Free-spirited widow Florence Green risks everything to open a bookshop in a conservative East Anglian coastal town. While bringing about a surprising cultural awak- ening through works by Ray Bradbury and Vladimir Nabokov, she earns the polite but ruthless opposition of a local grand dame and the support and affection of a reclusive book lov- ing widower. Gaia Cauchi and Kevin Paul Calleja have featured on a track by DJ She- dona. The song, Lately was written by Cyprian Cas- sar and Shaun Farrugia and speaks about the fi nal moments in a relationship and how hard it is to get an ex-lover out of your mind. Summerpack – Childish Gambino In his typical style, Childish Gambino freaked out fans by releasing 'Summerpack', which features two new songs – Summertime Magic and Feels Like Summer. The two songs sound and feel like summer tracks with a mellow R&B feel. Listen to the songs, they might be your new summer anthems Scorpion – Drake Drake is back with his latest album, Scor- pion. According to industry forecasters, the album could easily secure a second straight week at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 albums chart next week. Many of his songs are in the top 10, dominating charts around the world. IBEN ID-DELL Vol 1 and 2 Helen Borg Published by Horizons Just before the Second World War broke out, Maria, a young girl, fell in love with a man. Nothing extraordi- nary about that, but the circumstances surounding this love story were indeed out of the ordinary. When the girl found out that she was pregnant, her life, as well as that of those around her, were sent into turmoil, with repercussions that resounded for over fi fty years. In the end, all the various strands, based on a true story, offer an answer to one burning question constantly sought since the beginning of the book: who, in reality, was the 'son of darkness'? Extinctions Josephine Wilson Josephine Wilson's second novel is a beautifully written study of love, loss and making amends. Fred Lothian is a retired academic nearing the end of his life, tormented by his memories and regret for all the things he did wrong. When a series of incidents forces him and his neighbour, Jan, together, he realises it might be his last chance to build something meaningful and atone for a lifetime of selfi sh decisions. In our narcissistic, social media-hungry age, this is a timely reminder to set aside our obsessions and reach out to those around us. What We Owe Golnaz Hashemzadeh Bonde What We Owe follows 18-year-old Nahid, forced to fl ee revolutionary Iran with her lover Masood when their efforts to overthrow the regime put their lives – and the life of their unborn child – in danger. Decades later, Nahid, exiled in Sweden and raging against the cancer that doctors say will kill her in a matter of months, replays her life: the country she left behind but which refuses to let her go; the daughter she struggled to protect; the mother she betrayed. What, asks Hashemzadeh Bonde, do we owe the ones we love? What to watch, listen to and read this week Movies and TV shows Music Books IBEN ID- DELL Vol 1 and 2 – Helen Borg
