#1 SUNDAY TIMES AND NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER** WINNER OF THE OVERALL BOOK OF THE YEAR, BEST NARRATIVE NON-FICTION BOOK OF THE YEAR AND FREEDOM TO PUBLISH AWARD AT THE BRITISH BOOK AWARDS 2026 **The UK's bestselling memoir. The book that's changing the world. An empowering true story of surviving abuse and fighting for justice.‘If books can shape history, this is one.’ DAILY MAIL‘Make no mistake: this is a book about power, corruption, industrial-scale sex abuse and the way in which institutions sided with the perpetrator over his victims. . . . But it is also a book about how a young woman becomes a hero. . . . Important [and] courageous.’ GUARDIANThe world knows Virginia Roberts Giuffre as Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell’s most outspoken victim: the woman whose decision to speak out helped send both serial abusers to prison, whose photograph with Prince Andrew catalyzed his fall from grace. This is her story.In April 2025, Giuffre took her own life. She left behind a memoir written in the years preceding her death and stated unequivocally that she wanted it published. Nobody’s Girl is the riveting and powerful story of an ordinary girl who would grow up to confront extraordinary adversity.Here, Giuffre offers an unsparing and definitive account of her time with Epstein and Maxwell, who trafficked her and others to numerous prominent men. She also details the molestation she suffered as a child, as well as her daring escape from Epstein and Maxwell’s grasp at nineteen. Giuffre remade her life from scratch and summoned the courage to waive anonymity and not only hold her abusers to account but also advocate for other victims. The pages of Nobody’s Girl preserve her voice—and her legacy—forever.Nobody’s Girl is an astonishing affirmation of Giuffre’s unshakable will—first, to claw her way out of victimhood, and then to shine light on wrongdoing and fight for a safer, fairer world. Equal parts intimate and fierce, it is a remarkable narrative of fortitude in the face of depravity and despair.‘Both devastating and uplifting … fearless and frank - angry and empowering. It speaks to the thousands of other victims out there about how to start fighting back.’ EMILY MAITLIS· ‘Takes us into unimaginable realms of human suffering ...devastating.’ THE TIMES· ‘This astonishing book left me reaching for breath.’ JULIET NICOLSON· Startling ... demands that we read with caution, discretion and sensitivity.’ INDEPENDENT· ‘The most important (but, honestly, the most traumatic) book I’ve read all year. As painful as this book is to read, please, please do.’ SAM BAKER, THE SHIFT· It is a personal triumph that [Virginia Roberts Giuffre] chose to speak up and a tragedy that doing so came at such cost. OBSERVER· ‘Nobody’s Girl is not just a memoir – it’s a template for how difficult it is for victims who have been abused once to escape the cycle.’ NEW STATESMAN

THE INSTANT SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER!'Only Sophie Kinsella can make you laugh like this while she's got you crying . . . This is one of the gutsiest moves I've seen from a writer in a long time. I could not put it down.' TAYLOR JENKINS REID'A deeply funny and affecting love story.' The Guardian'I laughed. And I cried. And then I thought about the meaning of life. A jewel of a book.' JOJO MOYES'Emotional and affecting, this gave me a new appreciation for life's small joys.' Red'The bravest book you'll read all year.' JODI PICOULT------------------From Number One bestselling author Sophie Kinsella, an unforgettable story – by turns heartbreaking and life-affirming – of a renowned novelist facing a devastating diagnosis and learning to live and love anew.‘What Does It Feel Like? is fiction, but it is my most autobiographical work to date. Eve’s story is my story.’ — SOPHIE KINSELLAEve is a successful novelist who wakes up one day in a hospital bed with no memory of how she got there. Her husband, never far from her side, explains that she has had an operation to remove the large, malignant tumour growing in her brain.As Eve learns to walk, talk, and write again — and as she wrestles with her diagnosis, and how and when to explain it to her beloved children — she begins to recall what’s most important to her: long walks with her husband’s hand clasped firmly around her own, family game nights and always buying that dress when she sees it.Recounted in brief anecdotes, each one is an attempt to answer the type of impossible questions recognizable to anyone navigating the labyrinth of grief. This extraordinary novella is a celebration of life, shot through with warmth and humour – it will both break your heart and put it back together again.‘Why did I write such a personal book? I have always processed my life through writing. Hiding behind my fictional characters, I have always turned my own life into a narrative. It is my version of therapy, maybe. Writing is my happy place, and writing this book, although tough going at times, was immensely satisfying and therapeutic for me.’ – SOPHIE KINSELLA------------------'I was gripped and moved and I loved every word.'

All is not well in the Letherii Empire.Rhulad Sengar, the Emperor of a Thousand Deaths, spirals into madness, surrounded by sycophants and agents of his Machiavellian chancellor, while the Letherii secret police conduct a campaign of terror against its own people. The Errant, once a farseeing god, is suddenly blind to the future. Conspiracies seethe throughout the palace, as the empire - driven by the corrupt and self-interested - edges ever-closer to all-out war with the neighbouring kingdoms.And then there's the great Edur fleet that draws ever closer - a force that includes Karsa Orlong and Icarium Lifestealer - each destined to cross blades with the emperor himself. That yet more blood is to be spilled is inevitable . . .Against this backdrop, a band of fugitives seek a way out of the empire. Amongst is Fear Sengar who is searching for the soul of Scabandari Bloodeye. His hope is that it might help halt the Tiste Edur and so save his brother, the emperor. But travelling with them is Scabandari's most ancient foe: Silchas Ruin, brother of Anomander Rake. Ruin's motives are anything but certain. The wounds he carries on his back, made by the blades of Scabandari, are still fresh.Fate decrees that there is to be a reckoning, for such bloodshed cannot go unanswered - and it will be a reckoning on an unimaginable scale . . .

In fact, she would be the first to point out that there is no such thing.But it's the early 1960s and her all-male team at Hastings Research Institute take a very unscientific view of equality.
