Five Fab Reads Out In April

Whether you’re longing for a Parisian getaway or simply want to indulge in a comforting slice of wartime London life, April’s book releases are sure to sate your literary appetite.

• Other People’s Children by R.J. Hoffmann Touching on one of the most delicate subjects of human nature, this moving debut follows a young couple whose fertility problems lead to further heartache when a child they plan to adopt is reclaimed by its teenage mother.

Exploring the complexities of a close family, they must make agonising decisions in the name of love.

• Paradise, Nevada by Dario Diofebi Steeped in the feverish neon wonder that is Las Vegas, this heart-stopping tale has all the thrills you would expect from a high-stakes poker setting, with the surprising addition of depth and compassion for the four characters who are willing to risk everything for the ultimate slice of the American dream.

Eloquent, comedic and bristling with energy from Diofebi, himself once a professional poker player.

• Kisses and Croissants by Anne-Sophie Jouhanneau Detailing everything one would expect from a love story set in the City of Lights, including divine Parisian pastries, languid afternoons strolling through art galleries and of course, stolen kisses in the shadow of the Tour Eiffel, this is the ideal read for anyone who is longing for a continental getaway. Published by Delacorte Press on April 6 • Instinct by Jason M. Hough New York Times bestselling author Jason M. Hough brings us this intriguing and heart-stopping thriller which takes place in the kind of American backwater town where anything can happen, and does.

It follows officer Mary Whittaker as she does her best to unravel several highly unusual incidents. It soon becomes clear that the townsfolk are losing their survival instincts and that Mary must fight to uncover the truth before she loses her own.

• The Last Bookshop in London: A Novel of World War II by Madeline Martin Set in August 1939 as London prepares for war when Hitler’s forces sweep across Europe, Grace Bennett’s realised dream of living in the city doesn’t quite meet up to her expectations as she finds her day-to-day life blighted by bombings, blackouts and bunkers.

However, she quickly realises that her role as a humble bookseller may be just what the local community needs to find solace and light during a period where London was perpetually doused in darkness and death.
