There are some big forces at work in this week’s new releases: oceans, technology, history, motherhood and the occasional supernatural presence.

Pack a coat, some sunscreen and perhaps working knowledge of political philosophy for this week’s reading.

The fiction takes us from the slums of Delhi to the Scottish court of Mary, Queen of Scots. In non-fiction, Richard Flanagan takes aim at the orthodoxies of our time, while other writers turn their attention to colonial history, first res
