Top 4 Holiday Reads - Gemini Woman

When we're on holiday we read in a slightly different way. It could be a time to really throw yourself into a thriller or to read something gloriously girly without any guilt. Along with the help of the Richard and Judy Book Club, we’ve pulled together our top 4 holiday reads that will change up your usual reading style and keep you engrossed from the plane to the pool. 

1) A Dictionary Of Mutual Understanding – Jackie Copleton

What it's all about - “Amaterasu Takahashi has spent her life grieving for her daughter Yuko and grandson Hideo, who were victims of the atomic bomb dropped on Nagasaki in 1945. Now a widow living in America, she believes that one man was responsible for her loss; a local doctor who caused an irreparable rift between mother and daughter. When a man claiming to be Hideo arrives on her doorstep, she is forced to revisit the past; the hurt and humiliation of her early life, the intoxication of a first romance and the realisation that if she had loved her daughter in a different way, she might still be alive today.” – Synopsis

2) According To Yes – Dawn French

What it's all about - “The Foreign Land of the Very Wealthy - otherwise known as Manhattan's Upper East Side - has its own rigid code of behaviour. It's a code strictly adhered to by the Wilder-Bingham family. So when Rosie Kitto, an eccentric thirty-eight-year-old primary school teacher from England, bounces into their lives with a secret sorrow and a heart as big as the city, nobody realises that she hasn't read the rule book.” – Synopsis

3) The Girls – Lisa Jewell

What it's all about - “Midsummer night: a thirteen-year-old girl is found unconscious in a dark corner of the garden square. What really happened to her? And who is responsible? Utterly believable characters, a gripping story and a dark secret buried at its core: this is Lisa Jewell at her heart-stopping best.” – Synopsis

4) The Last Act Of Love - Cathy Rentzenbrink

What it's all about - “In the summer of 1990, Cathy's brother Matty was knocked down by a car on the way home from a night out. This is the story of what happened to Cathy and her brother, and the unimaginable decision that she and her parents had to make eight years after the night that changed everything. It's a story for anyone who has ever watched someone suffer or lost someone they loved or lived through a painful time that left them forever changed.” - Synopsis
