Hi all. I am about to go away for a few days and my tbr pile is all a bit depressing (think women being oppressed- Silence of the Girls/The Mercies/Dancing Tree/The Rapture etc) I have just read the latest Jonathan Coe and fancy something a bit like that (or Joanna Cannon/Liane Moriarty etc). Any suggestions? Thanks

The slightly strange GNOD site (relatively unknown in my experience) can be useful in discovering new music, books and films... It depends on the data input by people who use the site.
https://www.gnod.com/

https://www.literature-map.com/

https://www.gnooks.com/

Do you recognise many of these authors names?

What July Knew by Emily Koch

I haven't read the latest Coe but if it's like the ones I have read - intelligent, a bit retro, subtle sense of humour - then I would suggest Kate Atkinson.

Not really quite the same but Gentleman & Players by Joanne Harris sort of reminds me of the Rotters Club.
