Are there one or two that particularly take your fancy?Alan

That would be great - many thanks.
I know you are trying to reduce your book collection but if you’re interested in the USSR, I wonder if you have read Red Plenty by Francis Spufford? Absolutely brilliant.
Am struggling to add links but lots of reviews if you google it!

Alison. I'd not heard of Francis Spufford. But following your recommendation I've now read the Guardian review by James Meek. (There's a another good writer whose judgement 1 trust. e.g. I think he hit the bullseye on Brexit.)
Zena's the one with stuff about the USSR. (Nothing I'm allowed to recycle.) Not that she has any illusions about the failings there.
