June Reading

A couple of stand-out novels this months, including Sarah Waters’ THE LITTLE STRANGER. One of my favourite writers, Waters writes historical novels with a real feel for time and place. This ghost story is very well constructed, scary in all the right parts, sad and moving at times, and leaving the reader with questions about the characters to ponder. A really wonderful book. The other book I really enjoyed was William Trevor’s LOVE AND SUMMER, one of our great novelists writing about a rural Irish village and the unsettling effects of the arrival of a young photographer. I read a bunch of other novels over the last few weeks but I’ll stick with a photo this month.
