Beach set reads for summer
French Riviera
Meet me on the Riviera by Fliss Chester
If it’s a sunny destination you’re after then this is the book for you! The story starts in London and then we head to Monte Carlo where the level of glitz and glam is off the scale! You get to experience some wealth in this book, spend time on those posh yachts and boats you often see. It’s quite the experience!
Cornwall
The Path to the Sea – Liz Fenwick
A story set close to the beach and one which delves back in time and history. It’s the story of three women. Boskenna, the beautiful, imposing house standing on the Cornish cliffs, means something different to each of them. How the story unfolds and how the stories come together is really quite something and reading this on a beach and pretending you’re in Cornwall would be particularly nice.
Greece
One Last Greek Summer by Mandy Baggot
You can’t go to a beach particularly in Greece and not think of Mandy Baggot. She is the Queen of beach reads set there. Grab the first sunny day you can and take one of hr novels to the coast. The beach is an escape for many of us, but in this novel it’s a complete change of life for Beth Lewis. She’s 31, divorced and so returns to Greece to reflect on her happy days spent there partying with friends. She hopes that by being back here, things will soon start to make sense.
