Book recommendations for summer by Valerie Church of

Book Stop, Tavistock

Booksellers’ choice

Lean Fall Stand by Jon McGregor Jon McGregor’s latest novel is a fascinating and beautifully crafted read. The book comprises three parts as what starts out as an Antarctic thriller, morphs into an amazing and engrossing mirroring of the remote and solitary existence of the Antarctic to that of a subsequent stroke patient - both facing huge challenges and struggling with loneliness, endurance, understanding, discipline. To the consequent trauma of family and friends and the paths towards recovery. An entirely different but worthy successor to Reservoir 13 and If Nobody Speaks of Remarkable Things. Published by HarperCollins, £8.99
