Burke C: Yesteryear

Yesteryear

From the prize-winning author of The Giant Dark comes a beautiful exploration of the ties that bind us and the scars they leave when they break. Aliyah and Ava arrive in England from opposite corners of the world with dreams built upon Emily Bronte, Brideshead Revisited and Richard Curtis films. Instead, in the shadow of their historic, fairytale campus, they get the sense that they don't belong. The two form a Vita-and-Virginia-like bond, building a world full of stories that they write together. For a time, they are inseparable in their identity as 'strange girls'. When the end of university looms, they will have to return to the world where a devotion like this seems impossible to maintain. Years later, Aliyah has everything Ava wants - a room of her own and a publishing deal - and, worse, the thing Ava was certain neither of them had ever wanted: a sensible doctor husband. Arriving back in London for a mutual friend's hen party, Ava is desperate to unpack the truth of what she really meant to Aliyah. Was what they had - whatever you call it - real? And what will become of the stories they tell themselves about one another?

One week, every three years. Two women come together to test the endurance of their bond and to ask: what if? 2013, England. Ava and Aliya meet at university just outside of London. Ava is the quiet American who didn't come to England to meet boys in Jack Wills sweatpants with gelled hair. She's here for Emily Brontë and Brideshead Revisited. Everything disappoints her until: Aliya. Aliya is shy, earnest and this is the first time she has been away from her parents who live in Pakistan and the sense of freedom is overwhelming. When they meet, there's an immediate spark. While everyone else is getting drunk on love, life, sex, drugs, they are getting drunk on each other. They move in together, become twin-like, wife-like in their devotion. They sleep in the same bed, read out loud to each other, finish each other's sandwiches. But in their very last week, something breaks between them and Ava flies back to America alone. Three years later, Ava swishes into London with her new boyfriend, a director opening a play in London. Aliya is nervous and feels stalled in a life that used to seem full of promise. Meanwhile Ava's been at drama school and her life looks glamorous and exciting. But as the cracks start to appear in the façade, the two begin to find their fragile connection again. Will this be the year they admit their feelings for each other? Or next time? Or the time after that? What readers are saying about Sarvat Hasin: 'Heartbreaking, beautiful, epic. I loved it.' Kiran Millwood Hargrave, author of The Mercies 'Blindingly brilliant . . . I cannot wait to read everything she writes.' Daisy Johnson, author of Everything Under 'A beautiful and imaginative reinterpretation that had me spellbound.' Jennifer Saint, author of Ariadne 'A wholly original story.' Guardian

Utterly unmissable literary fiction

An epic&nbsp;comedy about the quest for transcendence in an anything-but-transcendent America, set amid the gorgeous landscapes of the American west: A “spiritual journey” full of “fun, joy, love, courage and compassion” (Pulitzer Prize-winning author Richard Powers) from the author of the perennial cult bestsellers&nbsp;The River Why&nbsp;and&nbsp;The Brothers K. A random bolt from a DC-8 falls from the sky, killing a child and throwing the faith of a young Jesuit into crisis.&nbsp; A boy’s mother dies on his fifth birthday, sparking a lifetime of repressed anger that he unleashes once a year in reckless duels with the Fate, God, or Power who let the coincidence happen. A young woman on a run in Seattle experiences a shooting star moment that pierces her with a love that will eventually help heal the Jesuit, the angry young man, and innumerable others. The journeys of this unintentional menagerie carry them to the healing lands of Montana and a newly founded community—where nothing tastes better than Maker's Mark mixed with glacier ice, and nothing seems less likely than the soul-filling delight a troupe of spiritual refugees, urban sophisticates, road-weary musicians, and local cowboys begin to find in each other's company.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; With&nbsp;Sun House, David James Duncan continues exploring the American search for meaning and love that he began in his acclaimed novels&nbsp;The River Why&nbsp;and&nbsp;The Brothers K.

An epic comedy, sixteen years in the making, about love, spirit, and the quest for transcendence in an anything-but-transcendent America, from the author of the perennial cult bestsellers The River Why and The Brothers K.
