Francesca Segal's novel "Welcome to Glorious Tuga" is a delightful beach read set on an imaginary island populated by descendants of Brazilian Jews, incorporating elements of Jewish culture like Ladino language, Hebrew phrases, and dybbuk stories.

Daniel Silva's latest book, "The Other Woman," featuring Israeli intelligence officer Gabriel Allon, is described as a quintessential beach read, designed to provide entertaining escapism rather than literary depth.
