The holiday book brief was: something that can fill the void left by The Paper Palace. These ones delivered: This Is Gonna End In Tears: three former friends meet again in the hot summer of 1984 and things get complicated as they revisit their past relationships. A easy, breezy but brainy page-turner - v grateful to @sambaker for recommending. The Marriage Portrait: ok this is a tease because it’s not out until 30 August but here to tell you the new Maggie O’Farrell lives up to the hype. Loved the way she makes a historical thriller (Renaissance duchess married off aged 15 to a man she thinks is out to kill her) such a got-to-get-to-the-end-story. Pre-order and you’re in for a treat. And finally something I slid in from my daughter’s pile; Skandar and the Unicorn Thief is the first book I’ve seen her properly engrossed in since Harry Potter. A dark unicorn mystery that I’m also enjoying as much as she is. For anyone who’s made it this far, what should I read now?
