A Pair of Wildly Compelling Novels

About A Pair of Wildly Compelling Novels

Elizabeth Reeder’s An Archive of Happiness is set in the Scottish Highlands over the course of one day during the Avens familys annual get-together. Its the summer solstice and theirs is a fractured family, broken by arguments, by things said and not said, by a mother who has left and a father who was left behind. What happens on this day will force them to cleave together to survive and redraw the traditional bonds of family.

You, Me and the Sea by Elizabeth Haynes is a contemporary story of love and redemption set on a remote, windswept Scottish island from the bestselling author of Into the Darkest Corner and The Murder of Harriet Monckton. Rachel is at crisis point. A series of disastrous decisions has left her with no job, no home, and no faith in herself. But an unexpected job feels like a chance to recover and mend her battered self-esteem.

*This event will be available to watch for three weeks after the broadcast date to accommodate different time zones.
