Graham Swift
Tomorrow
On a midsummer's night Paula lies awake. Mike, her husband of twentyfive years lies asleep beside her. Her two teenage children, Nick and Kate, sleep in nearby rooms. The next day, Paula knows, will define all their lives. It is 1995. A revelation lies in store. Her children's future lies before them. The house holds a family's history and fate. As a millennium draws to a close, and as a day draws nearer, Paula's intensely personal thoughts touch on all our tomorrows. Tomorrow is a magical exploration of coupledom, parenthood, and a unique meditation on the mystery of happiness.

Brian Thompson
Clever Girl
Listeners of Brian Thompson's first volume of memoir, Keeping Mum, were delighted by the story of a young boy's struggle to run a wartime household in his father's absence. In Clever Girl, a brilliantly observed portrait of the 1950s, we join him again on his erratic journey towards adulthood. Brian Thompson groped his way to being a grown up. He excelled at school and met a girl - the girl of the title - who recognised his ambition to escape the miserable lives his parents had made for each other. After National Service (with the dubious assistance of his platoon sergeant, one Idi Amin), an old-style university education and the beginnings of rock and roll, Brian did what was considered to be the right thing. He married the Clever Girl.

Jane Elizabeth Varley
The Truth About Love
Your love, or your career. Which would you choose? Sally lives in a Victorian house in London, recently converted into two roomy apartments. She's a woman with an apparently enviable life. Married to banker Edward and mother of two-year-old Louis, the family occupies the spacious upper floors. But beneath a happy exterior, Sally struggles with the legacy of Edward's past: his ex-wife, his resentful step-daughter and Edward's mixed feelings about the family he left behind. When Sally discovers the house holds a secret, her need to escape the strains of her marriage lead her on an obsessive quest to discover the truth.
