Recitatif, the only short story Toni Morrison ever wrote, is about race and the relationships that shape our lives, with a new substantial introduction from Zadie Smith This powerful story about race and friendship, tells the story of girls Twyla and Roberta who meet at the age of eight in a children’s home. Inseparable as children, they lose touch as they grow older, only later to find each other again at various junctures in their lives. A beautiful abstract painting by Liverpool based artist Millie Toyin Olateju graces the cover. The layers and overlapping of colours in Millie’s piece reminded the designer of the meetings between Twyla and Roberta in the story and serves as an abstract representation of their story building and their relationship. #bookdesign #bookcover #newbooks #jacketdesign #graphicdesign #coverdesign #tonimorrison #abstractpainting #recitatif #bookphotography #blackhistorymonth #shortstories Design by Kris Potter.

Saša Stanišic's Where You Come From is a novel about a village where only thirteen people remain, a country that no longer exists, a shattered family that is his own. Blending autofiction, fable, and choose-your-own-adventure, Stanišic traces a family's escape during the conflict in Yugoslavia, and the years that followed as they built a life in Germany. As he explores what it means to be European today, he examines how it feels to learn a new language, to find new friends and new jobs, and to build an identity between countries and cultures. Translated by Damion Searls, Where You Come From is about homelands, both remembered and imagined. A book that bends form and genre with wit, heart, and exceptional craftsmanship to explore questions that lie inside all of us: about language and shame, about arrival and making it just in time, about luck and death, about what role our origins and memories play in our lives.

Insects are essential for life as we know it. As they become more scarce, our world will slowly grind to a halt; we simply cannot function without them. Drawing on the latest ground-breaking research and a lifetime's study, Dave Goulson reveals the shocking decline of insect populations that has taken place in recent decades, with potentially catastrophic consequences. He passionately argues that we must all learn to love, respect and care for our six-legged friends. Eye-opening, inspiring and riveting, Silent Earth is part love letter to the insect world, part elegy, part rousing manifesto for a greener planet. It is a call to arms for profound change at every level - in government policy, agriculture, industry and in our own homes and gardens. Although time is running out, it is not yet too late for insect populations to recover. We may feel helpless in the face of many of the environmental issues that loom on our horizon, but Goulson shows us how we can all take simple steps to encourage insects and counter their destruction. Silent Earth is out now.
