Gabrielle Zevin’s Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow explores themes of identity, disability, failure, and redemption, all against the backdrop of our need to connect and to love. Follow friends Sam and Sadie as they dive into the world of game design, where they find fame, fortune, and tragedy. Invoking Macbeth’s soliloquy, Zevin reframes the relentlessness of life as an opportunity for rebirth and redemption, with endless restarts and endless try agains, just as in the virtual world of Sam and Sadie’s game, “Pioneers”.

When several children in a small village in rural Northern Ireland die from a mysterious illness, the resilient young Hannah Adger must deal with the pain and grief of losing her fellow classmates. Hannah’s quest to discover the cause of this illness leads to devastating and extraordinary consequences, as the world crumbles around her. Belfast-based author Jan Carson presents an Agatha Christie-style whodunit, with dark and supernatural undertones.

It's been nearly a decade since the horrifying murder of sixteen-year-old Joan Wilson rocked Crow-on-Sea, and the events of that terrible night are now being published for the first time.

That story is Penance, a dizzying feat of masterful storytelling, where Eliza Clark manoeuvres us through accounts from the inhabitants of this small seaside town.

When a young woman contacts a newspaper to claim that her daughter is the result of a virgin birth, it is down to journalist Jean Swinney to discover whether she is a miracle or a fraud.

As the investigation turns her quiet life inside out, Jean is suddenly given an unexpected chance at friendship, love and - possibly - happiness.

But there will, inevitably, be a price to pay.
