Novels

The common denominator here is the narrative, the story, the ‘and then?’ syndrome that has long enchanted us. Romantic, adventure, science fiction, dystopian, crime, whodunit, fantasy, thriller: all these are adjectives that can describe a novel. And, above all, they’re full of people just like us: the heroes and heroines, the villains, the damsels in distress and knights in shining armour, and often just ordinary folk struggling against impossible odds.

The Hour of Need by Sean Badal

When a twenty-nine year-old Indian immigrant arrives from Zanzibar to a cold and bleak post-war London in 1946, he hadn’t expected on finding a mummified corpse in the East End building in which he’d intended to set up shop. Unable to unravel the mystery of the corpse and fearful for his future, he hatches fantastical plans to get rid of it, with unexpected consequences.

He hadn’t planned on romancing the dead man’s nice niece either…
