New Book of the Month

From acclaimed Irish poet Seán Hewitt comes his much-anticipated debut novel, Open, Heaven, a luminous coming-of-age story set in a remote English village in 2002. Sixteen-year-old James is shy, introspective, and quietly navigating the early stirrings of his sexuality. Longing for tenderness and freedom, he feels increasingly alienated from his family and the rural world around him.​

 

Then he meets Luke—handsome, impulsive, and burdened by his own family scars. As the seasons pass, their bond deepens into a powerful, all-consuming connection that will shape James’s life forever. Hewitt’s poetic sensibility infuses every page with beauty and emotional precision, capturing the ache of first love and the bittersweet passage into adulthood.​

 

Open, Heaven is a tender, immersive novel about desire, identity, and the transformative power of love. Perfect for readers of Call Me by Your Name and On Earth We’re Briefly Gorgeous, this is a story to savour and remember.​

Bargain Book of the Month

Why do we so often find ourselves at odds with others over politics, religion, and morality—even when everyone thinks they’re on the side of good? In The Righteous Mind, social psychologist Jonathan Haidt explores the hidden roots of our moral beliefs, drawing from psychology, anthropology, and neuroscience. With clarity and compassion, Haidt explains how morality binds us together but also blinds us to opposing views. A must-read for anyone seeking to understand the moral drivers behind our deepest divides—whether you're trying to bridge them or just make sense of the noise.

 

Perfect for fans of Malcolm Gladwell, Yuval Noah Harari, or anyone curious about human nature and the psychology of disagreement.
