The True Deceiver
By Tove Jansson
Introduction by Ali Smith
Translated from the Swedish by Thomas Teal

A story of manipulation and deceit set in the depths of the Swedish winter, The True Deceiver is unlike anything else Tove Jansson wrote. "I loved this book. It's cool in both senses of the word, understated yet exciting, and with a tension that keeps you reading." —Ruth Rendell
Soul of Wood
By Jakov Lind
Translated from the German by Ralph Manheim
Introduction by Michael Krüger

Lind's stories of the Second World War and its repercussions deal masterfully with a world of horror through fantasy, paradox, and sardonic distortion and brings to life the agonies of twentieth-century Europe. "It is amazing that he is witty; it is not at all surprising that he is profound." —The New York Times
The Fortunes of War: The Balkan Trilogy
By Olivia Manning
Introduction by Rachel Cusk

A multi-stranded and engrossing novel of civilian life during World War II. "One of those combinations of soap opera and literature that are so rare you'd think it would meet the conditions of two kinds of audiences: those after what the trade calls 'a good read,' and those who want something more." —Howard Moss, The New York Review of Books
