Perfect for fans of Downton Abbey, a beautifully atmospheric novel about an English country house & the people who inhabit it, upstairs & downstairs, over the course of 240 years. The house contains time. Its walls hold stories. Births & deaths, comings & goings, people & events passing through. For now, however, it lies suspended in a kind of emptiness, as if it has fallen asleep or someone has put it under a spell. This silence won't last: can't last. Something will have to be done. When brother & sister Charlie & Ros discover that they have inherited their aunt's much-loved house, they must decide if they should sell it. Moving back in time, in an interwoven narrative spanning two & a half centuries, we meet those who have built the house, lived in it & loved it, worked in it, & those who would subvert it to their own ends, including the original architect as he directs the building of the house, the big Victorian family who happily live there for forty years, the maid who thinks her problems will be solved if she steals a small bibelot, the soldiers who are billeted there during World War I, the speculator who holds a treasure hunt there during the Roaring Twenties, the young couple who restores it during the 1950s, & the house's final owner. A novel about people, architecture, & living history, Ashenden is an evocative portrait of a house that becomes a character as compelling as the people who inhabit it. ...

In Ashes of the Amazon, Milton Hatoum takes to heart Flaubert’s injunction to write ‘the moral history of his generation’, with extraordinary results. The book itself was longlisted for the *2010 IMPAC Prize*, & is the story of a long rebellion & the struggle to understand it. Mundo is a rebel – the embittered offshoot of a rich family, whose artistic vocation clashes with his father’s dynastic plans. Ashes of the Amazon charts his determined flight from the fraught centre of his family’s wealth – the Vila Amazonia plantation – through Rio de Janeiro, & then to the effervescent worlds of 1970s Berlin & London. This is a beautiful, mature & involving novel from one of the most important South American writers of his time. ...
