I had initially opted to miss doing the shadow Jury, but after saying I was;\u2019t going to do it I got a touch of nostalgia, I loved doing the shadow jury ok last year, but the books were maybe not to my taste, but it is about the people I do the jury with year after year it the only time I ever really talk about books , if anyone wants to chat about books regularly I am always free to chat !! other than this post I do. Anyway, in the last year, I may haven\u2019t read as many books as I usually would for a long time. I have thus chosen five books I have read and reviewed that I\u2019d like to see on the longlist this year.<\/p>\n

Brandy Sour by Constantia Soteriou<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

A short novella that use the drinks people order to tell this history of one of the most famous Hotels on the Island and the island\u2019s history and how the split came about. One of the most refreshing ideas for a book I have read in a long time<\/p>\n

Un Amor by Sara Mesa<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I like this tale of a woman heading to a small village in the Spanish hinterland is one of my favourite settings for a book and this had a number of twists and turns.<\/p>\n

Clean by Alia Trabucco Zeran<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

We find a woman held against her will and the story of her and the family she had been a nanny to slowly unfolds.<\/p>\n

My favourite by Sarah Jollien-Fardel<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Now, if Un AMor was a woman going to a village to escape, this is the opposite: a woman escaping her abusive father from a small Swiss village to head to a bigger town and start a life of her own away from the village.<\/p>\n

Stay with Me by Hanne \u00d8rstavik<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Now, a Danish woman in Italy falls for a younger man but experiences echoes of her childhood. This is the latest from one of the best writers around in recent years.<\/p>\n

Now I have read the book The Disappearance by Ibisam Azem, We Do Not Part by Han Kang, and On the Greenwich Line; I would like to see them on the longlist, but time is running out. I hope to review them in the next few days. But time is short.<\/p>\n

What would you pick?<\/p>\n
