Eleven-year-old Meg Lefleur has learned the hard way to rely on no one.<\/p>\n Ever since her beloved mother failed to come home last Christmas Eve, she\u2019s been one of the ‘unadoptable’ girls at the town\u2019s orphanage, where she fights each day to keep her wits sharp and her spirit unbowed.<\/p>\n When she meets Birdie, a young woman who has come to Oxford determined to remind her socialite sister of the impoverished family she left behind, for the first time in a long while it seems someone else might care about Meg\u2019s future.<\/p>\n But as the Depression tightens its grip, Birdie begins to suspect her sister\u2019s charmed life may be founded on a tapestry of lies. Then, Birdie encounters Charlie, a woman haunted by loss who has been pushed to the brink with nothing left to lose.<\/p>\n Drawn together by circumstance, they find unexpected kinship among a disreputable, determined band of women. But in a town steeped in hypocrisy, even the smallest act of defiance can have dangerous consequences…<\/p>\n Borrow The Calamity Club<\/em>\u00a0\u2192<\/a>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”2_5,3_5″ _builder_version=”4.27.6″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”2_5″ _builder_version=”4.27.6″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/suffolkcommunitylibraries.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/The-House-That-Eats-the-Dead.jpg” alt=”The House That Eats the Dead” title_text=”The House That Eats the Dead” url=”https:\/\/libbyapp.com\/search\/suffolklibraries\/creator-4073228\/page-1\/12223376″ url_new_window=”on” _builder_version=”4.27.8″ _module_preset=”default” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_enabled=”0″][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”3_5″ _builder_version=”4.27.6″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.8″ _module_preset=”default” text_font_size=”19px” text_line_height=”1.3em” link_font_size=”19px” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n Max Doty<\/strong><\/p>\n The new house is a fresh start for Claire and her family. It\u2019s a move towards the quiet suburban life she has craved since her turbulent childhood; a step up the corporate ladder for her husband, Tom; and a safe haven for their two children.<\/p>\n Yet, as they unpack their boxes, she senses something is wrong…<\/p>\n Fresh flowers dry up, store-bought eggs are inexplicably hollow and her daughter\u2019s favourite toy disappears. Claire soon confronts a series of impossible truths: the house is hungry. It\u2019s devouring anything that was once alive. And only Claire and Tom, the owners of the house, will remember that this \u2018food\u2019 ever existed.<\/p>\n When Claire exploits the house\u2019s power in a moment of weakness, she and the house forge a fragile bond. But as its hunger intensifies and Claire starts to lose control, she fears who else might be drawn to her home \u2013 and what sinister appetites they\u2019ll bring.<\/p>\n Borrow The House That Eats the Dead<\/em>\u00a0\u2192<\/a>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”2_5,3_5″ _builder_version=”4.27.6″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”2_5″ _builder_version=”4.27.6″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/suffolkcommunitylibraries.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Death-Writ-Large.jpg” alt=”Death Writ Large” title_text=”Death Writ Large” url=”https:\/\/libbyapp.com\/search\/suffolklibraries\/creator-86911\/page-1\/11803222″ url_new_window=”on” _builder_version=”4.27.8″ _module_preset=”default” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_enabled=”0″][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”3_5″ _builder_version=”4.27.6″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.8″ _module_preset=”default” text_font_size=”19px” text_line_height=”1.3em” link_font_size=”19px” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n Susie Dent<\/strong><\/p>\n When mysterious symbols appear as graffiti around Oxford, lexicographer Martha Thornhill recognises them from an alphabet created by a deceased writer whose papers she once worked on. <\/p>\n But this is no publicity stunt, and tensions intensify when further graffiti is found near the body of a university lecturer.<\/p>\n Martha is not the only one to have doubts when the suspicious death is assumed by police as suicide. Called upon to lend their linguistic expertise to the case, Martha and her colleagues begin to unearth a tragedy that extends beyond the ancient walls of the university. <\/p>\n As new messages portend more death, it’s clear that a spirit of vengeance is stalking the city’s streets, and may be reaching out towards them too.<\/p>\n Borrow Death Writ Large<\/em>\u00a0\u2192<\/a>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”2_5,3_5″ _builder_version=”4.27.6″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”2_5″ _builder_version=”4.27.6″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/suffolkcommunitylibraries.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/The-Things-We-Never-Say.jpg” alt=”The Things We Never Say” title_text=”The Things We Never Say” url=”https:\/\/libbyapp.com\/search\/suffolklibraries\/creator-70729\/page-1\/12767633″ url_new_window=”on” _builder_version=”4.27.8″ _module_preset=”default” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_enabled=”0″][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”3_5″ _builder_version=”4.27.6″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.8″ _module_preset=”default” text_font_size=”19px” text_line_height=”1.3em” link_font_size=”19px” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n Elizabeth Strout<\/strong><\/p>\n Artie Dam is a man with a secret. He spends his days teaching history to high schoolers, expanding their young minds, correcting their casual cruelties, and lending a kind word to those who need it most. He goes to holiday parties with his wife of three decades, makes small talk with neighbours, and, on weekends, takes his sailboat out on the beautiful Massachusetts Bay. <\/p>\n He is, by all appearances, present and alive. But inside, Artie is plagued by feelings of isolation. He looks out at a world gone mad\u2014at himself and the people around him\u2014and turns a question over and over in his mind: how is it that we know so little about one another, even those closest to us?<\/p>\n And then, one day, Artie learns that life has been keeping a secret from him, one that threatens to upend his entire world. Once he learns it, he is forced to chart a new course, to reconsider the relationships he holds most dear\u2014and to make peace with the mysteries at the heart of our existence.<\/p>\n Borrow The Things We Never Say<\/em>\u00a0\u2192<\/a>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”2_5,3_5″ _builder_version=”4.27.6″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”2_5″ _builder_version=”4.27.6″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/suffolkcommunitylibraries.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Rites-of-the-Starling.jpg” alt=”Rites of the Starling” title_text=”Rites of the Starling” url=”https:\/\/libbyapp.com\/search\/suffolklibraries\/creator-1264369\/page-1\/12768136″ url_new_window=”on” _builder_version=”4.27.8″ _module_preset=”default” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_enabled=”0″][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”3_5″ _builder_version=”4.27.6″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.8″ _module_preset=”default” text_font_size=”19px” text_line_height=”1.3em” link_font_size=”19px” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n Colm Toibin<\/strong><\/p>\n Calandra\u2019s five kingdoms are on the verge of destruction.
