Burial Rites by Hannah Kent. This novel is a debut and the lady who wrote it is a) younger than me, and b) under 30. So massive props to Hannah Kent. Secondly, this was a manuscript that publishers came to her for. Not vice versa. That’s pretty much unheard of for a debut novel.… Read More Burial Rites – Book Review

Surrender to the Marquess by Louise Allen This is a really intriguing book, above and beyond the charming Regency romance it tells.

Louise Allen really knows her subject, and,… Read More Surrender to the Marquess – Book Review
