Often considered her most experimental work, Virginia Woolf's The Waves is a masterclass in modernist fiction, and a profound exploration of time, consciousness and the conflicting rhythms of individual lives. Published in 1931, The Waves unfolds through the soliloquies of six characters whose voices come and go – much like the sea tides they are surrounded by – in a blend of consciousness, tracing their journeys from childhood to old age. Around them drifts the unseen presence of a seventh figure, Percival, whose absence becomes a powerful refrain throughout the book.

In this enthralling crime novel, a baffling murder shocks London: a man has been murdered in a locked room after receiving anonymous threats, his body resurfacing in a nearby canal. Witnesses swear no one went in – or out. The suspect? A supposedly invisible man.

As he begins to unravel the fatal mystery, Brown cleverly illustrates how anyone can become invisible – not by magic, but by expectation.

Set just before World War I, The Good Soldier is a tragic, psychologically rich novel of love, betrayal and illusion. It is regarded as one of Ford's best works, and has been adapted for theatre, television and radio. Poignant and intricately crafted, The Good Soldier is told through the eyes of John Dowell, an unreliable and often naïve narrator. Through fragmented and non-linear storytelling, Dowell recounts the breakdown of his marriage to Florence, and the deterioration of Edward and Leonora's relationship, his prior friends.
