Awesome August

The books worth looking out for this month.


Gardner

Youโ€™ll Be Sorry by Lisa Gardner

The Dixon family house was once a crown jewel of the White Mountains. Perched on a cliff with breathtaking views, it promised summer adventures, winter skiing, and family gatherings around a roaring log fire.

Until late one August night, when both parents and their four children vanished, leaving behind a trail of bloody footprints, and a mystery that has endured for generations.

Thirty years later, the grand mansion is stirring back to life. For Raquel and Theo Collins, restoring their new home represents a fresh start after a terrible tragedy. Yet a new family in the old home can only mean one thing: the past has returned with a vengeance!

Published August 4th by Penguin Books. 


Boshoff

Brand Beckham by Alison Boshoff

The first and definitive book about the Beckham family saga since the seismic revelations made by Brooklyn about his parents Sir David and Victoria Beckham written by acclaimed Daily Mail journalist Alison Boshoff.

Alison has been following the familyโ€™s story for decades and has unrivalled sources and information. 

What results is a bevy of full-on eye-watering revelations from highly-placed sources, as the author uncovers what lies behind Brand Beckhamโ€ฆ and what lies ahead.

Published August 13th by Cornerstone.


Eleanor by Alice Loxton

An extraordinary historical journey through England from Alice Loxton, Eleanor: A 200-Mile Walk in Search of England’s Lost Queen is a captivating book by bestselling historian Alice Loxton.
