W ho would be a historical novelist of calibre and ambition, while the great glittering caravan of Hilary Mantel's Tudor trilogy is still passing? Sarah Dunant's Blood and Beauty, the fourth of her Italian historical novels and the initial instalment in what is planned to be a two-part saga, is her first since Mantel's colossal success. ![]() ![]() But as the complicated lines of friendship, love, and loyalty blur, time is running out-and tragedy waits in the wings. ![]() When Watson and Holmes join the theater program, the "accidents" start anew, giving them no choice but to throw themselves into the case.

The disposable nature of tourist towns is explored in this novel through the livelihood of the inhabitants as we follow them through their daily routines and their expectations of a fulfilling life some, like the narrator’s boyfriend, are desperate to leave for the city that glitters, and others return with their degrees to work in a decaying guesthouse. Already, we have the first of many tensions between the surface and what lies underneath in this evocative and visceral novella. ![]() Elisa Shua Dusapin is unrestrained in her exploration of the innards and the inkiness, the poison and the flesh, the pliable and the deformed, and yet the translator’s restraint in conveying this to an English reading audience is utterly captivating. Reading WINTER IN SOKCHO is a cinematic experience and the image of the eponymous coastal town in South Korea lingers like a memory, which is further sustained once the final page has been turned and the reader closes the book to gaze upon the cover, depicted like a postcard in a retro and hazy style, as if plucked from a tourist shop to bring home. There is nothing quite as satisfying as a deceptively simple book. ![]() 5/12/2023 0 Comments The Faerie Ring by Kiki Hamilton![]() But, that is not all that makes her wonderful.Kiki builds a world in her books that is deep rooted in history that whisks you away to that time, allowing you to feel as if you have hopped in a time machine and traveled back and BAM.you are now in cheery ole England in the 1800's.Ĭaught up in a whirlwind of factual historical scenes you gasp when that world is ultimately turned in to the most elaborate whimsical universe where faeries reside.īut, I am not going to embellish all the fantastical details of this brilliantly written series.I really do hope that you will take a chance and try them yourselves. ![]() I was so fortunate to be able to pick up her Faerie Ring series on a blog tour a while back and completely fell in love with the magical and mystical world that she created.

Tea for Ruby educates as it entertains, providing guidance about manners that children should learn, regardless of whether or not they will be in the company of royalty. ![]() She is instructed to dress appropriately, use proper utensils, say please and thank you, and not to speak out of turn. When Ruby receives a special invitation to have tea with the Queen, everyone floods her with advice on the appropriate way to behave. In Tea for Ruby, she pens a charming story with an inviting appeal comparable to the skills possessed by many other leading children’s book authors.

I don't know exactly what Tal did in his previous political/legal-y Government-y career, but the intricate detail in the narrative felt wholly believable to me! It's romantic suspense perfection and the subtle nods to that other White House couple were the best kind of Easter Eggs. ![]() If you've ever read anything from him then I'll summarise by saying this book has all the feels of Enemies Of the State, the absolute mind twisting of Hush and Whisper, and the thrilling edge of The Murder Between Us. I can't actually write a review about the book itself because - like all of Tal's novels - they have to be experienced blind. Repeat about a million times, throw in a half dozen WTF moments and then mix up with a sprinkle of "I don't believe it" and you come vaguely close to trying to describe the complete headrush of The Night Of. ![]() ![]() So this one started off a bit rough for me. Felix may be out of his element, but one thing he is sure about is that he doesn’t want to leave, even if it costs him his life. Being chased by cops, kidnapping a man, and breaking into a drug operation seems to be his normal since arriving in Lane’s life. Together, Felix and Lane will be forced to see just how far they will go to protect each other. But when someone begins stalking Felix, he is left to question who Lane is and what actually happened to him. There’s something about Lane that draws Felix to him and makes him question if this place could finally become a home for him. ![]() ![]() Anything has to be better than the place he’s leaving. When Felix lands a job taking care of a man recovering from severe injuries, he thinks his life may have just turned around. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Actually, if you think about the fact that Frances Hodgson Burnett of Secret Garden fame also wrote romantic novels, it's not that surprising.
