  Winner of the Bath Novel Award 2020
  When lonely and socially isolated translator, Gareth, takes up traditional Japanese archery in 1990s Bristol, he learns that to study Kyudo is to reach out, to another culture, another time, other people… But when one of them reaches back, two lives that should never have touched become strangely entangled.
  In wartime Tokyo, Tanaka Mie finds herself wandering the burned-out ruins of her dead parents' fire-bombed home with only hazy recollections of how she survived. Setting out on a hike to a mountain village shrine, away from the charred city, she begins a life to which she is not sure she is entitled, a life which feels like living on the other side of the sky.
  To visit the past or the future, even in imagination, is to change it. But it is also to be changed.
  The Arrow Garden is a delicately-wrought tale of truth, selfhood, and acceptance, which transcends time in its lyrical exploration of what it means to live.

  In the world of Magismondo,
  magical powers are rare and in high demand.
  Shape shifters, thought whisperers, aromaticians,
  water drivers, and fire makers are all treasured jewels
  in the royal collections. That is, when they're found.
  
  Arrow knows nothing of all this. She's just a 17-year-old girl,
  who lives with her parents in a forest cabin near the village of
  The Beeches far from the court of the kingdom of Wolverfield.
  
  Nevertheless, Arrow already knows that the tiny spark
  that will sometimes appear in the palm of her hand
  has the power to flare up at the most inconvenient times.
  
  One day, Arrow gets into a fight with her arch nemesis, Fenri,
  and fails to suppress her anger and control her magical powers.
  Soon, rumors of her unruly fire powers reach the royal palace
  and force Arrow to flee The King's soldiers.
  
  Her escape brings her to the capital city of Rimshield,
  where street fights and public disorder are punishable by
  deportation to the Golgutu prison camp beyond the sea.
  
  Now, Arrow must learn to control her temper,
  lest she be forced to spend the rest of her days
  among Wolverfield's most hardened criminals.
  
  Join Arrow on a grand adventure in Magismondo!
