A whole lot of fun at book club this month<br />
Catherine Alliott writes the best weekend reads. Easy but so<br />
enjoyable. In The Pink House, Hugh’s parents, owners of said<br />
house, have divorced, and neither wants to stay in the family<br />
home. So it’s up to Hugh and his wife, Emma, to move in, and<br />
take over all that comes with it, including Hugh’s sister who<br />
lives in the garden cottage, and a mother-in-law from hell. Art<br />
exhibitions in the barn, their son’s glorious wedding, estranged<br />
family arriving unexpectedly .... all goes along swimmingly until<br />
Emma runs into Rory ... the one that got away! A few twists to<br />
keep things exciting ... such a great read. Michael Joseph<br />
After the mysterious death of her sister, Tess is grief-stricken,<br />
lonely ... and broke. She’s forced to rent out Rosie’s old room<br />
to pay the bills. With strangers in her home, Tess discovers a<br />
distraction: their possessions. Tempted into the room while<br />
they’re out, she goes through her guests’ things, imagining the<br />
stories they hold. When handsome and inscrutable Arran takes<br />
the room, Tess finds his diary. The entries are about an unnamed<br />
woman. Crush or obsession? Slowly, his writing takes a darker<br />
tone, and Tess can’t stop reading. But in her compulsion to<br />
uncover the truth, there’s something Tess fails to notice.<br />
The Guest Room by Tasha Sylva is a taut, clever read. Welbeck<br />
Add some sparkle to your<br />
book club with Perdeberg’s<br />
Lighthearted Sparkling Rosé.<br />
If you’re the glass half full<br />
(although, in this case, we’d<br />
prefer it poured to the brim,<br />
please) type of person ... who<br />
finds joy in the simplest of<br />
experiences ... take note of<br />
dewdrops, wildflowers and<br />
butterfly packaging! You’re<br />
going to love Perdeberg<br />
Cellar’s Lighthearted range<br />
of lower in alcohol wines,<br />
which now includes<br />
this lively Lighthearted<br />
Sparkling Rosé. It’s low<br />
in alcohol, so perfect for<br />
the health-conscious<br />
wine enthusiasts,<br />
looking to enjoy the<br />
odd glass of bubbly<br />
(or two). Brimming<br />
with aromas of fresh<br />
cherries, candy<br />
floss, berries and<br />
with hints of sweet<br />
watermelon, it’s<br />
lovely on its own<br />
when celebrating<br />
with friends, with<br />
a sweet and sour<br />
pork dish or as an<br />
accompaniment<br />
to a berry-infused<br />
dessert. Fun, floral<br />
and refreshing.<br />
