Curl up with a terrific read this <strong>Aug</strong>ust<br />
Sheila O’Flanagan’s novels are always<br />
fabulous options for those who<br />
love a little chick lit (don’t we all?).<br />
In Her Husband’s Mistake, perfect<br />
couple Roxy and Dave McMenamin<br />
first kissed when Roxy was 16, and<br />
they’ve been in love ever since.<br />
They have a great marriage and a<br />
wonderfully happy life. Until the<br />
morning after Roxy’s father’s funeral,<br />
when she walks in on Dave in bed<br />
with their next-door neighbour. Time,<br />
it seems, for Roxy to make some<br />
big life-changing decisions. Lovely,<br />
warm, funny ... a wonderful book for a<br />
weekend read. Headline UK, R325<br />
Also look out for the best<br />
Jack Ryan thriller yet!<br />
Tom Clancy’s Oath of Office, written<br />
by Marc Cameron, is a roller coaster of<br />
heart-stopping action ... a thriller that<br />
will get your adrenalin going from<br />
the first chapter to the last. When<br />
US President Jack Ryan asks his new<br />
Secretary of Homeland Security what<br />
frightens him, Mark Dehart answers<br />
‘Three things’. Which three? ‘Any three.<br />
If they all happen at the same time.’<br />
From a quiet beach in Portugal where<br />
a beautiful woman kills a French<br />
arms dealer, to protests against the<br />
oppressive regime in Iran, to the<br />
Russian troops and ships massing<br />
on the borders of the Ukraine, across<br />
the world a conspiracy is brewing ...<br />
one so darkly brilliant that no one has<br />
joined the dots. There’s a madman<br />
with a plan ... a plan more devastating<br />
than President Ryan can imagine.<br />
This is the latest (and may well be the<br />
best) in Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan series.<br />
Penguin, R275<br />
Oh. A new Catherine Alliott novel.<br />
Yay! Just the thing for a chilly<br />
weekend curled up on the sofa<br />
with a box of biscuits. In A Cornish<br />
Summer, Flora’s been in love with her<br />
husband, Hugo, for two decades. Just<br />
a small problem ... for 15 of those years<br />
he’s been married to someone else.<br />
Now she’s been invited to paint her<br />
ex-father-in-law at the family home in<br />
Cornwall. It promises to be a blissful<br />
summer ... except for her awful exmother-in-law,<br />
and ... oops ... it appears<br />
her ex-husband and his (admittedly<br />
lovely) second wife are going to be<br />
there too. Not so blissful after all. A<br />
few lovely twists, great characters,<br />
many laugh-out-loud passages and<br />
you’ve a brilliant chick-lit read. LOVED<br />
it! Penguin, R290<br />
A nine-month-old baby is hard work. Sleep-deprived Carolina and<br />
uncommunicative Aksel are having a tough time but know things will get better.<br />
One evening they go to sleep, Carolina thinking ‘we have thousands of days<br />
ahead of us’ ... but they don’t. Aksel dies in his sleep, leaving Carolina’s world<br />
upside down. Based on author Carolina Setterwall’s own experiences, Let’s Hope<br />
For The Best is all about life’s small moments. It’s about motherhood and family,<br />
love and death. An emotional, honest, unforgettable read. Bloomsbury, R295<br />
