I recently listened to and enjoyed 'A Sociopath's Guide to a Successful Marriage' by M K Oliver. Light and fun reading where he plot is almost inconsequential but the main character - a North London mother with ambitions - is a great and monstrous invention. It turns out that this author is an older first time novelist, like another book I enjoyed recently. This is a trend I approve!
I read and enjoyed less 'The Spinster Cook' by Eli Davies - part memoir, part social history, part thesis - about the relationship of women, mostly single, with food, cooking, meals. I'd have enjoyed more if it had focused on the social history. But there were some interesting angles.
Now reading 'Between Two Fires' by Christopher Buehlman. I kept seeing this in bookshops, picking it up, reading the blurb, and putting it back down again because it's a horror/fantasy story set in mediaeval France. Not generally my cup of tea, but a YouTuber I like (Sinead Hanna - very personable) did a very persuasive review of it. About half way through now, and it it's a real page turner and, in spite of the monsters, very evocative of what it must have been like to live at the time of the Black Death. And yes, I know an allegory when I see one...
