In 2008, Turin and Sanchez up-ended the world of fragrance with their critically acclaimed Perfumes: the A–Z Guide, one of Amazon's best books of the year, described by John Lanchester in the New Yorker as "ravishingly entertaining," by India Knight in the Sunday Times (UK) as "one of the best books I have ever read," by Hilary Mantel as "opinionated, knowledgeable, sharply written and surprisingly comprehensive … a purely enjoyable book," and by Philip Hensher as "a work of the highest criticism, one which elevates writing about perfume to the best sort of writing about wine or rock music."

The long-awaited biography of the genius who masterminded Henry VIII's bloody revolution in the English government, which reveals at last Cromwell's role in the downfall of Anne Boleyn.

'A deeply intelligent and searching book, one that makes you re-consider the narrative of your own life and reframe the story you tell yourself' Hilary Mantel
