Read: The Book of Night Women by Marlon James ★★★★★ this is a hard book to put down but hard to read the iniquity and violence.
The Fortnight in September by R.C. Sherriff ★★★★★ a lovely unexpected delight. A 2 week family holiday in 1930s Bogner described in gentle detail. Tender and a little sad.
