A startling new collection of three never-before-translated stories, from the author of I Who Have Never Known Men
In the wake of some unfathomable war, a woman wanders the forest, forbidden from ever leaving its strange depths. As part of her rigid schooling, a teenage girl is barred from questioning the dogma she is taught to believe. Locked in a loveless marriage, a young woman satisfies her husband’s desires, twice-weekly, as directed – until she begins to pursue her own.
Includes the stories: The Ardennes Forest, The Outcast and The Broom Cupboard
Leaving her comfortable academic London life behind, Charlotte sets sail to the remote island of Tuga to study her beloved tortoises in the field. There, she finds plenty of challenges. A delightful read, joyous, funny and uplifting.

Two sisters must find their way in a world designed to confine them. Marcelle is the elder sister, a woman whose ambitions focus on becoming the companion of a ‘man of genius’. Marguerite is the younger sister, a girl whose sanity depends on breaking free of the oppressive expectations of society.
Both end up focusing their attentions on the same disappointing man.
Marnie, lonely and at a loose end, meets Michael, a teacher, on a 3-day hike arranged by a friend. A touching, unsentimental love story written with the author’s trademark insight, wit and humour.
