Story
Emily should be happy. She has a nice husband (even if they rarely speak to each other, let alone sleep in the same bed), two little boys she loves (even if a full night’s sleep is a distant memory)—and now, a brand-new house in which they can live out all of the bourgeois fantasies she knows she should be ashamed of. But still she aches for something more. Enter Alathea and Elliott, their new neighbours, and also parents of two young boys. Alathea is intimidatingly confident and beautiful, but also disarmingly open and friendly.

Chrissie loves London, her job as an events manager and her daughters Scarlet (loud, vegan, activist) and Ruby (quiet, musician, boffin). She even loves her husband, Rob, despite him deciding to cycle across Africa. For a year. But Chrissie is stressed and overworked, so when her mum calls her home to Devon to help with the struggling family vineyard, she is almost relieved. Chrissie gives herself a year: if she can make it until then, maybe they can celebrate as a family with their own fizz? But adjusting to West Country life takes more than she bargained for....

Story
A Scottish new town in the 1970s is the playground for teenage sweethearts Lorna and Robert and their unforgettable band of friends – and foes. Among the concrete warrens, they discover loyalty and betrayal, booze and bullies, triumph and tragedy. And, like all youngsters growing up anytime, anywhere, they spend an awful lot of time inventing sex. But for Lorna and Robert, their lives are changed – perhaps forever – when they are torn apart by a deathbed promise and bitter sectarian divide. Fast forward 25 years to Blair’s Britain at the start of the new millennium.

Not many Brits move to Poland to work in a fish and chip shop. Fewer still come back wanting to be a Member of the European Parliament. In 2016, Ben Aitken moved to Poland while he still could. It wasn’t love that took him but curiosity: he wanted to know what the Poles in the UK had left behind. He flew to a place he’d never heard of and then accepted a job in a chip shop on the minimum wage. When he wasn’t peeling potatoes he was on the road scratching the country’s surface.

A shaggy-dog yarn of rural French drudgery
The plot can feel as buggy as the dodgy sat-navs responsible for the titular "glitch" that unexpectedly delivers this obscure French village its first tourists in years. And the petty, frustrated characters are almost wholly unadmirable. But there's an anarchic humour and grounded surrealism that keeps the momentum throughout, with a priggish determination akin to a British dad on holiday: forever refusing to admit he is lost, and always has been. The incessant bickering can grate; but beneath the resolute daftness of the surface events, and the foul-mouthed exchanges between friends and enemies alike, there's a warm and tender philosophy exploring the tragicomic helplessness of the human condition. All in all, a bumpy ride with unexpected detours that you're sure to look back on fondly - if you're brave enough to keep going.
