When recommending books please mention the book title and author. If you've already read it, no spoilers please, though a sentence or two about your choice would be helpful.

Anna Corbett | 1 comments Hi there!

I've got a couple of suggestions :)

The Essex Serpent by Sarah Perry (not read but sounds very interesting)

The Vegetarian by Han Kang (read - short but excellent. Masterpiece in using few words to make a big impact)

Hi Anna,

I read the Vegetarian--it's pretty good! Quite different narrative style to most books I've read. That would be a good one to read at some point during the next year.

I'm also interested in the Essex Serpent--it's 'headlining' the Women's Writing Festival this month in Yorkshire (at the Brontë Parsonage.) I'm considering going. How about we read this for October?

Rufaro | 7 comments Has anyone read 'The Secret History' by Donna Tartt? I heard it's pretty great and I really enjoyed her other book 'The Goldfinch' that I read recently.
