ALT A seascape. A large tanker passes from right to left behind a group of small sailing boats. The water is choppy, and a dark turquoise. The hills on the opposite side are mistily shrouded by the clouds, through which fingers of light faintly shine down towards the tanker.
ALT A library book with a date label showing return dates from 2015 to 2026
ALT A landscape photograph. A stone cairn sits to the right foreground of a grassy landscape strewn with white bog cotton flowers. This leads to a valley, from which a mountain range rises in the far distance. The sky is blue, but there is a covering of puffy white clouds.
ALT A photograph of a book, The Names by Florence Knapp, next to a cat curled up on a lap. The book cover is green and pink, with the image of a boy who has three shadows in the centre. The cat is a bronze-brown colour, with darker markings, a white chin, and striking green eyes.

ALT A woman with curly hair and glasses smiles at the camera. She is wearing a yellow and white Breton striped top and a yellow cardigan, along with a green and yellow face mask. Her left hand is showing off an earring in her left ear, which is decorated with books on a shelf.
ALT A book is held up in front of bookshelves. The book is called ‘When The Cranes Fly South’ by Lisa Ridzén. The cover is a pale cream, with the outline of a sitting dog with a hand on its head drawn in orange on the right side. The title, in blue, is on the left of the cover.
ALT The back cover of a book, showing the blurb: Bo lives a quiet existence in his small rural village in the north of Sweden. He is elderly and his days are punctuated by visits from his care team and his son. Fortunately, he still has his memories, phone calls with his best friend Ture, and his beloved dog Sixten for company. Only now his son is insisting the dog must be taken away. The very same son that Bo is wanting to mend his relationship with before it’s too late. With everyone telling him they know what’s best, can Bo speak up and make himself heard?
