Living Souls
Dmitry Bykov

Dmitry Bykov is one of Russia's most celebrated contemporary authors and, perhaps dangerously, an outspoken critic of Vladimir Putin. His first novel to be published in the UK is a vicious satire on the current regime, set in a possible future where Russia is ruled by a right-wing cult and the racial tensions have seen minorities driven from Moscow. As everyday life collapses, four unlikely couples seek to escape the chaos and hatred.

The Rehearsal
Eleanor Catton

A music teacher is suspended for an affair with a pupil, or so the story goes. Catton tells it two ways: as it happened and as portrayed by a local drama college in a student production. At first the two accounts are discrete, the truth banal and its artistic depiction luridly ornamented, but the distinctions blur and the reader's loyalties begin to stray. Simply one of the most outstanding debut novels to be published in recent years.

Nocturnes
Kazuo Ishiguro

The theme linking the five stories making up Ishiguro's latest book is the tipping point in life where one feels that the best of life now lies in the past. Tales such as that of the Venetian café guitarist hired by a once famous crooner to help serenade his wife leave a ghostly imprint. Like balloons caught on the wind, each character is lost to the uncertainty of the future.
