 |summary=Philida falls in love with Frans, the son of Cornelis Brink and they have four children together creating a tragedy on two counts: only two children survive and their love is troubled. For this is South Africa in 1830 and Philida is only the Brinks' 'knit girl': a slave specialising in the family's knitting.

 |summary=Malay Chinese Teoh Yun Ling travels to the Cameron Highlands of Malaya to meet the legendary Japanese garden designer and expert, Nakamura Aritomo.  As the sole survivor of a World War II Japanese slave labour camp, Yun Ling has many reasons to hate the Japanese but some things are stronger than hatred.  For, whilst in the camp, she promised her sister a Japanese garden.  When life became difficult during interment, the sisters discussed and visualised the finished result to keep them hanging on.  Ling's sister perished but the dream of a memorial garden drives her on.  Nothing is that straightforward, though.  The designer refuses the commission.  Instead he suggests that she stays, as his apprentice, learning the art in order to become her own designer.  Yun Ling agrees and discovers more than horticultural finesse.

 |summary= Novels about narcotic substances are notoriously hard to pull off. The challenge is to make the induced events interesting and meaningful to the, presumably, non-induced reader. In Narcopolis, Jeet Thayil pulls this off surprisingly well for me, although it's fair to say that it won't be everyone's taste. It's not a book that the Bombay/Mumbai tourist office will be keen to promote. A cover quotation links the book to a similar vein (OK, that's a poor choice of words in the circumstances) to Trainspotting and that's not far from the mark.

 |summary= Thomas Cromwell is now very far from his humble beginnings. He is Henry VIII's chief minister. Katherine of Aragorn is no longer Queen. The Princess Mary has been disinherited. Anne Boleyn wears the crown and has produced a daughter, Elizabeth. But there is no sign of a son and Henry is beginning to regret his secession from Rome. We pick up from [[Wolf Hall by Hilary Mantel|Wolf Hall]] during the royal progress of 1535 and from there, we chart the destruction of the new Queen.
