County Donegal, 1974: Róisín and her older sister, Máire, live in Burtonport. Máire is an enigmatic, talented artist, and her relationship with their neighbor Michael is complicated. When the Screamers, an artist group, come to town, Róisín helps Máire secure a position, setting off events that will separate the sisters forever. Burtonport, 2018: Lyca Brady, Cora's daughter, lives in an old house with her mother and great aunt. Amid Ireland's new abortion laws, Lyca struggles with her identity and her mother's activism. A message from a childhood friend sends her into the attic, where she uncovers long-hidden family secrets tied to the past. The novel weaves together these narratives, exploring family bonds, secrets, and the emotional legacies that shape their lives.

- Light bringer / by Brown, Pierce,1988-author.;
"The Reaper is a legend, more myth than man: the savior of worlds, the leader of the Rising, the breaker of chains. But the Reaper is also Darrow, born of the red soil of Mars: a husband, a father, a friend. Marooned far from home after a devastating defeat on the battlefields of Mercury, Darrow longs to return to his wife and sovereign, Virginia, to defend Mars from its bloodthirsty would-be conqueror Lysander. Lysander longs to destroy the Rising and restore the supremacy of Gold, and will raze the worlds to realize his ambitions. The worlds once needed the Reaper. But now they need Darrow, and Darrow needs the people he loves--Virginia, Cassius, Sevro--in order to defend the Republic. So begins Darrow's long voyage home, an interplanetary adventure where old friends will reunite, new alliances will be forged, and rivals will clash on the battlefield. Because Eo's dream is still alive--and after the dark age will come a new age: of light, of victory, of hope."--

- Shōgun. by Clavell, James,author.;
After Englishman John Blackthorne is lost at sea, he awakens in a place few Europeans know of and even fewer have seen--Nippon. Thrust into the closed society that is seventeenth-century Japan, a land where the line between life and death is razor-thin, Blackthorne must negotiate not only a foreign people, with unknown customs and language, but also his own definitions of morality, truth, and freedom. As internal political strife and a clash of cultures lead to seemingly inevitable conflict, Blackthorne's loyalty and strength of character are tested by both passion and loss, and he is torn between two worlds that will each be forever changed.

"In this second book in the Narnia-inspired Indigenous middle-grade fantasy series, Eli and Morgan travel back to Misewa, only to realize they've travelled back farther than expected. At school, Eli is being bullied, and while he tries to hide what's happening to him from Morgan, she knows something is wrong. Morgan herself is also in turmoil when she is given the phone number of her birth mother, and she struggles to know what to do with it. They turn to the place where they know they can learn the most, and make the journey back to the village to visit their anthropomorphic teachers. But things are different than they remember. It's summer, which is to be expected after what they accomplished on their last visit, but it's more than that. Then, they see Fisher as a boy, and realize that they've visited the past. What's more, the village is once again in peril."--From publisher.LSC
