Greek Myths is a spellbinding, complete and innovative retelling of the some of the oldest and greatest tales of all time Unlike in many previous collected myths, female characters take centre stage - Athena, Helen, Circe, Penelope and others weave these stories into elaborate imagined tapestries. In Charlotte Higgins’s thrilling new interpretation, their tales combine to form a dazzling, sweeping epic of storytelling, and a magnificent work of scholarship and imagination. Turner prizewinning artist Chris Ofili’s original drawings inspired by Charlotte Higgins’ text appear on the cover and throughout the book, which you can get a peek of over @jonathancape.

The cover drawing is a detail taken from the work ‘The Judgement of Paris’. Greek Myths is available from today.

The Inseparables is a gripping, coming-of-age novel based on a real-life friendship between Simone de Beauvoir and her friend Zaza who died young in early twentieth-century France.
Written in 1954, five years after The Second Sex, the novel was never published in Simone de Beauvoir’s lifetime. This first English edition includes an afterword by her adopted daughter, who discovered the manuscript hidden in a drawer, and photographs of the real-life friendship which inspired and tormented the author.

Intimacies is a taut and electrifying story about a woman caught between many truths.

An interpreter has come to The Hague to escape New York and work at the International Court. A woman of many languages and identities, she is looking for a place to finally call home.

She’s drawn into simmering personal dramas: her lover, Adriaan, is separated from his wife but still entangled in his marriage. Her friend Jana witnesses a seemingly random act of violence, a crime the interpreter becomes increasingly obsessed with as she befriends the victim’s sister. And she’s pulled into an explosive political controversy when she’s asked to interpret for a former president accused of war crimes.

A woman of quiet passion, she confronts power, love, and violence, both in her personal intimacies and in her work at the Court. She is soon pushed to the precipice, where betrayal and heartbreak threaten to overwhelm her, forcing her to decide what she wants from her life.

The aim while creating the paperback edition of Evie Wyld’s latest novel was to give a peak into the narrative which spans different timelines, the viewpoints of three different women and the severity of their experiences they felt on the Island. The Designer and Picture Editor worked together to find the right foreground painting, before the designer added photographed ripped pieces of paper to frame the Bass in all of its beautiful brutality.
 
Described as a modern gothic triumph, The Bass Rock is published by Vintage, and available now.
