Where the Crawdads Sing – Delia Owens
A loan from Steffi, and a readable mix of two distinct habitats on the coast of North Carolina – the marsh, and the town, and the experiences of Kya, the Marsh Girl.
Poems by Amanda Hamilton are interspersed throughout the story, which I found increasingly irritating. But their presence was justified by the end.

Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine – Gail Honeyman
A little kindness goes a long way.
Don’t judge people based on first impressions.
One of those books where there comes a page and you suddenly, unexpectedly, find yourself welling up.
