August is the time to free yourself from routine, choose an easy breezy novel to enjoy or throw caution to the wind and take in new vistas. Treat yourself to The Reading Den's 3 Bright Ideas. All in paperback and all 3 quite different reads. So something for everyone! Our Book of the Moment, recommended by a Den reader, is 'The Husbands' by Holly Gramazio - a funny and original debut novel about life, love, and navigating a world of never-ending choices. Already snapped up by Apple TV+. Our Missed Opportunity is ‘Free Love’ by the acclaimed author, Tessa Hadley, about a middle-aged woman who is resetting her life, swapping stability for an imagined freedom. Our Wild Card is 'Uncle Paul' by the popular English author Celia Fremlin, 'the grandmother of psycho-domestic noir'. This late 1950s novel was re-published by Faber in 2023 and is a pacy midsummer suspense drama about 'a nightmare summer holiday'.
