If you're looking for a summer escape via a good book, we've curated a collection of 5 novels to enjoy, whether you're relaxing on an exotic beach or just reading poolside at home.
Rich with memorable imagery and luminous prose, The Electric Hotel transports you to 1960s Hollywood, where a film student brings a legendary silent filmmaker out of his shell as he tells the story of his remarkable life. Your next stop is The Heaven & Earth Grocery Store, where an early 20th century romance and a sinister plot are woven together with page-turning Dickensian storytelling. Then follow Hannah Martel in Code Name Sapphire as she flees from Nazi Germany to Belgium, where she joins an underground resistance network for a mission that takes a harrowing turn. Take a trip to the English coast in The Sea, the Sea for a tale of envy and murder with all the fury and power of a Greek tragedy. But stay in England for A Little Folly, where you will wrap it up with a witty comedy of manners centered around a brother and sister who are coming of age in a light-hearted Austen-style romp.
