All Fours by Miranda July

A book, which is rowdy but thoughtful, told from the viewpoint of a woman at the midpoint of life

A compilation of the author’s work drawn from Canadian life with special emphasis on the sea, family and friendship

Florist Fiona’s world is about to change forever when she finally meets Big Bo

A book about life and its value and whether having money is a route to contentment

This book was a pleasant surprise, a study of characters and relationships with a literary bent

An original book with a surprising ending which failed to set this reader alight

A book about people and the injustices that are served and the battle to conquer them

A tale of friendship, reconciliation with the past, and adventure, with two unlikely women searching for a beetle on the other side of the world

A heart-warming story of friendship between a show dog called Ruby, her handler, Toby and a reclusive epileptic girl called Rachel

An inventive thriller, driven by action with a very dark idea at its centre and a narrative that switches between the hunters and the hunted
