A long weekend is the perfect length for a novel you can finish in one go. These are the ones our team keeps recommending: short enough to read in a day or two, good enough to read twice.

Start with The Salt Garden by Mara Ellison, a quiet family saga on a stretch of coast, and follow it with Moon Jar by Hye-won Park for something shorter and stranger.

If you want a page-turner, Night Shift by Rhea Okafor and The Cold Ledger by Dev Kapoor will not let you sleep.
