  • Buckeye

    By Patrick Ryan
    5 stars

    My favourite read of the summer holidays. With a backdrop of departure for war, this spans the implications of people's passions, babies born, and everyone lying to their kids in small town Amercia. Focusing on two families, it addresses love, loss, and redemption. The trauma of war on veterans and their families flows through generations.

  • A Memoir of My Former Self

    By Hilary Mantel
    3 stars

    Hilary Mantel wrote this memoir. It is comprehensive as was her life and her writing. A book to dip in and out of. Best read chapter by chapter.

  • The Secret Life of The Savoy and the D'Oyly Carte Family

    By Olivia Williams
    5 stars

    Three generations across the backdrop of two wars. The guests and scandals of politicians, royalty, and celebrities. This biography of the family that founded the Savoy is an entertaining lesson in history.
