New in our top 10 bestseller list this week is The Choke, the highly-anticipated new book from Sofie Laguna. Our reviewer says ‘Laguna has beautifully captured the bewilderment of childhood and the emergence of adulthood in her character of Justine. This is an extraordinary read.’

Also new this week is A Legacy of Spies by John le Carré. The first Smiley novel in over 25 years, A Legacy of Spies marks a return to two of le Carré’s best loved novels, The Spy Who Came in from the Cold and Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy.

Detours is the literary memoir of musician, actor and writer Tim Rogers. You can hear Rogers in conversation with rock journalist Michael Dwyer at our special event taking place at Church of All Nations tomorrow (Tuesday 29 August).
