This month I've read three books -
The Innocents by Francesca Segal - childhood sweethearts Adam and Rachel are getting married. Rachel's wild cousin Ellie returns and Adam wonders if he is missing out. I found the Jewish way of life interesting to read about. It was a bit slow in places but an enjoyable read.
The Midwife's Confession by Diane Chamberlain - this centres around Tara and Emerson's friendship with Noelle, a midwife. Noelle commits suicide and the friends find out they didn't really know Noelle after all. A really great read with twists and turns I didn't see coming. I've enjoyed every Diane Chamberlain book I've read.
The Villa by Rosanna Ley - Tess receives a Solicitor's letter informing her she's been left a villa in Sicily. Her link to Italy is her mother Flavia who left Italy many years before, cutting all contact with her family. The story jumps between Tess in Italy, her mother telling her story of why she left Italy and Ginny, Tess's teenage daughter. A really easy read which I really enjoyed. Be a great beach read.
What have you been reading this month?
Great feature! This month I've read a lot of Hilary Mantel as I downloaded as many of her books as I could find to my Kindle! xo
ReplyDeleteI'll check them out I've not read any of her books x
DeleteWow, can't believe you've read three books this month! A true book worm! All three of these books sound great, and just like my cup of tea. I'll be noting them down for some summer reading! xo

DeleteI loved The Midwife's Confession. I'm reading Call the Midwife, I've recently finished The Age of Miracles. I used to read a book per week but now it's more like a book per quarter! xx
ReplyDeleteGreat read! With the little one you'll find it harder to find time to chill out with a book x
DeleteThe Midwife's Confession and The Villa look interesting. I am re-reading The Bridges of Madison County at the moment (and I still have a couple of book posts to blog about, I am slacking!) x
ReplyDeleteI simply adore The Bridges of Madison County - it always makes me cry! x
