TOMORROW

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.

OUT OF THIS WORLD

In 1972, Robert Beech, First World War veteran, is killed by a car bomb. The event cuts short the career of his son Harry, a news photographer. Ten years later, Harry, now working in aerial photography, and his daughter Sophie, visiting an analyst in New York, remain scarred and divided by the event. Around their broken relationship builds a story that is acutely private yet sweepingly public, at the heart of which lies Harry’s lifelong dedication of the camera.
