13 best books to read in November
Snuggle down this month with 13 great books, from One Day author David Nicholls' new book Us to India Knight's beauty bible.
1
Us by David Nicholls
How do you follow up a book as much loved as One Day? David Nicholls’ 2009 bestseller sold over two million copies and was turned into a Hollywood film. Five years on, Nicholls is back with a perceptive look at the ups and downs of long-term love that is just as compelling, funny and bittersweet. Us is the story of a couple whose 20-year marriage begins to unravel, just as they head off on one last Summer holiday with their son before he leaves home for university. Cue much tension and heart-break, set against the sights of Paris, Munich and Venice. An elegant, grown-up read.
