Rafaela Acuña y Daubón remembers everything that matters: her beautiful childhood in San Juan, her marriage to Peter, uprooting their children, Ruth & Benny, to the American Midwest, & losing all sense of her place in the world. So she tells no one when her memory begins to slip. Her daughter, in New York with a family of her own, wishes she could forget her muddy feelings about where she comes from – the same feelings which motivated her 22-year-old daughter Daisy to reconnect with their past. Daisy, who has momentarily forgotten everything, hears the word critical in a hospital room in San Juan & remembers, all at once, the car that hurtled towards her, the terrible storm, & something else. What was it? Now Ruth & Rafaela must return to the city where it all began, to gather by Daisy’s bedside & confront the twists of fate that have caused a growing rift in their family & led them to this moment.

Centuries ago, the holy river Saraswati flowed through what is now Punjab. Many dismiss this as myth, but when Satnam arrives in his ancestral village for his grandmother’s funeral, he finds water in the dried-up well behind her house. The discovery sets in motion a contentious scheme to unearth the lost river as an act of Hindu nationalist pride. The river changes the course of Satnam’s life, and those of six others. As legends and histories resurface, the distant relatives – from a Canadian eco-saboteur to a Mauritian pest exterminator to a Bollywood stunt double – are brought together in a rapidly changing India.
Dell Danvers is barely keeping it together. She’s behind on rent for her bathroom-less studio apartment (formerly a walk-in closet), she’s being plagued by perpetual, spiking stomach pain, and her younger sister, Daisy, is in a coma at a hospital that wants to pull the plug. Unemployed and subsisting on selling plant propagations, Dell starts her own livestream in order to fundraise $14,000 for a week of private life support for Daisy. Finally, Dell has found something she’s good at. But when a troll-turned-incel threatens to expose her past, Dell must reckon with what her digital life ignores and what real redemption means.
It’s the summer of 1939. London is on the brink of catastrophic war, and everybody knows it. On a final night of abandon, Iris Hawkins, an ambitious young financial secretary (and ‘not an entirely good girl’), pursues a one-night stand. Some people, if you make the mistake of sleeping with them, leave you with a rash, or regrets. It seems that sleeping with young Geoff, a technical whizz at the BBC’s nascent television unit, leaves you pursued by a creature from another world. As Britain threatens to fall apart and the Nazi bombs descend, Iris finds herself stepping off the known world’s edge, into a reality where otherworldly powers lurk and act, where spirits can be called and enslaved, where time can be warped and rewound, and where a magical fascist is plotting her path back in time, gun in hand, in search of Churchill, to fire a shot that will end the war before it ever began. Naturally, only Iris can stop her.

Fiona, Jamie’s maw, is trying her best, but since finding the courage to kick out her abusive husband her confidence has never recovered. She knows their lives can’t carry on like this, but she’s at a loss to know how to change things. But Jamie thinks he’s discovered an answer to his problems. A community who understands him. They’re called incels. The more Fiona tries to reach Jamie, the further away he seems to get. And when a chance arises for Jamie to go to London and meet his new friends, Fiona must find a way to reconnect with her son before he is lost for ever.
