Let’s raise a glass (of G&T) to a great read. At book club this month, we’re having the latest Italian Ginato gin ... the Melograno. With juniper berries, grapes and citrus, along with pomegranates which give it its gorgeous hue, it makes a lovely Melograno Fizz - combine 35ml Ginato Melograno gin, a dash of orange liqueur in a champagne flute, top with chilled Prosecco and salute. Around R360 from takealot.com The Island of Missing Trees by Elif Shafak is a rich, magical tale of belonging and identity, memory and trauma, nature and renewal. Penguin • A daring and timely feminist retelling of The Iliad from the perspective of the women of Troy who endured it. Pat Barker’s The Women of Troy is an extraordinary follow up to The Silence of the Girls. Penguin • Between life and death there is a library. And within, the shelves go on forever. Every book provides a chance to try another life you could have lived. To see how things would be if you had made other choices. Would you have done anything different, if you had the chance to undo your regrets? Matt Haig’s The Midnight Library is all regret, hope, and second chances. Penguin • Billy Summers. Killer for hire. But he wants out. There’s just one last hit he needs to do. Part war story, part love letter to a small American town, and features one of the most surprising duos in Stephen King’s fiction. Hodder and Stoughton • In Liane Moriarty’s Apples Never Fall, former tennis coaches Joy and Stan are still winning tournaments, their four adult children are busy living their own lives, all appears good. But now Joy’s disappeared and the children question ... were things never as rosy as they seemed in the Delaney household? Penguin Compiled by KYM ARGO October 21 Get It Magazine 09
