Ok, you 'culture vultures' (or not) it's family holiday time and I'm looking for some pulp fiction to indulge in at the pool side between bouts of debauchery at the dinner table and an exhausting stroll to the local taverna ! Since you lot have read every book ever written (collectively) some suggestions would be much appreciated. I am not looking for 'literature' just some light reading with engaging plot lines and believable characters would be good. Genre is not particularly important although I would probably have to draw the line at 'chic lit' and I don't really do historical.
Any recommendations gratefully received (apart from the inevitable vote for Fifty Shades or any of its derivatives)

Heart of War
By the Green of Spring
Follows the fortunes of a number of families from the same fictional town in Kent, before, during and after the war, jumping between those at home and those at the front.
Very readable and historically accurate so far as the time line and major events re concerned.
I've just finished 'Lamentation' by C.J. Sansom, which was superb. It's a real page turner, even moreso if you have already read the first 5 books in the series, although it's not totally necessary.
