Nina Stibbe

Susan and Norma have been best friends for years, at first thrust together by force of circumstance (a job at The Pin Cushion, a haberdashery shop in 1990s Leicestershire) and then by force of character (neither being particularly inclined to make friends with anyone else). But now, thirty years later, faced with a husband seeking immortality and Norma out of reach on a wave of professional glory, Susan begins to wonder whether she has made the right choices about life, love, work, and, most importantly, friendship. 
 
Nina Stibbe's new novel is the story of the wonderful and sometimes surprising path of friendship: from its conspiratorial beginnings, along its irritating wrong turns, to its final gratifying destination.

One Day I Shall Astonish the World

Amanda Eyre Ward

When Charlotte Perkins enters the 'Become a Jetsetter' contest, she dreams of reuniting her estranged children: Lee, an almost-famous actress; Cord, a handsome Manhattan venture capitalist; and Regan, a harried mother who has never got over Charlotte's gift of a Weight Watchers voucher for her birthday. 
 
But when she wins that once in a lifetime trip, all doesn't exactly go to plan . . . 
 
As long-buried secrets are revealed, and lovers new and old appear, can these four lost adults find their way back to each other? 
 
And more importantly, can they do it without killing each other? 
 
A hilarious and deliciously sun-scented novel about the courage it takes to reveal our true selves and the pleasures and perils of family.

The Jetsetters

A 2020 REESE WITHERSPOON HELLO SUNSHINE BOOK CLUB PICK

Caleb Azumah Nelson

Two young people meet at a pub in South East London. Both are Black British, both won scholarships to private schools where they struggled to belong, both are now artists - he a photographer, she a dancer - trying to make their mark in a city that by turns celebrates and rejects them. Tentatively, tenderly, they fall in love. But two people who seem destined to be together can still be torn apart by fear and violence. 
 
At once an achingly beautiful love story and a potent insight into race and masculinity, Open Water asks what it means to be a person in a world that sees you only as a Black body, to be vulnerable when you are only respected for strength, to find safety in love, only to lose it. With gorgeous, soulful intensity, Caleb Azumah Nelson has written the most essential British debut of recent years.

Callie Coles

Sage Deverill is forced to fight for her independence, happiness and her precious son when her ex-husband turns her life upside down after a shock appearance. At home, the joy of riding brings Sage success in the new racing season. But in the midst of the highs and the lows of their personal lives and professional careers, Sage and Ralph are each pushed to the brink as their future together is thrown into question.

Silver Linings

Sage Deverill, an unhappily married young woman, escapes from her brutish husband and equally unpleasant mother-in-law with her son and flees to her grandparents’ estate and equestrian grounds in Newmarket, the headquarters of the racing world. There Sage finds solace in the bond she forms with a tricky racehorse in her grandfather's care, and she also encounters Ralph Dunbarton, a handsome, intriguing trainer from just the other side of the heath. But just as Ralph and Sage take the first tentative steps towards love, her vengeful husband crashes back into Sage’s life...Tangled Webs is the first book in The Spinning Silks Saga, a contemporary trilogy that pulls on the different threads of our poignant relationships with animals, nature, family, lovers and foes.

Tangled Webs

Emily Henry

When Margaret Ives, the famously reclusive heiress, invites eternal optimist Alice Scott to the balmy Little Crescent Island, Alice knows this is it: her big break. And even more rare: a chance to impress her family with a Serious Publication. 
 
The catch? Pulitzer-prize winning human thundercloud, Hayden Anderson, is sure of the same thing. 
 
The proposal? A one-month trial period to unearth the truth behind one of the most scandalous families of the 20th Century, after which she’ll choose who’ll tell her story. 
 
The problem? Margaret is only giving each of them tantalising pieces. Pieces they can’t put together because of an ironclad NDA and an inconvenient yearning pulsing between them every time they’re in the same room. 
 
And it’s becoming abundantly clear that their story – just like the tale Margaret’s spinning – could be a mystery, tragedy, or love ballad … depending on who’s telling it.
