  • The Artist

    By Lucy Steeds
    5 stars

    This most lyrical of books charts a summer in the lives of three characters. French painter, Édouard Tartuffe (a fictional contemporary of Cézanne), Ettie his niece and Joseph a writer wanting to research the reclusive Tartuffe for an art magazine. It may be predictable in some ways but the lyricism of the writing more than makes up for it. Possibly the highlight of my summer reading.

  • The fifth elephant

    By Terry Pratchet
    3 stars

    Not my favourite Pratchett but read by Jon Culshaw it was a very pleasant listen.

  • The colour of magic

    By Terry Pratchett
    5 stars

    I have always loved Terry Pratchett and this summer have decided to listen to some of them for the first time. This one, read by Bill Nighy and Peter Serafinowicz is beautifully produced.

  • When the cranes fly south

    By Lisa Ridzén
    5 stars

    The most beautiful, heartbreakingly evocative novel.

  • The Unquiet grave

    By Dervla McTiernan
    5 stars

    The second new crime writer I have discovered this summer and although this is the 4th in a series it reads well as a standalone. This time the focus is Galway, and a corpse discovered in a peat bog that could be millenia old, or a lot more recent…

  • The crossing places

    By Elly Griffiths

    Archeology and police detective novel combined. Set in winter on the north Norfolk coast this is a great introduction to Elly Griffiths’ Ruth Galloway novels.
