BELONGING: A JOURNEY OF LOVE - SONIA GANDHI #Belonging #SoniaGandhi #ABorzoiBook We are delighted to finally announce the publication of Belonging: A Journey of Love, Sonia Gandhi’s remarkable memoir, publishing 10 November 2026. A surprising and deeply personal account of love, family, identity and political life, Belonging traces Sonia Gandhi’s extraordinary journey from her childhood in post-war Italy to India, where her life became entwined with one of the country’s most influential political families. Beginning in Cambridge in 1965, where nineteen-year-old Sonia Maino met and fell in love with Rajiv Gandhi, the memoir takes readers through a life marked by profound love and devastating loss, her years alongside Indira and Rajiv Gandhi, and her eventual decision to enter public life. For the first time, the famously private Sonia Gandhi tells her story with warmth and candour, offering an intimate perspective on six decades of Indian history while reflecting on identity, duty, resilience and what it means to find a home. Belonging: A Journey of Love publishes 10 November 2026 from Knopf @aaknopf by @dgaliterary
Hidden Creatures Luscious Leeches, Bashful Botflies and the Wondrous, History-Shaping World of Parasites Hidden Creatures has had a 𝘧𝘭𝘺𝘪𝘯𝘨 few weeks of coverage, swipe to take a look → Welcome to the hidden, squirming world of parasites – some of the most misunderstood, and most important, creatures with whom we share the Earth. And our bodies. Dr Dino Martins is an award-winning entomologist and biologist from Kenya’s Turkana Basin – where life on Earth began – and he has made it his life’s mission to demystify these beguiling beings. Hidden Creatures takes us on a journey around the world ten times over – from the wilds of East Africa to the rainforests of the Amazon, from Borneo to the public parks of London. Along the way, we encounter brilliant and eccentric experts and students who join Martins on his adventures to investigate not just parasites but their astonishing cast of hosts: elephants and rhinos, hyraxes and hippos, and, of course, the elusive human. ‘Your world will be larger for reading this book’ CHLOE DALTON author of Raising Hare Published by @wmcollinsbooks in the UK Published by @aaknopf in the US by @dgaliterary
