Contemporary stories, literary fiction, and popular novels
What you’ll find here: this Fiction category is broad and mixed. It includes contemporary novels, relationship-driven stories, literary fiction, family dramas, humorous fiction, and a smaller number of more unusual or experimental books.
A lot of the current stock leans modern. There are several well-known recent authors here, including Sally Rooney, Taylor Jenkins Reid, Colleen Hoover, Jojo Moyes, Sophie Kinsella, Liane Moriarty, and Emily Henry, though stock may change. You can expect books focused on everyday lives, friendships, love, family tension, identity, and modern social themes.
There is also a more literary side, with authors such as Margaret Atwood, Zadie Smith, Haruki Murakami, J. M. Coetzee, Jhumpa Lahiri, and David Mitchell appearing in the current list. So this section is not just light reading; it covers a fairly wide middle ground between accessible popular fiction and more demanding novels.
If you want older canon writers, see Classics, which is more focused on established literature from earlier periods. If you are after suspense-led novels, Crime, Thriller & Mystery is narrower and more plot-driven. Stock in Fiction changes regularly.
