Read this month’s feature on The Inheritance
A Good Girl Comes Undone by Polly Williams

Ferney by James Long
‘A beautiful, haunting novel about a love affair that spans the centuries. Images from this are still with me, even though I read it ages ago’
His Other Lover by Lucy Dawson
‘Unlike any other chick lit I’ve read. Energetic, powerful, compulsive storytelling – Lucy Dawson is a name to watch’

The Twilight series by Stephenie Meyer
‘2008 was the year that I discovered the Twilight series. OK, I admit I was a little late, given that 25 million copies of the books had already been sold, but nonetheless it was still one of the most exciting and exhilarating reading experiences I have ever had . . . and one that I can wholeheartedly recommend if you are willing to cancel Christmas/your job/your life and other pressing engagements to utterly devote yourself to Edward Cullen and Twilight, New Moon, Eclipse and Breaking Dawn (then sit in a local cinema drooling over Robert Pattinson for what’s left of the festive season).
Class by Jane Beaton
‘Such, such good fun. This is going to be a really exciting series – I can’t wait for the next one!’
