The Queen of Dirt Island

This could be an incredibly sad story were it not for Ryan’s ability to infuse the irony of Irish humor into its darkest corners. Light glimmers just as the story fades to black.

Good Rich People

Though not as well-crafted nor character-rich as her debut, Brazier’s second novel is a twisty tale populated by obsessive, manipulative, and odious people.

The Reading List

This thoughtful and heartwarming debut joyfully joins Gabrielle Zevin’s The Storied Life of A. J.

An absolute delight to read, it will be catnip to book groups craving a story to remind them why we read and how very important libraries and book shops are.

Hot Stew

With tinges of Tom Jones, this is a seriously entertaining romp through one of London’s most historic districts, alongside a band of resilient have-nots who are determined to win out over an entitled heiress.
