Under a deluge in the French countryside, Elisa Shua Dusapin’s new novel carries a tone of mystery and uneasy nostalgia as sisters Agathe and Véra reunite for the first time in fifteen years to empty their late father’s home.
Unfurling over several days, this is a tender, bittersweet story of sibling rivalry and the ghosts of memory, which will undoubtedly haunt readers long after the final page is turned.

At the turn of the millennium, Indian novelist Anuradha Roy and her husband stumbled upon a derelict cottage in rural Ranikhet, in the foothills of the Himalaya. Shortly afterwards they gave up their life in Delhi and have lived in this ancient and untamed paradise ever since, where leopards roam freely in the forests. This is a tender and intimate account of making a home and being welcomed into a community in one of the most extraordinary landscapes on earth.

Called by the Hills is the first book of the new year from Daunt Books Publishing and includes beautiful watercolour illustrations by the author.
Rutger Bregman, who presented the excellent 2025 BBC Reith Lectures stopped by this week to sign copies of his latest book, Moral Ambition.

Every day we’re bombarded with methods, mantras and life hacks that promise us wellness and prosperity – while time and talent remain some of our most squandered resources.

Uncovering the qualities that made the great change-makers of history so effective, Bregman shows how we too can lend our talents to the biggest challenges of our time, from climate change to inequality to the next pandemic.
Revolutions are generally considered fleeting affairs but in this groundbreaking new history, Donald Sassoon explores the ripple effect of these explosive events and how they may take years to burn out, if indeed they ever do.

Sassoon’s rich and illuminating book unpacks seismic shifts in power, spanning the English Civil War, the unprecedented instability following the French Revolution, the unification of Germany and Italy and Mao’s Long March. It calls us to look at revolutions anew, alongside their myriad consequences. #bookoftheweek
Often compared to Thomas Mann and Hans Fallada, Ulrich Alexander Boschwitz is best known for his novel The Passenger, published in 1939. However his first novel, Berlin Shuffle, brings to life the hedonism and political chaos of 1920s Berlin. Featuring a sensational cast of characters on the fringes of society, this darkly comic tale brilliantly captures a great city’s descent towards fascism. #bookoftheweek
After suffering a life-changing brain injury, twenty year old Jago Trevarno goes to stay with his uncle on his Cornish farm. But this idyll and his recovery is threatened by local provocateur, Bill Sligo, who has designs on the family farm and the derelict mineshaft buried beneath their land. How far will he go to get it and can Jago stop him?

Charnley’s life-affirming debut novel mixes the tension of a thriller and the tender resilience of recovery with the beauty of the Cornish landscape. #bookoftheweek
Frank Bridge walked away from his gangland family decades ago; his brother Gordon fled the country to Andalusia and disappeared without a trace. Following the death of their ruthless father, the gang’s patriarch, Frank seeks to find his lost brother but whether the reunion will prompt a truce or a retaliation hangs in the balance.

The Dead Don’t Bleed, Neil Rollinson’s debut novel, is a startlingly taut, introspective thriller, a gripping tale of fraternal rivalry played out in the barren lands of southern Spain.
#bookoftheweek
On the last day of the year, two of our booksellers wanted to highlight their favourite books of 2025.

Monica’s choice is Perspectives by Laurent Binet: ‘Perspectives begins in Florence, New Year’s Day 1557. As dawn breaks, a painter is discovered lying on the floor of a church, stabbed through the heart. As the city erupts in chaos, Giorgio Vasari, the great art historian, is picked to lead the investigation.’

Thomas’ choice is The Gods of New York: ‘A rich and expertly-paced history of New York City in the late ‘80s which captures the big beasts - Trump, Giuliani, Sharpton etc - in their pomp.’
Wishing you all a very Merry Christmas from all of us here at Daunt Books.
