SPANISH BEAUTY by Esther Garcia Llovet and Richard Village is publishing today!

“A very well-written and disconcerting book, that is short, elusive and genre breaking, all set beneath “clouds scattered strangely like spelling mistakes.” - The Critic.

@HarareReview It is! It is haunting, eye-opening with its moments of levity, and we are so thrilled to see people enjoying it as much as we do!

"...a historical era's devastating impact on an overlooked society is explored in Samahani...What is less expected is how the general mess of history becomes shockingly specific at the denouement of this finely structured, fascinating novel" @IrishTimes

@bookyvikki ... it’s set in the mountains of northeastern Italy, it centres on an aristocratic landowner, relations with the local community, issues of landholding, privilege, the logging industry and climate change. The themes of the book couldn’t be more Scottish if it was set in Deeside.

[Foundry Editions @FoundryEditions]

@bookyvikki So we’re a publisher specialising in literature from the Mediterranean and we have a book called The Duke by Matteo Melchiorre, an Italian author with the translation by Antonella Lettieri, coming out in October 2025. Now as to why this is a Scottish book…

For the history lover who treasures the stories of our past, Samahani is a must-read. With its epic storytelling and sharp commentary on race, class, and sexuality, it’s a book that lingers long after the final page.
