Her name is Meryem, but you’d be surprised at how difficult people find that to spell. Meryem is twenty-five years old and has just started working at the offices of Supersaurio – the most important supermarket chain in the Canary Islands. Watched over by the chain’s benevolent blue dinosaur logo, Meryem contends with co-workers who don’t mean to sound sexist, but aren’t women just harder work than men?, a boss who seems determined to make Meryem’s life as miserable as possible, and Omar – smart, funny, very-senior-but-nevertheless-seems-like-a-normal-person Omar, who also happens to be devastatingly handsome. We follow Meryem as she makes the transition from intern, to temp, to arrive finally at the promised land of fixed employment – only to find that she might have left part of her soul behind.

Fleeing a pitch-dark past, Emilia Innocenti arrives in a tiny village deep in the mountains of Piedmont, Northern Italy, with one aim; to hide away from the world. Surrounded only by a handful of inhabitants, the looming Alps and the weight of her own terrible crime, Emilia is determined to let isolation be her punishment. Equally intent on cutting himself off from the world is Bruno, one of her only neighbours. In the wake of a devastating loss, living in complete solitude seems like the perfect complement to the pain in his heart. But when Emilia and Bruno meet, the two realise they can’t be alone forever – and maybe, they no longer want to be. As Emilia’s dark secret threatens to break the surface, both will question everything they thought they knew about each other – and themselves.

It begins on an orange afternoon, cool but ruminant, close to Halloween. Sunny, only four years old, looks up from the terrarium-sized tub of toys in the living room and asks her mother when she died. Over the course of the next strange, strained year, Sunny will refer repeatedly to her previous lives, and how they ended. Her parents, Lena and Odhran – who rushed headfirst into family life after an accidental pregnancy and a hasty registry office wedding – are left desperate for answers. Is their child suffering from disassociation, a psychological disorder, or something more? Has she been contaminated by their own haunted histories – by Lena’s experiences as an indie musician in the era of sleaze, by a shady legacy of madness in Odhran’s family? Can we ever really protect our children? What if we can’t?

A dinner party during a heatwave, when the fridge breaks, alcohol replaces water and an unexpected guest joins their ranks.
