Thank you for visiting, and welcome to Two Roads. We’re not a large imprint, but we like to think we are mighty. We publish about 15 books a year, voice-driven fiction and non-fiction – all great stories told with heart and intelligence. 2020 marks our ninth year of publishing and we couldn’t be prouder of all our wonderful authors on the road so far.
Every book we publish is one we want to press into readers’ hands and say, ‘You must read this!’ We hope you feel the same.
STORIES … VOICES … PLACES … LIVES …
Two Roads is publishing incredible fiction next year, starting with Karen Raney’s powerfully moving debut of family, love and grief, All the Water in the World. Then there’s The Year Without Summer by Costa-shortlisted Guinevere Glasfurd, which tells the story of a world changed by one singular event. Bestselling author Sally Magnusson returns with The Ninth Child, a spellbinding novel that combines Scottish folklore with hidden history. And, for book lovers, The Paris Library by Janet Skeslien Charles – inspired by the true story of librarians who risked their lives in Occupied Paris – is a love letter to libraries and the relationships that shape us.
This year in non-fiction, we are honoured to be publishing a collection and celebration of Jeremy Hardy’s best wit, wisdom words and one-liners: Jeremy Hardy Speaks Volumes publishes in February. Author of the gloriously gossipy Queen Bees Siân Evans unveils the fascinating stories of women who sailed on ocean liners during the interwar years in Maiden Voyages. And watch this space for a beautiful, lyrical exploration of witchcraft, and a new book from Monty Don . . .
