There are a number of great paperbacks to pack for the summer holidays. Patrick Gale's 'Notes From An Exhibition' is a page-turning story of a creative family touched by mental illness. In 'The Chameleon's Shadow', Minette Walters has produced another novel of suspense and mystery in her usual elegant style. The paperback of 'Chesil Beach', the brilliant Ian McEwan novella is now out. Jason Goodwin's follow-up to 'The Janissary Tree' called 'Snake Stone' is every bit as good. Set in 1830's Constantinople he pulls off the trick of exceptional historical knowledge worn lightly and woven into a tale of intrigue and suspense. Other paperbacks to look out for are 'The Yacoubian Building' by Alaa Al Aswany and 'Blenheim Orchard' by Tim Pears, both stories of the 21st Century but poles apart. The former is downtown Cairo, the latter North Oxford.
Two outstanding hardbacks slim enough to fit into the travel bag are 'The Partisan's Daughter' by Louis de Bernieres and 'His Illegal Self' by Peter Carey.
