Dans un futur lointain, une forme avancée de télépathie, appelée Songlight, a vu le jour. Et à Northheaven, ceux bénéficiant de ce don sont considérés comme des déviants qu’il faut chasser, emprisonner, reformater... Pourtant la rumeur court qu’en dehors des frontières du pays, ce sixième sens est accepté et ceux qui en sont dotés, les Torches, célébrés. Mais à Northheaven, les rumeurs sont ignorées. À Northheaven on suit les règles. Là-bas, les garçons s’enrôlent tôt dans l’armée et les filles... les filles apprennent à tenir une maison et, très jeune, elles épousent des hommes revenus de la guerre, de vingt-ans leurs aînés.

Elsa is used to hiding the most important parts of herself—her feelings for Rye, her distaste for a world ruled by men, and, most crucially, her gift of songlight. She buries that secret deep inside. In Brightland, those with songlight are called Unhumans and are abhorred. Rye is the only other person Elsa has known with songlight, and their shared bond has brought them together.

A deliciously black satirical comedy about the dinner party from hell. The fastidious host, Paige, decides to throw a dinner party in honour of her husband, Lars, who is celebrating the success of his pop psychology book, Beyond Belief. She carefully plans a surprise menu that will mark the occasion and anxiously checks with the waiter she has employed to make sure that everything is perfectly prepared. Her lucky guests include a postfeminist vegetarian artist, a distinguished microbiologist, a TV journalist and an uninvited guest who ends up staying for dinner.
