A number of books are coming out right now by writers I know and admire. Two of these I gave a glowing blurb, so I’m especially thrilled to see them getting such great reviews. Here’s a charming one for Mary Sharratt’s Daughters of the Witching Hill, from Passages to the Past:
“Don’t you love it when you start a book and immediately get sucked in just from the first few sentences? Well, that’s what happened when I began to read Daughters of the Witching Hill. This book seriously had me from hello!”
And also this morning, Stephanie Cowell’s novel on Monet, Claude & Camille, got this rave in the Boston Globe:
“Stephanie Cowell is nothing short of masterful in writing about Claude Monet?s life and love… Claude & Camille is both a historical novel and a romance, but Cowell?s graceful, moving treatment of Claude and Camille Monet?s turbulent love defies categorization. It?s an enthralling story, beautifully told. … She writes in language that is simple, elegant, and extraordinarily evocative.”
Bravo!
