OUT OF THIS WORLD

EVER AFTER

Bill Unwin, an academic of dubious status, has never recovered from the death of his actress wife and is now convalescing from a recent brush with his own mortality. Powerful memories crowd in on him – childhood days in Paris; his exuberant, glamorous mother; his mysterious father; and the brash young American who becomes his step-father. Mingled with this emerges a tender portrait of his relationship with his wife.

LAST ORDERS

Four men once close to Jack Dobbs, a London butcher, meet to carry out his last wish, to have his ashes scattered into the sea. A funny, moving and humane story. Man Booker Prize Winner.

THE LIGHT OF DAY

On a cold but dazzling November morning George Webb, a former policeman turned private detective, prepares to visit Sarah, a prisoner and the woman he loves. As he goes about the business of the day he relives the catastrophic events of two years ago that have both bound them together and kept them apart. Making atmospheric use of its suburban setting and shot through with a plain man's unwitting poetry and rueful humour, The Light of Day is a powerful and moving tale of murder, redemption and of the discovery, for better or worse, of the hidden forces inside us.

TOMORROW

Paula Hook and her husband have a dramatic announcement to make to their sixteen year old twins which will change their lives for ever. They have been putting this off for years deciding to wait until theie sixteenth birthday.
