The Carhullan Army The world has changed. War rages in South America and China, and Britain - now entirely dependent on the US for food and energy - is run by an omnipresent dictatorship known simply as The Authority.

Haweswater It is 1936, in a remote part of Northern England that has seen little change for hundreds of years, a neighbourhood is dramatically torn apart as planners consider creating a reservoir across the area. An impressive first novel which uses the stunning Lake District landscape as its backdrop, Haweswater is an intense novel about the power of community, the strength of place and the obsessive nature of love. 'Her prose is rich, clear, cold, full of images and immensely sensual. A remarkable debut.' The Times

How to Paint a Dead Man Italy in the early 1960s: a dying painter considers the sacrifices and losses that have made him an enigma, both to strangers and those closest to him. He begins his last life painting, using the same objects he has painted obsessively for his entire career - a small group of bottles. In Cumbria 30 years later, a landscape artist - and admirer of the Italian recluse - finds himself trapped in the extreme terrain that has made him famous. And in present-day London, his daughter, an art curator struggling with the sudden loss of her twin brother while trying to curate an exhibition about the lives of the twentieth-century European masters, is drawn into a world of darkness and sexual abandon.
