Beschreibung

“A river winds, around the neck of time
 
The reeds and the memories, the fables and rhymes…”
 
The author of The Water Tower returns with a tender collection of writings, steeped in the landscape of his North West hometown.
 
The Ten People You Meet is a delicately constructed, thought-provoking anthology which offers a powerful and fresh exploration of familiar motifs. Through the eyes of its diverse cast of characters, themes such as love and loss are re-examined with a generous honesty, blending sorrowful reflections and candid narratives with the author’s customary humour and endearing optimism. Each study is painted large across an original and authentic canvas, upon which we find a carefully crafted series of still lifes.
 
Also included is The Gospel – a unique, interconnected cycle of lyrics encompassing meditations on faith, distance, remorse and redemption – featuring Conversations with God, Ascension and the breath-taking Amor.
 
Incorporating poetry, prose, and a selection of Chris Vobe’s own photographs – and littered with moments of mesmerising beauty – The Ten People You Meet seeks to redefine the nature of an anthology, delivering a commanding, immersive portrait of life, death and our relationship with God.
 
Containing the short stories “The Christmas Bauble”, “The Wolf” and “Fishing” – a brand new tale set in Little Bassington featuring the characters Adam Chapman and Clarissa Clements from Chris Vobe’s acclaimed debut The Water Tower.

Disregarded and disobedient, ten-year-old Mary Lennox is sent from India to Yorkshire, and put into the care of an uncle she has never met.
At Misselthwaite Manor, a brokenhearted house full of secrets and strange noises, Mary discovers a garden as lost and neglected as she is. If she can learn to make friends with robins, grumpy gardeners and a boy who speaks to animals, Mary might be able to bring more than just the garden back to life…
The Secret Garden, Frances Hodgson Burnett's tale about the magic of nature and the nature of magic, has been a beloved and quietly radical classic of children's literature since its publication in 1911.

'Memory never stops. It pairs the dead with the living, real with imaginary beings, dreams with history.'
She strikes a pose and the camera shutter clicks: a child playing in the debris of the Second World War. Click. A student discovering parties and men's bodies. Click. An activist fighting for the right to choose. Click. A wife picking out a velvet sofa. Click. A mother taking her eldest to judo. Click. A lover, seducing a younger man. Click. A grandmother presenting her granddaughter to the camera. Click.
Les Années (The Years) is Annie Ernaux's critically acclaimed 'masterpiece' (Guardian), charting a woman's personal and political life against the backdrop of a rapidly changing post-war Europe.
Eline Arbo's inventive stage adaptation was premiered as De Jaren by Het Nationale Theater in The Hague, Netherlands, in 2022, with a cast of five women collectively bringing to life an unapologetic portrait of one woman, and a whole continent. Arbo directed her adaptation at the Almeida Theatre, London, in 2024, in an English language version by Stephanie Bain – with reference to translations by Alison L. Strayer and Tanya Leslie. In 2025, The Years transferred to the Harold Pinter Theatre in London's West End, produced by Sonia Friedman Productions.
