    All it takes is one bad match.
     
    Charlie Starborne hops over the fence and strolls down the street to the police precinct, where she is serving a year-long court-appointed sentence. She signs in, name and date, May 3, 2042. She would do anything to escape the bland, bleak-walled precinct . . . until she is assigned to help develop the EASY program. This program can scrub through a person’s memories to identify culprits in a crime.
     
    When tragedy strikes, Charlie sees no option but to steal the EASY program, her heart set on solving the crime. But her past and new obstacles are there to hold her back. Her new mission will be difficult as she will face old enemies, be betrayed by her loved ones, and fight her way to an answer. Can she take the leap she needs to find a murderer and let go of a past that is staring her in the face?

    “A buoyant and affecting portrait of four disparate souls striving to become their true selves on the cusp of major social change.” — Kathleen Winter, author of Undersong
    		 
    “With intimacy, acuity, and grace, Pamela Mulloy captures the complex inner lives of her characters, who yearn to become themselves as England lurches into war.” — Jack Wang, author of We Two Alone
    		 
    It is 1938 and rumours of a coming war are everywhere. On a quiet morning in September outside a small town in England, a plane crashes and four people are brought together in the aftermath. Miriam, a young woman devastated by multiple miscarriages, rises from her bed and hurries to the scene. There she meets Frank and together they pull the wounded pilot, Peter, from the wreckage. Miriam soon meets Frank’s aunt Audrey, the family rebel, who has refused to marry and travels the country as a reproductive-rights activist.
    		 
    It is Frank who teaches Miriam to fly. As Miriam prepares to co-pilot with Frank in a prestigious air race from London to Manchester, she uses flight to escape from confronting her inability to bear children. Miriam is also drawn into Audrey’s activism, and the women dig in even as the looming war threatens to set back their cause.
    		 
    Rich with historical detail, As Little As Nothing beautifully explores themes of resistance, the strength of new bonds, and the various ways we reinvent ourselves.
