Based on the life of 15th century Chinese doctor Tan Yunxian, this novel follows the life and work of Tan and her lifelong friend Meiling. The friends both care for women - Tan as a physician and Meiling as a midwife. This fascinating story is rich in details of the Chinese culture, traditions, and medicine. I could not put it down.

Weaving together the story of a young boy sent away from his family after Kristallnacht in 1938, and a young migrant separated from her mother after crossing the border from Mexico in 2019, this timely novel is a great read.

Intricate and engrossing tale of magic and loyalty.

Good Night Irene is a magnetic read that will enlighten you about a little known story line about the Donut Dollies who commanded Clubmobiles on the front lines of the WWII. Luis Alberto has crafted a masterful work of fiction drawn from his mother's first hand experience in the war. A love affair, friendship, and intense war scenes make this read impossible to put down. It serves as reminder why we need to read historical fiction.
Reccommended by Kathy

This book is full of nuggets of wisdom from the life of the author's neighbor Charlie who lived to 109, including the importance of grit and of finding joy no matter the circumstance.

Disturbing yet somehow poetic. These stories of small town America beg for re-reading.

I loved this book and cannot wait for the rest of the series! I was immediately drawn into Blackgoose's beautifully built and eerily familiar world where the indigenous and native peoples way of life and homelands are controlled by colonizers. It was a wholly original story that gives old school fantasy vibes with some MAJORLY needed upgrades (Unapologetically strong female lead! Queer! Not centering the colonizer!) and felt like The Golden Compass meets The Little Princess.

I thoroughly enjoyed this tale of WWII wartime England and the consequences that ensued years later from these events. I was enthralled by the plot, and enjoyed the characters. The English countryside and London during and after the war are movingly portrayed.

One of those stories that will stay with me for a long time. So many creative elements all brought together with Tchaikovsky’s insane vocabulary.

There is no doubt that Grann writes fabulous nonfiction. He breathes life into the historical characters and creates a sense of anticipation in the plot, even if you know what is going to happen!
