What’s inside: detailed story snapshots

Ellie and the Harpmaker — Meet Dan, a harp-maker on Exmoor who prefers perfectly triangular sandwiches, the reassuring scent of coffee and the quiet rhythm of his workshop. His world is safe, ordered and deliberately free of surprises. Then there is Ellie, a dreamer whose imagination has dimmed as she pours herself into keeping a flawless home for her husband, Clive. This gently moving novel explores how two very different lives can intersect and heal, written with tactile detail by an author who knows the music of small moments.

Call of the Penguins — An unlikely friendship blooms between nine-year-old Daisy and the near-nonagenarian Veronica. Veronica is fiercely independent, impeccably dressed and has lived most of her 87 years alone by the sea. Daisy’s bravery and curiosity rekindle Veronica’s appetite for adventure, and together they share a surprising passion for penguins. This is a heartwarming children’s series-style tale that also appeals to adult readers who love multigenerational friendships and seaside settings.

Away with the Penguins — Veronica McCreedy returns in this affectionate portrait of an 85-year-old heroine who loves Darjeeling tea and wildlife documentaries, and who is never without her ruby-red lipstick. Whether collecting litter from the beach, searching for misplaced glasses, or barking instructions at her assistant Eileen, Veronica’s voice is vivid, funny and full of life. A lovely standalone story about dignity, independence and finding joy at any age.
