The Promise (written by Damon Dalgut and narrated by Peter Noble)
The many voices of The Promise tell a story in four snapshots, each one centered on a family funeral and each one happening in a different decade. In the background, a different president is in power, and a different spirit hangs over the country, while in the foreground the family fights over what they call their farm, on a worthless piece of land outside Pretoria.
Klara and the Sun (written by Kazuo Ishiguro and narrated by Sura Siu)
From her place in the store, Klara, an Artificial Friend with outstanding observational qualities, watches carefully the behaviour of those who come in to browse and of those who pass in the street outside. She remains hopeful a customer will soon choose her, but when the possibility emerges that her circumstances may change for ever, Klara is warned not to invest too much in the promises of humans.
A Town Called Solace (written by Mary Lawson and narrated Maggie Huculak, Tajja Isen, Ian Lake)
Set in Northern Ontario in 1972, A Town Called Solace explores the relationships of these three people brought together by fate and the mistakes of the past. By turns gripping and darkly funny, it uncovers the layers of grief and remorse and love that connect us, but shows that sometimes a new life is possible.
No one is talking about this (written by Patricia Lockwood and narrated by Kristen Sieh)
A woman known for her viral social media posts travels the world speaking to her adoring fans, her entire existence overwhelmed by the internet - or what she terms ‘the portal’. Are we in hell? The people of the portal ask themselves. Are we all just going to keep doing this until we die? Irreverent and sincere, poignant and delightfully profane, No One Is Talking About This is at once a love letter to the infinite scroll and a meditation on love, language and human connection from one of the most original voices of our time.
The Fortune Men (written by Nadifa Mohamed and narrated by Hugh Quarshie
Mahmood Mattan is a fixture in Cardiff's Tiger Bay, 1952, which bustles with Somali and West Indian sailors, Maltese businessmen and Jewish families. He is a father, chancer, petty criminal. He is a smooth talker with rakish charm and an eye for a good game. He is many things, but he is not a murderer.
Great Circle (written by Maggie Shipstead and narrated by Cassandra Campbell, Alex McKenna)
Great Circle is an enthralling journey over oceans and continents and a drama of exhilarating power. Combining unforgettable characters and thrilling suspense, it is a sweeping story of loss and obsession, sacrifice and survival, of the unknowable mysteries of freedom, love and life itself.
Light Perpetual(written by Francis Spufford and narrated by Imogen Church)
Light Perpetual is a story of the everyday, the miraculous and the everlasting. Ingenious and profound, full of warmth and beauty, it is a sweeping and intimate celebration of the gift of life.
From the best-selling, prize-winning author of Golden Hill, a novel of the everyday, the miraculous and the everlasting.
Second Place (written by Rachel Cusk and narrated by Kate Fleetwood)
A woman invites a famed artist to visit the remote coastal region where she lives, in the belief that his vision will penetrate the mystery of her life and landscape. Over the course of one hot summer, his provocative presence provides the frame for a study of female fate and male privilege, of the geometries of human relationships and of the struggle to live morally between our internal and external worlds.
