Here are a couple classic books that I recommend for the hot days of summer.
Frenchman’s Creek by Daphne du Maurier follows a young mother bored with her life in London. She escapes on a holiday to Cornwall with her children where she encounters a French pirate, romance, adventure, possible treason, and a chance to re-evaluate the life she has been living.
I recommend the humorous play The Importance of Being Ernest as a book, but also as an audiobook, part of the The Oscar Wilde BBC Radio Drama Collection. Set in Victorian England, two men live double lives, resulting in misunderstandings and complicated love lives. I found it witty, absurd and charming.
