'Heartbreaking, funny and bittersweet. A phenomenal debut' DOLLY
ALDERTON 'Let this bittersweet ode to siblings fill the
Fleabag-shaped hole in your life' ELLE 'Fierce and unsparing,
everything you'd expect from the brilliant Jessie Cave' EVANNA
LYNCH 'Jessie Cave's reflective debut will make you laugh before
breaking your heart' COSMOPOLITAN ___________ One summer can change
everything . . . Ruth and Hannah are sisters. Bonded by love and
friendship, they are perplexingly different characters. Hannah is
radiant, organised and hard working. Ruth is forever single and
totally aimless. Together they are invincible. Every summer they go
on a budget holiday together where they bicker, laugh, fight and
make up. But this time is different. Something bad happens. And now
everything is changed forever. This bittersweet love story is about
needing someone else as much as they need you. It is an ode to our
most powerful bonds, how they build us and break us, and how, when
all seems lost, we can find joy in the most unexpected places.
___________ 'Heart-achingly beautiful . . . A stunning debut about
the raw and destructive power of grief' INDEPENDENT 'The most
beautiful, furious, real book about siblinghood and grief . . .
Astounding' PANDORA SYKES 'Exquisite and raw' SARA PASCOE 'It made
me want to hug my sister' MEGAN BAYNES, PRESS ASSOCIATION 'Funny,
heartbreaking, and with that delicious edge Jessie brings to her
heart' CARIAD LLOYD 'Full of beautiful and well-observed details .
. . Its true skill is in how brave and raw and honest it is' JOSIE

`Okay I'm sorry but I don't want to have a meal. I want to talk and
find out a bit more about you and ideally have sex. Or maybe not
full sex but - I need to be home by 11 p.m.' Dating again after a
complex break-up, Jessie is trying to get her personal life in
order - before her kids wake up. From actress, comedian, writer and
doodler Jessie Cave, Sunrise is an honest, tender-hearted and
uproariously funny story about crying in the woods, sexual
misadventures at Harry Potter conventions and Instagram espionage -
but also about motherhood and trying to get stuff done. This
published edition also includes dozens of never-before-seen doodles
by Jessie. She's very happy to (over)share it with you. Sunrise was
performed as a critically acclaimed live show at the Edinburgh
Festival Fringe, at Soho Theatre, London, and on tour around the
UK.

Matthew Warchus directs this British drama inspired by real events
during the 1984 miners' strike. When activist Mark Ashton (Ben
Schnetzer) garners support at a Gay Pride rally in London for his
plan to raise funds in support of the striking miners, he
encounters a surprising impediment to his plan: most mining
communities refuse to take money from gay and lesbian groups.
However, one Welsh village, Dulais, seem grateful for the support.
Mark and his friends hire a minibus and visit the villagers to
consolidate the relationship. Though the villagers don't completely
accept their visitors straight away, the community, which includes
Hefina (Imelda Staunton), Dai (Paddy Considine) and Cliff (Bill
Nighy), gradually warm to Mark and his friends as they realise the
common causes that bind them.
