Still Lives by Sarah Winman is a glorious, decade-spanning sagas set mostly in Florence. The sort of don't-want-it-to-end book which stays lodged in your heart long after you've reluctantly turned the last page.
Great recommendations - thanks Eleanor! And I too found Stolen Focus fascinating and sobering. I've just picked up Hari's book Lost Connections which digs into how modern life is feeding into mental health challenges - important to understand the impact of technology on our well being, and the steps we need to take to stay healthy!

Would love a poetry recommend. Holly McNish and Harry Baker are on my bedside table at mo.

My most recent poetry foray was Dart - a poem about the river - and I re-read the Wasteland
