With the Stella Prize due to be announced tomorrow (hurrah!) it feels only fitting that our top seller for last week should be by a woman. If you haven’t yet read Donna Tartt’s The Goldfinch - a haunted odyssey through present-day America - then the coming wintery months are the perfect time to snuggle down with this brick of a novel.

Other books on our list include Jennifer Saunders’s memoir Bonkers: My Life in Laughs, Donna Leon’s latest addition to her Commissario Brunetti crime series By Its Cover and Colin Holden’s gorgeous exploration of the majestic works of eighteenth-century Italian printmaker Giovanni Battista Piranesi Piranesi’s Grandest Tour: From Europe to Australia.
