Contemporary Fiction Poster Set: The Wedding People, A Man Called Ove & Jonathan Livingston Seagull

Three novels about the messy, marvellous business of being human, gathered into one thoughtful poster set. Whether you're building a reading nook or simply want art that says something about who you are, this trio brings warmth, wit and a little wisdom to any wall.

Why these three belong together

Each of these stories asks the same quiet question: what does it take to truly begin again? A bride on the edge of chaos, a widower who thinks he's finished with the world, and a seagull who refuses to fly like everyone else. Different voices, different eras, but all three champion the idea that connection, courage and self-belief can change a life. Hung together, they make a gentle manifesto for anyone who loves a story about second chances.

The Wedding People (2023)

Alison Espach's novel follows a woman who checks into a grand seaside hotel with no intention of attending the wedding taking place there, only to become entangled in it anyway. As secrets surface and unlikely alliances form, the book becomes a sharp, moving exploration of grief, love and unexpected friendship.

A Man Called Ove (2012)

Fredrik Backman's beloved bestseller introduces Ove, a curmudgeonly retiree devoted to routine and rules, who finds his carefully guarded solitude disrupted by a chaotic new family next door. What follows is a tender, funny portrait of loss, community and the surprising warmth beneath a gruff exterior.

Jonathan Livingston Seagull (1970)

Richard Bach's slim, enduring fable follows a seagull who dares to dream beyond ordinary flight, chasing speed, height and meaning while his flock urges him to conform. It has become a touchstone tale of ambition, freedom and the pursuit of one's true calling.

Styling your contemporary fiction wall

This set works beautifully in a reading corner, hallway or above a sofa, hung in a neat row or a relaxed cluster. For a soft, literary feel, try the Watercolour style in white or oak frames; for something crisper and more graphic, the Minimalist or Modern Minimalist styles look wonderful in black. The set is also available in Blurby, Modern and Square styles, so you can mix and match to suit your space, or leave prints unframed for a more casual look. Remember, any three prints qualify for our buy 3, save 20% offer, so it's the perfect moment to make this set your own.
