Olive, Again

Petra GreenPetra Green

I read #OliveKitteridge years ago, picked it up by chance in the local library. Almost didn't want to start #OliveAgain, looking forward to it so much. And it is every bit as good. @LizStrout is a genius. Just wonderful. #topfiction https://t.co/Kq9YL9hdx9

@Mathew__Clayton Hi Matthew. If not already mentioned what about Alexandre Dumas? The Three Musketeers, Count of Monte Cristo, Man in the Iron Mask? They are fantastic adventure stories and pretty big books.

The best novel I've read this year, #Spring by Ali Smith. (#Autumn was wonderful, #Winter less so. #Summer is my favourite season so I'm hoping the final quarter doesn't disappoint.) She's a genius. #topfiction https://t.co/tPhmO4hvNG

Book Cover for: Inferno, J. K

Inferno

J. K
Petra GreenPetra Green

Read #Inferno by @Catkcho in one day, as #StormCiara raged outside. It's honest and compelling, the story of post-partum #psychosis (and this is the scariest part) in America. Doesn't sound like the best read but her Korean family and tales make it special. https://t.co/iEvMtIHMIY

Book Cover for: Us: Everything is Done By US. We Can Make it For US, Tom Cantlon

Us: Everything is Done By US. We Can Make it For US

Tom Cantlon
Petra GreenPetra Green

This novel's gorgeous cover belies its dark contents. Ocean Vuong is a poet, his characters growing up #Vietnamese in the #US as the #opiodcrisis hits. Like many coming-of-age #novels, only marked by violence and scars from the #Vietnamwar. Not an easy read. https://t.co/kX2cx82N5g

Sorry for Your Trouble

Richard Ford
Petra GreenPetra Green

Out in May, #SorryforyourTrouble by Richard Ford from @BloomsburyBooks is a short-story collection. There's an Irish character in each, along with themes of loss, time passing, resolution. A sad, mature mixture looking back over lives lived and chances lost. https://t.co/s8FyGM6f6i

Book Cover for: Adèle, Leila Slimani

Adèle

Leila Slimani
Petra GreenPetra Green

Published in English as #Adele, Leila Slimani's #novel covers similar ground to books by Eimear McBride and Zadie Smith. Woman escapes her boring bourgeois life in extramarital encounters, but it doesn't end in tears (or death). A powerful and strange tale. https://t.co/1EgptIlPKM
