Marianne Messman longs to escape her loveless marriage to an uncaring husband and decides to try her luck in the tiny port town of Kerdruc in Brittany. Whilst there, Marianne meets a host of colourful characters, and it is this cast of true Bretons who become Marianne's new family, and among whom she will find love once again.

Into The Water by Paula Hawkins
In the last days before her death, Nel called her sister. Jules didn't pick up the phone, ignoring her plea for help. Now Nel is dead. They say she jumped. And Jules has been dragged back to the one place she hoped she had escaped for good, to care for the teenage girl her sister left behind. But Jules is afraid. So afraid. Of her long-buried memories, of the old Mill House, of knowing that Nel would never have jumped. And most of all she's afraid of the water, and the place they call the Drowning Pool . . .

Reverberating with the deep bonds of family, and the hope that comes with reconciliation, Anything Is Possible again underscores Elizabeth Strout's place as one of today's most respected and cherished authors.
