Ten Novels to Read This Autumn

Autumn is the season of long novels and short days. We asked everyone who works in the bookshop for the one book they would give a friend this month, and ten titles kept coming up.

For a quiet weekend

The House of Lanterns is the book we have sold most this year: a family story that takes its time, perfect with a pot of tea.

For a journey

Last Train to the Coast reads in two sittings, and The City of Snow will make any wait feel shorter.

Ask us in the shop for the full list, or find every title on our Novels and Translated Fiction shelves.
