As the summer wears on

Framed around Drake’s key voyages as a window into this crucial moment in British history

Nicola Barker weaves humor and tragedy through this fresh and original collection

she needs scandal and intrigue – and one morning

and strangest of all

And when what she thinks is a loan from a friend puts her deeper in debt than ever

that our biggest triumphs lie not in never falling

and The Water Dancer—that chronicles the journey of one American family

Connie herself has no recollection—a childhood accident has erased all memory of her earlier days

Only hope will drive it out

with great physical strength and an astonishing self-belief
