Martine's Book Club: Spring Edition

Spring arrives with its familiar pull, toward color, toward escape, toward the enduring pursuit of beauty. Our Editor-in-Chief sets the tone with a curation that is entirely her own.

Posted on
Martine Assouline invites us into her world with a curation of the titles she’s revisiting and gifting this spring.

For the first book club of 2026, Martine Assouline turns the page to reveal something personal: a handpicked edit of titles she loves deeply and returns to often. The selection spans the new and the enduring, from the dazzling Cayetana, the Duchess of Alba: Art, Aristocracy, and the Soul of Spain, a sweeping new portrait of an icon, to the beloved classic The Big Book of Chic by celebrated interior designer Miles Redd. Welcome to Martine's Spring reading list.
