'A sumptuous treat' Bolu Babalola
'Breathtaking ... dare I say, intoxicating' Okechukwu Nzelu

A blistering and seductive debut novel that pulls you into the thrilling and exclusive world of wine

A mysterious invitation to drink the oldest bottle of wine in the world - who could resist?

A wine influencer, a rising star sommelier, a caustic food critic and an ingenuous American millionaire gather at a sprawling French vineyard estate at the request of a renowned Grand Sommelier.

Each arrives at a crucial point in their lives, and each has something to prove. As glasses are emptied, rivalries fermented and secrets spilled, the guests and their host must confront hard truths that could change their lives forever.

Heady and subtly powerful, Lush is a bittersweet reckoning with class, beauty, hedonism and desire.

'Intoxicating' Times

About Amplify Bookstore

An anti-racist social enterprise bookstore specialising in BIPOC books.

Only about 11% of books published are by BIPOC authors — so unless you specifically seek out books by BIPOC authors, you aren't likely to find very many of them organically. At Amplify, BIPOC authors are highlighted and celebrated. Here, they don't have to fight to be seen, and you don't have to fight to find them.

We hope that in our shop, you can discover a new favourite read, find stories that speak uniquely to you, learn about a culture outside your own (or more about your own histories), and gain a better understanding of the systems that connect us all.

I loved how inclusive this space was, there were dyslexia friendly books and a space for books about queer love, a bit of something for everyone.
