May’s book choice is:

Created by Nadia, female founder of Ambika Social and in collaboration with fellow female authors.... This months chosen book is described (by Florence Knapp; who inspired this choice) as;

“The List of Suspicious Things, by Jennie Godfrey - Set in 1980s Yorkshire, it's about a young girl, Miv, trying to make sense of the world under the shadow of the Yorkshire Ripper being at large, racial tensions within the local community, and closer to home, her own mother's wordless breakdown. It's so insightful around the complexities of human cruelty, both those micro-hurts of childhood (that don't feel micro at all) and more serious abuses. It manages to feel like a warm cocoon of a novel for being told through the eyes of incredibly likeable characters, in possession of an inherent goodness. Wonderful.“
