'A Change of Character, Not a Change of Air' resonated with me most, but also the beginning of 'Make Yourself at Home with Next to Nothing' where he talks about Saturnalia preparations made me think about the over-commercialisation of Christmas in some parts of modern society.

Tough question! If I had to choose just one, it would to be "How can you wonder your travels do you no good, when you carry yourself around with you? You are saddled with the very thing that drove you away" - it made me reflect on modern life and my own personal experiences quite a lot!

Just finished "The Wife Upstairs" and LOVED it.

If you like Freida McFadden, I recommend Lisa Jewell 😊

It's been popular here in the UK too. I'm not sure I would rush to see a film adaptation.
Ive only read 2 of her books, I preferred this to "The Boyfriend", and would probably read another of her books, but Lisa Jewell would be my go-to thriller writer of a similar tone.

I read this last year and it was gripping! As you say, not for the faint hearted, and I did have to pause many times! But a very effective short novel!

Fantastic book - it's one of the few I think everyone should read at least once in their lifetime

Just read the synopsis for Private Rites based on your comment, and it's definitely going on my 'to read' list!
