Seems to me that anything that husband-and-wife team, Anne Buist and Graeme Simsion put their literary talents to is a winner. The Glass House is topical, laced with humour and quite thought-provoking. 5 big ★shttps://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
I enjoyed this historical novel set in post war Finland in which two ex-soldiers, now diplomats, one Soviet and one American drunkenly agree to a secret 300 mile cross country ski race in the arctic wilderness of northern Finland.

My overdue review for
Lola in the Mirror by Trent Dalton, a beautiful novel that I enjoyed as much, if not more than Boy Swallows Universe https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

Ann Patchett's Tom Lake is possibly my favourite read of 2023, and Meryl Streep's narration really does it justice. 5★shttps://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
The List of Suspicious Things is a brilliant coming-of-age debut novel by Jennie Godfrey. 5 big ★shttps://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
