Book 24: Summerwater, by Sarah Moss.
This novel consists of several vignettes in which we are shown the same situation (holiday cabins in the Trossachs, incessant rain) from the point of view of various characters, each with their own troubles and complaints. And then there's that one house with the loud music that seems to unite them in annoyance... Very well written.

Book 23: Prophet Song, by Paul Lynch.
Harrowing and heartbreaking. The writing style took a bit of getting used to, but once you get past that, this book draws you in and really puts you through the wringer.

Book 21: Jamaica Inn, by Daphne du Maurier. A re-read of this atmospheric classic. Desolate landscapes, unsavoury characters, good story, well written!

Book 20: My Father's House, by Joseph O'Connor.
Based on true events, this is the story of a courageous group of people led by Monseigneur Hugh O'Flaherty in Vatican City who risked their lives helping thousands of Jews and Allied POWs get out of Nazi-occupied Rome.
Gripping story, well written.
