Rainsongs
Award-winning writer Sue Hubbard delivers a poignant story of transformation, conjuring the rugged beauty of County Kerry's coastline. Newly widowed, Martha Cassidy has returned to a remote cottage in a virtually abandoned village on the west coast of Ireland for reasons even she is uncertain of. Looking out from her window towards the dramatic rise of the Skelligs across the water, she reflects on the loss of Brendan, her husband and charming curator, his death stirring unresolved heartache from years gone by. Alone on the windswept headland, surrounded by miles of cold sea, the past closes in. As the days unfold, Martha searches for a way forward beyond grief, but finds herself drawn into a standoff between the entrepreneur Eugene Riordan and local hill farmer Paddy O'Connell. While the tension between them builds to a crisis that leaves Paddy in hospital, Martha encounters Colm, a talented but much younger musician and poet. Caught between its history and its future, the Celtic Tiger reels with change, and Martha faces redemptive choices that will change her life forever.

Depth of Field
Hannah's Jewish identity is submerged and largely unidentified. Returning to her embryonic career as a photographer, she is convinced that if she finds her roots-some connection with her Jewish past-she will make sense of her life. A failed affair leads to a breakdown, and to her ex-husband gaining custody of her children. Left alone to rebuild her life she begins to realise that we each have to construct our own lives. Identity is not dependent on spurious notions of 'roots'or 'romance'.

Olja Ivanjicki
"Olja Ivanjicki is one of Serbia's most important and best-loved contemporary artists. Producing work since the 1950s, she first came to prominence in her native country as the sole female member of Mediala, a group of painters, writers and architects that made a significant impact on the public and cultural life of Belgrade in the late fifties and early sixties. Recipient of a Ford Foundation scholarship in 1962, Ivanjicki left Serbia to live and work, albeit briefly, in the United States, where she was brought into contact with Pop Art. This was to have a lasting influence on her work." "Ivanjicki's paintings are distinguished by the way they combine figures and symbols from diverse cultur...
Rothko's Red
Rothko’s Red is a collection of ten stories, subtly linked by painting and art, about the lives of women: their hopes, fears, failures and challenges. They reveal the choices and destinies of characters from various backgrounds, embracing the harsh realities of desire, loss and ageing. Powerful, yet tender, psychologically intricate and emotionally perceptive, these stories examine the complex lives of modern women. Substantial, moving and beautifully written they call upon Sue Hubbard’s wide ranging knowledge of and feel for art.
