Recommend me a summery book ☀️

[SteaknSalad]

With June just around the corner, I would love to pick up some summery books to read.

I tend towards classics and historical fiction, but will happily read any genre - I just want a sunny, warm book which takes place during summer.

A wedding in the sun by Leonie Mack. I think it’s new, saw it on x and bought and loved it, very rom com

André Aciman’s Call Me By Your Name, Maggie O’Farrell’s Instructions for a Heateave, Edward St Aubyn’s Mother’s Milk.

not technically summer, but one of my favourite books that captures a place well and the feeling of a holiday - The Enchanted April by Elizabeth von Arnim

The Summer Book by Tove Jansson

Bonjour Tristesse by Francoise Sagan

The Baron in the Trees by Italo Calvino

The French Lieutenant’s Woman by John Fowles

Glimpses of the Moon by Edith Wharton

The Go-Between by LP Hartley

Yes, Mother's Milk is superb.

I'm going on holiday soon and have decided to take Anthony Burgess' Enderby novels, Evelyn Waugh's Sword of Honour and Oscar Wilde's De Profundis.

Thank you all for your recommendations, ‘The summer book’ by Tove Jannson sounds perfect! I only know her work from The Moomins which was a childhood favourite, so I’m sure I will love this.
