Best new books to brighten up dreary winter
January's drizzle, sobriety and hibernation call for a pile of new books to get lost in. There's a taunt crime thriller that had French readers hooked, the titalating tell-all truth behind Trump's White House, the self-care bible that Kate Moss adores and hotly-anticipated new novels from esteemed Booker winners.
This ‘domestic drama on wheels’ from the twice Booker-winning writer Peter Carey takes you on a high-speed road trip around 1950s Australia. With characteristically offbeat prose and shrewdly-wrought oddball characters, Carey explores issues of postcolonialism and perspective. As a car-mad couple and their neighbour embark upon a perilous motorsport rally across the continent, A Long Way From Home is a lively, archly stylish ride of a novel.
