Author Erinna Mettler returns to FortyTwo with her successful novel Starlings, join us to grab a signed copy. STARLINGS is a daisy-chain novel set in the city of Brighton. Each chapter tells the tale of one of its varied inhabitants.

Disparate lives collide in surprising ways, showing that often people are not in control of their own destinies, but are shaped by those they live next to. The episodes are not arranged chronologically, and though most are contemporary, others are set in the 1940s, 50s and 60s 70s and 90s. These tales are told cinematically but not in any uniform style. Characters crop up in narratives that are not their own: in the thoughts of others, in photographs, at parties, or simply walking by.

The city itself is the one constant of the stories; its landmarks appear with varying significance. The Piers and the sea in particular are used to drive narratives, and provide reference points for the interior lives of the characters.

This year FortyTwo alos brings you festive cheer for children in local author Helen Baugh’s latest published book RUDY’S WINDY CHRISTMAS.

Also the latest trend in colouring books from Sarah Rayner will be available – A CALMING COLOURING BOOK…a perfect present to banish the stress of Christmas!
