Pastures New

An unnamed narrator sits in a cafe overlooking a train station, sipping a green juice and people-watching. A small white butterfly flutters through the air; a calico cat jumps onto a wall; cherry blossom petals fall, softly, to the ground. Life stands still for one moment. He is preparing to visit his terminally ill wife in hospital. So begins this moving novel exploring the distance between people, places and memories in simple and elegant prose, as Yamazaki raises questions around what family means, how we think about death, and how we express love; particularly in a society where work is often prioritised. Beautiful Distance is a profoundly affecting story looking unflinchingly into dying and its aftermath through the prism of community, and quiet yet powerful acts of love, as we move through time and memory, navigating the moral complexities of both love and death alongside our narrator.

Beautiful Distance

NAMED A MOST ANTICIPATED BOOK FOR SUMMER BY NPR*, WOMAN'S WORLD, PARADE, AND BOOKBUB “A sweeping romantic drama with a touch of magical realism. ...Cleeton's ability to pull readers in quickly and deeply through her storytelling makes her a go-to author for an immersive reading experience. ...Vivian and Joe's love is unforgettable, and so is Cleeton's writing.”* When an astronaut is lost in space, his wife relives their epic love as she attempts to unravel what truly happened to him, in this sweeping love story set against the backdrop of the 1960s Space Race, from the New York Times bestselling author of The Lost Story of Eva Fuentes. When Joe Mitchell launches into space, the world is watching. It’s 1968, and the country waits with anticipation and excitement for another successful mission, another celebration as America sets its sights on the Moon. And then comes the knock at the door. Joe Mitchell’s spacecraft has lost contact. He and his fellow astronauts onboard are feared to be dead. It’s his wife Vivian’s worst nightmare come to life, her grief suddenly taking center stage as the nation waits and mourns. In her quiet moments, Vivian relives their memorable story, unable to accept that this is the end to a love that felt as though it was written in the stars. As the investigation surrounding Joe’s lost spacecraft intensifies and the mishap is written off as an operator error, Vivian is determined to clear her husband’s name and uncover the mystery of what happened in space. When someone starts sending Vivian messages—messages she believes only Joe could send—she begins to wonder if their love is stronger than space and time, and she’ll do whatever it takes to bring her husband back to her.

An Infinite Love Story

The remarkable new work of fiction from the Booker Prize-winning author of&nbsp;Last Orders,&nbsp;Waterland&nbsp;and&nbsp;Mothering Sunday 'His archly modulated, precise prose, reminiscent at times of his friend Kazuo Ishiguro's, has lost none of its power ... immensely readable late-career Swift from start to finish,&nbsp;Twelve Post-War Tales&nbsp;is a marvel of the storyteller's art.'&nbsp;Financial Times'There can surely be no better contemporary writer to take on history's circularities that Graham Swift. ... "Growing up in the 1950s there was all the evidence of war." Swift has said. This beautiful cluster of stories shows how vital it remains in recollection.' Observer'Skilful, generous and humane, these 12 tales suggest the complexity and heartbreak of being engaged on such an uncertain journey.'&nbsp;Guardian'The characters in this collection share their thoughts and memories with the reader as though with a close friend, and the warmth of their confidences balances against their sadness. We feel we've been in the trenches with them, even when a story has gone no farther than the living room.' Wall Street Journal'These stories, depth charges of love, anguish, resentment, each in their way relating to the effects of WW2, are so good. Swift at his best - and he's on top form here - has the humanity and wry humour of William Trevor', Patrick Gale'Quite wonderful. Such grace and clarity - I'm filled with admiration',&nbsp;Philip Pullman In the aftermath of the Second World War Private Joseph Caan, a young Jewish soldier stationed in Germany, seeks the truth about lost family members; in the 1960s a father focuses on his daughter's wedding even as the Cuban Missile Crisis brings the world to the brink of disaster; in 2001, while planes fly into the Twin Towers, a maid working for US Embassy staff in London wonders if her birth on the day of the Kennedy assassination shaped her life; and at the height of a pandemic lockdown, Dr. Cole, a retired specialist in respiratory disease, returns to work and recalls a formative childhood encounter with illness and much more. These are just a few of the challenged characters we meet in Graham Swift's Twelve Post-war Tales. &nbsp; Tender, humane, funny and moving, Swift's latest work of fiction displays his quietly commanding ability to set the personal and the ordinary against the harsh sweep of history. It is an outstanding achievement, confirming his status as one of the great and subtlest voices of our age. &nbsp;

'A marvel of the storyteller's art', Financial Times

Twelve Post-War Tales

'An absolute gem. Dark, funny and iconoclastic' THE TIMES 'Razor-sharp and deeply unsettling while being endlessly entertaining. A triumph.' JENNIE GODFREY, author of THE LIST OF SUSPICIOUS THINGS 'A delicious, literary feast. A wickedly funny and sharply relevant novel of duplicity and betrayal with a glittering cast of literary greats.' ANNA MAZZOLA, author of THE BOOK OF SECRETS 'A masterful novel, OBJECTS OF DESIRE is utterly irresistible; it's dark and wickedly fun. One of my favourite books of the year so far.' FLORA CARR, author of THE TOWER 'A biting, unflinching study of art and deceit . . . Neil Blackmore has achieved his best work yet.' ANNIE GARTHWAITE, author of CECILY *** Hugo Hunter was the most celebrated gay novelist of the 20th century. He published two masterpieces, securing his place alongside the dazzling literary greats of the 1950s, 60s and 70s, and rubbing shoulders with everyone from Truman Capote to James Baldwin, Gore Vidal and George Orwell.But after decades of fame and excess, just as New York City enters the 1980s and awakes to the coming horror of AIDS, Hugo finds himself running out of money. Out of nowhere, he receives an extraordinary lifeline: an offer from his longtime publisher. Two million dollars, for a memoir and a new novel. The money will solve all his problems - except for one thing. Hugo Hunter is an imposter. He stole both of his novels. Now, how far will he go to produce a third? At once dark, moving and deliciously vicious, OBJECTS OF DESIRE traverses the 20th century, featuring an astonishing cast of characters. It is both a colourful glimpse into the lives of the cultural elite, and a tense, gripping story of betrayal, deceit, and literary fraud. *** Praise for Neil Blackmore 'An astounding story . . . I relished every page.' SIR IAN McKELLAN 'One of the most original voices in historical fiction today.' THE TIMES 'Compellingly real.' DAILY MAIL

All Grown Up

'A beautiful, moving read' Prima 'A tangled tale of maternal inheritance... A must' PATRICK GALE, author of Notes from an Exhibition A tender story of mothers, daughters and breaking family patterns When Winnie is happy, Lillian is happy, too. It's the mid-1960s and Lillian Wells is a clever teenager with a daring pixie cut, tangerine mini-dress and new boyfriend, Jim, who works at the brewery. Even better, he lives across the road, so she's never far from her bee-hived, high-heeled single mother Winnie, who is prone to attacks of the nerves. But Lillian harbours secret dreams of going to art school in London. When she gets in, how will she tell her mother - and Jim - that she's leaving Abingdon - and them? Forty years later, Lillian's own daughter Rachel is heading off to university, but Lillian is not sure either of them are ready. She sees herself and Winnie in Rachel, who is ambitious and intelligent, but also prone to nervous habits. As Lillian tries to bite her tongue about Rachel's symptoms, she is reminded of what everyone in Abingdon used to say: It's a short road to Longbrook... the local institution for the mentally ill. Lillian knows this is all too true, but in a family where secrets run through generations like the rushing waters of the local river, can she bring herself to break the cycle and tell Rachel the truth about her past? 'Roberts is an exceptionally tender and empathetic writer' GRAZIA 'Profoundly moving and utterly comepelling' JAKE ARNOTT, author of The Long Firm

Greedy

One afternoon in 1976, teenagers Jean and Tom share an almost imperceptible look across the grounds of Compton Manor, a boarding school for boys with problems. Their gaze marks a secret intimacy, one defined as much by violence as by friendship and desire. As the boys' connection deepens, so too does the risk that surrounds it. Jean - son of a single mother, Jewish, on a scholarship, forever an outsider - wonders whether the relationship might offer a way out of a life marked by alienation. But what if the only true path to freedom is to disappear altogether? Spellbinding and evocative, Jean is a meditative narrative of loss and escape distilled into the heartrending story of an intense and dangerous adolescent love.
