Sometimes，reading a modern novel can be tough （Booker Prize-winner The Luminaries ran t0 832pages!），especially if you lack confidence in your literacy skills．In fact，one in six people in the UK never pick up a book because they've experienced difficulties or are out of the habit of reading for pleasure．

You can read Jojo Moyes's Paris For One，a romantic adventure in which 26-year-old Nell books a weekend away to Paris with her lazy，neglectful boyfriend．When he fails to turn up，she is alone in the city． That is，until she meets Fabien，who shows her the charms of the
French capital-in more ways than one．
Meanwhile，Adele Geras's moving story Out InThe Dark was set in World War I，in which young Rob came back from the battlefields．Determined to find the officer's widow to return the photo of her and their daughter that the captain kept with him，he traveled several thousand miles but never gave up．
Dead Man Talking is a fantastic tale of Pat，who'had a terrible fight with his best friend，Joe，ten years ago-but now hears that Joe is dead，and he must attend his funeral．But Joe is not going quietly that good night-he's lying in his coffin being very chatty indeed．
