The Mirror and the Light by Hilary Mantel, recommended by Diana<\/strong>:
The long-awaited conclusion to Mantel’s classic historical trio! Expansive and poignant, a heartbreaking finale for Cromwell. <\/em>
The third book in the Wolf Hall trilogy.

Belgravia by Julian Fellowes, recommended by Roseann<\/strong>: Get a jump on this latest Julian Fellowes work before its TV version airs. The characters are as rich as their surroundings and the plot is well developed. I like the way Fellowes deftly combines the characters’ fictional doings with the facts of history. <\/em>

The Last Letter to Your Lover by Jojo Moyes, recommended by Dawn<\/strong>:
All the Jojo Moyes books I have read so far have not disappointed me. This wasn\u2019t what I originally expected, it was actually better.<\/em>

The Bookshop by Penelope Fitzgerald, recommended by Roseann<\/strong>:
After World War II, a young woman decides to open a book shop in a small English town. Sounds like a great idea-right? Not to the local grand dame who stoops to every means possible to close it. After you read it, try to watch the movie version and choose which ending (they differ considerably) you prefer. The movie also stars Bill Nigby who makes any film the richer for his presence.<\/em>
