't miss the unflinchingly honest, wickedly funny debut from Henry Fry - coming soon!* Danny Scudd is absolutely fine. At twenty-seven years old he's finally moved to London and escaped his parents' tiny fish and chip shop, his beloved collection of house plants are thriving and every Monday evening he has a date night with his boyfriend, Tobbs. But Danny's life is thrown into chaos when he discovers at an STI clinic that Tobbs might be cheating on him. And then he - and his plants - are unceremoniously evicted from his London flat. So, he's forced to move in with his best friend Jacob, a non-binary artiste who Danny's known since childhood. For the first time, and with the help of his inscrutable therapist and colourful new flatmates, Danny realises how little he knows about himself - and slowly starts to question whether he is fine, after all... An honest, hilarious and wickedly smart drama comedy about a young, shy, gay man who's made it through life by not really interacting with his sexuality. Perfect for fans of Ghosts by Dolly Alderton, Insatiable by Daisy Buchanan and How Do You Like Me Now? by Holly Bourne.

    The future is female!
    Die Welt, in der Frauen heute leben, ist trotz #MeToo und immer größer werdenden öffentlichen Protesten gegen die Geschlechterungleichheit noch immer massiv vom Gender Pay Gap, der Sehnsucht nach dem perfekten Bikinibody und Mansplaining definiert. »The future is female! Was Frauen über Feminismus denken« ist das Buch für Mädchen und Frauen, die sich mit diesem ungenießbaren Cocktail nicht länger zufriedengeben wollen, eine einzigartige und vielstimmige Textsammlung. Frauen von der Hollywood-Ikone bis zur Teenie-Aktivistin erzählen darin ihre ganz persönliche Geschichte; alle Geschichten zusammengenommen entwickeln eine Kraft, die die alte Welt aus den Angeln heben kann und dem F-Wort einen ganz neuen Glanz verleiht. Der Feminismus von heute definiert sich über das Dafür und Miteinander und nicht ewig gestrig über das Dagegen, er ist eine unwiderstehliche Notwendigkeit - und jede Einzelne von uns gehört dazu! Herausgeberin von »The future is female« ist die britische Style-Kolumnistin und Pink-Protest-Gründerin Scarlett Curtis; das Buch wird zeitgleich mit der britischen und der amerikanischen Ausgabe zum International Girls' Day am 11.10.2018 erscheinen. Beiträgerinnen sind unter anderem: Emma Watson - Keira Knightley - Bridget Jones (von Helen Fielding) - Saoirse Ronan - Dolly Alderton - Jameela Jamil - Kat Dennings - Rhyannon Styles und viele mehr. Außerdem exklusiv in der deutschen Ausgabe: Essays von Katrin Bauerfeind - Karla Paul - Tijen Onaran - Fränzi Kühne - Milena Glimbovski - Stefanie Lohaus. »Brillant, witzig, wahrhaftig. Diese Essays werfen ein strahlendes Licht auf den Weg zukünftiger Frauengenerationen.« Reese Witherspoon

    Conversations on Love
    *THE TOP 10 SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER* 'This book might just change your life' Sunday Times 'Wise, wonderful, moving and brilliant... will leave your heart in a much better place' Stylist After years of feeling that love was always out of reach, journalist Natasha Lunn set out to understand how relationships work and evolve over a lifetime. She turned to authors and experts to learn about their experiences, as well as drawing on her own, asking: How do we find love? How do we sustain it? And how do we survive when we lose it? In Conversations on Love she began to find the answers: Philippa Perry on falling in love slowly Dolly Alderton on vulnerability Stephen Grosz on accepting change Candice Carty-Williams on friendship Lisa Taddeo on the loneliness of loss Diana Evans on parenthood Emily Nagoski on the science of sex Alain de Botton on the psychology of being alone Esther Perel on unrealistic expectations Roxane Gay on redefining romance and many more...

    The Authority Gap
    *A WATERSTONES 'BEST POLITICAL BOOK OF THE YEAR'* *A TIMES 'BEST PHILOSOPHY AND IDEAS' BOOK OF 2021* *A GUARDIAN 'BEST POLITICS BOOKS OF THE YEAR'* 'A brilliant manifesto explaining why women are still so underestimated and overlooked in today's world, but how we can also be hopeful for change' - Philippa Perry 'An impassioned, meticulously argued and optimistic call to arms for anyone who cares about creating a fairer society' - Observer __________ Imagine living in a world in which you were routinely patronised by women. Imagine having your views ignored or your expertise frequently challenged by them. Imagine people always addressing the woman you are with before you. Now imagine a world in which the reverse of this is true. The Authority Gap provides a startling perspective on the unseen bias at work in our everyday lives, to reveal the scale of the gap that still persists between men and women. Would you believe that US Supreme Court Justices are interrupted four times more often than male ones... 96% of the time by men? Or that British parents, when asked to estimate their child's IQ will place their son at 115 and their daughter at 107? Marshalling a wealth of data with precision and insight, and including interviews with pioneering women such as Baroness Hale, Mary Beard and Bernadine Evaristo, Mary Ann exposes unconscious bias in this fresh feminist take on how to address and counteract systemic sexism in ways that benefit us all. Includes interviews with pioneering women such as: Baroness Hale Mary Beard Bernadine Evaristo Mary McAleese Julia Gillard Dolly Alderton and Pandora Sykes Cherie Blair Liz Truss Amber Rudd Frances Morris Laura Bates __________ 'Hugely exciting' - Emily Maitlis 'Deeply researched, profoundly thoughtful and a book very much for the here and now: Mary Ann Sieghart's The Authority Gap is the book she was probably born to write' - Andrew Marr 'At last here is a credible roadmap that is capable of taking women from the margins to the centre by bridging the authority gap that holds back even the best and most talented of women.' - Mary McAleese, Former President of Ireland
