292:(2023) Neffy is a young woman running away from grief and guilt and the one big mistake that has cost her her career. When she answers the call to volunteer in a controlled vaccine trial, it offers a way for her to pay off her many debts and, perhaps, to begin to make up for the past. But when the world outside her hospital window is utterly transformed, Neffy finds herself abandoned – along with the remaining four other volunteers – in a future they never believed could actually unfold. With a finite amount of food left and her sense that the strangers she is with may be holding back secrets, Neffy must decide whether she’s safer staying inside the unit or braving the unknown of the streets outside. While she weighs up her choices, she is introduced to a pioneering and controversial technology that allows her to revisit memories from her life before. Seduced by the possibility of being reunited virtually with her loved ones, perhaps the only way she will ever be able to see them again, her drive to leave the unit begins to falter.

music, in its garden grow (and sometimes kill) all they need to survive. To an outsider it looks like poverty, but to them it is home. When Dot dies unexpectedly, the twins are exposed to a truth with far-reaching repercussions. As members of the local community start to make things difficult for the twins, Jeanie wonders how they will cope in a world which can be cruel and unyielding. The book portrays rural poverty in the 21st century, forcing readers to see beyond the unsavoury, the unconventional, the "other", and recognise what unites us all: the beating heart beneath. The story is of resilience and hope, homelessness and hardship, love and survival, centred on two marginalized but remarkable people.
265:(2017) tells the story of Ingrid Coleman who writes letters to her husband, Gil, about the truth of their marriage, but decides not to send them. Instead she hides them within the thousands of books her husband collects. After she writes her final letter, Ingrid disappears from an English beach. Twelve years later, her adult daughter, Flora, comes home after Gil says he has spotted Ingrid through a bookshop window. Flora, who has existed in a limbo of hope, grief, imagination and fact, wants answers, but fails to realise that what she is looking for is hidden in the books that surround her.

271:(2018): Frances Jellico is dying and remembers the summer of 1969, when she was commissioned to survey the follies in the garden of Lyntons – a decrepit and almost derelict country house.

As Frances falls under her new friends' spell and she learns their stories, the house offers up its secrets, until her life is changed forever.
