Synopses

The Island Home

Lorna’s life in London feels small but secure, centred on her daughter, Ella. After nearly twenty years away, they leave for the Isle of Kip, the remote Scottish island where Lorna grew up. On Kip, Alice is deeply connected to the community and brings women together through her yoga classes, while Lorna’s return raises the possibility of mending family ties, even as the past resurfaces.

The Lido

Rosemary has spent her life in Brixton, watching the world around her shift and change. The local lido, where she swims every day, remains a steady link to the past and to her husband, George. Kate is new to the area and feels adrift in a city that overwhelms her; starting out as a local journalist, she is determined to make something of her career.

The 24-Hour Café

Stella’s Café stays open day and night, welcoming early risers and night owls, as well as the lonely and the lost. Best friends Hannah and Mona work there as waitresses, drawn to the people they meet and the small kindnesses exchanged. As they settle into the café’s rhythm, they begin to wonder whether it is time to step beyond it and find their own way.
