The Echoes
"From the award-winning novelist, a ravishing new novel set between London and rural Australia, both a love story and a ghost story. Max didn't believe in an afterlife. Until he died. Now, as a reluctant ghost trying to work out why he is still here, he watches his girlfriend Hannah lost in grief in the apartment they shared and begins to realize how much of her life was invisible to him. In the weeks and months before Max's death, Hannah was haunted by the secrets she left Australia to escape. A relationship with Max seemed to offer the potential of a fresh new chapter, but the past refused to stay hidden. It found expression in the untold stories of the people she grew up with, and the events that broke her family apart and led her to Max. Both a celebration and autopsy of a relationship, spanning multiple generations, The Echoes is a novel about love and grief, motherhood and sisterhood, secrets and who has the right to reveal them-what of our past can be cast away and what is fixed forever, echoing down through the years"--

Wij zijn de wolven
De Bass Rock is een majestueuze rotsformatie die al eeuwenlang vanaf de zee uitkijkt over het Schotse vasteland. Door de jaren heen zijn tegen de achtergrond van deze rotsen de levens van drie vrouwen met elkaar verbonden. Aan het begin van de achttiende eeuw vlucht Sarah weg wanneer ze ervan wordt beschuldigd een heks te zijn. In de nasleep van de Tweede Wereldoorlog moet Ruth wennen aan een nieuw huis, een nieuwe omgeving en een nieuwe echtgenoot. Zestig jaar later staat dat huis leeg. Vivian, rouwend om haar pasgestorven vader, zoekt haar weg in de eigendommen van Ruth en ontdekt haar eigen plaats in de familiegeschiedenis.De levens van deze drie vrouwen zijn ingrijpend door mannen bepaald, maar in hun verbondenheid schuilt de kans op een nieuw bestaan. Wij zijn de wolven is een ingenieuze en meeslepende vertelling, een gelaagd meesterwerk over woede, liefde, misbruik en compassie.

Everything is Teeth
Evie Wyld was a girl obsessed with sharks. Spending summers in the brutal heat of coastal New South Wales, she fell for the creatures. Their teeth, their skin, their eyes; their hunters and their victims. Everything is Teeth is a delicate and intimate collection of the memories she brought home to England, a book about family, love and the irresistible forces that pass through life unseen, under the surface, ready to emerge at any point.

All the Birds, Singing
Jake Whyte has retreated to a remote farmhouse on a craggy British island, a place of ceaseless rains and battering winds, with only her collie and a flock of sheep as companions. But something--or someone--has begun picking off her sheep one by one. There are foxes in the woods, a strange man wandering the island, and rumors of a mysterious beast prowling at night. And there is Jake's relentless past--one she tried to escape thousands of miles away and years ago, concealed in stubborn silence and isolation and the scars that stripe her back. With exceptional artistry, "All the Birds, Singing" plumbs a life of fierce struggle and survival, sounding depths of unexpected beauty and hard-won redemption.
