Anna's choice

The Ministry of Time

My book of the month is Ministry of Time by Kaliane Bradley. It is charming, funny, intelligent and a compelling read. Combining sci-fi , romance and history into an action packed story... I absolutely loved it!

Michael's choice

No Direction Home

Ahead of Bob's return to these shores, Opportunity to immerse yourself in this timely re-issued biography.   Particularly good on the early Greenwich Village years.

Dora's choice

Moscow X

The thriller of the year.  Ex CIA author lends a whiff of authenticity to this undercover tale of  Oligarchs/Corruption. What's not to like.

Cally's choice

House of Doors

Merging fact and Fiction, House of Doors tells the story of Somerset Maugham's visit to Malaysia to stay with an old friend. A wonderfully immersive and atmospheric read.

Tania's choice

Fallow Hall

Anna and Cally have already chosen two of the best books that I've read recently, and although I could have picked Tell Me More by Elizabeth Strout, it's already been very well publicised.  So instead I have selected this very accomplished first novel.  A murder story, gentle romance - but more than that.

Lennie's choice

Friend Sigrid Nunez

Award winning book, now a film with Naomi Watts. A women's friend dies unexpectedly and she inherits his dog.  I'm hoping that my owners will read this to me.
