It's 1986 and a nuclear reactor has exploded in Chernobyl. Syvert L yning returns home from military service to live with his mother and brother on the outskirts of a town in Southern Norway. One night, he dreams of his late father, and can't shake him from his mind. Searching through his father's belongings for clues and connections, he finds a cache of letters that lead to the Soviet Union.

In present-day Russia, Alevtina is trying to balance work and family. She has always sought the answers to life's big questions, but is preoccupied with care of her young son. Her friend Vasilisa offers some nourishment- she is writing a book about an ancient feature of Russian culture, the belief in eternal life. Meantime, Alevtina is heading towards a meeting that will redraw the contours of her world.

A searching and humane novel, The Wolves of Eternity is an intimate journey into the experiences of a half-brother and half-sister in their two different - yet deeply connected - lives. The second novel in Karl Ove Knausgaard's extraordinary new series, it expands the universe of The Morning Star in the decades before the blazing and mysterious star descends.

The Wolves of Eternity is set in the Morning Star universe

By the time of his early death in 1988, Raymond Carver had established himself as one of the great practitioners of the American short story, a writer who had not only found his own voice but imprinted it in the imaginations of thousands of readers. Where I'm Calling From, his last collection, includes seven new works previously unpublished in book form. Together, these 37 stories give us a superb overview of Carver's life work and show us why he was so widely imitated but never equaled.",{"_819":838,"_821":848,"_792":849},{"_819":838,"_821":851,"_792":1125},"Knopf Doubleday Publishing Group",{"_819":838,"_821":826,"_792":854},{"_819":838,"_821":856,"_792":857},{"_819":838,"_821":859,"_792":860},{"_819":838,"_821":862,"_792":1130},"SHORT STORIES",{"_819":838,"_821":865,"_792":1132},"1989-06-30",{"_819":838,"_821":868,"_792":1134},"544",{"_819":838,"_821":829,"_792":1136},"Vintage",{"_819":871,"_821":350,"_792":872},{"_819":871,"_821":731,"_792":872},{"_819":871,"_821":875,"_792":878},{"_819":871,"_821":877,"_792":878},{"_819":871,"_821":880,"_792":878},{"_819":871,"_821":882,"_792":1143},"02/02/2026",{"_819":871,"_821":885,"_792":1145},"23/01/2026",{"_819":871,"_821":888,"_792":1147},"46.0",{"_819":871,"_821":890,"_792":1147},{"_819":871,"_821":892,"_792":893},{"_819":871,"_821":895,"_792":893},{"_819":898,"_821":899,"_792":1152},"American Fiction,Short Stories",{"_819":898,"_821":350,"_792":1154},"Fiction;Short Stories",{"_819":898,"_821":731,"_792":1156},"American Fiction;Short Stories",{"_819":898,"_821":904,"_792":1158},"AMEFIC,SHORTS",{"_819":898,"_821":906,"_792":1160},"FICTIO;SHORTS",{"_819":898,"_821":908,"_792":1162},"AMEFIC;SHORTS",{"_819":898,"_821":910,"_792":911},{"_819":898,"_821":913,"_792":1070},{"_819":898,"_821":915,"_792":1070},{"_819":898,"_821":917,"_792":918},{"_819":898,"_821":920,"_792":1073},{"_819":898,"_821":922,"_792":1073},{"_819":898,"_821":924,"_792":918},{"_819":898,"_821":926,"_792":1073},{"_819":898,"_821":928,"_792":929},{"_819":898,"_821":931,"_792":929},{"_819":898,"_821":933,"_792":929},{"_770":1175},[1176],{"_773":116,"_774":-5,"_130":1177,"_209":1178,"_783":1182,"_789":1183,"_17":1115,"_793":1185,"_795":1186},"gid://shopify/ProductVariant/44841024749765",{"_777":1179,"_778":1084,"_130":1180,"_35":1101,"_781":1181},"Where I'm Calling From Cover Image","gid://shopify/ProductImage/38493056106693",1347,{"_785":786,"_787":1147},[1184],{"_754":755,"_792":1115},"9780679722311",{"_797":1187},[1188,1191],{"_800":1189},{"_802":116,"_133":1190},{"_754":347},{"_800":1192},{"_802":116,"_133":1193},{"_754":729},{"_130":1195,"_17":1196,"_742":1197,"_765":1198,"_816":1200,"_768":1262},"gid://shopify/Product/8478758830277","Might Cry Later: A Hilarious, Romantic, Messy, Autistic Story","might-cry-later-a-hilarious-romantic-messy-autistic-story",{"_35":1199},"https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0625/6679/3413/files/9781761568053.jpg?v=1769293590",[1201,1202,1204,1206,-5,1208,1210,1211,1213,1215,1217,1219,1220,1222,1224,1225,-5,-5,1226,1228,1230,-5,1232,-5,1233,1234,-5,1235,-5,1237,-5,1239,1240,-5,1242,1244,-5,1246,1248,-5,1250,1252,-5,1254,1256,-5,1258,1260,-5,1261],{"_819":820,"_821":17,"_792":1196},{"_819":820,"_821":823,"_792":1203},"KERR KAY",{"_819":820,"_821":826,"_792":1205},"TP",{"_819":820,"_821":829,"_792":1207},"MACMIL",{"_819":820,"_821":835,"_792":1209},"TDLC",{"_819":838,"_821":839,"_792":840},{"_819":838,"_821":17,"_792":1212},"Might Cry Later",{"_819":838,"_821":1117,"_792":1214},"A Hilarious, Romantic, Messy, Autistic Story",{"_819":838,"_821":823,"_792":1216},"Kay Kerr",{"_819":838,"_821":846,"_792":1218},"A hilarious, romantic, messy, neurodivergent story of burnout for readers of Bonnie Garmus, Gabrielle Zevin and Meg Mason, by autistic author Kay Kerr.Meet Nora Byrne. Over-thinker, under-achiever, champion vibes-killer. After spectacularly blowing up her life, twenty-one-year-old Nora Byrne retreats to the family home with little to show for herself but a shiny new autism diagnosis. But it's hard to process this news under the critical eye of her mother, who already treats her like the black sheep, and the rest of her less-than-understanding family. Worst of all, it's the week before Christmas, which means mandatory socialising with the neighbours - including Fran, her childhood best friend, last seen when she broke his heart (again). Nora's only goal is to get through the interminable family dinners, awkward Fran encounters and excessive holiday festivities without crying, throwing up, or finding new ways to humiliate herself. But with her track record, it's not going to be easy ... A heartfelt, hilarious and romantic story about burning out, coming home and finding yourself, no matter how messy and imperfect the process.
