KARIN SCHERER
EDMUND DE WAAL
The White Road
£20
Acclaimed writer and potter
Edmund de Waal sets out
on a pilgrimage to tell the
story of a global obsession
with white porcelain. The
journey begins in China, the
birthplace of porcelain and
takes in Venice, Versailles,
Dublin, Dresden, South
Carolina and the English
South-West. What makes
it special is the marvellous
interlocking of creation and
inspiration. Spellbinding. As
luminous and translucent as
the material itself.
SEBASTIAN FAULKS

ROBERT HARRIS
The Dictator
£20
YOTTAM OTTOLENGHI &
RAMAEL SCULLY
Nopi: The Cookbook
£28
ANDREA CAMILLERI
Blade of Light
£16.99
I didn’t just like this book, I
adored it. Faulks is brilliant
in his depictions of people
in wars – ‘Birdsong’ for the
First World War, this for the
Second. Essentially an
English doctor, Robert
Hendricks and his host,
Alexander Pereira explore
how we perceive events – is
it the event itself or the way
an individual chooses to
remember it? An ambitious
but profoundly moving book.
This is the long-awaited
final volume of the riveting
Cicero Trilogy. Marcus Cicero
is exiled with his faithful
secretary Tiro, separated from
his wife and children, his
possessions confiscated and
his life in constant danger.
‘Dictator’ encompasses some
of the most epic events in
human history: the collapse
of the Roman republic, the
subsequent tumultuous civil
war, the murder of Pompey
and the assassination of Julius
Caesar. A tour de force.
TO M N I N D
MARY BEARD
SPQR: A History of Ancient
Rome £25
Professor Beard is quite rightly
one the most admired dons
of our times, and in ‘SPQR’
she gives us a new and
enlightening perspective on
life in ancient Rome across
1000 years. In this, as always,
excellent book Beard not
only looks at how the Roman
Empire grew, but also gives us
insights on numerous aspects
of the daily life of the Senatus
Populus que Romanus.
10
This beautiful book from
Nopi’s chef-patron and head
chef contains a range of
over 120 dishes that will be
loved by the regulars ‘north
of Piccadilly’ and those that
love Ottolenghi. With recipes
that vary in their degree of
complexity, though all within
the capability of the home
cook, this book inspires,
challenges and delights.
The 19th instalment in
the fantastic Inspector
Montalbano mysteries from
phenomenally successful
Andrea Camilleri. In ‘Blade
of Light’ Montalbano faces
reports of armed robbery, a
suspected mafia hit and a
case involving anti-terrorist
police that seems connected
to him somehow. In the face
of many challenges Inspector
Montalbano must focus if he
is going to solve this mystery.
C L E M M I E J AC K S O N - S TO P S
HANYA YANAGIHARA
Little Life £16.99
She sadly missed out on
the Booker but this is still
the work of a major new
US novelist. The tale of
four classmates who move
to New York to make their
way. Over the decades their
relationships deepen and
darken. At the centre of it
all is the increasingly broken
character of Jude. Disturbing
and life-changing read.

NIALL FERGUSON
Kissinger 1923-1968
£35
Inhabiting the same world as
his Booker shortlisted ‘The
Bone Clocks’, this unusually
short novel will keep you
rooted to your seat from start
to finish. Begun as a short
story experiment on Twitter,
Mitchell claims to have been
ambushed by this terrifyingly
spooky tale. His fans will
love it.
Perfect for anyone who loves
gardens, the most beautiful
publication we have seen this
year. Featuring 35 English
private gardens, described by
their owners, and stunningly
photographed, many for the
first time. The standard of
production is very high, as
it should be for a book this
price. In my view well worth it.
A N D R E W T U RTO N
TESSA HADLEY
The Past £16.99
A beautifully-crafted story
of three sisters and a
brother meeting at their
grandparent’s old house,
over three long summer
weeks. Although set mainly
in the present, it is their
reflections on the past that
shape our sympathies and
attitudes. Emotions simmer
close to the surface in this
novel that marks Hadley out
as a truly gifted novelist.
As long-time economics
editor of ‘The Sunday Times’,
Smith has been close to
the movers and shakers
responsible for the ups
and downs of the British
economy. Looking back on
his beginnings in the Black
Country in the 60’s, he charts
his own life’s path alongside
the often turbulent events in
our economy over 50 years.
Exposing the myths
surrounding the French
Resistance, this wellresearched book gives us a
moving account of its history.
Who were these heroic
fighters and why did they
take such risks? Focuses on
individual acts of courage, as
well as the tensions around
the question of who was to
lead France.
NICKY DUNNE
CHARLES MOORE
Margaret Thatcher: Volume
II. Everything She Wants
£30
We are now two thirds of the
way through what is going
to be considered one of the
most important biographical
achievements of the century. I
was gripped by the first book
but this triumphant second
volume is equally rewarding,
if not more so. The great sheelephant in her prime.
I read this in one delayedaeroplane sitting. Another
challenging but wildly
exhilarating dystopian tale.
Like no other novelist, and
with electrifying prose, he
fearlessly explores identity
politics within French society
set against the backdrop of
extremist Islam. If you want
something stimulating, this
will not disappoint.
Kissinger’s stature and
influence is laid bare, as
Ferguson traces the rise,
fall and revival of this gifted
man and his exceptional
story. A riveting biographical
achievement to sit alongside
Caro’s in the light it shines
across every vista of
American life in the c20th as
experienced by one man.
