August 23rd<\/strong>: \u201cPrelude\u201d by Katherine Mansfield:<\/strong> In \u201cPrelude\u201d, Katherine Mansfield captures a family’s quiet move to the countryside, uncovering the hidden emotions and unspoken struggles of its women. A subtle, beautifully layered portrait of domestic life. Through shifting perspectives and delicate details, Mansfield explores themes of identity, freedom, and the weight of everyday roles. It’s a story where small moments reveal deep truths.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

September 20th: \u201cNight in Tunisia\u201d by Neil Jordan:<\/strong> In Neil Jordan\u2019s \u201cNight in Tunisia\u201d, the narrator looks back on his teenage years and the complicated relationships he has with his father, sister, and a girl he notices in a yellow cardigan. His father, a jazz saxophonist, wants him to learn the alto saxophone, but the narrator\u2019s attention is drawn elsewhere\u2014towards the changes in his sister and the mysterious girl at the tennis courts. Set in a coastal Irish town, the story explores the narrator\u2019s feelings of confusion and the subtle tensions within his family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

October<\/strong> 18th: \u201cThe Ex-Wife\u201d by Ali Smith<\/strong>: In Ali Smith\u2019s \u201cThe Ex-Wife,\u201d the narrator describes a relationship strained by a third, almost spectral presence that takes up more and more space between the couple. At first, this presence feels like an intellectual fascination shared by the partner, but over time it becomes intrusive, unsettling, and even rivalrous, as if the narrator were competing with someone not quite there. The story explores how desire, obsession, and absence can destabilize intimacy, and how the narrator must eventually confront the loneliness and displacement that follow when love is shadowed by another devotion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
