The Quiet Catalogue
After a small independent publisher in Newcastle shuts its doors, Mara Ellison is left with a half-finished manuscript, a stack of unsold paperbacks and the awkward task of deciding what, if anything, still deserves saving. As she tries to rebuild her working life, she becomes entangled with a local printer, a former bookseller and the practical mess of turning a book into something that can actually exist in the world.
