Arthur Kipps, a junior solicitor, is summoned to attend the funeral of Mrs Alice Drablow, the sole inhabitant of Eel Marsh House, unaware of the tragic secrets which lie hidden behind the sheltered windows. The house stands at the end of a causeway, wreathed in fog and mystery, but it is not until he glimpses a wasted young woman, dressed all in black, at the funeral, that a creeping sense of unease begins to take hold, a feeling deepened by the reluctance of the locals to talk of the woman in black – and her terrible purpose.

How To Be Bad is a road-movie book about three very different girls, written by three different authors! It’s a light, fun read about friendship and breaking the rules.
The Moor’s Account was on this year’s Man Booker longlist, although it didn’t make it through to the shortlist – I was very disappointed because I was sure it would. This is a historical novel based on a true occurrence – the Spanish conquistadors arrival in America and their encounters with the native people. It is also a gripping tale of one man’s life and how little control he has over his own destiny.
