WE SINNERS
PYLVAINEN, HANNA
The Rovaniemis and their nine children belong to a deeply traditional church (no drinking, no dancing, no TV) in
modern-day Michigan. A normal family in many ways, the Rovaniemis struggle with sibling rivalry, parental
expectations, and forming their own unique identities in such a large family. But when two of the children venture
from the faith, the family fragments and a haunting question emerges: Do we believe for ourselves, or for each
other? Each chapter is told from the distinctive point of view of a different Rovaniemi, drawing a nuanced,
kaleidoscopic portrait of this unconventional family. The children who reject the church learn that freedom comes
at the almost unbearable price of their close family ties, and those who stay struggle daily with the challenges of
resisting the temptations of modern culture. With precision and potent detail, We Sinners follows each character
on their journey of doubt, self-knowledge, acceptance, and, ultimately, survival.

A WEEK IN WINTER
BINCHY, MAEVE
High on the cliffs of the west coast of Ireland, overlooking the windswept Atlantic ocean, is Stone House. Once
falling into disrepair, it is now a beautiful hotel specialising in winter holidays. With a big, warm kitchen, log fires
and understated, elegant bedrooms, it provides a welcome few can resist, whatever their reasons for coming...
Henry and Nicola are burdened with a terrible secret, and are hoping the break at Stone House will help them
find a way to face the future. Winnie, generally one to make the best of things, finds herself on the holiday from
hell. Then there's John, who arrived on impulse after he missed a flight at Shannon; eccentric Freda, who claims
to be a psychic - and the silent, watchful Nora, who seems so ready to disapprove. But looks can be deceptive...
