This week’s topic is Favourite Books of 2020. It’s the topic I always dread, not because I haven’t read many brilliant books this year, but because I find it so difficult to choose only ten. However, with apologies to those I had to omit but still loved, here is my selection…or at least my selection as at this minute. By tomorrow, I may have changed my mind completely! (Links from the titles will take you to my reviews.)

The Lost Lights of St Kilda by Elisabeth Gifford (Corvus)
Miss Graham’s Cold War Cookbook by Celia Rees (Harper Collins)
The Offing by Benjamin Myers (Bloomsbury)
Munich by Robert Harris (Hutchinson)
A Registry of My Passage Upon the Earth by Daniel Mason (Mantle)

The Far Field by Madhuri Vijay (Grove Atlantic)
When We Fall by Carolyn Kirby (No Exit)
The Stasi Game by David Young (Zaffre)
V For Victory by Lissa Evans (Doubleday)
