An exquisitely moving story about grief, love and family, from the global phenomenon Sally Rooney.From the author of the multimillion-copy bestseller Normal People, an exquisitely moving story about grief, love and family. Aside from the fact that they are brothers, Peter and Ivan Koubek seem to have little in common.Peter is a Dublin lawyer in his thirties - successful, competent and apparently unassailable. But in the wake of their father's death, he's medicating himself to sleep and struggling to manage his relationships with two very different women - his enduring first love Sylvia, and Naomi, a college student for whom life is one long joke.Ivan is a twenty-two-year-old competitive chess player. He has always seen himself as socially awkward, a loner, the antithesis of his glib elder brother. Now, in the early weeks of his bereavement, Ivan meets Margaret, an older woman emerging from her own turbulent past, and their lives become rapidly and intensely intertwined.For two grieving brothers and the people they love, this is a new interlude - a period of desire, despair and possibility - a chance to find out how much one life might hold inside itself without breaking.

Entre o lume do val e as néboas da serra, algo se revolve nas entrañas da Galicia máis feroz e descarnada. Unha serie atroz de asasinatos espertará a memoria dun nome perdido no tempo e, como nun segredo que se comparte en voz baixa, un temor comezara a repetirse nos rumores: Volveu o Sacauntos.... Onde nacen as bestas e unha novela sobre o lado salvaxe do noso propio ser, onde a montaña marca as personalidades dos seus habitantes e a piedade pode desaparecer en calquera momento. Unha historia cunha atmosfera densa e inquietante, onde as fronteiras entre o cotian e o imaxinario se cruzan e mesturan ata facer imposible distinguir que e real e que lenda. Pedro Feijoo mergullanos nunha historia de violencia ancestral, silencios familiares e identidades ocultas. Un thriller apaixonante que explora os recunchos mais escuros da natureza humana, onde todos gardamos os nosos segredos e nada e o que parece. Ou, se cadra, si.

WINNER OF WATERSTONES BOOK OF THE YEAR 2024 SHORTLISTED FOR THE BRITISH BOOK AWARDS DEBUT NOVEL OF THE YEAR 2025 THE NUMBER 1 SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER A BBC BETWEEN THE COVERS BOOK CLUB PICK A full-fat, Michelin-starred treat THE SUNDAY TIMES ''I have been glued to Asako Yuzuki''s new novel Butter NIGEL SLATER The cult Japanese bestseller about a female gourmet cook and serial killer and the journalist intent on cracking her case, inspired by a true story, and translated by Polly Barton. There are two things that I can simply not tolerate: feminists and margarine. Gourmet cook Manako Kajii sits in Tokyo Detention Centre convicted of the serial murders of lonely businessmen, who she is said to have seduced with her delicious home cooking. The case has captured the nations imagination but Kajii refuses to speak with the press, entertaining no visitors. That is, until journalist Rika Machida writes a letter asking for her recipe for beef stew and Kajii cant resist writing back. Rika, the only woman in her news office, works late each night, rarely cooking more than ramen. As the visits unfold between her and the steely Kajii, they are closer to a masterclass in food than journalistic research. Rika hopes this gastronomic exchange will help her soften Kajii but it seems that she might be the one changing. With each meal she eats, something is awakening in her body, might she and Kaji have more in common than she once thought? Inspired by the real case of the convicted con woman and serial killer, "The Konkatsu Killer", Asako Yuzukis Butter is a vivid, unsettling exploration of misogyny, obsession, romance and the transgressive pleasures of food in Japan.
