Justice for Kevin Durant
When Murray brings his girlfriend on a family holiday, his father can barely stand to be in the same room as her. Ailis assumes Harris simply doesn't like her. He does.
What follows is a years-long unravelling of two people who know exactly what they are to each other and choose, again and again, not to say it.
As Murray works away for weeks at a time and Ailis slowly fills their empty house with excuses to see Harris, the space between them becomes its own kind of intimacy.
Tender, precise, and quietly devastating, Justice For Kevin Durant is a love story in which almost nothing happens. Almost.
Hamsters Can't Blink
Eilidh Adair is good at showing up for everyone except herself.
When she returns to work after ten days she'd rather forget, she finds Sam — quietly persistent, unhurried, the kind of person who carries things for people without being asked. She finds herself wanting to let him, which is the most frightening thing she can think of.
Told with warmth, honesty and a lot of tea, Hamsters Can't Blink is a love story about the small, ordinary moments that hold us together, and what happens when you finally let someone see the days you're least proud of.
For anyone who has ever said I'm fine and meant something else entirely.
