J.D. Salinger, C.J. Sansom and Kate Sawyer
The Catcher in the Rye - J.D. Salinger
A 16-year-old American boy relates in his own words the experiences he goes through at school and after, and reveals with unusual candour the workings of his own mind.
What does a boy in his teens think and feel about his teachers, parents, friends and acquaintances?
Dominion - C.J. Sansom
1952. Twelve years have passed since Churchill lost to the appeasers and Britain surrendered to Nazi Germany after Dunkirk. As the long German war against Russia rages on in the east, the British people find themselves under dark authoritarian rule.
There are terrible rumours too about what is happening in the basement of the German Embassy at Senate House. Defiance, though, is growing.
The Stranding - Kate Sawyer
When a new romance becomes claustrophobic, Ruth chooses to leave behind the failing relationship, but also her beloved friends and family, and travels to the other side of the world in pursuit of her dream life working with whales in New Zealand.
But when Ruth arrives, the news cycle she has been ignoring for so long is now the new reality. Far from home and with no real hope of survival, she finds herself climbing into the mouth of a beached whale alongside a stranger.
