The Left and The Lucky - Willy Vlautin
"Things are not going well for Russell, his father is long gone, his mother is often absent, and his older brother is increasingly abusive. Befriending his neighbour Eddie and the motley crew in his orbit, each take a ‘it takes a village’ approach to helping Russell. Because if someone needs you, it might just give you the strength to go on yourself. Beautiful written and full of decency and compassion, this is another excellent book by one of America’s finest writers."

For The Writer
The Ghosts of Rome - Joseph O'Connor
Following on the bestselling My Father’s House, Rome in 1944 still lies under the grip of the lethal SS commander Hauptmann. The atmosphere of fear, trauma and hunger are tangible as the brave but exhausted group known as the Choir, lead by Monsignor Hugh O’Flaherty, try to maintain the ‘Escape Line’ smuggling people out of the city. With the Allies advancing on the city, the ruthless Gestapo’s grip tightens and danger mounts. This gripping story of wartime heroism is simply unforgettable.
