Your Waterstones Weekly

The small matter of a General Election last week didn’t deflect us from our own rather special... [View email online]( [Waterstones Weekly]( [FICTION]( | [NON-FICTION]( | [CHILDREN'S]( | [SIGNED]( | [SHOPS]( Dear Reader, Now all that stress of polling booths and stubby broken pencils has been laid aside – at least for a week or two – this week’s peril of [Father’s Day]( shopping looms from the fog. Fortunately, we’re past masters at this and you’ll find no end of inspiration, whether it’s last week’s blazing Baileys winner [The Power]( – a novel we all genuinely can’t get enough of, you’ll be amazed – or maybe Naomi Klein’s almost impossibly timely [No Is Not Enough]( for which she has [added her thoughts on last week’s electoral intrigue](. It’s an exclusive for Waterstones: we can’t help but be slightly in awe. New and Reviewed [No is Not Enough]( [No is Not Enough]( Naomi Klein “Trump,” Klein explained to the Observer, “is undoubtedly an idiot, but do not underestimate how good he is at that.” With the same, stripped-down, perceptive edge she brought to [No Logo]( Naomi Klein here takes on the perma-chaos that has defined this decade and defines a route through what she sees as an all-too calculated incoherence. Meanwhile, [over on our Blog]( Klein finds fresh learnings - and valediction - from last week's election result. [Big Capital]( [Big Capital]( Anna Minton “The current state of London housing is an affront to civilisation,” wrote the Observer yesterday of Minton’s angry but purposeful wake-up call to our capital’s collapse in its ability to support a viable, working infrastructure. The elephant is now in the room, but can the room ever be made affordable? [Why I'm No Longer Talking to White People About Race]( I'm No Longer Talking to White People About Race]( Reni Eddo-Lodge “This is the kind of book that demands a future where we'll no longer need such a book,” said a succinct Marlon James of this provocative challenge to pervasive, institutionalised racism. From ambient and lazy cultural stereotyping to the hostility surrounding the casting of black performers in assumptively ‘white’ roles, this is a clarion call of understanding. [Jo Cox: More in Common]( [Jo Cox: More in Common]( Brendan Cox "Jo Cox's selfless service to others made the world a better place." So said President Barack Obama, inviting the tragically-widowed Brendan Cox and his children to the White House. Although it is indeed terrible this book has to exist at all, Brendan Cox’s portrait of the late Jo Cox is an impossibly moving testimony to a life and future now forever lost. All Brendan Cox's royalties will go to the Jo Cox Foundation. [Buy the book]( [Buy the book]( [Buy the book]( [The Power]( Power]( Naomi Alderman Abruptly, across the world, young women gain the ability to kill with a single touch of the hand. From this almost John Wyndham-esque premise, Naomi Alderman manages to fuse a blistering global thriller - Michael Crichton would be proud - with a tale cleverly challenging assumptions of gender and society. Easily walking away with last week’s Baileys Prize for Women's Fiction, this is witty, audacious and even sometimes shocking stuff. [You Don't Know Me]( [You Don't Know Me]( Imran Mahmood “Startlingly original,” said the Daily Mail, “a stunning idea superbly executed.” Barrister Imran Mahmood applies all his insider knowledge in this first-class courtroom debut. The reader plays juror as an accused man opts for his own defence in this BBC Radio 2 Book of the Week. "Superb character-driven fiction. Masterful" - The Guardian [A Necessary Evil]( Necessary Evil]( Abir Mukherjee Captain Sam Wyndham, the troubled, morphine-dependent survivor of the Great War, makes a hugely welcome return in the sequel to our previous Thriller of the Month, [A Rising Man](. The dark heart of the British Raj beats once again as Wyndham and the redoubtable Sergeant 'Surrender Not' Banerjee uncover a network of evil behind the assassination of a Maharajah's son. [Rather be the Devil]( [Rather be the Devil]( Ian Rankin Every Rebus is a master class. Ian Rankin – a writer’s writer in any genre – turns his sardonic gaze to a cold case, unsolved since the seventies, a gnawing itch to be scratched for the now retired Rebus. But how long before that itch becomes a sore, and how long before the present puts paid to the future? “Superbly told, impossible to put down.” – The Daily Mail [Buy the book]( [Buy the book]( [Buy the book]( [2017 Curious Arts Festival - An arts festival with an eccentric, garden party vibe - Get 10% off and curious arts festival ticket - Enter the code WSTCAF17 at the checkout - Find out more]( Signed and Special Editions [How to be a Bawse]( [How to be a Bawse]( Lilly Singh Not just conquering life, but conquering life signed.
