Our Book of the Moment is 'Other People's Children' by Ben Faccini, recommended by a Times critic. A wonderful story about a frazzled man coping with the complexities of life with its different dynamics and extended loved ones. Until something snaps.

Our Missed Opportunity is 'A Theatre for Dreamers' by Polly Samson. This is a soporific summertime novel, set in the early '60s telling the story of young Erica who leaves England with her brother and boyfriend to discover the Greek island of Hydra for a summer of love, chaos and growing up!

Our Wild Card is 'Brawler' by Lauren Groff. This is a brilliant collection of nine short stories which are intense and uncompromising. Groff captures the complexities of human nature with grit and compassion in equal measure. 

Adding a little salt and spice to your Summertime reads!
