Thank goodness I can count on Irish author John Boyne to write interesting, thought-provoking stories. Earth, the latest in his Elements quartet of linked novels, is up there with the best of them.

I read The Safekeep by Yael van der WoudenIt is historical fiction set in 1961 Netherlands. I rated it 2.5 stars rounded up. There are graphic sex scenes. My review https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
I can see the appeal of Kill Your Husbands by popular young Aussie author Jack Heath, but the mixup between the print version and the audio rather spoiled the experience for me. Jack was gracious enough to explain what happened in a long comment, for which he deserves a lot of credit. Have a look.
