Welcome to my wrap-up of the books I read in June. I managed to get through nine despite it being the busiest period of the gardening year. I can read a book in the garden but I can’t stop myself putting it down when I spot something that needs doing!
Links from each title will take you to my full review or the book description on Goodreads. Check out the list of all the books I’ve read so far in 2024. If we’re not already friends on Goodreads, send me a friend request or follow my reviews.
My thanks to Canongate, Allison & Busby, Gallic Books, Transworld Books and Charlie Laidlaw for providing me with digital review copies.
The Heart in Winter by Kevin Barry (Canongate) – an enthralling, skilfully crafted combination of love story and adventure set in 19th century Montana
The Comfort of Ghosts by Jacqueline Winspear (Allison & Busby) – a beautifully balanced blend of heartbreak and hope for the future, and the perfect end to a wonderfully entertaining series
French Windows by Antoine Laurain. trans. by Louise Rogers Lalaurie (Gallic Books) – a wonderfully quirky and entertaining take on the classic film, Rear Window
Alvesdon by James Holland (Transworld Books) – an absorbing family saga set in WW2
The Days Of Our Birth by Charlie Laidlaw – a thoughtful, beautifully written story about the bond between two people
What were the best books you read last month? Have you read any of my picks?
What Cathy Read Next... 
Seriously, I think Laurain can do no wrong! I just ordered one of his back list books, and can hardly wait for it to arrive!
