Source: Review copyPublication day :12 February 2026 from Orenda BooksPP: 296ISBN-13:978-1917764421 My thanks to Orenda Books for an advance copy for review With a nature as wild as the moors she loves to roam, Catherine Earnshaw grows up alongside Heathcliff, a foundling her father rescued from the streets of Liverpool. Their fierce, untamed bond deepens as they grow ā until Mr Earnshawās death leaves Hindley, Catherineās brutal brother, in control and Heathcliff reduced to servitude.

The Cut Up (Rilke #3) by Louse WelshĀ @louisewelsh00 @CanongateBooks @NormanTweetsĀ @RandomTTours
Source: Review copyPublication: 29 January 2026 from Canongate BooksPP: 320ISBN-13:978-1838859862 It's hard to be good when living is expensive. And times are tough on the streets these days. Luckily for Rilke at Bowery Auctions the demand for no-questions-asked cash is at an all-time high, and business is booming. When Rilke hears his old acquaintance Les is fresh out of prison, his inclination is to stay well out of his way.

Source: Review copyPublication: 22 January 2026 from Hodder and StoughtonPP: 336ISBN-13: 978-1399747851 My thanks to Hodder Books for an advance copy for review India, 1951. After wilfully ignoring orders, Persis Wadia, India's first female police detective, is exiled from Bombay to the wild and mountainous Naga Hills District. As India's first post-Independence election looms, and tensions rise across the country, Persis finds herself banished to the Hotel Victoria, a crumbling colonial-era relic, her career in tatters.
