    Summary

    It has been a grueling year of failing crops, and famine, and the daily toil of rebuilding Tortall brick by brick, but Alanna never dreams of those things. They are problems she can still face, so they do not haunt her like he does. They do not appear late at night to torture her with what might have been: too-fleeting visions of Thom older, healthier, happier. In dreams, she sees him walking the halls of the palace at her side, and poring over a scroll in a room at Pirate's Swoop decorated exactly to his tastes, and once, most bitterly, sitting by a sunny window with a copper-haired baby cradled safely in his arms.

    -

    Suspended between visions of an impossible future and memories of a past she cannot leave behind, Alanna learns to keep moving, and moves the world with her.

    Summary

    After drinks and cheese and more drinks, Matthew offered to talk Fiona to the cab rank.

    “Play nice,” Matthew said when they were safely in the stairwell.

    “I am,” said Fiona. “I have been nothing but gracious while your future sister-in-law trails mud all over your flat.”

    Summary

    Following On definition: In the game of cricket, a team who batted second and scored significantly fewer runs than the team who batted first may be forced to follow-on: to take their second innings immediately after their first.

    When Phryne throws down the gauntlet at the airfield, Jack takes up the challenge eagerly. This is the story of Phryne's record-breaking flight to England, the chaos it causes, and the honeymoon period that they spend together once he finally arrives In which Phryne is launched at high speed into 1930s celebrity, spends far too much time with her parents, sends and receives a great deal of personal correspondence, and comes to several realisations.
