Cathy Kelly recommends
Queen Bee (2023)
Ciara Geraghty
"Laugh-out-loud funny with a spikily endearing heroine who runs full tilt at the menopause with a baseball bat in her hands . . . Fast-paced and hilarious."
Just Got Real (2022)
Jane Fallon
"Witty, funny, beautifully written and dotted with life's truths like sprinkles on a birthday cake."
The Last House on the Street (2022)
Diane Chamberlain
"A powerful novel of our time, both a searing indictment of racism and the power of humankind and a page-turning thriller. It is a very powerful book. Strong and fierce."
Freckles (2021)
Cecelia Ahern
"Freckles is a beautiful, hopeful book when the world needs hope most. Cecelia has written a novel about our search for our authentic selves in a crazy world. Like all her novels, it's inspiring, life-affirming and full of insight."
