Love Falls
It is July, three months after Lara’s seventeenth birthday, and a week before Charles and Diana’s Royal Wedding. When Lara’s father, a man she barely knows, invites her to accompany him on holiday, she finds herself far away from the fumes of London’s Holloway Road in the sun-scorched hillsides of Tuscany. There she meets the Willoughby family, rife with illicit alliances and vendettas. The more embroiled Lara becomes with them, and with the carelessly beautiful Kip, the more consumed she is with doubt, curiosity and dread. And so begins her intoxicating, troubled journey into self discovery and across the very fine line between childhood and what lies beyond …
Summer at Gaglow
Summer, 1914. It is Emanuel’s twenty-first birthday, and eleven-year-old Eva and her sisters are helping transform Gaglow for a glorious party. But their brother’s arrival is overshadowed by the talk of war that comes with him from Hamburg, and when he is wrenched from the family to serve his country, Eva knows that nothing will be the same again. Seventy-five years later, with the fall of the Berlin Wall, Sarah’s father begins to tell her about Gaglow, the grand East German country estate that will now come back to them. Alternating between Sarah’s bohemian life in London and her grandmother’s childhood during the First World War, Summer at Gaglow unites four generations of an extraordinary family in a tale of loss and love.
Mr Mac and Me
It is 1914, and Thomas Maggs, the son of the local publican, lives with his parents and sister in a village on the Suffolk coast. He is the youngest child, and the only son surviving. Life is quiet—shaped by the seasons, fishing and farming, the summer visitors, and the girls who come down from the Highlands every year to gut and pack the herring.
Then one day a mysterious Scotsman arrives. To Thomas he looks for all the world like a detective, in his black cape and hat of felted wool, and the way he puffs on his pipe as if he’s Sherlock Holmes. Mac is what the locals call him when they whisper about him in the Inn. And whisper they do, for he sets off on his walks at unlikely hours, and stops to examine the humblest flowers. He is seen on the beach, staring out across the waves as if he’s searching for clues.
The Wild
It is the 70’s. In an old bakery converted into a home, two single-parent families have come together under one roof. For nine-year-old Tess it is a new start and she sees in William– the tall, blond guitar-playing father of three– both the father she craves and a lover for her mother, Francine. Her brother Jake, however, feels nothing for William but contempt. When Francine becomes involved with William, Tess– eager to share in their love– tries to please the adults as well as win Jake round. But Tess soon finds that good intentions don’t always bring happiness and that adults are sometimes capable of making mistakes..
