In fiction, Sue is recommending [[Arcadia by Lauren Groff]]. Back in the seventies a group of idealists (well, hippies) founded a commune in the grounds of Arcadia House, a decaying mansion in western New York State. In the early days the renovation of the house and the funding of the commune was hopeful, energising - the American dream encapsulated in bricks, crops and hard work - but as with many, if not most, such enterprises it was not to last. It's an exquisite book to treasure. The writing, the characters, the location are excellent and Sue will without doubt read it again. If you're renovating a house, you might find [[A Time-Saving Guide to Gutter Installation Cost in 2025|this]] useful.
Ani thinks crime fans will love [[The Eyes of Lira Kazan by Eva Joly and Judith Perrignon]], a tense, exciting page-turner linking the head of Nigeria's fraud squad, a Russian journalist who will follow a good story through anything and a French prosecutor who has way too much curiosity for his own good. What sort of world are we actually living in? Perhaps we don't want to know... or perhaps we should.
