Samantha Harvey
A whole novel in one day aboard the International Space Station, six crew circling the Earth sixteen times. It suits readers who want a short book that reads more like a long look at the planet than a story.


Kazuo Ishiguro
An English butler takes a drive through the West Country in 1956 and looks back on a lifetime of service at Darlington Hall. A classic of unreliable self-deception and restraint, for readers who like what is left unsaid.
