"The Summer Book" by Tove Jansson
We're kicking off our beach read fancast with a modern classic that's as sparkling and wise as the sea itself.

It's a beach read that's as sparkling as a glass of rosé on a hot summer day.
"The Guest List" by Lucy Foley

"The Vanishing Half" by Brit Bennett

"The Beach at Night" by Dorothea Lasky
And finally, for those of you who prefer your beach reads with a touch of poetry, we present "The Beach at Night" by Dorothea Lasky. This novel is a love letter to the beach – to the way it changes with the tides, the way it brings people together, the way it can be both a place of joy and a place of loss.
