I haven't read that one but I have read several others of his and loved them all. It's come up as recommended for me on my Kindle, so it might well become my next holiday read.

@Selina27 I have Amazon Audible as I like to listen to audio books as well as read books, particularly kindle books because of text size flexibility 
Audible subs give you one book a month of a paying category but also have a catalogue of free to listen to/included books.
Good to listen to when knitting/crocheting.

I haven't read this, but have seen the film with Anthony Hopkins and Emma Thompson.
I'm not sure how to describe my feelings about it, I think Klara and the Sun aroused stronger feeling but I'm not sure what!
Can't wait for someone else to read it before I say too much

Reviving this thread post real book club meeting where we all loved
LESSONS IN CHEMISTRY by Bonnie Garmus
Not wanting to give any spoilers, but hats off to strong women and boo to jaw-dropping sexual discrimination of the 60s and 70s.
Out of stock on Amazon, possibly because it is so good, and brilliantly written.

Yes @Jacqui-S we had that at my Book Club too.... 100% agree with your assessment x
I am currently revisiting the work of an author who lives locally to me Barbara Erskine - Official Site
Barbara Erskine.
She wrote Lady of Hay 40 odd years ago, which is quite iconic in this area.
I have recently read The Dream Weavers, which I enjoyed, and last week I went to listen to hear her "in conversation" at Hay Castle talking about her new novel "The Story Spinner". A very apt title as she herself is a very good story spinner.

I have just discovered the Joana Trollope books, well written and page tuners.
Ooh yes, I do like a Joanna Trollope! Thanks for the reminder Sonia
I think she's pretty prolific so you've got a good number ahead of you.

Yesterday I finished our current Book Club choice, 'A Terrible Kindness ' by Jo Browning Wroe. I enjoyed it and found it quite difficult to put down. Interestingly it had a very good review by Bonnie Garmus, author of 'Lessons in Chemistry. ' Much as I enjoyed 'A Terrible Kindness ', if I had to choose between the two, I would go for 'Lessons in Chemistry '.
I'm also currently rather liking the Richard Osman Thursday Murder Club books, easy to read, but also quite clever and make me chuckle ( as I suppose would be expected from the host of 'House of Games'
)

)If you enjoy podcasts Candy, I'd recommend 'The Rest is Entertainment' which is co-hosted by Richard Osman, alongside Marina Hyde who's a journalist. It covers a huge gamut of topics, and Richard is characteristically funny and fascinating. He also gives scoops on the new Thursay Murder Club film they've just started making - produced by Stephen Spielberg, they've got Helen Mirren as Elizabeth and Ben Kingsley as Ibrahim. It's going to be fun!Yesterday I finished our current Book Club choice, 'A Terrible Kindness ' by Jo Browning Wroe. I enjoyed it and found it quite difficult to put down.
