A lone gunman takes the women and doctors at a controversial abortion clinic hostage. Nobody has ended up there by choice. As the tense negotiation for their release unfolds, hour by crucial hour, back in time through the day that brought the hostages and their captor to this moment, every certainty is questioned, every judgement thrown into sharp relief because matters of life and death look very different when you, or the ones you love, are staring down the barrel of a gun. The novel propels the reader through intertwining characters and uncovers motives in this unflinching exploration of what makes a life. Picoult's technicolour prose is full of nuggets like: 'Coal, with time and heat and pressure, will always become a diamond. But if you are freezing to death, which would you consider the gem?' 355pp, paperback.

The first in the Smythe-Smith quartet, a witty series by the author of the beloved Bridgerton novels. Honoria Smythe-Smith, the youngest daughter of the eldest son of the Earl of Winstead, plays the violin in the annual musicale performed by the Smythe-Smith Quartet. She's well aware that they are dreadful and in fact, she freely admits to her cousins that she is probably the worst of the bunch, but she's the sort who figures that nothing good will come of being mortified, so she puts on a good show and laughs about it. Marcus Holroyd is the best friend of her brother Daniel, who lives in exile. He has promised to watch out for Honoria and takes his responsibility very seriously, but he has his work cut out for him when Honoria sets off for Cambridge determined to marry by the end of the season. She has her eye on the only unmarried Bridgerton who's a bit wet behind the ears. When her advances are spurned, can Marcus swoop in and steal her heart in time for the musicale? A light fun read, and a great first book in the series which also includes characters from Bridgerton. 374pp, paperback with fairly large print and line art.

Hugh Prentice has never had patience for dramatic females, and if Lady Sarah Pleinsworth has ever been acquainted with the words shy or retiring, she has long since tossed them out the window. Besides, a reckless duel has left this brilliant mathematician with a ruined leg, and now he could never court a woman like Sarah, much less dream of marrying her. Sarah has never forgiven Hugh for the duel he fought that nearly destroyed her family, but even if she could find a way to forgive him, it wouldn't matter. She doesn't care that his leg is wounded, it's his personality she can't abide. But forced to spend a week in close company, they discover that first impressions are not always reliable, and when one kiss leads to two, three and four, the mathematician may lose count, and the lady may, for the first time, find herself speechless. The third book in the quartet. 373pp, fairly large print and line art. Paperback.

The final book in the Quartet finds Sir Richard Kenworthy with less than a month to find a bride. He knows he can't be too picky, but when he sees Iris Smythe-Smith hiding behind her cello at her family's infamous musicale, he thinks he might have struck gold. She's the type of girl you don't notice until the second or third look, but there's something about her, something simmering under the surface, and he knows she's the one. Iris Smythe-Smith is used to being underestimated. With her pale hair and quiet, sly wit, she tends to blend into the background, and she likes it that way. So when Sir Richard demands an introduction, Iris is suspicious. He flirts and charms her, gives every impression of a man falling in love, but she can't quite believe it's all true. When he proposes, Iris feels certain that he's hiding something, even as her heart tells her to say yes. 378 weak and wobbly kneed romantic pages. Fairly large print and a quick read, line art.

This Sunday Times bestseller is the story of a strange experiment and a journey into the oddest corners of 1960s Britain and the outer edges of science and reason. Premonitions are impossible, but they come true all the time. You think of a forgotten friend and out of the blue they call. But what if you knew that something terrible was going to happen? A sudden flash, the words CHARING CROSS. Four days later, a packed express train comes off the rails outside the station. A fire in a department store or an assassination. What if you could share your vision and prevent a disaster? In 1966 John Barker, a psychiatrist working in an outdated British mental hospital, set out to investigate this very idea and established The Premonitions Bureau. He would find a network of hundreds of correspondents, from bank clerks to ballet teachers. Among them were two unnervingly gifted 'percipients'. Together the pair predicted plane crashes, assassinations and international incidents with uncanny accuracy. And then they informed Barker of their most disturbing premonition - that he was about to die. The book is an enthralling true story of madness and wonder, science and the supernatural, a journey to the most powerful and unsettling reaches of the human mind. 250pp, illustrated paperback.
