This year I plan to go through the entire alphabet, one letter per month. For June 2021, the sixth month, I’m listing all of my favourite novels that begin with the letter ‘F‘. I am choosing these titles from the books I’ve read since I began blogging seriously – five years ago (when I retired). There are 13 books recommended here.
If the title begins with an initial article such as The, A, An etc., I will be using the second word. For instance, “A Man called Ove” will be included in my M post. “The Silent Patient” will be listed in my S post.
Hopefully you’ll find something that interests you from these posts. As always, I’ve linked the book cover to Goodreads, and the title link will take you to my review of the book.
“The Forgotten Garden” by Kate Morton
“The Family Upstairs” by Lisa Jewell
“For The Missing” by Lena Bengstdotter
“Five Night Stand” by Richard J. Alley
“From The Cradle” by Mark Edwards and Louise Voss
“The Forgotten Letters of Esther Durrant” by Kayte Nunn
“Foe” by Iain Reid
“Fatal Promise” by Angela Marsons
“The Fortune Teller’s Promise” by Kelly Heard
“Follow You Home” by Mark Edwards
“The Forgotten Girls” by Sara Blaedel
and last, but definitely not least, the first two titles in the fabulous Matilda Darke series:
“The Fallen” and “For Reasons Unknown” by Michael Wood
If you have already read any of these titles, I’d love to hear your thoughts in the comments.

When someone asks me to recommend a book…
I read and enjoyed Follow You Home. I have The Forgotten Garden on my bookshelf upstairs, but have not read it yet. Of course Fatal Promise is on my TBR as I work my way through Angela Marson’s Kim Stone series. I love these posts Lynne, because I always find something to pique my interest. This time it is “The Fortune Teller’s Promise” by Kelly Heard.

A book that comes to mind is A Fan’s Notes, by Frederick Exley. It came out in the 1970s, I think, and made a huge splash. But I guess it mostly has been forgotten by now.
