What Does It Feel Like?
£8.99Eve is a successful novelist who wakes up one day in a hospital bed with no memory of how she got there. Her husband, never far from her side, explains that she has had an operation to remove the large, malignant tumour growing in her brain. As Eve learns to walk, talk, and write again – and as she wrestles with her diagnosis, and how and when to explain it to her beloved children – she begins to recall what’s most important to her: long walks with her husband’s hand clasped firmly around her own, family game nights and always buying that dress when she sees it. Recounted in brief anecdotes, each one is an attempt to answer the type of impossible questions recognizable to anyone navigating the labyrinth of grief.

The Exes
£18.99Natalie chose James carefully, because he’s different from all the men she’d loved before. Calm. Competent. Kind. And there are three very good reasons she needs to be so careful. Their names are Marc, Luca and George. Natalie prefers not to think about what they did to her. Let alone what she had to do to them. Except now, on a night they are meant to be celebrating how happy they are together, Natalie and James are lying in separate bedrooms. She is asking herself how she could have been foolish enough to let yet another man hurt her like this. Slowly, Natalie realises she’s already holding a knife. But she’s not going to do anything with it. She’s not. Not again.

House-proud Lydia Gordon, whose idols are Princess Di and Delia Smith, is determined to put on a show that will impress everyone – with her posh garden and state-of-the-art television and her sweet husband and two children, Hanna and David.

This Is a Love Story
£9.99Abe and Jane have been together for 50 years: as two among the thousands of starry-eyed young lovers in Central Park, as frustrated and exhausted parents, as an artist and a writer whose careers were taking flight. Now, Jane is seriously unwell, and together she and Abe look back on their marriage – on the parts they cherished, and those they didn’t: Abe’s early betrayal; and the trials of raising their son Max, who, now grown, still believes his mother chose art over parenthood.

Bad Asians
£18.99Diana, Justin, Errol, and Vivian have been told their entire lives that success is guaranteed by following a simple checklist. They worked hard, got good grades, and attended a great university – only to graduate into the Great Recession of 2008. Despite their newly minted degrees, they’re unemployed, stuck again under their parents’ roofs in a hypercompetitive Chinese American community. So when Grace – once the neighbourhood golden child, now a Harvard Law School dropout – asks to make a documentary about the crew, they say yes. It’s not like her little movie will ever see the light of day.
