The past five years have been the warmest five years in centuries. Last year was the second hottest year ever recorded a

As the blurb from the publisher claims, “exuberance and dread, attachment and estrangement: in this novel, Jhumpa Lahiri stretches her themes to the limit.” Anyone who has read Lahiri’s writing knows she’s an expert in bringing out a range of human emotions. When I start reading this book, I’ll make sure I have a box of tissues nearby for how the story threatens to tear me apart in the most wonderful ways possible. Can’t wait to read this one soon.

In this uncertain and dangerous time, Elsa Martinelli — like so many of her neighbours — must make an agonizing choice: fight for the land she loves or go west, to California, in search of a better life. The Four Winds is an indelible portrait of America and the American Dream, as seen through the eyes of one indomitable woman who will discover the best in herself in the worst of times.

Instead of leading him directly to the afterlife, the reaper takes him to a small village. On the outskirts, off the path through the woods, tucked between mountains, is a particular tea shop, run by a man named Hugo. Hugo is the tea shop’s owner to locals and the ferryman to souls who need to cross over.

Funnily enough, band member Win Butler said the song was written to evoke a sense of a foreboding apocalypse — and he hit the nail on the head. It’s coming, we all knew it was coming, and now we’re scared. We’re running out of time to do all the things we wanted, to show our kids the beauty of our planet.

The son of a struggling single mother, Jamie Conklin just wants an ordinary childhood. But Jamie is no ordinary child. Born with an unnatural ability his mom urges him to keep secret, Jamie can see what no one else can see and learn what no one else can learn. But the cost of using this ability is higher than Jamie can imagine — as he discovers when an NYPD detective draws him into the pursuit of a killer who has threatened to strike from beyond the grave.

As the blurb from the published claims: “Later is Stephen King at his finest, a terrifying and touching story of innocence lost and the trials that test our sense of right and wrong. With echoes of King’s classic novel IT, Later is a powerful, haunting, unforgettable exploration of what it takes to stand up to evil in all the faces it wears.”

I remember ringing my mum earlier this year in May (it feels like aeons ago now), to wish her a happy Mother’s Day. She said, ‘Thank you, love. I hope I can say the same to you one day too.’ I was biting my finger nails and the metallic taste of blood made me stop — I had ripped the cuticle of my index finger. I scuttled to the bathroom for a band-aid and through the half-open window I could hear faint squeals and laughter from the neighbours’ kids playing on the street in front of our house.

Pre-COVID lockdown, I was driving to my friend’s house — a 35-year-old woman with no children (yet?) — and The Suburbs, by Arcade Fire, started playing on the radio. It’s a beautifully-written song, but it prompted bittersweet nostalgia of my ex and the way we used to dream of raising a family together. I turned up the volume and sang along to my favourite line:

ly headed up the physics division at Los Alamos National Laboratory, very quickly made clear that he came down firmly on the “cheerleader” side of our ever-present science advisor seesaw. In an interview in August 1981, he seemed to harken back to the early days when military matters dominated all thoughts of science: “The President has strong defense views and so do I. To have a dovish science adviser in this administration would not enhance his credibility.” The boss likes bombs, so I like bombs.

Texas, 1934. Millions are out of work and drought has broken the Great Plains. Farmers are fighting to keep their land and their livelihoods. The crops are failing, the water is drying up, and dust threatens to bury them all.

It’s not that I want kids right now, but as I get older and that darn ‘biological clock’ keeps ticking away, I can’t help but think of what I want in the future. To have or not to have children? That is the question. Well actually, I have a list of questions: If I have children, what will their world look like in our very real and terrifying climate crisis? Is it cruel to bring a child into the world with such a bleak future? Why do I want to have children? To make me happy? To make my parents happy? Because my friends are having them? Am I selfish for wanting children? And how is it moral to do anything but adopt in a world teeming with humans?

Turn on the news, scroll through social media or just google ‘climate crisis’ — in addition to the constant pandemic panic, you’ll be faced with the blow-by-blow of global warming and the depressing depictions of our planet’s future.

I discovered the author, TJ Klune, in 2020. But I loved his writing so much, he soon earned his place among my favourite authors. After reading and loving The House in the Cerulean Sea, I soon went on a Klune-binge and read ten of his books back-to-back. There’s something special in TJ Klune’s writing. He creates characters that feel more real than most authors and is adept at describing scenes that fill your heart with warmth.

Another historical fiction novel coming from the author of the much-acclaimed books, Nightingale, Great Alone, and Firefly Lane — this one is bound to captivate the readers and make them feel all the right emotions. I don’t expect this to be an easy journey. I expect it to shake me, break my heart, and show me the depths of strength and resilience humans are capable of.
