            <title>Proofs available: Aatish Taseer&apos;s The Temple-Goers</title>
            <description><![CDATA[<p>We have advanced copies available of Aatish Taseer's searing fiction debut The Temple-Goers. Heralded as the 'Indian Brett Easton Ellis' by The Bookseller and as a 'writer to watch' by V.S. Naipaul, Aatish Taseer is a stunning new voice in fiction, exposing the ruthless heart of India's modern elite: a world of drink and designer labels, literature and laptops, politics and sex. Please get in touch if you would like to read one of the most exciting debuts of the year.</p>

<p>A young man returns home to Delhi after several years abroad and resumes his place among the city's cosmopolitan elite - a world of fashion designers, media moguls and the idle rich. But everything around him has changed - new roads, new restaurants, new money, new crime - everything, that is, except for the people, who are the same, only maybe slightly worse.</p>

<p>Then he meets Aakash, a charismatic and unpredictable young man, who introduces him to the squalid underside of this sprawling city. Together they get drunk and work out, visit temples and a prostitute, and our narrator finds himself disturbingly attracted to Aakash's world. But when Aakash is arrested for murder, the two of them are suddenly swept up in a politically sensitive investigation that exposes the true corruption at the heart of this new and ruthless society.</p>

<p>In a voice that is both cruel and tender, The Temple-Goers brings to life the dazzling story of a city quietly burning with rage.<br />

            <title>Proofs available: Sarah Blake: The Postmistress</title>
            <description><![CDATA[<p>We have 10 advanced copies available of Sarah Blake's sweeping, romantic and unforgettable novel of love and war, The Postmistress. Please get in touch if you would like to read what is set to be one of the most talked about books of the year.</p>

<p>The wireless crackles with news of blitzed-out London and of the war that courses through Europe, leaving destruction in its wake. Listening intently on the other side of the Atlantic, newly-wed Emma considers the fragility of her peaceful married life as America edges closer to the brink of war. As the reporter's distant voice fills the room, she sits convincing herself that the sleepy town of Franklin must be far beyond the war's reach.</p>

<p>But the life of American journalist Frankie, whose voice seems so remote, will soon be deeply entangled with her own. With the delivery of a letter into the hands of postmistress Iris, the fates of these three women become irrevocably linked. But while it remains unopened, can Iris keep its truth at bay?</p>
