Have you discovered Palestinian human rights lawyer and award-winning writer Raja Shehadeh yet? In his latest memoir, he explores his relationship with his father through the prism of Palestinian history.

Aziz Shehadeh was many things: lawyer, activist, and political detainee, he was also the father of bestselling author and activist Raja. In this new and searingly personal memoir, Raja Shehadeh unpicks the snags and complexities of their relationship.

A vocal and fearless opponent, Aziz resists under the British mandatory period, then under Jordan, and, finally, under Israel. As a young man, Raja fails to recognise his father's courage and, in turn, his father does not appreciate Raja's own efforts in campaigning for Palestinian human rights. When Aziz is murdered in 1985, it changes Raja irrevocably.

This is not only the story of the battle against the various oppressors of the Palestinians, but a moving portrait of a particular father and son relationship.

A city struggling with the cost of its appetites. A rubbish mountain eighteen stories high. And the people who call it home.

'If you read one book about India, read this one.' Geeta Anand, Pulitzer Prize-winner and author of The Cure

All of Mumbai's memories and castaway possessions come to die at the Deonar garbage mountains. And among these vast, teetering piles of discarded things - medical waste, rotten food, old clothes, broken glass and twisted metal - a small, forgotten community lives and works. Scouring the dump for whatever can be resold or recycled, waste pickers also mark the familiar milestones of babies born, love found, illnesses suffered and recovered from. Like a mirror image, their stories are shaped by the influx of unwanted things from the world outside.

But now, as Deonar's toxic halo becomes undeniable, a change is coming. And as officials try to close it, the lives that the pickers have built on the Mountain seem more fragile than ever.

Last week in London! The Daily Laws: In Conversation saw a very special event with our international, New York Times bestselling author of The 48 Laws Of Power @robertgreeneofficial & renowned British lyricist @potterpayperhimself on the way power & influence comes to bear on their lives & how they harness strategies inside & beyond the boardroom.

The Daily Laws distills Greene’s wisdom into every aspect of being human, whether that be getting what you want, understanding others’ motivations, mastering your impulses, and recognising strengths and weaknesses.

Potter’s interview found much common ground, and the celebrated lyricist delivered reflections on the books alongside some laws of his own.

Thank you to the man @potterpayperhimself and all our partners for crafting this one-off, exclusive evening with us.

Full footage to come … watch this space.

It's here: the perfect gift for the bibliofile you hold dear 💌

'Subversive, brilliant and beautifully written' - Sarah Moss

Romantic love was born alongside the novel, and books have been shaping how we experience and think about our most intimate stories ever since. But what do novels give us when our own lives diverge from the usual narrative paths?

Christina is a professor used to examining stories with a critical eye; until one day in middle age she finds herself falling in love and leaving her marriage for a romance with another woman. This involves a familiar enough tale, but when her new partner suffers a stroke, Tina begins to reflect on the sorts of love that novels rarely capture.

A mix of memoir, criticism and storytelling that draws on novels ranging from Pride and Prejudice to Price of Salt, Anna Karenina to Conversations with Friends, to illuminate the ways love and novels work, and show how some types of love, which don't race to a narrative end-point, might be the most important of all.

Out this Thursday 💘📚
