Exquisite and self-aware, Always Home, Always Homesick is a luminous reflection on love, writing, and the importance of stories.
Elke Power, editor of Readings Monthly
Always Home, Always Homesick is Hannah Kent's memoir and love letter to Iceland, the country that inspired Burial Rites, the debut novel that started a publishing bidding war and launched Kent into international literary stardom.
'This is the type of read that will make you laugh, underline passages and truly consider cooking an octopus on a Tuesday evening.' – Chris Gordon, Readings bookseller
'Sahhar weaves the fragments she finds of family and national history into a narrative from which we cannot look away.' – Teddy Peak, Readings bookseller
Preorder a must-read political autobiography
From Jacinda Ardern, the former prime minister of New Zealand, comes a deeply personal memoir chronicling her extraordinary rise and offering inspiration to a new generation of leaders. A Different Kind of Power is more than a political memoir; it’s an insight into how it feels to lead, ultimately asking: What if you, too, are capable of more than you ever imagined?
We are thrilled to have copies of A Different Kind of Power that include a signed bookplate, available for the special price of $44.99 (was $55). Signed copies will be available online and in our shops, but please note that stock is very limited.
