Entitlement by Rumaan Alam

Greed, privilege, and purpose intertwine in a haunting dance, luring us into the seductive embrace of philanthropy. The delicate boundary between genuine need and insatiable desire becomes increasingly obscured.

 

A Great Marriage by Frances Mayes

A warm read focusing on family and marriage. From the author of Under the Tuscan Sun, yeah, remember the movie? It was nice. This is a nice read.

 

My Favourite Sarah Jollien-Fardel

For those in the mood for serious reads about uncomfortable feelings. Described as a powerful read, focusing on guilt, trauma, shame, and the paralysing effects.

 

Proof of my innocence by Jonathan Coe

It's Coe, you can’t go wrong. If you like smart, satire, funny Britishness, and the dark state of politics this is a treat.
