Borrowed Land: A Highland Story

"Brought to you by Penguin. An extraordinary portrait of the Scottish Highlands: this is an epic and urgent story of destruction and renewal, told through unforgettable encounters with its people. This is the story of a Scottish glen and its inhabitants, and of how I came to call it my glen. From the powerful rivers that bring life and prosperity, to the Pictish cairns, undisturbed for centuries and the meadows of bluebells, from which deer emerge, god-like, in a flash, Kapka Kassabova reveals a world that has been abused, but remains achingly beautiful and alive. In the Highlands, centuries-old connections between the land, nature and people have been, and continue to be, shaken by the forces of colonialism, industry, depopulation and private property speculation. Borrowed Land tells the stories of those who are working against this disconnect: the last true Highlanders, fighting to preserve their home. 'Brave, intense, unexpected, lyrical and troubling' Rory Stewart 'A poetic and haunting anatomy of what happens when a world is addicted to extraction' James Crawford 'Stark and moving. A hymn, a howl and a call to action all at once' Ben Rawlence 'A brilliant, daring and urgent account’ Sally Huband © Kapka Kassabova 2026 (P) Penguin Audio 2026"

June in the Garden

"June views the world in colour and bloom. She is a keen horticulturist and an amateur arborist, and she can name every flower species beginning with the letter J.

When her mother dies unexpectedly and their home is repossessed, June decides to journey south to find her secondary caregiver who she has not seen since she was an infant. However, June’s biological father does not want to be found, nor does he want to be reminded of those turbulent times up north with her mother. Panicked and confused, he turns her away, not wanting to jeopardise his London life and his new family, who he lives with in a big redstone townhouse in Notting Hill in a garden filled with white roses and lemon thyme, on a street lined with Japanese Dawn Redwood trees. With nowhere else to go and without her father knowing, June moves into the yellow shed in his garden where she can spend her days once again surrounded by colour and bloom. There, she reluctantly forges a new friendship with her ten-year-old half-brother and the family dog, who keep her residence in the garden shed a secret, and over the course of a balmy summer in London she realises that this child is the only one who’s ever really understood her. As the summer blooms wither and autumn sets in, June is forced to both process the differences that stop her from maintaining social relationships with others, and the death of her mother if she ever stands a chance of connecting with her father, and with herself."

Hare House: A Gothic, Atmospheric Modern-day Tale of Witchcraft

"'Deliciously chilly' Guardian 'Humming with suppressed hysteria and madness' The Times 'Wonderfully evocative' Heat Hare House is not its real name, of course. I have, if you will forgive me, kept names to a minimum here, for reasons that will become understandable . . . In the first brisk days of autumn, a woman arrives in Scotland having left her job at an all-girls school in London in mysterious circumstances. Moving into a cottage on the remote estate of Hare House, she begins to explore her new home – a patchwork of hills, moorland and forest. But among the tiny roads, dykes and scattered houses, something more sinister lurks: local tales of witchcraft, clay figures and young men sent mad. Striking up a friendship with her landlord, Grant, and his younger sister, Cass, she begins to suspect that all might not be quite as it seems at Hare House. And as autumn turns to winter, and a heavy snowfall traps the inhabitants of the estate within its walls, tensions rise to fever pitch. Sally Hinchcliffe’s Hare House is a modern-day witch story, perfect for fans of Pine and The Loney. 'A beautiful, slow burn of a novel, eerie and shimmering in equal measure' - Mary Paulson-Ellis"
