The trunk
£12.99When Inji takes a job at Wedding & Life, the popular matchmaking service, she never imagines her role will be with NM, their secretive marriage division that rents out ‘field husbands and wives’ to their wealthiest clientele for a limited time. Just like a real marriage, Inji’s assignments involve a wedding, some sex and a bit of housework, there is even a special helpline in case of any DV. It’s all tailored exactly to the client’s desires – no legal battles, no fights, no emotional baggage. In no way is Inji interested in finding real love, despite everyone trying to convince her otherwise – her brazen neighbour Granny, her flirtatious best friend Shi-jeong, and her failed blind date, Tae-seong. Then one of Inji’s old husbands, a mysterious high-profile music producer, requests her back for another year. Soon Inji’s own dark past will begin to unravel.

The party
£12.99Evelyn had the surprising thought that bodies were sometimes wiser than the people inside them. She’d have liked to impress somebody with this idea, but couldn’t explain it. On a winter Saturday night in post-war Bristol, sisters Moira and Evelyn, on the cusp of adulthood, go to an art students’ party in a dockside pub; there they meet two men, Paul and Sinden, whose air of worldliness and sophistication both intrigues and repels them. Sinden gets hold of their phone number, but the sisters don’t expect further contact and are surprised when he calls a few days later to invite them to another party, at the grand suburban mansion Paul shares with his brother and sister. Moira accepts despite Evelyn’s misgivings, and as the night unfolds in this unfamiliar, glamorous new setting, the sisters learn things about themselves and each other that shock them, and release them into a new phase of their lives.

Tell me everything
£16.99It’s autumn in Maine, and the town lawyer Bob Burgess has become enmeshed in an unfolding murder investigation, defending a lonely, isolated man accused of killing his mother. He has also fallen into a deep and abiding friendship with the acclaimed writer, Lucy Barton, who lives down the road in a house by the sea with her ex-husband, William. Together, Lucy and Bob go on walks and talk about their lives, their fears and regrets, and what might have been. Lucy, meanwhile, is finally introduced to the iconic Olive Kitteridge, now living in a retirement community on the edge of town. Together, they spend afternoons in Olive’s apartment, telling each other stories. Stories about people they have known – ‘unrecorded lives,’ Olive calls them – reanimating them, and, in the process, imbuing their lives with meaning.
