If you loved The List of Suspicious Things, I can recommend The BBQ at No 9, Jennie Godfrey's latest release. Set on a Wimpey housing estate in 1987 during Live Aid, secrets simmer beneath the surface of a neighbourhood BBQ. For everyone who owned a Walkman or made a mixed tape.

If you enjoyed The Names by Florence Knapp, you'll love Nesting by Roisin O'Donnell. Challenging themes of domestic abuse and coercive control, set in contemporary Dublin. Intense, emotional, compulsive. Loved it!!!

I finished this last night & now I'm a firm Colm Toibin fan. In 1950s Ireland, Eilis has the opportunity to move to NY, with accommodation & a job arranged by the local priest. Eventually she settles in her new world, until the death of her sister pulls her home.

Controversial, but I recommend reading Emily Bronte's novel, watching Emereld Fennell's film, and deciding for yourself. 🙏 (I loved it 🩷).

Finished 'Frank & Red' by Matt Coyne on audio. Funny & tender relationship between 6yr old Red who moves next door to recently widowed, curmudgeonly pensioner Frank, who talks to his dead wife. Vibes of 'A Man Called Otto.'

Lots of controversy over the latest film of Wuthering Heights. We accept varying interpretations of Shakespeare's plays & his life, as with Hamnet, but we're precious about classic novels. I read WH age 11, 18 & recently. I prefer Charlotte's Jane Eyre tbh! 😁
