We are over the moon that THE PROMISE is long list

We are over the moon that THE PROMISE is long listed for the #2021BookerPrize. Bravo Damon and all the other longlisted authors for earning a spot in this incredible stack 💫🎉🎊

Damon was previously shortlisted in 2006 for THE GOOD DOCTOR and in 2010 for IN A STRANGE ROOM. The judges comment that:

‘The Promise is a testament to the flourishing of the novel in the 21st century. Here, nothing is as it seems. The standard narrative logic of an omniscient narrator is here expanded and reinvented to create an eye so intrusive its gaze is totally untrammelled. It is through these eyes that the fate or a white South African family burdened with old lives, old wounds, crimes against humanity, dark history, and misreckonings, become, cumulatively, the fate of South Africa itself.’

We are so proud to represent these two joyous book

We are so proud to represent these two joyous books on the healing power of nature 🍃

🌾 Everybody Needs Beauty by @samlwalton is published by @bloomsburypublishing today! This lucid and thoughtful exploration of the valuable effects of the natural world on health will change the way you think about ‘the nature cure’. Lara Maiklem, author of Mudlarking, calls it ‘impeccably researched’ and ‘a call to us all to find a place within the simplicity and complexity of nature’.

🌾 The Well Gardened Mind by @suestuartsmith came out in paperback in April and is published by @harpercollinsuk. It was named a Times Best Book of 2020 for its uplifting and fascinating look at how our mental health is affected by the natural world. Combing contemporary neuroscience, psychoanalysis and brilliant storytelling, The Well Gardened Mind is a gardening book like no other.

Both these titles are available to buy on @bookshop_org_uk.

HOW TO LOVE ANIMALS is published today in the US b

HOW TO LOVE ANIMALS is published today in the US by @vikingbooks 🐕

We all love animals, but does that make their lives happier?

With factory farms, climate change and deforestation, this might be the worst time in history to be an animal. In an age of extinction and pandemics, our relationship with the other species on our planet has become unsustainable. What if we took animals' experiences seriously - how would we eat, think and live differently?

Henry Mance sets out on a personal quest to see if there is a fairer way to live alongside other species. He goes to work in an abattoir and on a farm to investigate the reality of eating meat and dairy. He explores our dilemmas around hunting wild animals, over-fishing the seas, visiting zoos, saving wild spaces and owning pets. He meets the chefs, farmers, activists, philosophers, scientists and tech visionaries who are redefining how we think about animals.

Behind-the-scenes peek at our newly organised book

Behind-the-scenes peek at our newly organised bookshelves in the office meeting room which were tidied by our amazing new mentee, Niktaa (aka FBA’s answer to Marie Kondo) 📚

Between reading submissions and introductory meetings with the agents, Niktaa put all the books in alphabetical order and set up a display in the middle. The shelves now showcase the breadth and range of the books we represent, from Rosamunde Pilcher’s classic THE SHELL SEEKERS to recent hits such as Richard Ovenden’s Wolfson Prize shortlisted BURNING THE BOOKS.

London-based readers, hurry on down to @bookbaruk,

London-based readers, hurry on down to @bookbaruk, @ink84books, @dauntbooks and @waterstones_islington where you can find beautiful signed copies of @melody_razak’s book Moth! The perfect opportunity to support a local independent while nabbing yourself one of the most sought after books of the summer ✨

Vibrant and richly evocative, Moth transports us to partition-era Delhi where a wonderful family we come to love are one day violently torn apart. Described by Sarah Winman as ‘one of the best debuts I’ve ever read’, Melody Razak introduces us to an unforgettable cast of characters while powerfully exploring the horrors of partition.
