"The Seas took me back to how I felt as a kid, when you're newly falling in love with literature, newly shocked by its capacity to cast a spell..." Maggie Nelson "[It] blew me away because of the beauty of the language . . . I found myself highlighting about 85% of the book for the language. It is so beautifully written" Jodi Picoult Moored in a coastal fishing town so far north that the highways only run south, the unnamed narrator of The Seas is a misfit. She's often the subject of cruel local gossip. Her father, a sailor, walked into the ocean eleven years earlier and never returned, leaving his wife and daughter to keep a forlorn vigil. Surrounded by water and beckoned by the sea, she clings to what her father once told her: that she is a mermaid. True to myth, she finds herself in hard love with a land-bound man, an Iraq War veteran thirteen years her senior. The mesmerizing, fevered coming-of-age tale that follows will land her in jail. Her otherworldly escape will become the stuff of legend. With the inventive brilliance and psychological insight that have earned her international acclaim, Samantha Hunt pulls readers into an undertow of impossible love and intoxication, blurring the lines between reality and fairy tale, hope and delusion, sanity and madness.

THE TIN HOUSE From the beginning, life shows that it could be unbelievably cruel to Tilly, a young girl born in Bilston in the Black Country of the English Midlands. Orphaned at the age of ten, Tilly is sent to live in a convent before being placed into service on a dairy farm. When she turns eighteen, she meets a kind, hard-working man named Jim, falls in love, and marries him. Together, Tilly and Jim raise a large family in a rustic Tin House-five of their nine children born before they even install indoor plumbing. Daily living at the Tin House presents constant challenges to the struggling family. During one rough winter, Jim is forced to cut down seven of their precious apple trees as well as sacrificing his daughter's precious piano in order to keep everyone warm. Several of the children endure injuries and accidents; a stern, well-to-do aunt even attempts to buy one of Tilly's children to raise as her own. The eldest daughter suffers through a physically abusive marriage, before finally finding her way home to safety. But at the Tin House, where a cast of quirky friends and beloved relatives congregate on weekends and the neighborhood kids gather for sledging parties, bonfires and games of rounder and tracking in the fields, the kettle is always on for a cuppa, and no one ever goes hungry. The Tin House is a celebration of Tilly's life, through the humorous times as well as the heartbreaking. Above all, it's a reminder of the sanctity of family and a parent's unconditional love for her children, no matter how difficult life may sometimes seem. ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Elizabeth Owen, one of nine children, wrote The Tin House to pay tribute to her wonderful parents, Tilly and Jim. This is Elizabeth's first book, but it upholds the values she lived with all her life: family, love, loyalty, and helping one another. She was exposed to asbestos for ten years at her job, and also smoked heavily, which started her of on a path that eventually led to a lung transplant. Elizabeth's family included two dearly loved brothers who valiantly battled cancer. Elizabeth, with the help of her family, cared for her mother Tilly, until the last few months of her life. Tilly died at age 86. Elizabeth and Dean have 5 children, 12 grandchildren, and 3 great granddaughters.The story in this book ends in 1999. In 2004, Jay and Thomas, her sons, bought The Star and Garter where the family shared so many happy times.

'Messed-up families, scandalous love affairs, art, life, death and the great state of Florida in one delicious, darkly funny package. Kristen Arnett is a wickedly talented and a wholly original voice' Jami Attenberg What does it take to come back to life? In the wake of her father's suicide, Jessa-Lynn Morton has stepped up to manage his failing taxidermy business while the rest of the Morton family falls apart. Her mother starts sneaking into the shop to make alarming art with stuffed animals; and while her brother Milo withdraws, his wife, Brynn - the only person Jessa's ever been in love with - leaves home without a word. A string of unexpected incidents opens up the chance for the Mortons to mend: can they piece themselves together again? Kristen Arnett's breakout debut is a darkly funny family portrait; a peculiar, bighearted look at love and loss and the ways we live through them together. 'This book is my song of the summer' Parul Seghal, New York Times 'Wonderful' Esmé Weijun Wang, Guardian 'Explores love, loss and death and is guaranteed to keep you gripped throughout' Mirror 'The writing is subtle and meditative, with the tactile weight of dense fur' New Yorker

The beautifully told story of a day in the life of Isabel, a twenty-something from Portland, Oregon, that has all the hallmarks of a cult favourite Isabel lives in Portland, Oregon and works in a library, repairing damaged books. She longs to visit the destinations revealed in their pages. Her daydreams are peopled by memories from her Alaskan childhood, the glaciers that are being lost. Meanwhile, she's just the tiniest bit lonely and lovelorn. The object of her affection, a soldier recently returned from Afghanistan who also works in the basement of the library, seems equally quiet and so perhaps it's no surprise that their contact has been limited to only snatched moments. But today is the day that will all change. Isabel is determined to finally open up to him, to find the perfect vintage dress for this evening's party, and to invite him along. But, of course, life rarely happens as we plan it.

A dazzling, award-winning new novel by the 'offensively gifted' author of How the Soldier Repairs the Gramophone It's the night before the feast in the village of Fürstenfelde (population: an odd number). The village is asleep. Except for the ferryman - he's dead. And Mrs Kranz, the night-blind painter, who wants to depict her village for the first time at night. A bell-ringer and his apprentice want to ring the bells - the only problem is that the bells have gone. A vixen is looking for eggs for her young, and Mr Schramm is discovering more reasons to quit life than smoking. Someone has opened the doors to the Village Archive, but what drives the sleepless out of their houses is not that which was stolen, but that which has escaped. Old stories, myths and fairy tales are wandering about the streets with the people. They come together in a novel about a long night, a mosaic of village life, in which the long-established and newcomers, the dead and the living, craftsmen, pensioners and noble robbers in football shirts bump into each other. They all want to bring something to a close, in this night before the feast. The highly regarded and bestselling author Saša Stanišic was born in 1978 in what was then Yugoslavia (now Bosnia and Herzegovina), and currently lives in Germany. Before the Feast, his second novel, was a bestseller in Germany and won the prestigious Leipzig Book Fair Prize; his award-winning debut How the Soldier Repairs the Gramophone has been translated into 30 languages, and is also published by Pushkin Press.

WINNER OF THE COSTA NOVEL AWARD 2021 SHORTLISTED FOR THE WOMEN'S PRIZE 2021 'Her strongest yet... a powerful, beautiful novel that shows us our land as it really is: a place of shelter and cruelty, innocence and experience' THE TIMES __________________________________________________________________________ When you live on the edge of society, it only takes one step to fall between the cracks Twins Jeanie and Julius have always been different from other people. At 51 years old, they still live with their mother, Dot, in rural isolation and poverty. Inside the walls of their old cottage they make music, and in the garden they grow (and sometimes kill) everything they need for sustenance. But when Dot dies suddenly, threats to their livelihood start raining down. Jeanie and Julius would do anything to preserve their small sanctuary against the perils of the outside world, even as their mother's secrets begin to unravel, putting everything they thought they knew about their lives at stake. Unsettled Ground is a powerful novel of betrayal and resilience, love and survival. It is a portrait of life on the fringes of society that explores with dazzling emotional power how we can build our lives on broken foundations, and spin light from darkness. ____________________________________________________________________ 'The way she writes (with empathy but never sentimentality) moves my heart' ELIZABETH DAY, author of Magpie 'A relevant and powerful exploration of isolation and life on the fringes of society' CLARE MACKINTOSH, author of Hostage 'An atmospheric thriller that's both heartbreaking and heartwarming' RED
