  • The Names

    By Florence Knapp
    5 stars

    My favourite this summer - read in 2 days. "Summer's my favourite day in Ireland". The subject matter is harrowing, graphic and disturbing.

  • Unruly - A History of England's kings and Queens

    By David Mitchell
    5 stars

    The best quote is that the death rate had not changed; it was still "one death per person". Too many names that are the same, and I need to take notes and possibly read again.

    Amazing how someone can reach such an achievement despite racism and poverty.

  • The Songbirds of Florence

    By Olivia Spooner
    3 stars

    175 pages were set in Cairo, yet we did not learn anything about the food, the culture, or the people - they were portrayed with "grim stares and narrow eyes of the Egyptians", in contrast to the second half of the book, with the Italians, the food, the hardship of the people and how they suffered was described in detail. Disappointing.

  • The Sweetness of Water

    By Nathan Harris
    5 stars

    Excellent debut novel.
