Every Note Played
A disappointment for Genova's fans as her promising premise falls short in its execution.
PREMIUM
Over the Plain Houses
Readers who enjoy a seamless blend of drama and historical fiction with an Appalachian flavor such as Harriette Arnow's The Dollmaker will delight in discovering the work of Franks, a promising new writer.
PREMIUM
Twain's End
Cullen expertly portrays both Samuel Clemens, the real man behind the myth who displayed a fierce temper at home with his wife and three daughters, and Mark Twain, his charming, gregarious alter ego, the author everyone loved. Fans of historical fiction and biographies will enjoy Cullen's book, which is similar to her previous novel Mrs. Poe in terms of style. Readers interested in Twain's life and work may find this a valuable addition.

This is a gut-wrenching and memorable read, most similar to Genova's Still Alice in its detailed portrayal of the disintegration and rebuilding of a family in the face of a horrible illness. [See Editors' Spring Picks, LJ 2/15/15, p. 31.]

Covering the same period as Laird Hunt's Neverhome and Kathy and Becky Hepinstall's Sisters of Shiloh, this novel is similar to both titles in terms of exploring a woman's journey of self-discovery in a time when women had little freedom or rights. This is an important book that will take its rightful place in the annals of quality historical fiction.
The Rebellion of Miss Lucy Ann Lobdell

Sisters of Shiloh
Similar to Laird Hunt's Neverhome in content and theme, this novel differs in its use of the omniscient perspective (as opposed to the first-person narration in Hunt's book), as well as in its love story that acts as a perfect foil to the gritty realities of war. Fans of Civil War-era historical fiction will find this exciting page-turner thoroughly engaging.
PREMIUM
This Is the Life
Told with equal parts humor and sadness, this book is especially poignant for anyone who has ever had a complicated relationship with a sibling. Reminiscent of Joan Didion's The Year of Magical Thinking, this is a thoughtful reflection of what is truly important in life.
