2016 2016

ur publishing this year is as diverse as the titles lining our Oshelves and filling the tables of our shops. We’re always aiming to recreate the experience of browsing in a Daunt Books shop, where the eye darts from spine to cover and back again, exhilarated by the variety and choice on offer. All our books this year – whether redis- covered classic or exciting debut – have compelling stories, vibrant settings, and wonderful characters to fascinate and delight.

Light Box by K J Orr encapsulates this diversity – it’s a globe-trotting wonder of a collection by a thrilling new talent. In the catalogue you’ll also find young Aziz coming of age in Green on Blue – Elliot Ackerman’s debut novel set in Afghanistan. There’s Marie, strolling the streets of 1930s Paris in Madeleine Bourdouxhe’s masterpiece. And then the hunt for quixotic Beatriz Yagoda, who vanishes up an almond tree in Ways to Disappear. In non-fiction, John McPhee’s extraordinary Oranges takes readers on an idiosyncratic journey in search of a fruit, and the story of Jack and Rochelle’s survival in 1940s Poland is moving and compelling in equal measure.
