BOOK OF THE MONTH
CONFRONTING THE PAST
My Favourite Mistake by Marian Keyes (£22, HB, Penguin)
We love Marian Keyes for her humour, relatable style and wisdom – all of which are present here. When Anna leaves her fabulous beauty PR job in New York to return to Ireland, people are confused. Now working for a high-end coastal resort, she meets someone from her past, someone she once called a friend. Is it time to face up to past mistakes? A big-hearted read full of big feelings.
EXQUISITELY TOLD
One Girl Began by Kate Murray-Browne (£20, HB, Orion)
Combining past and present, here is an immersive and beautifully told story of three women connected to the same building.
