I was so impressed by Herman Wouk's War & Remembrance that I am now reading The Hope, which is about the founding of the state of Israel.

Re: What Are You Reading? Sept 2022
I’m reading Saving Geraldine Corcoran by Hazel Ward, the third in the very enjoyable Netta Wilde series. Dual timeline family drama.
I’m also reading via Pigeonhole The Other Side of Night by Adam Hamby, an unusual mystery described as Matt Haig meets Stuart Turton.

Re: What Are You Reading? Sept 2022
I'm reading "One of the Girls", about a hen party which takes place on a Greek island, inevitably one of them ends up dead, but you don't know which one or why, and they all off course have Secrets! Enjoyable and quite well written for this sort of genre.

Re: What Are You Reading? Sept 2022
I’m now reading The Impulse Purchase by Veronica Henry, a contemporary generational story about buying a pub and the characters who inhabit/visit it.
I’m also reading via Pigeonhole David Copperfield by Charles Dickens in the run up to Barbara Kingsolver’s new book, Demon Copperhead, being published in October which is also going to be serialised on Pigeonhole. I loved The Poisonwood Bible by Barbara Kingsolver so looking forward to her new one. David Copperfield was my mother’s favourite book.

Just started The Man from St. Petersburg by Ken Follett. I think after this I will have read all of his books!

Re: What Are You Reading? Sept 2022
I’ve just started All About Evie by Matson Taylor, the sequel to the wonderful Miseducation of Evie Epworth. We’ve travelled on 10 years to 1972 where Eve is 26 and working as a junior production assistant for the BBC.

Re: What Are You Reading? Sept 2022
In early September, I started reading Don Quixote by Miguel de Cervantes (for the third time, by the way).
It's a shame, but still not finished.
