The Healing Season of Pottery

Salomé was bullied for years and no one did a single thing to help her. One day she finally snapped. Now at just sixteen years old, she's being held in a secure unit for young offendersSalomé's counsellor, the man whose good opinion is key to her release, is best known for his racist gaffes on reality TV. Her father has recently been diagnosed with liver cancer and her elder sister Miriam's main preoccupation is to get out of their small, close-minded village as soon as possible. Both at home and in the unit, things are unbearably tense. Salomé finds it hard to keep her temper and harder still to think about the crime she is charged with committing. But as time passes, she finds new strength to delve into the reasons for her rage and arrive at her own understanding of punishment, penitence and the paradoxical demands made on her existence as a Black woman. Raw and unsentimental, Confrontations is a powerful depiction of racism and resilience from one of the Netherlands' most exciting new literary voices.

Weddings At Sandcastle Cottage

When Val and Milly find out they're both pregnant, the friends decide that they want to be near each other as they raise their children. Val, a journalist, moves to the posh Brooklyn neighbourhood where Milly, an internet-famous travel writer and influencer, lives with her husband, Harris, a restaurateur. The old friends attempt to pick up where they left off a decade ago, when they were best friends and roommates, before a shared tragedy set their lives on divergent paths. But motherhood hits them each differently. Val is left alone to take care of her newborn daughter as she remembers and retraces her own losses as a daughter. Meanwhile, Milly seems well-suited to new motherhood since she has the help of a supportive young nanny, Cleo, and continues to share online about her beautiful, affluent life, which now includes her baby. As Val begins to fall apart, Milly makes a generous offer: why don't they put the two girls into a nanny share? Cleo can care for them, and Milly won't expect Val to pay more than she can. Val accepts, and she begins to crawl out from under her solitude and unhappiness at being a mother; she forms a friendship with Cleo, a Brooklyn native, and an aspiring musician who depends on her paycheck from Milly. But as Cleo cares for their daughters, she becomes enmeshed in the unspoken tensions between Milly and Val that are finally rising to the surface as they navigate new identities as mothers. The three women wade through shifting allegiances, delicate power relations, and long-guarded silences as they decide who they will be to one another, and what it is they each desire for the future.

The Time of Our Lives

November 18th 1987. Abigail, a mother of two is making her way home to North London from a day's work at Selfridges. At Kings Cross, she gets caught up in the horrendous fire that kills 31 and injures 100. She escapes physically unscathed, but disorientated and desperate to get home to her children - nine year old Robert and six month old Samantha - she slips away from the rescue staff and begins an odyssey that instead takes her further from home. The further she gets, the freer she feels; the longer she's away, the harder it becomes to return. Thirty years pass and Robert and Samantha (now Summer) chance upon a sketch of the two of them, in the window of a bric-a-brac shop in a rundown seaside town in Lincolnshire. It does not take them time to locate the picture's previous owner, living in an isolated cottage. Their Mother. A heartwarming and heartbreaking exploration of family from Jem Lester, author of SHTUM

The Mother of Invention

The Spanner in the Works

A striking and beautifully touching new novel from the author of WHAT'S MINE AND YOURS, for fan of Kiley Reid's SUCH A FUN AGE.

"However you first make your way to Harvester, you'll want to return." -WALL STREET JOURNAL

From the author of Good Night, Mr. Wodehouse and The Cape Ann comes a new tale of resilient womanhood in Harvester, Minnesota. 



Growing up in early twentieth-century Illinois, Ruby Drake is a happy child. But one winter’s night, her beloved parents perish in an accident—and suddenly Ruby finds herself penniless and nearly alone in the world. Her new path eventually takes her to Harvester, where she is lucky enough to find work on the welcoming Schoonover farm. Kind Emma, forward-thinking Henry, and their hired men—ambitious Dennis and reserved Jake—soon become a second family to the orphaned teenager. 



At a historical moment when young women are expected to be focused on courtship and marriage, the industrious, bright Ruby searches for opportunities to expand her horizons at every step. Mastering her responsibilities on the farm. Learning to smoke cigarettes. Borrowing books from the local lending library, reading devotedly and expansively: mythology, romance, poetry. And falling in love with her married neighbor, Roland: “the most beautiful man—maybe in the world.” But when Ruby is asked to care for Roland’s wife in the wake of tragedy, she is torn between duty and passion, between what has been her lot and what could be. 



Jane Eyre set in Faith Sullivan’s “reliably inviting world” (Wall Street Journal), Ruby &amp; Roland is a story of relationships—friendship, romance, and the families we are born with and create—and of one woman’s journey of selfhood on the prairie.
