THE INSTANT SUNDAY TIMES AND NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER FROM THE PULITZER PRIZE-WINNING, BOOKER-SHORTLISTED AUTHOR SHORTLISTED FOR THE WOMEN'S PRIZE 2025 'Stunning, deeply felt and profoundly intelligent' Guardian It's autumn in Maine, and the town lawyer Bob Burgess has become enmeshed in an unfolding murder investigation, defending a lonely, isolated man accused of killing his mother. He has also fallen into a deep and abiding friendship with the acclaimed writer, Lucy Barton, who lives nearby in a house next to the sea. Together, Lucy and Bob talk about their lives, their hopes and regrets, and what might have been. Lucy, meanwhile, befriends one of Crosby's longest inhabitants, Olive Kitteridge, now living in a retirement community on the edge of town. They spend afternoons together in Olive's apartment, telling each other stories. Stories about people they have known - "unrecorded lives," Olive calls them - reanimating them, and, in the process, imbuing their lives with meaning. Brimming with empathy and pathos, TELL ME EVERYTHING is Elizabeth Strout operating at the height of her powers, illuminating the ways in which our relationships keep us afloat. As Lucy says, "Love comes in so many different forms, but it is always love." *** 'A superbly gifted storyteller and a craftswoman in a league of her own' Hilary Mantel 'A terrific writer' Zadie Smith 'Strout's ability to reveal the wonder in unrecorded lives continues to astonish' Telegraph OPRAH'S BOOK CLUB PICK: 'A beautiful read reminding us that there is extraordinary love in ordinary actions' Oprah Winfrey Elizabeth Strout, Shortlisted for the Booker Prize, 2022

WATERSTONES NON-FICTION BOOK OF THE MONTH THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER 'Enchanting' Telegraph 'Miraculous' Isabella Tree 'Exquisite' FT From the No.1 bestselling author of The Shepherd's Life, an unforgettable story of friendship, redemption and a life-changing voyage of discovery on a remote Norwegian island How far do you have to go to find yourself? One afternoon many years ago, James Rebanks met an old woman on a remote Norwegian island. She lived and worked alone on a tiny rocky outcrop, caring for wild Eider ducks and gathering their down. Hers was a centuries-old trade that had once made men and women rich, but had long been in decline. Still, somehow, she seemed to be hanging on. Back at home, Rebanks couldn't stop thinking about the woman on the rocks. She was fierce and otherworldly - and yet strangely familiar. Years passed. Then, one day, he wrote her a letter, asking if he could return. Bring work clothes, she replied, and good boots, and come quickly: her health was failing. And so he travelled to the edge of the Arctic to witness her last season on the island. This is the story of that season. It is the story of a unique and ancient landscape, and of the woman who brought it back to life. It traces the pattern of her work from the rough, isolated toil of bitter winter, to the elation of the endless summer light, when the birds leave behind their precious down for gathering, like feathered gold. Slowly, Rebanks begins to understand that this woman and her world are not what he had previously thought. What began as a journey of escape becomes an extraordinary lesson in self-knowledge and forgiveness. *Shortlisted for the Edward Stanford Travel Book of the Year Award*

Discover the incredible and revelatory autobiography from one of the most iconic actors in the history of film. *THE INSTANT SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER* *A Times and Sunday Times Best Book of 2024* ' A 5 ft 7in Hollywood giant ... Al Pacino's readably eccentric memoir really preserves his Bronx-reared turn of phrase... you can imagine (every line) coming out of Pacino's mouth' The Times 'Startlingly cinematic ... A fine memoir' Guardian 'Surprising, introspective ... His youth was grim, his money troubles serious, his fame unlikely. Al Pacino's friends all died in poverty. How did he survive?' Telegraph 'The book is a beautiful trip ... (from) one of the world's greatest, most influential actors for more than 50 years. He's audacious. He's outrageous. He's Al Pacino' The New York Times 'Funny and candid' Evening Standard __________________________________________________________________________ To the wider world, Al Pacino exploded onto the scene like a supernova. He landed his first leading role, in The Panic in Needle Park, in 1971, and by 1975, he had starred in four movies - The Godfather and The Godfather Part II, Serpico, and Dog Day Afternoon - that were not just successes, but landmarks in the history of film. In reality, Pacino was in his mid-thirties by then, and had already lived several lives. Growing up in New York City's South Bronx and raised by a loving but mentally unwell mother, Pacino worked odd jobs to support himself. But, in good times and bad, in poverty and in wealth and in poverty again, through pain and joy, acting was his lifeline, its community his tribe. Exploring his iconic roles, essential collaborations, and important relationships, as well as the ever-present struggle between creativity and commerce, Sonny Boy is the revelatory account of an incredible life. This is the memoir of a man who has nothing left to fear and nothing left to hide. _________________________________________________________________________ 'Soulful...Pacino explores his life with eccentric charm...Shot through with self-deprecating honesty to with the well-worn Pacino swagger...You can almost hear him saying all of this in recognizably Pacino-like tones...Pacino has done such a high volume of great work that reading 'Sonny Boy; often feels like hanging out within a history of American movies over the last 50 years' LA Times 'A beautiful...brilliant book' Dermot O'Leary 'Conversational, breezily readable, reflective...Dives deep into Pacino's career highlights and low points' Washington Post 'Miraculous' Conan O'Brien Praise for Al Pacino: 'So unique and special' Robert De Niro 'Al Pacino is magical ' Martin Scorsese 'A legend' Francis Ford Coppola 'Charming, hilarious, a nonstop talker.
