A book that discusses the joy of the handwritten letter; an art of correspondence and connection that should endure into the future

A wonderful sequel to a timeless classic, The Secret Garden by Frances Hodgson Burnett. Did you ever wonder what happened to Mary Lennox?

A memoir, modestly told, of a life varied and, at times, listless and without purpose but with one constant – the writer’s mother

Another enjoyable murder mystery from the Gilded Age with Val and Roddy DeVere who investigate a suspicious death in a box at the opera

This short novel with a fairytale construct is an introduction to the lovely prose of Rosie Bellis, which shows great promise

A coming-of-age tale which is an intense read, following fifteen year old Rick as he navigates a teendom strewn with diversions and upsets

A gentle, charming book about a boy, his dog, his mum and a painting, set in Paris.

An interesting novel philosophically speaking which is thought-provoking but, at times, challenging to read

Nemesis is the perfect holiday read for the thriller lover – action-filled, fast-paced and written with clear direction and awareness.
