THE FOX IN THE ATTIC / Richard Hughes
‘In scope and ambition challenges War and Peace... The Fox in the Attic bears the hall-mark of a masterpiece.’ Financial Times
‘[A] magnificent, authoritative, compassionate, ironic, funny, and tragic book..’ Times Literary Supplement
From the author of the classic High Wind in Jamaica, The Fox in the Attic is both a haunting tale of unrequited love, and a remarkable crystallisation of a singular moment in history. Recording the moment when Germany teetered on the brink of Nazism – the pause before the thunderous fall – Hughes’ prose captures both the full weight of inevitability, and the full weight of first love.

CHOWRINGHEE / Sankar
‘I lost myself in it for days... A wonderful experience - both gripping and moving.’ Vikram Seth, author of A Suitable Boy
‘Chowringhee is one of those novels you don’t want to end. Vikas Swarup, author of Slumdog Millionaire
‘A delight – a wonderful sprawling saga.’ Monica Ali
Welcome to the Shahjahan, one of Calcutta’s oldest and most venerable hotels. Meet its newest receptionist and hear of the people who spend their days and nights behind the Shahjahan’s grand façade, a world where greed, seduction and death coexist with love, luxury and pride. Chowringhee reveals an irresistible vision of a lost – and loved – metropolis, a homage to an old India of myth and memory.
