The Book of Sand
Theo Clare
The Book of Sand: the first novel in an epic series created
by one of the finest and most inventive storytellers working
in the UK today.
SAND. A hostile world of burning sun.
Outlines of several once-busy cities shimmer on the horizon.
Now empty of inhabitants, their buildings lie in ruins.
In the distance a group of people - a family - walk towards us.
Ahead lies shelter: a 'shuck' the family call home and which
they know they must reach before the light fails, as to be out
after dark is to invite danger and almost certain death.
To survive in this alien world of shifting sand, they must find an
object hidden in or near water. But other families want it too.
And they are willing to fight to the death to make it theirs.
It is beginning to rain in Fairfax County, Virginia when
McKenzie Strathie wakes up. An ordinary teenage girl living an
ordinary life - except that the previous night she found a sand-
lizard in her bed, and now she's beginning to question
everything around her, especially who she really is ...
Two very different worlds featuring a group of extraordinary
characters driven to the very limit of their endurance in a place
where only the strongest will survive.

secret and warning Alison, she turns to Joan for help.
Working in Lost Property wouldn't be Joan's first choice of job,

could she leave Bob - and Gran - behind?
Being a railway girl isn't always easy but together they can

25The Shadow Child
Rachel Hancox
A pacy reading group novel about family secrets and
trauma, for fans of Eve Chase and Rachel Joyce
Cath and Jim are a happily married couple whose lives are
completely upended when their teenage daughter, Emma,
walks out and never contacts them again. They have no idea
where she is, nor why she left, nor even whether she is safe.
They are devastated, yet must somehow continue to live.
A year later they use a small inheritance to buy a house to
rent out, an almost perfect terraced house quite unlike
anything they ever had when younger. And into this house
move a recently married couple who remind Cath and Jim of
themselves at a time when they were full of hope, before their
lives went wrong.
But these two young people also have traumas in their past
which, like Jim and Cath, they cannot acknowledge, not even
to each other; secrets that have the power to destroy them.
The Shadow Child is a book of hope and loss, of coming to
terms with trauma and learning to love and to live again. Most
of all, it's a book about how you can never quite escape the
shadows of your past, especially when those shadows just
happen to be children ...

Jewell, this biography will be perfect for superfans and
aspiring authors alike
Have you ever thought about what it takes to become a
bestselling writer?
If so, The Truth About Lisa Jewell is the book for you. It is the
story of how a novel is written, from before the start to after

But this is more than just a study of an author at the top of her
game. Like Lisa Jewell's much-loved novels, it's also the story
of a relationship - between the bestselling author and the
professor of cultural studies who has made her his muse -
evolving slowly as the world comes gradually out of Covid. It's
the story of two very different writers getting to know each
other gradually through words; two complete strangers
becoming something more like friends.

Gill Hornby
A wonderfully original, emotionally complex ‘reading-group’
novel, set in 1804 following Anne Sharp. A governess who
became close to Jane Austen and her family, and the
challenging "upstairs downstairs" dynamic she found
herself enmeshed in.
FROM THE #1 BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF MISS AUSTEN
On the 21st January, 1804, Anne Sharpe arrives at
Godmersham Park in Kent to take up the position of
governess. At 31 years old, she has no previous experience of
either teaching or fine country houses. Her mother has died,
and she has nowhere else to go. Anne is left with no choice.
For her new charge - twelve-year-old Fanny Austen - Anne's
arrival is all novelty and excitement.
The governess role is a uniquely awkward one. Anne is neither
one of the servants, nor one of the family, and to balance a
position between the 'upstairs' and 'downstairs' members of
the household is a diplomatic chess game. One wrong move
may result in instant dismissal. Anne knows that she must
never let down her guard.
When Mr Edward Austen's family comes to stay, Anne forms an
immediate attachment to Jane. They write plays together, and
enjoy long discussions. However, in the process, Anne reveals
herself as not merely pretty, charming and competent; she is
clever too. Even her sleepy, complacent mistress can hardly fail
to notice. June 2022
