Arcadia Books features literary fiction, translated fiction, biography, gay, gender studies and travel literature. The Book of Chameleons, by Angolan novelist Jose Eduardo Agualusa, is a particular gem, narrated from the perspective of a once-human lizard. Monica Waitzfelder's L'Oreal Took My Home: The Secrets of a Theft, 'details Rosenfelder's fight with L'Oreal, replete with detailed documentation', in the words of Forbes magazine.
BlackAmber publishes multicultural books (literary fiction, non-fiction and work in translation). Recent hits include Alex Wheatle's debut novel, Brixton Rock and Jamaican-born theatre director Yvonne Brewster's pithy memoirs, The Undertaker's Daughter. A 2007 highlight is Mistress, the latest novel by internationally best-selling Indian author Anita Nair.
Bliss Books, Arcadia's imprint for popular bestsellers, has chalked up notable successes with Lady Colin Campell's The Real Diana, and Corinne Hofmann's extraordinary series of memoirs (The White Masai, Reunion in Barsaloi and, in 2007, Back from Africa). Watch out for the UK film release of The White Masai.
EuroCrime features the best of European crime writing, from Denmark, Finland, France, the Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Spain, the UK and elsewhere. Dominique Manotti's gripping novel Dead Horsemeat, set in the world of crooked French horseracing and featuring Superintendent Daquin, was short-listed for the 2006 Duncan Lawrie International Dagger.
