I'm looking forward to a week in southern Spain in the company of Remember Me Like This by Bret Anthony Johnston. It has a fascinating fictional premise: a missing child who comes back and a changed family who have to get used to the idea. I've dipped into it already and the writing is clear and beautiful . Besides, a novel that comes with effusive quotes from John Irving and Alice Sebold has to be pretty good . Elizabeth Day Observer (Best Summer Reads 2014)
