Niall, a zoologist, goes to Northern Ireland under the pretext of studying magpies. What he's studying, in fact, is the science of free will, the genetics of fate and destiny. But as he roams the seashore, he becomes increasingly troubled by familiar faces and half-remembered events.

The Naked Name of Love

In 1865, as Darwinâ€™s new theory of evolution begins to sweep aside old certainties, a young Jesuit priest and plant-hunter sets out into an unknown world. He is driven by twin passions: for science and for his faith. Travelling across the Eastern Steppes of Mongolia in the company of a Buddhist monk and a local horseman, Josephâ€™s journey is fraught with danger, both physical and spiritual. But it is Namuunaa, the gifted shaman woman who saves his life, who offers a greater challenge: she will teach him what it is to love.Â A story of East meeting West and of a love that transcends culture, faith and, ultimately, tragedy, this is both a novel on an epic scale and an astonishingly intimate story.

Sugar Island

1859. Unrest is brewing in the South as Emily, an actress from England, arrives in Georgia to begin life with her new husband Charles. On arriving, Emily realises that Charles has been keeping a terrible secret from her - he is a slave-owner. On the surface, Emily appears to reconcile herself to his way of life, whereas in reality she finds herself irrevocably caught up in the lives of the slaves - befriending them, and helping them in secret. But as civil war threatens, Emily's world becomes increasingly divided - and dangerous - and she realises her secret could cost her everything. Set against the brilliantly realised backdrop of the months leading up to the American Civil War, Sugar Island is a story of freedom and of loyalty in a time of chaos.

A study of how we understand others, ourselves and society. It looks at research indicating that, for example, people with autism - a mainly male disorder - cannot detect emotions from pictures of eyes; and that children remember when their wishes have been fulfilled better than when they have not.
