20 gripping books: Fiction and non-fiction to read this summer
We round up the best books so you will not be stuck for a great read as days get longer

From the work of established masters to impressive sophomore outings and blistering debuts, there’s an embarrassment of reading riches on offer this summer. These 20 brilliant works of fiction and non-fiction are not to be missed.
Animal
Bloomsbury Circus, £16.99
Taddeo’s first book, Three Women, drew on 10 years of reporting to bring an up-close and personal account of the sex lives of three real women. It was a powerful book that received a powerful response from readers, who warmed to its open and brave subject matter. Now back with her debut novel, Animal, Taddeo covers similarly coal-hot territory. In the opening passage, our narrator, Joan tells us her married lover shot himself in front of her while she was in a restaurant having dinner with another married man. From there, it follows Joan’s journey to Los Angeles to find a woman named Alice, and slowly feeds through Joan’s extraordinary life story.

Books to look out for in 2021


Books to look out for in 2021
Irish fiction
New work that has been a long time coming generates a particular shiver of anticipation.
Small Things Like These (Faber, October) will be Claire Keegan’s first new work since her novella Foster, still a bestseller 10 years on. Her publisher says: “An exquisite wintery parable, Claire Keegan’s long-awaited return tells the story of a simple act of courage and tenderness, in the face of conformity, fear and judgment.”
