A2 - Books for the summer

If you like thrillers, adventure and history, why not try any of Robert Harris'undownputtable novels?

An Officer and a Spy has just come out, and it looks promising. I've read and enjoyed Pompeii and The Ghost Writer, which I recommend.

 

Have a look at his official website.

Or if you feel like something more subtle, I can recommend any of Tracy Chevalier's novels, I enjoyed them all, but especially liked The Lady and the Unicorn, and The Girl With the Pearl Earring.

 

Here's her website.

Have a nice summer!
