In the mid 1990s, with the Taliban poised to take over Afghanistan, young NGO worker Gwen is posted in a remote mountain village. Foreign NGOs begin to recall their workers, fearing for their safety, but Gwen refuses to leave. She's full of ideas to empower the women and bring new income to her impoverished community. When she meets and falls for the opium trafficker Syed, she begins to look on the cultivation of poppy in a new light. Together they formulate a plan.
Fifteen years later, Gwen is working for a charity helping migrants in the UK. Her teenage daughter Nadia has never met her Afghan father and is frustrated by life with her opinionated mother. When Gwen's past catches up with her, mother and daughter must negotiate the clash of two worlds.
'Sublime in its rawness, elegant in its outrage and compassionate in its fury.' Ece Temelkuran, Author of The Time of Mute Swans.

Dedalus

Original Fiction In Paperback

Fair Trade Heroin

Andrew Crumey

Britain with the same post-war history as East Europe battling against a totalitarian regime. "The strikingly inventive structure of this novel allows the author to explore the similarities between fictions and history. At any point, there are infinite possibilities for the way the story, a life, or the history of the world might progress. The whole work is enjoyably unpredictable, and poses profound questions about the issues of motivation, choice and morality." The Sunday Times Music, in a Foreign Language won The Saltire Best First Book Award and launched the literary career of one of the UK's cleverest and most original post-modern novelists.

Music, in a Foreign Language

Robert Irwin

A novel about the psychology of terrorism set in algiers in 1959. "Entertaining and very nasty, this calculatedly intellectual comedy succeeds well as an unheroic quest starring Philippe, an interesting monster of disarming modesty." The Listener

The Mysteries of Algiers

A novel about housework featuring Mucor , the spirit of dust and Charles Dickens. "Very funny: it sparkles with brilliance and has a truly superb ending. I confidently predict that there will never be a better novel about housework." The Fantasy Review

The Limits of Vision

Andrew Killeen

An Arabian Nights mystery where Ismail's storytelling entertains the sultan. "I have a story to tell you. It is a tale of adventure, of love, and deception, of destiny and death. It is a tale of kings, and emperors, and of beautiful princesses; but also of poets, pirates, and priests. It is a story to entertain and instruct, to stir the blood, to inflame the senses, to dizzy the mind and rouse the soul..." 'If you like your historical fiction full of action, intelligent and well-researched, then you'll be captivated by Killeen's interweaving plot lines.' David Viner in The Bookseller

The Khalifah's Mirror

Christopher Harris

The memoirs of a court Eunuch at the byzantine court in the 7th century. Memoirs of a Byzantine Eunuch is an archetypal Dedalus novel and bears comparison with David Madsen's masterpiece: Memoirs of a Gnostic Dwarf. Memoirs of a Byzantine Eunuch is very good on unusual Christian sects, Byzantine intrigue and the clash with Islam. It will appeal to readers who like battles, court politics, depravity, ideas and colour in their historical fiction.

Memoirs of a Byzantine Eunuch

Margaret Jull Costa

Geoffrey Farrington

A vampire with a conscience in a gothic outsider classic. The Revenants is a masterpiece of classic Gothic horror.

Like his clients, he is forced to plead guilty to letting his life spiral out of control. it will appeal to lawyers and anyone who has ever been involved with the criminal justice system.

Pleading Guilty

Magnus Irvin

The women of harem are teaching the new sultan how to die through love. "From a publisher committed to literary fantasy comes a work worthy of the category from Robert Irwin whose knowledge of Arab culture allows him to fabricate an Arabian Night that is memorably erotic and very funny. Homosexual giraffes, congress with crodiles, a phalomancer who has a sideline in vulvascopy - what a curious cornucopia! Wonderful!" Brian Case in Time Out A feminist erotic novella with the sultan the plaything of the harem. Erudite and zany and wonderfully funny.
