King's Classic bestseller about a famous novelist held hostage by his Number One Fan. Misery Chastain is dead. Paul Sheldon has just killed her - with relief, with joy. Misery has made him rich; she was the heroine of a string of bestsellers. And now he wants to get on to some real writing. That's when the car accident happens, and he wakes up in pain in a strange bed. But it isn't hospital. Annie Wilkes has pulled him from the wreck, brought him to her remote mountain home, splinted and set his mangled legs. The good news is that Annie was a nurse and has pain-killing drugs. The bad news is that she has long been Paul's Number One Fan. And when she finds out what Paul had done to Misery, she doesn't like it. She doesn't like it at all. Paul Sheldon used to write for a living. Now he's writing to stay alive.

I can''t remember the last time I read a book that was so fun'' DOLLY ALDERTON Taylor Jenkins Reid''s new novel MALIBU RISING is out now! ____________________________________ Everybody knows Daisy Jones and the Six. From the moment Daisy walked barefoot on to the stage at the Whisky, she and the band were a sensation. Their sound defined an era. Their albums were on every turntable.

A zeitgeist book for 2019'' STYLIST ''Well observed, sensitively told . . . a great read.''

Taylor Jenkins Reid has got every nuance, every detail exact and right. I loved every word.'' PAUL REES ''So brilliantly written I thought all the characters were real . . . I couldn''t put it down.'' EDITH BOWMAN ''Explosive . . . a gorgeous novel and a ravishing read.'' CHARLOTTE HEATHCOTE, SUNDAY EXPRESS ''Sex, drugs and rock ''n'' roll? You bet, but it''s Daisy''s refusal to become a mere muse that powers this buzzy music-industry romance.'' HEPHZIBAH ANDERSON, MAIL ON SUNDAY ''The characters leap off the page, seducing you with their dramas, and making you wish the band was real.'' HEAT ''The heady haze of the 70s music scene, and a perfectly flawed Daisy, combine to create a fresh, rock n roll read. I loved it.'' ALI LAND, author of Good Me Bad Me One of autumn 2020''s biggest books (Grazia)

In a small back alley in Tokyo, there is a cafe which has been serving carefully brewed coffee for more than one hundred years. But this coffee shop offers its customers a unique experience: the chance to travel back in time... From the author of Before the Coffee Gets Cold comes a story of four new customers each of whom is hoping to take advantage of Cafe Funiculi Funicula's time-travelling offer. Among some faces that will be familiar to readers of Kawaguchi's previous novel, we will be introduced to: The man who goes back to see his best friend who died 22 years ago The son who was unable to attend his own mother's funeral The man who went back to see his girl who he could not marry The old detective who never gave his wife that gift... This beautiful, simple tale tells the story of people who must face up to their past, in order to move on with their lives. Kawaguchi once again invites the reader to ask themselves: what would you change if you could travel back in time?
