If you're after ideas for what to read this summer, look no further than our round-up of the best summer reads for 2019.

One very lucky person can win all the books featured on the page - worth over £600.

To enter, simply tell us your favourite female character from a book (old or new and from any genre).

A winner will be drawn at random at midday on Monday 15 July. Usual terms and conditions apply. Note that because of the size and weight of the prize box, we are only able to deliver to mainland UK addresses.

Bess of Hardwick - how could any woman in Elizabethan Times outlive all her husbands, keep her estates and money and somehow build one of the most ostentatious houses of her time and NOT fall foul of Elizabeth I.
Respect!
