| A selection of summer reading - some recent and some classic The Enchanted April by Elizabeth von Arnim (ISBN 9781784870461) A quartet of indomitable women gather on the shores of the Mediterranean determined to transform their fortunes in Von Arnim’s light, enchanting character study. Evil Under the Sun by Agatha Christie (ISBN 9780007527571) A vacationing Poirot is dragged into investigating the murder of a sultry femme fatale on the English Riviera in one of Christie’s most accomplished and satisfying whodunits. The Summer Book by Tove Jansson (ISBN 9780954221713) A beautiful, understated examination of platonic love and profound friendship from the Scandinavian maestro, The Summer Book basks in the glow of a long Finnish summer. Swallows and Amazons by Arthur Ransome (ISBN 9780099572794) The novel that refocused the children’s adventure story endures as a testament to juvenile friendships, play and the excitement of the great outdoors. To the Lighthouse by Virginia Woolf (ISBN 9780241341681) Both a pioneering work of modernism and a lyrical depiction of a coastal family holiday, Woolf’s stunning novel finds poetry in the minutiae of everyday life and rich psychological insight in her character’s motivations. | |
