‘Winman’s narrative voice is beautifully true’ The Times

If you’ve never read the phenomenon that is WHEN GOD WAS A RABBIT, now is your chance. It’s a book about a brother and sister. It’s a book about childhood and growing up, friendships and families, triumph and tragedy and everything in between. More than anything, it’s a book about love in all its forms.

Then experience the sheer joy of A YEAR OF MARVELLOUS WAYS, a book that Rosamund Lupton described as ‘a glorious poem of a novel’. This is a story about Marvellous Ways, an eighty-nine-year-old woman who sits by a creek in Cornwall, waiting for a last adventure. It’s about Francis Drake, a young soldier who washes up there, reeling from war and broken-hearted. It’s about the magic in everyday life and the lure of the sea, and how we carry on when grief comes snapping at our heels.

Two stories. Two journeys. Two reading experiences you’ll never forget.
