Roots from the Cotton Tree

In reality her boyfriend is a cheater, she hates her job, hasn't spoken to her uptight, white mother in years, or her absentee black father and, feels she doesn't fit in anywhere. A traumatic breakup leads to a family reconciliation and a realisation that her family is far from average and bigger than she knew. Sarah is disbelieving until she meets her father, Patrick, a shapeshifter and, his beautiful wife, Lajables. Sarah herself is a witch, carrying the blood of several types of preternatural beings, resulting in unpredictable emergent traits and behaviour. Her trusting nature and desire to be loved, means she repeatedly ignores advice about those who mean her harm.

You Took the Last Bus Home
You Took the Last Bus Home is the first and long-awaited collection of ingeniously hilarious and surprisingly touching poems from Brian Bilston, the mysterious ‘Poet Laureate of Twitter’. With endless wit, imaginative wordplay and underlying heartache, he offers profound insights into modern life, exploring themes as diverse as love, death, the inestimable value of a mobile phone charger, the unbearable torment of forgetting to put the rubbish out, and the improbable nuances of the English language. Constantly experimenting with literary form, Bilston’s words have been known to float off the page, take the shape of the subjects they explore, and reflect our contemporary world in the form of Excel spreadsheets, Venn diagrams and Scrabble tiles. This irresistibly charming collection of his best-loved poems will make you laugh out loud while making you question the very essence of the human condition in the twenty-first century.
O Positive
The long-awaited debut from the poet, novelist and journalist Joe Dunthorne. He was one of the most popular of our Faber New Poets (2010), and this collection has all the appeal of his acclaimed fiction: arch, playful and self-aware; truly funny and enviably cool.
