![]() ![]() Circle of Friends by Maeve Binchy started this for me, a couple of decades ago now. ![]() And by relationship, I don’t just mean love stories, but those of friendship too. It’s funny, because I’m ordinarily not a huge fan of contemporary novels, but for some reason, authors who are British or Irish must have the magic formula for me when it comes to relationship fiction. So, first connection: The Minute I Saw You by Paige Toon. I read a new release recently that reminded me a bit of Normal People, not as though it was a rip-off or anything, but more the tone of relationships forged through trauma, for want of a better description. What can I say? People seem to either love it or hate it. Some of the connections made are so impressive, it’s a lot of fun to follow. You can find the details and rules of the #6degrees meme at booksaremyfavouriteandbest, but in a nutshell, on the first Saturday of every month, everyone has the same starting book and from there, you connect in a variety of ways to other books. It’s the first Saturday of the month so that means it’s #6degrees of separation time! This month’s starting book is Normal People by Sally Rooney. ![]()
