Thanks to Mumsnet I found those 2 amazing reads. The kind of books ill
never give away!

Also read A Terrible Kindness- fab.
One Of The Girls- also a good read.

The Andrew Shanahan series of 2 books was an absolute fave too!

I also love all of David Sedaris’ books too! Going to see him in July….

would love to hear more recommendations!

Stacy Dooley did an excellent documentary following people trying to get into America, and the struggles they face. She showed how she can easy walk through border control, and yet others are risking their life. Worth watching.

Thank you all! Am getting The Names and The Trees as it stands. Will look up those other ones. Not been that keen on Kate Atkinson- but to be fair that was only based on BTSATM.
love getting all your recommendations!!
