Jamie Oliver's 5 Ingredients topped a list that, beneath the cookery, revealed a hunger for big-think nonfiction: Yuval Noah Harari's Sapiens and its sequel Homo Deus both charted, alongside Prisoners of Geography. The striking pattern is dystopia returning to relevance, Margaret Atwood's The Handmaid's Tale charting twice as the TV adaptation landed, with Orwell's 1984 not far off. Good Night Stories for Rebel Girls signalled a new feminist children's wave. The surprise is school set texts, An Inspector Calls and a GCSE poetry guide, selling in bulk as exam-prep titles. A year of grand history, revived dystopia and curriculum reading.
