I love to read. I get through two, sometimes three, novels a week. More on holiday. And I’m fortunate in having a brilliant library service here in Manchester where I can reserve titles I’m interested in. Here are some I’ve really enjoyed. Perhaps you’ll find something you like among them.

The Night Watchman by Louise Erdrich

Prophet Song by Paul Lynch

Devotion by Hannah Kent

The Abstainer Ian McGuire

The Colony by Audrey Magee
