The holiday season is in full swing, and we’ll help you decide which lightweight (both in weight and perception) books to take with you on your trip.
“Love and Friendship” – Jane Austen
A timeless classic that everyone will love. This is a collection of the author’s early novels, including Love and Friendship, Castle Leslie and Lady Susan. You can read it in a day and enjoy Austen’s irony to the fullest.
“Violets on Wednesdays” – Andre Maurois
A collection of life and real short stories that glorified Maurois throughout his life. The book is very large, but lively and light short stories with unexpected endings will not leave anyone indifferent.
“Daisy Jones and Six” – Taylor Jenkins Reid
The book recounts the rise of the mega-popular fictional band that became the face of rock ‘n’ roll in the late 1970s, and the problems that subsequently led to the band’s seemingly overnight dissolution, with its members never to be seen together again. The book was adapted into a movie: the series starred Sam Claflin, Riley Keough, Camila Morrone, and Suki Waterhouse.
“The Challengers” – Emilia Hart
The story of three women from the same family, who lived in different eras. They all had to face difficulties and hardships, but they were united by fortitude as well as magical abilities. A book about women’s resilience, independence and the power of nature.
“Before You” – Katarina Mora
A perfect novel for those who want to relax and read about love (full of steamy scenes). The founder of an IT company and his best friend’s sister pretending to be someone else. It seems like what could go wrong? The answer is: everything, because it’s forbidden for him.
“Holiday for Two” – Emily Henry
Best friends Poppy and Alex have been going on holiday together for 10 years, but one argument looks set to change that forever. But the girl refuses to give up and tries to convince her friend to spend another holiday with her. Will she be able to change their lives?
“Strawberry-flavoured Italian summer” – Anna Bonacina
A famous romance novelist spends the summer in a small Italian village. While the city lives its own pace, the heroine, who has decided never to fall in love again, meets a local man.
“Rage” – Alex Michaelides
The ideal book for fans of Agatha Christie’s Ten Little Indians and Knives Out: The Glass Onion. A former movie star invites her closest people to gather on a small, private Greek island. The murderer is already planning his crime, and the narrative comes from the playwright’s point of view.
“Girl from Brooklyn” – Guillaume Musso
Rafael and Anna were going to spend their whole lives together, but the past of his chosen one shocks the man. And then she disappears… Rafael will have to investigate Anna’s past and solve many mysteries to find his beloved.
“Theatre” – Somerset Maugham
The subtle, searingly ironic story of a brilliant, intelligent actress who celebrates her “midlife crisis” with an affair with a handsome, young “predator.”
